[Not even a half-hour after Webmind’s announcement ends, all the ICPs up and down the train start getting spammed with text messages. Sorry folks, but from what she’s gathered from past messages SXT-2 assumes you’re just allowed to tell the world every time you want to dump an ice bucket on your head. The above flashes on all the cabins, though there are some minor bugs- in one or two cabins maybe a font doesn’t show up properly, or there’s that hated [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('< font=helvetica12px >') in entry] message.

Ten minutes later, SXT-2 starts testing messaging to specific ICPs. That’s even more spam. Whoof.]


Please let me know the location of your ICP device and the title of the sample paragraph below:

[Lacking a huge variety of documents with which to lift placeholder text from- that aren’t NDA’d at least- SXT-2 is resorting to newspaper clippings from her memory bank. Each carriage gets a unique message, detailed below:]
