[Empiricist]

<Have you considered that attacks may be remotely targeted at you through the position, or that having a detectable allows hostiles to estimate your movements? On top of that, what if someone to output meaningless signals of the same parameters? It could disrupt communications or cause psychological issues.>

[kj1225]

<No I have not. Because there are much better ways to target attacks. And a detectable what? I doubt that the signals are dectable anyway since they are sent and received faster than anything that is on the market as of now. Because it is literally instant. And to be able to do that they would have to exactly emulate one of us to do it and not immediately be shut out. And let's say that somehow they did emulate one of us. The one they are emulating would be able to tell someone and then we would shut them out.>

[Empiricist]

<You seem to be making an awfully large amount of assumptions. What leads you to believe that it is instant?>

[kj1225]

<The fact that Selina made it with that as one of the stated qualities. Even if it isn't instant then it is so close that unless we get something to measure just how fast it is we won't know the difference.>

[Empiricist]

<...Can't we say the same for photons which travel at the highest possible speed (and yes, that includes magical means, @Elf doesn't exactly want to simulate the effects of superluminal travel or the hypothetical properties of tachyons)? Signals sent via electromagnetic radiation can be intercepted. I doubt speed has much to do with protecting it from interception.>

[GreatWyrmGold]

<I'm surprised that I have to remind you that there are Twilight parts in these bracelets, keeping them from my void magic. And besides, I'm currently not using void magic, so that argument is invalid if anything.>

<One: It's pure Creation magic, since it's Selina's creation through-and-through. Two: You don't screw up the bracelet when you teleport and the bracelet doesn't screw up your teleports. Three: There are many other examples, but I was thinking that the one closest to home would be the hardest to dispute.>

<Also, wouldn't there be to much background activity to pinpoint us exactly? We aren't really unique you know.>

<As far as we know, the bracelets are. Selina's magic seems to be very rare, and given the sheer number of options available to such an ability for communicative purposes, it's unlikely anyone else stumbled on the exact same method as we did.>

<Easier to intercept a slow message than a fast one. Not impossible to intercept a fast one.>

[Empiricist]

<Far from impossible to be incrementally more precise. Especially not with supernatural assistance. I would suspect that Grandiose found and targeted me using bracelet data seeing as he knew I had magic, something which I kept hidden and knew of my connection along with my knowledge of the preceding incidents.>

[GreatWyrmGold]

<You'll notice that I said it was not impossible to intercept a fast signal.>

[Empiricist]

<Hence why I designated what I said as a slightly more specific variant of thus.>

[kj1225]

<Cyrielle... he's a fucking magical being. He could probably smell the magic on you. You're telling me that you added something that is pretty much useless for anything because you were paranoid?>

[GreatWyrmGold]

<Yes, because Grandiose was the only magical being which could ever be our enemy. Kyle...do you ever think before you speak?>

[kj1225]

<Yes.>

[Empiricist]

<...You realize I also pointed out that he knew that I was in contact with you all, knew of the incident and had a reason to go o your location, correct? Detecting magic is one matter, finding out that information is another.>

[kj1225]

<What incident?>

[Empiricist]

<He knew I had heard of him attacking Selina and yourself earlier. He knew I had a reason to be in Australia. He knew I was connected to you all. Before you try arguing he may have known that by observing me, if that was the case, he would have also known that I would therefore NOT come to Australia. As he evidently did not, that possibility is already ruled out.>
