Brazil is a pretty large country, there were lots of things written in the last hour.

There are a few false positives in mentions of São Paulo and new capes, but he can easily enough find some written correspondence between higher-ups about him. Some dry descriptions of his arrival, some official records about him entering the system, and some heavily encrypted emails.

"What are you doing?" asks Sadde curiously.

Permalink

"Spying." Were the emails at any point viewed unencrypted -

Permalink

Well they were read by humans with human eyes on a computer, yes.

Permalink

Then he can get them just by conjuring for the right time, ha.

Permalink

Yep!

There are people wondering how best to deploy him, how long he'll take to become functional and useful, whether he's immune to something called "Awe"...

Permalink

...search for more about Awe.

Permalink

Other than the occasional mention in emails like that, it doesn't seem to be registered anywhere.

Permalink

...complete written works of the person called Awe?

Permalink

Nope.

Permalink

Grrrr. He should probably wait around and see if Masters work on him before he goes back to Brazil. He reads the emails debating how long he'll take to become functional and useful, do they think there's anything weird about him wanting to sleep?

Permalink

Not really, if everything he's saying is true it makes sense, and they're withholding judgment on whether everything he's saying is, in fact, true.

Permalink

Are there specific bits they're skeptical of?

Permalink

The shuttle, the cancer cure, the being able to conjure whatever, the being from Brazil—they can't find anyone matching his description on the system but his description is admittedly not very detailed at the moment.

Permalink

...on the system?

Permalink

Well yeah, you know, birth certificates and national registry and the cameras that keep track of pretty much everything everyone does.

Permalink

It's 1993, how good can their cameras even be? ....contents of their cameras?

Permalink

Their cameras: are actually pretty damn good for the year. Tinker tech. They can recognize faces—not perfectly, not flawlessly, but well—and they're pretty much everywhere public, like CCTV but more. But they date back only about four years, before that no tinker was involved.

Permalink

Huh. That is impressive. Presumably some records got destroyed when São Paulo did, though.

Permalink

Lots and lots, yeah. Most of them, in fact, it was the most populous city in the country by a large margin.

Permalink

So he might be able to sneak by. If he had a Space Elf he might be able to discreetly add himself to their records but he doesn't think he can do that. 

Permalink

"Did you get anything?"

Permalink

"They keep a lot of data. Like, a lot a lot. I think it's safe for me to go back."

Permalink

"Is it normal to keep a lot a lot of data or is that an evil dictatorship thing?"

Permalink

"...it's not normal, I haven't heard of it happening often enough to say if it's an evil dictatorship thing or just, like, something to do with their capes..."

Permalink

"Does America have things like that?"
