Network Organization/plot post

[gridfather]

Alright folks, this is a call for tech-minded characters. I asked the mods about it here, initially regarding Flynn's initial forays, and have touched base with a few more people regarding a fix.

Flynn will be quite upfront about not having the skill to handle this behemoth on his own, and intends to reach out to others, so, here's where you come in!

If your character has experience building, repairing, modding tech stuff or has a skill set that can help get the Avagi network up and running, then please feel free to tag in here, let us know who they are, and what they can do. This is also a place to plot if you'd like to thread anything with your fellow tech brosises, or handwave anything.

Any questions, please let me know too. I'm not...that great with technology myself lol so I'll do my best.

Straight up: L was the longtime head of the network department in the game that he's CRAU'd from and was involved with it for something like a year and a half before he actually took the reins. Somewhat after his pull point from that game, he was sort of ICly obligated to design a new network from the ground up with remaining resources, and I was OOCly obligated to make it make technical sense under the strictures of the setting (honestly, much more sense than it has to make here -- the technical strictures were tight and I spent a lot of time talking about solar panels and how high routers needed to be mounted in old growth trees -- it was A Time).

He hasn't been involved with it as much in this game simply because it's not where he was originally assigned (he was an intelligence officer, then very briefly Head of Tower on the Moira), then started his own business on Kauto that was more in the direction of his canon occupation -- he did do some stuff with Alan briefly around the time of the slavery plot, to help triangulate the locations of missing characters. But spy and detective stuff is not really currently feasible.

So, while I've been sick since the new stuff went up and haven't really had the opportunity to do anything with it, this is something I would like to get him involved in! At this point, he has a ton of both hardware and software experience and also experience working specifically with alien tech on communications systems via reverse engineering and so on. What he doesn't really do is building hardware from the ground up -- he's more used to hacking existing components and software and security.

That said, he would not be interested in spearheading this kind of project, and neither am I. But participating in it is pretty much the natural direction for him in this setting as it stands, so I'm looking forward to working on it with the other interested parties.

Yo I have a poll up regarding communicator features and admin privileges, if you'd like to chime in for your character!
