Carters Odd Encounter Sr Sienna
Amidst the worn backdrop of Badwater Quay, Autumn and Carter find themselves wrapped up in a digital dilemma. The MyHaven app, compromised by a malicious entity known as Mind's Calm, necessitates a cunning response. In a bid to thwart the cyber threat, the Order Librarian suggests a straightforward but potentially effective plan: uninstalling MyHaven, reporting the issue to the developers, and reinstalling a fresh, untainted version. United in purpose, Carter and Autumn accept the challenge, with Carter unleashing a cheeky bot campaign to spread the vital message to users, while Autumn exemplifies the proactive approach by uninstalling her own version of the app.
As their plan springs into action, the response is as diverse as Haven's population. Skepticism mingles with gratitude across social media, but the message, propelled by Carter's humorously named bots and Autumn's earnest endeavors, resonates with the young and tech-savvy. Screenshots of the uninstallation process invade group chats and stories, igniting a wildfire of compliance. The collective effort leads to a significant descent in MyHaven's online traffic, marking a tentative victory in an unseen war led by a librarian, a humorist, and the people of Haven.

[Mon Jan 1 2024]
On Badwater Quay
Cracked and pothole-ridden asphalt roads make up this part of town,
bordered on either side by poorly maintained cracked sidewalks. The
aluminum streetlights are painted a deep, chipped green and appear regularly
along the side, illuminating the street in spots of warm electric light when
it's dark. Where the street is widest small median islands appear with old
twisted trees planted in them. The buildings that line the street seem old
and poorly taken care of.
It is night, about 26F(-3C) degrees, and there are a few dark grey stormclouds in the sky. There is a waning gibbous moon.
"Well you won't know unless you've tried it," the Librarian quips in good humor. There's a moment of silence on the lines before his voice returns, pensive. "But since the Mind's Calm is hijacking MyHaven's firmware, then we should probably consider that uninstalling the app and doing a fresh install directly from MyHaven's developers might be enough. Also report it since the illegal modifications to the app does violate the terms of service for both the Apple and Google Play stores. Whichever route you all want to try, let me know."
"Okay." Nodding her head, Autumn turns to look at Carter. "I think reporting to developers about the app can also lead to developers also uninstalling app for fresh install," she tells him. "Hitting two birds with one stone, perhaps."
Carter gives a single nod, his gaze drifting to Autumn. "Mm. Alright, then.", he decides. "Definitely a good course of action; from there, we'll see where that takes us." he chimes.
The Order Librarian's voice comes back over the comms with an approving tone. "That sounds like a solid plan, Autumn, Carter. Reporting the app for violations is a smart move. It puts the developers on notice and could lead to them taking direct action, which could disrupt whatever Mind's Calm is trying to do. The uninstall and reinstall strategy might just shake things up enough to give us an edge."
There's a click of a keyboard in the background. "I'll start compiling a report from our end too, detailing the anomalies and potential security risks. It'll add weight to your report. Meanwhile, get the word out about the uninstall-reinstall process. We need as many users as possible on board with this."
He pauses briefly, then adds, "Keep an eye on the app's behavior post-reinstall. It'll give us a good idea if this approach is working. And stay alert. Whoever is behind this might not take kindly to interference. We need to be ready for any backlash or escalation. Good luck, and keep me posted on your progress."
"Any backlash or escalation would probably be met with Tomas Inigo blowing a gasket.", Carter dryly mumbles - not directed towards anyone in particular, though he's already unfolding his phone, clicking out his S-Pen as he taps it to his chin in contemplation, before drawing up a simple enough guide on the reinstallation process - For Android devices, go to settings, search for app, yada yada... before he's considering how to reach the most people. After a moment, he decides on... Botting. Cheeky Carter. In spite of not being especially familiar with social networks, he seems to grasp at least that it'd be a decently broad-spanning method of reaching people. A simple notice of the current situation and fix method paired with a potential implementation strategy for delivering this information to people is promptly forwarded to the Librarians for further review.
"Got it," Autumn replies to the Librarian. Turning her attention to her phone, she opens the MyHaven app and begins to type. 'Users of MyHaven,' she texts. 'Please uninstall the app as there are reports of bugs and risks security. Developers will fix the app so wait 5 to 10 minutes before reinstalling.' Once she finishes typing, Autumn then proceeds to uninstall the app on her phone.
The Order Librarian's voice crackles back on the line, a hint of amusement in his tone at Carter's remark about the hot-headed Inigo. "Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that. But Carter, your idea about using bots for broader outreach is clever. We need to hit as many users as we can, and fast. I'll get the team to look over your implementation strategy and get it rolling."
As Autumn sends out her message and uninstalls the app, the Librarian adds, "Good job, Autumn. It's important to lead by example. Now, we need to monitor the situation closely. Once you've reinstalled the app, let us know if you notice any changes or if the issues persist. We'll be doing the same from our end."
The response to Carter and Autumn's effort to spread the word about uninstalling the MyHaven app is swift and varied across Haven. Users, alerted by the bot-generated messages and Autumn's direct appeal, begin to engage with the warning in different ways.
On social media platforms, a buzz starts to form around the MyHaven app. Some users express skepticism, questioning the sudden call for uninstallation, while others quickly comply, sharing their own experiences of odd app behavior and expressing gratitude for the heads-up.
Carter seems to have quite a bit of fun with the planned arrangement of said bots; included with his implementation plans are suggested naming schemes for his million-byte army. After all, who wouldn't love to receive a detailed schema on reinstalling an app unsolicitedly from 'OrderofOperations3234' or 'OrderUp69420' or perhaps even 'OrDerves2005'?
Among the younger demographic, particularly college students and high schoolers who heavily rely on MyHaven for social connections, the message spreads rapidly. Group chats and social media stories are flooded with screenshots of the uninstallation process, accompanied by various reactions ranging from humor to concern.
As the uninstallation movement gains momentum, a noticeable dip in online activity within the MyHaven app becomes apparent.
