(An Intercepted Communication)
TO: K-actual FROM: Watcher_7 RE: Asset Designation: "Magpie"
K-actual: Status report on the new bird. Seeing a lot of weird energy patterns out of Seoul. Looks like TV static having a seizure.
Watcher_7: It's not patterns, K. That's the problem. It's noise. Pure, glorious, unpredictable noise. Standard Buzzing profile for the first 72 hours, then... deviation.
K-actual: Define "deviation."
Watcher_7: Subject was cornered by a rogue Golem in a back alley. Standard procedure is fight or flight. Subject... dismantled it. Not with overwhelming force, but by whispering to the anima-infused clay and convincing it that it was a teapot. It's currently sitting on a shelf in their apartment.
K-actual: ...Convincing it? Did you get a memetic reading?
Watcher_7: Off the charts. The whispers didn't fit any known thaumaturgical matrix. It was like listening to a mathematician describe the color blue to a rock, and the rock getting it. Dragon is sniffing around, but this doesn't feel like their usual brand of chaos theory. This feels new.
K-actual: New is dangerous. Keep watching. If Magpie tries to "convince" our network that it's a toaster, I'm pulling the plug.
Watcher_7: Roger. But K... I think we're going to need a bigger plug.
