There is absolutely no way this could backfire at all.

Talking about busted ICP terminals,

Seeing one busted is going to trigger An Attempt out of a few reckless, foolhardy intrepid souls bonding together over the idea that if the train won't talk to them, maybe they can trigger a talk with the train!

The plan so far:
(Suspected, still awaiting a confirmation), Tidus busts up an ICP terminal, most likely on Poi Day 24.
Which prompts the idea that if it's a computer, and the train is a computer with a soul, can they connect to the train using a VR headset?
[personal profile] blue_ice will connect his computer to the broken ICP terminal
Connect a VR headset to the computer, with it also monitoring the subject's (Esteban) vital signs
[personal profile] firewalled will be on standby and ready to add his own SQUIP to the connection in case everything goes south, and to provide insight into any progress they make

Esteban is definitely attempting to communicate with the train, rather than doing anything to control it. If it has a voice, and enough of a soul to form its own conclusions, he thinks that it's a being, and is actively attempting to talk to it on semi-equal grounds, hopefully. Maybe negotiate, or reason with it.
