By examining digital evidence across multiple platforms, I've developed a 78% effective method of predicting criminal behavior patterns.
L
This livestream experiment is to determine if collective observation can increase that percentage.
Meifon
L, you've been explaining your methodology for twenty minutes to literally twelve people.
Meifon
I agreed to this collab stream because you said we'd get actual viewers.
Fran
The stream quality will improve with this modified webcam! I've enhanced it with parts from my lab!
Fran
It might pick up spectral entities now too - a happy accident from my last experiment!
L
(Twelve viewers is actually three more than I expected. The experiment is proceeding within acceptable parameters.)
L
If the next four viewers ask relevant questions, we can move to phase two of the investigation.
Meifon
Wait, something's happening. My phone is blowing up with stream notifications.
Meifon
L, I think someone big just shared your stream!
Fran
Look at the counter! Five thousand... twenty thousand... it's still going up!
Fran
We're being hosted by ALL the major channels simultaneously! This is statistically improbable!
Ryuk
(Humans and their technology. So entertaining. Wonder what happens if I join their little show?)
L
The viewer count has increased by 8000% in 47 seconds. That exceeds all statistical models.
L
As I was saying about the pattern recognition algorithm for identifying suspects—
Ryuk
(Let's see what happens if I show up in their little broadcast. The camera can see me even if they can't.)
Meifon
Everyone's freaking out in the chat! They're saying there's some kind of demon behind us?
Meifon
What are they talking about? The chat's moving too fast to read!
Fran
Look at the stream preview! My modified camera is picking up something extraordinary!
Fran
It's a spectral entity with approximately 14 points of articulation and a skeletal-avian morphology!
L
Ryuk! You're visible on the stream!
L
(Two million viewers and counting. This could either destroy my investigation or exponentially amplify it.)
Ryuk
Surprise! Looks like I'm internet famous now. What do they call it? Going viral?
Ryuk
This is the most fun I've had in the human realm since I dropped that notebook!
Meifon
We've got five million viewers seeing a literal death god on our stream!
Meifon
L, we need damage control NOW before this turns into an international incident!
