 ====== Terminals ====== ====== Terminals ======
-The **terminals** are 1980s era text-only computers used throughout [[organizations#emtanon|Emtanon]]. Two of them may only be viewed via [[agent_systems#as32|AS32]], while others may be remotely controlled by players via the [[https://emtanon.com/portal/|Emtanon portal]].+**Terminals** are 1980s era text-only computers used throughout [[organizations#Emtanon]]. They appear in two aspects: 
 + 
 +  * Monitoring [[#in-universe terminals]] to gain insight into the organization 
 +  * Interacting with the universe via remotely accessible terminals on the [[https://emtanon.com/portal/|Emtanon portal]] 
 + 
 +===== In-universe terminals ===== 
 +These terminals are distinguished by unique display colors. All of them are used mainly for [[#iris]].

 +This terminal is located at the Pacific command in Hilo, Hawaii.
  
-A terminal located in Hilo, Hawaii and used by [[characters#maria_peters|Maria]]. Access to this terminal was made available in December 2023 via the [[https://emtanon.com/portal/|Emtanon portal]]. As of mid-December this terminal is not fully functional and only contains basic programs and Maria's ASCII art. +It played a key role in [[:events:Operation Spice]] and [[events:FACILITY Redemption]], in both of which we impersonated the Pacific commandLater, after receiving strange iris messages, we deemed this terminal compromised. On February 21, 2024, it was taken offline by [[characters#AIR1]] and [[characters#MO5]] to hide evidence of our usage. The terminal was restored on June 7, 2024.
