I.R.I.S.
THE INSTANT RESPONSE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
The Instant Response Interactive System, or "I.R.I.S." for short, is a gift that the new crew will find themselves equipped with upon release from the stasis bay. The I.R.I.S. is prepared via nanite integration that attunes the I.R.I.S. to the user's neural impulses, allowing for max efficiency and one-handed usage while on the road. From texting and receiving messages to and from fellow crew and Supervisors, to taking photographs, the I.R.I.S. has proven to be a crew member's best friend. Accessing functions and apps is just as easy as counting one, two, three!
π°οΈ Can we hack the I.R.I.S.?
No, you cannot hack the I.R.I.S. in any capacity. If there is any attempt made to hack your device or someone else's, you or that person will receive a sharp (harmless) electroshock. This will intensify with repeated attempts. If your character insists on continuing to try and hack, they will eventually be locked out of their I.R.I.S. and must see a senior crew member for unlocking.
π°οΈ Can the I.R.I.S. be removed from my body?
No. The I.R.I.S. corresponds to company brand nanites implanted in the new crew prior to awakening from cryosleep (a mandatory service we provide all of our employees). Should you lose the limb with your I.R.I.S. attached to it, these nanites will still be active inside of your bloodstream, but will reroute to your other available arm or remaining limb to reconnect with the I.R.I.S.
π°οΈ What can I do with the I.R.I.S.?
"What can't you do with the I.R.I.S." is the question you should really be asking. Your device has a number of functions to make your stay aboard the Eudora that much easier. Each of these functions is accessible with finger motions and hand gestures to manipulate and activate them. Below are the functions your Instant Response Interactive System is capable of:
βοΈ Callsign: When you first open up the I.R.I.S. functions, you'll be prompted to select a callsign. This will be used as your username, internal email address, and during deliveries to protect your identity. You only have three chances to input a work-appropriate callsign before you're locked out and one will be automatically generated for you. This cannot be changed after it's been set, so choose wisely! (Ask the mods if you're not sure what's "work-appropriate" or if your character is a clown and we'll be happy to work with you! Alternatively, you can also "accidentally" auto-generate one, as the Eudora systems will happily lock in something for you based on the information it has on you.)
π Biometric Lock: Your phone is programmed to respond to the nanites in your body and therefore will only unlock to its owner's touch. (It is, after all, inside of you.)
π₯Ί Emojis: A wide selection of emojis as well as a sticker shop where you can download digital sticker packs. This does also include kaomoji capabilities.
π¬ Messages: Swipe horizontally through the air with your palm to reveal a keyboard projection and select the Messenger app from the options. This will also allow you to read your past convos.
ποΈ Notes: Swipe horizontally through the air with your palm to reveal a keyboard projection and select the Notebook app from the options. The Notebook has an autosave function in place.
β¨οΈ Adaptable Keyboard Projection: Want a big, computer-standard keyboard? You got it. Want a more manageable, phone-sized keyboard for legitimate texting in the palm of your hands? Done. This applies to all applications that utilize typing.
βοΈ HER-MES app: Access to the HER-MES network. Read the HER-MES section below the I.R.I.S. section for more information.
π¦ JUNOboard: An app that allows users to adjust their settings when using the interactive JUNOboard in the observation deck's lounge. This includes brush type, size, and color; whether a project is private or a collaboration; and enabling the I.R.I.S. keyboard to be synced to the interactive wall for those that would rather type or dictate their additions to the board.
πΈ Camera: Create a frame with your index fingers and thumbs around your desired shot and say "cheese!"
π» Music Player: To access our intergalactic music library, raise both of your index fingers like a conductor's baton and activate the digital library. Where is the music playing from? Don't think too hard about it.
πΎ Games: Holding both hands up like you're holding a controller, tap your thumbs to bring up the game library. At the moment, there's only Tetris, Space Invaders, Snake, Suika, Infinity Craft, and something called ClanGen.
π Accessibility Options: If you require certain accommodations for your I.R.I.S., please let your Senior Crew know and they will be able to assist.
π Auto-Translate: While the nanite injection allows you to auto-translate spoken languages - you can bypass this both ways if you concentrate or there's intent in the word(s) (ie; sensei staying sensei) - it doesn't apply to written text. You can, however, pull up an app in the I.R.I.S. that will scan and translate for you.
π± Data Transfer: If in possession of a datapad, it is possible to sync your information from the I.R.I.S. to the datapad. You just need to get your hands on one.
( If you are looking for other applications, see Senior Crew members for suggestions or upgrades. )
π°οΈ Are my messages private on the I.R.I.S.?
Your messages on the I.R.I.S. are yours and yours alone. Even if you pull up your holographic screen and keyboard, everything is protected by a digital privacy screen overlay that will prevent anyone beside you or behind you from seeing what you're up to. You may, however, share your screen purposefully, which the I.R.I.S. will recognize with the flick of your fingers. This security is not 100% guaranteed if the information from your I.R.I.S. has been synced to a less secure datapad. However... Upper management and Nut & Bolt IT can obviously read your messages.

HER-MES SYSTEM
THE VOICES OF THE VAST AND DEEP VOID
Unlike I.R.I.S. the HER-MES System is an intergalactic collaboration on deep space communication and is not owned by one entity. Using the 550th iteration communication latency mitigator, termed "Limitless," the HER-MES system allows people from across the stars to share a message on a HYPER-cloud platform.
Currently, HER-MES does not have a navigation system accurate enough to deliver private messages past 1 light-skip away (βββ international units). Sending a complete message past 1 light-skip far to a coordinate and specific individual would cause delivery latency which could take a lifetime to receive, then a lifetime to send. Both the sender and recipient must own at least a 1860th generation Tracking and Data Relay Satellite ($βββββββββββββββββββ) for a 42-month delay. The farther apart they are, the more advanced technology required.
The purpose of HER-MES is for thoughts, emotions, and feelings to reach the lonely and remind them even in the darkest night or the most blinding light they are not alone. The system guarantees your message will be immediately received, read, felt, and understood by someone out there in deep space.

π°οΈ TD;LR What is HER-MES? What makes it different from I.R.I.S.?
If I.R.I.S. is like your smartphone, then HER-MES is more like a public social media app, but for deep space. It's populated by messages from all over the however many galaxies out there. Characters can send their messages to deep space and it'll show up on the HER-MES platform. HTML text version may be found in the comments here.
π°οΈ Message type?
HER-MES is a text-based platform, but input can be: 1) thought, 2) emotion, 3) voice, 4) text, but it is translated into text. TTT Thought to Text, ETT Emotion to Text, VTT Voice to Text, T... T...ext. The messages are anonymous unless you leave a signature.
π°οΈ Do messages have to be purposeful?
No. Your character can buttdial because I think it's funny. If your character has a very coherent thought or strong feeling and you want that to go out in space, then go ahead. Submit IC and OOC messages here. Examples and explanation will be found on the form.
π°οΈ How many can I send? Is there a limit?
As many times as you want, Space Cowboy. HER-MES has the bandwidth of more galaxies than I can imagine because it's fiction. However, for OOC expectations, any messages submitted past 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST will be rolled over to the next day.
Feel free to track the week toplevel so you receive notifications for edits/updates.
π°οΈ How can HER-MES be accessed?
Through I.R.I.S. and any intergalactic portal. Basically, any electronic with a screen that has access to galaxy internet.

Helping someone who didn't want help could be a curse. However, some people couldn't ask for help despite needing help. It was because they had never asked for it before.

Please, ask for help. Reach out. There's a hand ready to hold yours.
Having struck upon a hypothesis, there is but one thing the wise woman desires. Irrefutable proof.
Stay fleshy, baby girl.
PAY ATTENTION THE LOT OF YOU
Every time I lose someone, it's like a door or a window shutting in the house. One by one, it all goes dark.
A peek beyond the curtain, for those who bother. The dead are never very far. This place is a graveyard. I reckon they're watching even now.
I'm keeping Monsieur Scien out of trouble!
MATRON OF DEATH, EBON QUEEN OF RAVENS, WE QUESTION YOUR PATH, WE DEMAND THAT YOU HEAR OUR CRY OF GRIEF.
Teeth and trash everywhere! Rats and Graham crackers! What in the bloody fuck does this mean!
Monsieur Luke is doing just fine.
It's in me like a splinter; when I try to remove it, it just burrows deeper. When does it end?
I miss everyone a whooole lot!
The dead will watch for anyone else lost. Stay safe, if that's even possible.
Eat shit, Jeff.
Imagine being named Jeff... That's so sad.
Luke, you idiot. Why didn't you say something?
No gooshing. No gooshing. None.
Owner. Enda Brat. Teach the Masochist how to play Suika. Send your scores. Loser gets fed to the rats.

Hello. βββββββββ. We're doing well, but we could be doing better. Please hang in there.
Signore Luke is still fine and not learning shibari, at least as far as I'm aware? I'll let him know that people are expecting him to read up on it right away!
STOP I DIND'T EVEN WRITE THAT SOMEONE STOLE MY βββ IDENTITY
I have no interest in poetry. Though comedy is surprisingly appealing, after watching all of you. βββββ
ThronΓ©, Lucien, Sidon. I'm alright.
The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Why is there so much flesh?
I miss you, Viktor. I hope you can hear me, somehow.
Were those raspberry cookies you, somehow?
Do you have a recipe?
Luke, you're an idiot.
Wow, this Luke guy can't get a break. Kinks out on main and being called an idiot.
Sorry, everyone. Those items didn't work quite how we wanted them to. Things are changing; we'll keep trying.
From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
What am I even reading here? Are you guys all right? -C

You are gay said the Holy Spirit
I don't know who made the cookies, but they looked very tasty! I hope they were!

Is that you, Viktor? Where are you? I hope you see that you're missed.

NO SOLICITORS!!!!!! EXCEPT TAMALE LADY
Well, it feels really weird to say this when I have to stare at a bunch of messages of everyone losing their minds, but I miss you all. -C
I've always liked a gin and tonic. It doesn't try to hide what it is. But lately, I've wanted to try making a Dark and Stormy: rum, ginger beer, and lime juice. What do you think, guys? I've got 28 drinks to make, so I'm looking for ideas.
