Terminals
The terminals are 1980s era text-only computers used throughout Emtanon. Two of them may only be viewed via AS32, while others may be remotely controlled by players via the Emtanon portal.
Examples
Green terminal
Agent code: 3
Located in room 101 of the Emtanon HQ, this terminal is owned by 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.
Amber terminal
Agent code: 10
Located in room 104 of the Emtanon HQ, this is an auxiliary terminal intended for visitors to the HQ.
This terminal may also be remotely controlled via the Emtanon portal. Judging by their reactions to signs of remote use, the HQ employees are unaware of this access.
Red terminal
Agent code: 11
A portable terminal in possession of Dr. J Marvin Blackweather, used by him while traveling. As we found out in message 18349, J specifically requested the red color because he considered the default green “stupid”.
Aqua terminal
This terminal is located at the Pacific command in Hilo, Hawaii. During Maria's absence from her post, we have been using it to impersonate the command and give orders to assets in the region. This terminal has been used to orchestrate the trade of MO3 to the cartel, and freeing of FACILITY captives. After receiving strange iris messages, we deemed this terminal compromised. The terminal was taken offline by the crew of AIR1 and MO5 on Feb 21 2024 in an attempt to hide evidence of our usage.
