 ====== 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]].

-**Agent code: ''3''**

-Located in room 101 of the Emtanon HQ, this terminal is owned by [[characters#esprit_boursicot|Esprit]] who uses it mainly for chatting. This is the only terminal that runs on full privileges; it has commands and programs not available elsewhere.
+Before January 2026, [[agent_systems#AS32]] provided [[wp>Slow-scan_television|SSTV]] of this terminal by dialing ''3#''.

+This terminal is located at the Pacific command in Hilo, Hawaii.
+It played a key role in [[:events:Operation Spice]] and [[events:FACILITY Redemption]], in both of which we impersonated the Pacific command. Later, 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.

+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column>
+A terminal which allows to access and modify //semaphores//, which contain data and allow to control aspects of Emtanon's systems - such as remote control and scuttling of ships.
+Many semaphores are password-protected, and we are able to access only a small portion of the system.
+Semaphores can be modified by using the ''poke <offset> <value>'' command.

+Terminal providing access to an Emtanon system called OVAL. This terminal is unique in that it has a rudimentary GUI and responds to mouse inputs. Credentials that allow remote access to this terminal were discovered in an NFC tag within the [[dead_drops:wailua_drop|Wailua drop]].
+As of March 2026, OVAL includes mainly clones of popular games. It also contains a terminal app that can dial telemetry using the [[wp>Hayes AT command set]].
