You might be a maven of all things sociocultural and linguistic, but your friend CV is a lot more accomplished on the technical side of things. You figure if any of your acquaintances know how to remote control someone's computer, it would be em.

AA: Hey!
AA: I have a kind of urgent question about computer stuff
AA: It's related to the game we're playing today
CV: Are you having trouble installing it?
AA: No, I haven't gotten an invite yet
AA: In fact I might not get one if I can't figure this out
AA: Ku's AFK for an unknown amount of time but our other player already invited him to be their server, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get into his computer from here
CV: Well, before you invade our friend's privacy, have you considered the option of waiting until he gets back from wherever he is? If all else fails I'm willing to invite you, even though Kuviu wanted to do it in a different order.
AA: }:( Am I the only one who believed him about the meteors?
CV: I would guess so. Modern computer science has yet to discover how to physically manifest space debris, as far as I know.
CV: For the record, I don't think he said it to deceive us, I think he's just a little fanciful.
AA: It's not like we don't have empirical documentation of mystical occurrences, dream realms are provably real
CV: Say that I accept that dream realms are real, although I haven't personally seen or read about any evidence firsthand.
AA: Is everyone from Feynmark like this...
CV: Hush.
CV: Even if you have documentation of one mystical phenomenon, it doesn't have any bearing on unrelated mystical phenomena such as--I'd like to restate this for the record--computer games producing physical objects from a distance of thousands of kilometers.
AA: OK I don't have time to argue with you on this!!
AA: I'm making what you could call a Haskal's Wager that if I treat this seriously and it turns out to be fake there's no harm done, but if I don't take it seriously someone could die
AA: So if you have any advice on how to remote control a computer I'd appreciate it
CV: Well, I don't think you can live your whole life accepting every premise as a possibility worth acting on, but my advice is this:
CV: There exist programs that you can open on two computers simultaneously that allow one to remotely control the other, but the client computer has to open the program first.
AA: Ugh
AA: So my quest continues
AA: I really hope you don't have to eat your words
CV: Happy to help. If helping is indeed what I've done here.
CV: When did you want to play URWORLD with me, by the way?
AA: Probably in a couple hours or so? I can't start until Ku sends me an invite
AA: I'll let you know
CV: All right. See you soon.
AA: See you
