    I really liked how the young teen was using words like ‘infosec’. The company we keep.

  2. Whippersnap had actively wanted to avoid the fighting. Had tried to convince people not to help deal with Cauldron. Had maybe convinced a few. Had maybe slowed down some with new doubts or hesitations, when any doubt or hesitation could get someone killed. - Excerpt from Infrared 19.a

    Whippersnap: I saw you in the casey thread. you had your name changed but you did a bad job of covering up the change.
    Space_Squid: I didn’t cover it up. The old name was a lark at a time I needed to laugh but I’m done with it. Its embarrassing now
    Whippersnap: some of us were talking in the chat and we agree you weren’t an ally in the end.
    Space_Squid: I see
    Whippersnap: Egg was only one to come back from there. he said you and Weld stopped us from getting justice
    Space_Squid: the messages I got. They weren’t from angry civilians. They were from you?
    Whippersnap: from us.
    Space_Squid: okay. no need to worry then. I won’t come back. I wish you all the best.
    Whippersnap: fuck you
    Space_Squid: You should know I killed her. The one who did this.
    Whippersnap: you stopped us from getting our justice and took it for yourself.
    Space_Squid: I guess so
    You have left the conversation. - Excerpt from Glow-worm P.8

  6. A camper van pulled up and parked in the middle of the street, near where the bottleneck had been. The people that emerged were Case Fifty-threes.

    Sveta went tense.

    “Do you know them?” Kenzie asked.

    “Circe,” Sveta said. “Whippersnap. Bristle. He must have researched me or asked Tattletale about me, and then reached out to them after. They were teammates, once. They know me.”

    “You talked about them in group,” Tristan said.

    Sveta nodded. - Excerpt from Shadow 5.5
