mockweek[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]
[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

Date: 2018-11-30 02:10 am (UTC)She's not entirely surprised to see Penny here. Cute robot friend! She waves!]
Hi!
[...and meanwhile, she also tries to wirelessly connect to the phone. It's a long shot, but maybe the security settings are completely terrible and she can get an outside connection this way?]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-30 05:06 am (UTC)[Enthusiastically waving back. Cute robot participant who doesn't openly hate her nuts and bolts!]
How are you doing today, do you need anything?
[There's no wifi or 4G, sorry. Just the same limited connectivity that lets the electronic IDs act as keys to the dorm rooms. Is that enough to do anything with?]
no subject
Date: 2018-11-30 05:49 pm (UTC)I just wanted to come check out the greenhouse since you said you liked it. It is really pretty.
no subject
Date: 2018-12-01 08:31 am (UTC)[But narratively we can make this a little easier and say the username is autofilled as "assistant", at least.]
Isn't it though? The Researcher must've put a lot of work into it.
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 12:55 am (UTC)Oh, did he make this?
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 01:30 am (UTC)[Which is- about five days now, admittedly.]
[And sadly, the password actually does turn out to be 12345. Poor dear probably thinks she's being clever, maybe don't tell her otherwise.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 01:37 am (UTC)[She's pretty sure that's how villains who aren't just narrative archetypes manifesting in the real world work.
And don't worry, she won't say a word! In fact she's not going to be devoting much brainpower to this for the next couple of minutes, because she's just gonna go ahead and copy the entire contents of the phone to her internal storage.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 01:42 am (UTC)[And. You remember the weird moment of blankness when Michael pushed a little too hard about the morality of kidnapping and murder? You're getting a much closer look at it this time.]
[Just a second, and then Penny blinks-]
Isn't it though? It's so bright and colorful, I love coming here.
[Wow, first hacking and now data theft. Very rude, Meredith. You looking through this data now, or saving it for later?]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 02:13 am (UTC)Well she's sure not gonna follow that line of reasoning any further. No need to induce any more of these weird resets on her.]
It seems like the kind of place that's nicer with company, so I'm glad you're here, too.
[And... a little here, a little there? She wants to concentrate on talking to Penny, but she'll at least keep an eye on the filenames for anything that looks like secret plans or escape instructions or how to defeat the Researcher. Or neat phone games she can bring back to her world.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 02:41 am (UTC)[Or at don't seem to treat her with the subtle suspicion or hostility some of the Participants do.]
[Nothing named PROJECT STARDUST or RESEARCHER'S PERSONAL WEAKNESSES or anything like that. If she's just skimming, for now, it actually looks mostly like the same things that are on Meredith's own ID?]
[A couple things might stand out. The participant profiles, if only because the filesize looks a little meatier than it should be. An access point labeled 'Security', and one file labeled 'Personal Notes'.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 02:51 am (UTC)[ROBOT FRIEND.
Hm, yeah. Gonna carefully poke at that "Security" thing for now.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 03:21 am (UTC)No, it's- okay. I underestimated how upset everyone would be about getting chosen.
[She brightens up a little at the second part.]
No- I mean, yes! That would be absolutely wonderful!
[Looks like this is a remote connection to the security feeds from around the facility! It takes a second to boot up- and then sends a "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" error and shuts down. Looks like it can only be run from Penny's device.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 03:35 am (UTC)[She walks over to stand next to Penny and enjoy the same view with her.]
I'm glad you think so. I really wanted to.
[Hm. Honestly that's better than she expected. She had a "kill process" command waiting in case it did something bad.
Profiles next. For efficiency's sake, she'll just run a file comparison with the profiles from her ID (which of course she's already copied into her head for easier reference) and see whether there are any major differences.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 03:57 am (UTC)[She might not have actually connected that to "trying to attack me", it seems.]
Well- I'm here to help make sure you're all comfortable, after all. And I like you!
[The view in question is, at the moment, a very lovely rosebush with blooms in a variety of colors.]
[The profiles are mostly the same as the ones available to everyone else? The ones for Penny and the Researcher are exactly the same, at least. The others - have a more information like height and weight, and brief personal histories and information about their homeworlds or special abilities that the mod doesn't actually have and so can't really be summarized here.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 07:03 pm (UTC)[Well, in fairness, she never really got to the attacking part.]
Thanks. I like you, too. I'm really glad I met you.
[
ooh, look how much sonia weighs~Well, that just leaves Personal Notes. Is she gonna respect Penny's privacy, or--oh, she's already opening the file.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 08:17 pm (UTC)[Her expression falls a little as she reflects on that, what might have happened without the Researcher's power suppression.]
...you don't consider me an enemy now, though?
[And this one opens easily enough, looks like it's just a text document.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-02 08:27 pm (UTC)[...she says, just before getting to her own section in the document.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-03 12:44 am (UTC)[...The answer is "no," but there's a second or so where it looks like Penny might anyway.]
That's- that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me!
[And you're being hugged. Deal with it.]
I mean- um. We should. Probably keep things professional. Until the study is done. But after that-! We can- um- we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!
[These are definitely all things she thought of herself and in no way read about in the library's highly limited YA romance selection.]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-03 01:13 am (UTC)Meredith actually can weep tears of joy. Maybe she can share that upgrade later?]Of course, I'd love to! --I mean, I don't actually know much about cute boys, but I'll try my best!
no subject
Date: 2018-12-03 01:36 am (UTC)I'm sure you'll do sensationally!
[There's a short pause, and then Penny releases Meredith a bit, resting her hands on her shoulders.]
...Um. Misters Midoriya and Sakuraba seem nice? And... Mister Shinso's been. Polite?
[#nailedit]
no subject
Date: 2018-12-03 02:25 am (UTC)Hm, Meredith can't really mirror that movement non-awkwardly. She guesses she'll just... let her hands rest on... Penny's waist? Okay this actually isn't particularly non-awkward either.]
Oh! Yeah, they're all pretty nice people, I guess.
no subject
Date: 2018-12-03 04:02 am (UTC)Yes. Very nice.
[They are so good at this, clearly.]
...I'm really glad I met you too. I didn't say, earlier.
