Chloe Bouchard We have not spoken in a while, but people keep mentioning your name and skills.
Chloe Bouchard Have you been looking into the program at all, this app itself?
Chloe Bouchard Have you managed to actually learn anything?

[She was betting 'no,' but it was worth a shot.]

Tim Drake Yes and no.
Tim Drake The app runs and stores its data on a cloud system.
Tim Drake The security for it isn't child's play; they really know what they're doing.

Chloe Bouchard So, there is actually a central hub of this app somewhere?
Chloe Bouchard A place that could be theoretically broken into, with an effort?
Chloe Bouchard That is a lot more than most have found.

[Pause...]

Chloe Bouchard Do you think once you get inside, it will simply be the "Rick Roll?"

Tim Drake If their security is as good as it seems, I'm sure they have red herrings.
Tim Drake I can't promise I can even get inside. I already got the "Rick Roll" just from nosing around.
Tim Drake A nice Dora the Explorer video chastising my attempt and what seemed like a path to bricking my device.

Chloe Bouchard More of their wretched humor, I assume?
Chloe Bouchard You work with computers, though, so perhaps use one that you can afford to lose to attempt something more invasive?

Tim Drake I don't exactly have money to toss away on a computer to fry.
Tim Drake Using any public ones wouldn't grant me the access I need. Too many filters.
Tim Drake But I can see what I can do.

Chloe Bouchard I apologize. That is a bit much.
Chloe Bouchard But, if I happen to find anything that could help in that way, I will contact you.
Chloe Bouchard Perhaps there will be old computers at a swap meat?

Tim Drake I can check around for decent ones that someone is willing to part with.

[Actually, he kind of has an idea.]

Tim Drake I'd still appreciate the info.
Tim Drake Who were "the people" by the way? The ones who pointed you to me.

Chloe Bouchard I can assist a little on cost I think, for a worthy cause like this.
Chloe Bouchard And I believe it was Officer Togusa who suggested your name and another.
Chloe Bouchard ...
Chloe Bouchard He didn't say anything bad about you, if you are worried.

Tim Drake Not worried, just curious. I've spoken with Officer Togusa about some of the things going on; the legality of them.
Tim Drake With Retrospec doing what they're doing, I was just making sure it was someone I knew.

Chloe Bouchard Not a bad policy and he seems like a good man, someone I can trust.
Chloe Bouchard There was another gentleman he mentioned. I think it was a chinese name. Young soon, or something like that.

Tim Drake I think Officer Togusa is in over his head like the rest of us.

[But it sounds... mildly affectionate, if it can be called that. It seems Tim feels the same about Togusa regardless of the criticism.]

Tim Drake Young Soon sounds Korean. What about him? Is he a tech guru?
Tim Drake Wait. The guy from the network who posted, right? To ask about the coding.

Chloe Bouchard I believe you are correct on all counts there.
Chloe Bouchard We are all in over our heads, but we have to sink or swim, and I prefer swimming.
Chloe Bouchard I think that the young man in question was trying to set something of that nature up, yes.
Chloe Bouchard sensible, though the concern I have is finding a way to keep them from knowing what we know.

Tim Drake Good luck.
Tim Drake No matter where we go and how we try to communicate, they are going to know.

Chloe Bouchard Yes, I think we're going to need all the luck we can get to avoid notice.
Chloe Bouchard But enough about that. You are well, I hope?
Chloe Bouchard I can't chat forever, but I wanted to make sure you were doing alright.
Chloe Bouchard It feels more important the longer we are doing this.

Tim Drake I'm fine.

[A phatic answer. He's a student, a teenage boy: never fine.]

Tim Drake Things will probably get worse before they get better.

Chloe Bouchard Good, and yes almost certainly, hence the check in.
Chloe Bouchard I will leave you be for the time being. Thank you for speaking with me.

Tim Drake Yeah.
Tim Drake Hey.
Tim Drake If you happen to go to the Retrospec building or know anyone who does, let me know.

Chloe Bouchard I will do so.
Chloe Bouchard If I find anything of interest, I'll let you know.

(OOC: You can assume she mentions the maps in passing. Nobody took that prompt up, so it's just been a quiet visit this month. But, if you want to hit her up more recently, she's got a public post)
