Now I don't know what's true. In the first post DC is among the cities lost matrix traffic (by Glitch), and it turns out DC wasn't blocked at all. There are attempts to make everything looked normal, and to make it looked worse. Seems nothing can't be forged. I wonder if the tentacle terror is also a fake.

We know one of the Kays is fake. We don't know which one. Maybe DeeCee is down. Putting up basically accurate accounts that can be shown to be made up because the people supposedly reporting them could not have would be a subtle way to hide the truth, and well within the capacity of anyone half-way competent.

Come to that, maybe Slamm-0 "forgot" that he was a Sysop because this isn't Slamm-0; the thing that got into Netcat's head took the real one out.

I mean, there's no limit to the paranoid speculation possible at this point. 8)

Well, according to the podcasts the power came back shortly after the Terror V’Golkatl got thrown back into its cage though I suspect there’s more behind it than a locked up Terror in Chicago.
Why does that city keep being the center of world balancing events?

The same reason a tire punctures near the previous weak spot: the damage is done.

Even Shadow Social Media gets hacked!

I’d call that a flaw of their only the special people can be part of our group system. It’s not hard to target specific people. A more open system is more prone to mass bad reports but nothing is inherently trusted.

Slamm-O! forgot for a second that he's one of a triad of admins and also has to help with the security. :P I feel his pain. The glee when others have to take on the tough work and then to find out you have to step in as well...

I had read that as a rhetorical question.

You've made Plan9/10 proud... ;)
And I'm hoping that group/haven gets smashed this Ed and we can return to the Datahaven as the Runner repository of knowledge.
Oh, and I want Cpt. Chaos back from his box to run it again. Or at least be one of the big defenders of it.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of "Offical Cannon" being given out on multiple hours of podcasts without some form of data dump for all those that just don't have the time or means to sit around and listen for that damn long.

Calm down, keep calm. There is no official canon being given out by podcast. The various in-character podcasts just got permission to do a tie-in. Chicago wasn't being played with much in the Cutting Black/30 Nights stuff, so we used Chicago since the Neo-A Podcast was already set there. Nothing from the podcast should inform your SR metaplot information other than to confirm there is a blackout.

How do we know that Kay St. Irregular is still...Kay as we know him? I mean...which of his appearances is fake...that one from DC a few days back? Or the recent one?

Or maybe they're both real, just not in the same world. Maybe the barrier between this Earth and another very similar one has been weakened to the point that news stories and reports are leaking from one to the other.

I admit that one's pretty far out there, but I don't think it can be ruled out.

It's still the same as before; they're discussing the video and Kay Street Irregular, then hear from him.

So it smells a lot like a false flag sig-int operation.  Spread a lot of fear and panic and watch how the enemy reacts in order to uncover their forces and resources.

I mean, that vid.  If it was real, someone went through a lot of trouble, knowing they would get shut-down and not knowing how long they had, to just spout off vague threats and panicky calls to action.  A true chummer would have been shouting "It's Ares!" or whomever over and over until their hoop got fragged.  So likely part of the fakenews game.

Unless it was Plan 9.  If he turns up dead then maybe it was real because "you know who they are!" is about as explicit as he gets.

Imo its the NULL doing their powerplay and many other factions using the chaos to their own benefit which makes it seem like a big conspiracy when its actually all unrelated.
And out of character Catalyst is probably just showcasing the bigger metaplot threats for 6E. Bugs, Elder Gods, Anarchism and so 8n.

On the bright side, it has captions now. ;D
