I made this on a whim so I had something other than Generator Knight to work on. the third chapter of Hold and Secure's still in the works, by the way, just taking a long time because what's the heck's a schedule. I tried to make all of their typing styles distinct, if sometimes subtly distinct

the ao3 version should have less formatting funkiness since ao3 doesn't have super strict rules constraining writers like, anything that can even be misconstrued as a link will be automatically thrown into the shadow realm

hey, y'think White Knight's official title is Director or CEO or what? maybe he'd actually be CEO since Board of Directors/Consortium and all but who knows. it's a quick fix if I change my mind though

happy anniversary, everyone!

[Special Agent] REX:

[Special Agent] REX: (the space is me reading) right so i'm inviting noah. where's the invite code

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: You cannot invite Noah Nixon, as he is not a Providence Agent ranking Sergeant or higher.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: May I remind you two of the large warning at the top of the screen?

[Special Agent] REX: no

[Special Agent] SIX: being unable to train my student properly because he is too busy chatting with their friends is an emergency.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: This is! a bad idea. I just want to put that in here

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: A channel dedicated to notifying Providence Agents of any incoming threats is a bad idea?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Allowing Rex in is a bad idea

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: I would say your worst idea yet but...

[Special Agent] REX: wow. wow! betrayed by the people i (rex) thought were my friends! friendship ended with AGENT SIX and DOCTOR HOLIDAY!

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Get use to it.

[Special Agent] REX: now BOBO HAHA is my best friend

[Special Agent] HAHA: "NOW"?

[Special Agent] HAHA: listen up RIGHT HERE Chief.

[Special Agent] HAHA has been muted for 60 minutes. Reason: I can see you searching "Navy Seals Copypasta".

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY uploaded shrugemoji .jpg

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Pretend that was uploaded after I said "your worst idea yet but…"

[Special Agent] REX: first of all, kaomoji, second of all, you can just copy and paste those in, and third of all, that was a pretty sick burn you laid down before tbh

[Special Agent] REX: fourth of all, how long have you been creepin on our search results knight

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: I must reiterate. Emergencies only.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: okay but six. why is six still hRex get out of my account.

[Special Agent] SIX: I gave a valid reason for talking in the Emergency Channel.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: okay but that was definitely a genuine six brand joke (tm) with an accented eI have a direct communication line for a reason.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: How are you breaching the dude

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: my dude

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: my amigo

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: my whole deal, is, talking to machines

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Go and interface with the nearest terminal and directly call me, then, instead of forcing me to put up with your awful typing skills.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: hi my name is white knight and i have no concept of online communication

[Special Agent] SIX: you could just give yourself admin privileges instead of using Knight's account.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: :3c

[Special Agent] SIX: have you been deleting Knight's messages?

[milkmaster] WHITE KNIGHT: nah everything's as empty as his room here

[Special Agent] SIX: ?

[milkmaster] WHITE KNIGHT: textbox has had no input from his side since he keysmashed

[milkmaster] WHITE KNIGHT: i just send a signal with my mind-words embedded i have evolved past petty notions such as "keyboards" and "UI"

[needs to buy rex a pizza] SIX: 0232 you sent all of us a heated rant about how your phone had updated and the UI looked like the generic Apple UI. also, I was referring to the phrase, "milkmaster".

[milkmaster] WHITE KNIGHT: he is the master of milk

[needs to buy rex a pizza] SIX: that does not clarify anything.

[Rex can buy his own pizza because Six and Holiday give him an ample allowance] SIX: I must admit he does like milk though.

[milkmaster] WHITE KNIGHT: no fair

[you can change your own nickname and title] SIX: you are not the god of this chatroom.

[although admins can change other nicknames and titles] WHITE KNIGHT: aww, booo

[Agent] SIX: the Petting Zoo?

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: chat jail

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: also dont text and run you'll bump into someone and sooner or later that someone is going to be me

[Agent] SIX: … I've been in Training Room B for the past hour. I'm on my water break.

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: then w

[Agent] SIX: "w"?

[Agent] SIX: is this "teen slang" I should know of.

[Agent] SIX: has Bobo taught you something.

[Captain] CALAN: What's the emergency?

[Agent] SIX: Rex.

[Captain] CALAN: I'll get my team for backup.

[Agent] SIX: Backup?

[Agent] SIX: Calan Backup?

[Agent] SIX: TheWhiteKnight Knight?

[Agent] SIX: …

[Captain] CALAN: Teams Bravo, Delta, and Echo are online. Awaiting further orders.

[Agent] SIX: Explain what is happening.

[Captain] CALAN: Locking down the sectors near Rex's room, sir.

[Agent] SIX: Further. Explanation.

[Captain] CALAN: 1. Lots of notifications in the emergency channel.

2. You said there was an emergency with Rex.

3. White Knight just ran down the hallway in full armor.

[Captain] CALAN: Full-on sprint.

[Agent] SIX: False alarm.

[Captain] CALAN: That was 100% White Knight though?

[Agent] SIX: False alarm.

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: SIX YOU GOTTA

[Captain] CALAN: That doesn't look like a false alarm.

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT uploaded 20150423_camhelmet1_1603 .png

[Captain] CALAN: Okay, that definitely does not look like a false alarm.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY has been unmuted.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: aaahhhhHHHHH WHY IS REX BEING THROTTLED

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: I"LL HAVE YOU KNOW I"M THROTTLING HIM AS M

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: UCH AS HE IS Trying to throw punches and I GET T O HEAL F

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT uploaded 20150423_camhelmet1_1605 (2).png

[Agent] SIX: Just a routine emergency alarm checkup. I will be right back.

[Captain] CALAN: I really can't ignore three pictures of what looks to be a brawl between my boss and my coworker?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Captain, whatever you do, don't shoot!

[Captain] CALAN: Sure can do.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Actually fire if you want but make sure none of them hit Rex

[Captain] CALAN: Or his personal belongings?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: That tasteless poster on his wall would maaaaaaaaybe be better with a few bullet holes in them

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: and, mmmm, maybe a few other things in his room need a bit of replacing. Don't get anything too personal though

[Captain] CALAN: Define "personal".

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: The little rubber ball, and,

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Bobo. Don't shoot Bobo.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Actually scratch that

[Captain] CALAN: Do shoot Bobo?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: NO ABSOLUTELY NOT I meant, try to defuse the situation before someone gets hurt

[Captain] CALAN: Dr. Holiday, have you ever watched a cartoon where when two people are fighting they turn into a dust cloud of flailing limbs and sound effects?

[Captain] CALAN: Because that's what I'm seeing in front of me.

[Captain] CALAN: With more swearing.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Swearing?

[Captain] CALAN: Swearing.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Is Rex swearing?

[Captain] CALAN: Most likely.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Rex better make it out of there alive because I have quite a few words for him

[Captain] CALAN: I'll see to tha

[Captain] CALAN: HOLY SH

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: I don't have to lecture you about showing Rex age-inappropriate media too, right

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Right, Captain

[Captain] CALAN: six here.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Right, Six,

[Captain] CALAN: of course not.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: What happened to Captain Calan?

[Captain] CALAN: I tackled him and took the device. he's fine. I will attempt to break up their fight.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Couldn't you have used your phone?

[Captain] CALAN: I left it in the training room.

[Captain] CALAN: This will be quick.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Hey, did you knock Calan out?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: I'm the one that has to treat him

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: A

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: SI

[Special Agent] REX has been unmuted.

[Special Agent] REX: X YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO JUMPSCARE US

[milky] WHITE KNIGHT: Stand down. The both of you.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Rex was the aggressor in this situation.

[Special Agent] REX: YOU burst into MY room SHOUTING AT ME!

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: And you immediately started swinging your fists — mechanical, I might add — at me.

[Special Agent] REX: what am i supposed to think when six feet of HULKING WHITE ARMOR just KICKS DOWN MY DOOR and starts SCREAMING like a DESERT RAIN FROG

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: "White Knight's here to reprimand me for my behavior in an online environment."

[Captain] CALAN: You don't have to message the Emergency Channel. I'm right here.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: It's a transcript that I'm allowing to be sent because I want it in the records that Rex was in the wrong.

[Special Agent] REX: or that knight was in the wrong, uh, like always?

[Captain] CALAN: The constant notification sound is annoying.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: You can change it or turn it off in the settings.

[Captain] CALAN: Thanks, but this isn't mine.

[Special Agent] REX: hey hey HEY let's not get sidetracked from the main problem here

[Special Agent] REX: which is that what knight did was uncalled for

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: It was reasonable, considering the circumstance.

[Captain] CALAN: it wasn't.

[Special Agent] REX: hah!

[Captain] CALAN: neither of you were acting reasonably or responsibly.

[Captain] CALAN: Knight, you put yourself in danger to prove a point and escalated the conflict. Rex, you continually agitated Knight despite warnings not to.

[Special Agent] REX: rules are meant to be broken

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: ...

[Special Agent] REX: not you too!

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: I must admit, Six has a point

[Special Agent] REX: uuuughhhhhhh

[Special Agent] REX: aaaaaahhhhhghhhhhhhhh

[Special Agent] REX: knight get back here we're suppose to be in shame together

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: I'm heading back to my office.

[Special Agent] REX: yeah, so get back here

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: As Six said, I'm in danger when I'm outside of my office.

[Special Agent] REX: excuses, excuses

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: I can "wallow in shame" within the confines of my nanite-free living space if that pleases you.

[Special Agent] REX: good enough

[Special Agent] REX: are you gonna pay for this, by the way? you tore up one of my posters

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: If I recall correctly, you were the one that did the most damage. I will, however, use some of Providence's repair budget to repair the large gashes and dents in the walls, floor, and ceiling despite causing none of it.

[Special Agent] REX: how gracious of you :\

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: We are now officially back on tra — what happened to my title.

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: Rex.

[cool dude] REX: not me

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: Likely story.

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: The logs say

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: Six.

[Agent] SIX: Knight.

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: "Hot Milky"?

[Agent] SIX: a shortening of "Hot Milkmaster".

[cool dude] REX: well, milky wasnt really a shortening of milkmaster in the first place but be my guest

[Agent] SIX: my title, my rules.

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: It's not your title.

[Agent] SIX: you're not complaining about it.

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: I'm huffing right now.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: like, 'hmph'?

[hot milky] WHITE KNIGHT: Hmph. "Hot".

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: HMPH.

[cool dude] REX: anyways we have that sorted why cant i invite noah again

[cool dude] REX: he'll behave (probably)

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: He would be entering a restricted, high-security emergency channel owned by a worldwide paramilitary organization.

[cool dude] REX: yeah what's the problem

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: If you begin inviting your friends, then everyone else will begin inviting their friends. To, I will reiterate, a high-security emergency channel of a worldwide paramilitary organization.

[cool dude] REX: ah. i see

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Good.

[cool dude] REX: it's because you dont have any friends to invite

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: What?

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: No. It's because of the cataclysmic security breach it poses.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Besides. Some of us have a job to do. Right, Six?

[Agent] SIX: I can invite the Numbers.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Exac — no! That's not

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: Holiday?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: ….I'm well-respected in my field, I can call a few close colleagues, some coworkers,

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Who are not friends. Just close colleagues. Sometimes we go see a movie together in our off time and it's 100% about science and it's not friends hanging out

[Captain] CALAN: Is that what you and Rhodes were doing?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: We saw Arrival as a study of possible first contact scenarios.

[Captain] CALAN: What about the second time?

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: Moana. Excellent portrayal of animal-like Exponentially Variegated Organisms, by the way.

[Chief Research Officer] HOLIDAY: (do you think we can get Bobo to sing?)

[cool dude] REX: hes still muted so i will speak for him with a resounding yes. get him to sing please

[Special Agent] HAHA has been unmuted.

[cool dude] REX: wuh-oh

[Special Agent] HAHA has been muted for 30 minutes. Reason: let me have this one i'll get you a taco later

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: … Captain Calan?

[Captain] CALAN: Don't know why I got the title treatment but I do have good rapport with my team.

[Captain] CALAN: And much of the Keep's crew.

[Captain] CALAN: And, thinking about it, a majority of the people stationed in Headquarters.

[Captain] CALAN has been muted for 1 minute. Reason: We understand.

[cool dude] REX: i dont. let him speak! free him!

[Special Agent] SIX: further clarification is needed.

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: …

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: It's just

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT: …...

[Director] WHITE KNIGHT had disconnected from {Providence Emergency Channel}.

[cool dude] REX: uh

[cool dude] REX: hmm

[Agent] SIX: I'll go talk to him.

[cool dude] REX: right, you do that, meanwhile

[cool dude] REX has changed the channel name to {party central}.

[cool dude] REX: NO GODS, NO MASTERS
