"... one, I haven't the -faintest- idea what a Dongle is..." He said arching an eyebrow but he did pause to consider.
"...Do you think we could make it so that the... I mean you can get spare batteries right? We could just pop in and out with charged ones... that way the computer would never need to be removed from safety." His thoughts were already charging ahead far too fast at the idea of 'spare laptop'.
Hell if they had that... no more thumb tacks, no more hand written submissions that he had to worry about for legibility, they could make a form that was almost dummy proof using Excel.
He coughed and reigned himself back in. "I mean... if you really aren't doing anything with it."

"Well, a dongle is like... Think of it as a key. Without this key, you can't log in." There were ways, of course, to bypass this. Nothing was truly, completely flawless - but it wasn't exactly knowledge that everyone had. So it was good enough for the purposes Alunite had in mind.
"It's not really that simple." He pondered out loud with a small hum, setting his cup down. "Switching a laptop battery is a bit of a careful work, it's easy for it to go wrong if people don't know what they're doing." And with how much teleporting had just kicked his a** ? He couldn't do this daily.
"But I could keep a backup ? Just in case. Print out like.. sheets for everyone and leave space for others to add info ? 'Cause looking at this im... not too sure where to even start reading through."
Tact - Alunite didn't have it in spades.

"Start with Castor and work clockwise outward from there..." Zink said a touch dryly. He did drum his fingers though looking less satisfied.
"...ugh... there has to be some way to make this more fool proof." He sighed. "Printed sheets might leave here, people leave them places and that's -dangerous'."
He shook his head. "If they found even ONE person and learned both sides of their identity, a really clever person might be able to unravel a great deal MORE just from people that they associate with."
He sighed.

Finally, Alunite rose back on his feet - mostly to get a better look at the board, making sure to take his cup along with it.
"Well, this can't leave this place, right ?" He gestured at the board. "Do the same thing with the printouts." He didn't see how a computer printout was any more dangerous than hand-written notes if they left subspace.
Through the point was probably accessibility... "I don't know if there's an easy way to make things accessible outside of here. How often are lieutenants brought in here ? I never knew this existed. I don't think Fluorite does, either."

He sighed... "I want a way to ... I don't think all lieutenants constantly report to any one captain but for a few... My team for one, but soon they will be captains, hopefully they will be taking this information and sharing with their teams as needed."
He stood carefully and followed waving a hand to indicate the progression of notices and showed how the most dangerous were flagged with red borders.
"If someone took a note at least I'd know... print outs can be copies though, harder to track but... I want... I wish there was a way they could look it up on the fly. I doubt we shall EVER be -that- lucky though." He sighed.

"Probably not." He sighed, and shook his head. "We'll just need to do without." There had to be some way... right ?
Hmmm... Through really, what say did he even have in this ? He wasn't.. Well. Alunite sighed. Once again, his differences from a 'normal' agent were evident in his mind.

Zink frowned at the passing look. It was likely just because his half sister was a Senshi but he saw no shame in asking for good ideas regardless of the source.
"Perhaps... you would like to help me figure out this conundrum." He said and took a sip of tea. "hmm... I do have some more notes to turn from short hand to long as well...perhaps we could at the least start by making printed copies of my notes rather than hand written.... I have a printer at the dormitories but... better to split up the sources don't you think?"

The offer seemed to surprise him, but he nodded. "Better to split up an leave the least tracks as possible, I agree... Maybe even have someone nearby powered up and watching for auras for good measure... ?"
Just because you were paranoid didn't mean they were out to get you, after all.

"I think your powers would be invaluable for it too, You'll be stronger magically soon enough...and you are after all...apparently quick on ideas, we could always use more of those." He nodded and waved a hand towards the board. "I think...we could trust Queen's Gambit or... perhaps my ...little project to help us with that...don't you think?"

"Well, it doesn't make us invisible to civilians..." He knew. He had tried. And oh, if only it had been the case ! The thing he could have done...
Things like, you know, not getting assulted by crazy a** bitches that threw blood needles at you.
"Through right now, I'd honestly much rather find the nearest soft surface and crash on it. No offense." The general probably understood... he hoped.

Zinkenite nodded and than placed a tentative hand on his shoulder. "Tell me where we're going...and I'll drop you off. We can continue this discussion another time if you're interested."
He gave a small nod as though that decided it, and as though the 'offer for a ride' had already been accepted.

Where were they going, indeed. He couldn't give the exact location of his apartment - what if Sebastian was home and... Well, bad idea all around for the two of them to just teleport right in his roommate's face, really.
So he ended up giving a nearby location instead, and with a ripple, the two were gone.
