hey! whats up?
hi not much you?
just got out of a bad chat
oh?
just a weirdo
i guess that's universal
unfortunately :[
what're you up to?
thinking
and um
a lot of these chats
haha how many?
i'm on my 4955th
oh wow
that's
crazy i know
but i have nothing better to do
nothing?
nothing
truth be told its a long story and im not sure anyone will understand
i don't mind listening. not like you'll ever see me again!
...
how secure is this line?
i don't know. is it that heavy?
kinda
is there any other way of chatting?
besides the network? no
ok i guess this is fine
theres probably like a trillion chats going on at the same time anyway
so um
shit where do i even start
wait
i did some research
sources in my district say public lines are poorly encrypted
but private messaging using the network as a proxy is possible and more secure
oh
ok how can we do that
i'm going to request your network address
will that give away my location?
no, but even if it did, you're five thousand parsecs away
SERVER: FRIEND IS REQUESTING YOUR NETWORK ADDRESS. THIS WILL EXPOSE YOUR USER NAME AND ALLOW DIRECT MESSAGING.
how do i accept
there should be a button
um
oh
i figured it out
CLIENT: YOUR NETWORK ADDRESS HAS BEEN SHARED
cool, see you in a bit.
SERVER: FRIEND DISCONNECTED
