nobody wants the midgecams to change their minds

[thornsofmalkav]

Okay. Okay, fuck. I've had some weird conversations and I'm pretty sure they're ones I need to fill you guys in on, because... well, I'm spooked.

So the first thing happened with Daneel or rather not-Daneel, because he's Infiltrating and he doesn't have a name yet. And he's a Seer, right? He's got the knowledge of making water wheels in his noggin. But he's got other stuff in his head too. Like a drawing of God's Isle and these symbols he doesn't understand--he drew them for me and they looked a whole fucking lot like letters, numbers, and typographical symbols--and, like, being in sticky water and someone telling him to remember.

That would be freaky enough, but then the shit with not-Jackie happened.

So you know the strange creature, the actual mythical human? He says he remembers me--that is, me-as-Thorn-the-weaver--and he called me 'Char' and said I already had a kid? He's a little confused--sunstroke will do that to you--but I don't think he's lying. I think he's involved with this. Somehow.

So, like, I dunno but I think maybe it would be a really good idea to, like, pool information about people who might be... fuck, I don't know? Significant to something being rotten in the state of Home? Because it's not like we can round up every single person and march them to the latrines to be interrogated--it'll take too long and there's always a chance that the midgecams will change their mind about not wanting to see us shit--but if we can at least narrow it down to a couple people, maybe we can focus our detective work. Or something.

Gil's overlay knows something, I think he has a memory of before arriving on the God's Isle or he knows something because his behaviour does not make sense otherwise.

...I could deploy Justice's Aura if we think that is needed.

You know what's fun about alcohol? People talk. Sometimes more than they mean to.

[Rather than try to recount Kai and Branch's conversation, Naoki shares the memory of it.]

Circe needs to be watched, as subtly as possible until we can figure out what she's up to and how to remove her from the equation. Anything drastic will probably just get us all killed. I suspect Branch is losing his patience with his apparently-assigned role in all this, and will make a good ally once we have a plan.

I'm not above de-infiltrating Anafiel-san if we think we need a Traveler ally on the inside, but that should probably be a last resort. I didn't want to put him on the spot with those damned camera everywhere, but it sounds like he's already got a role within a role. [Not that he thinks Delaunay couldn't juggle it, but... well.]

That Acantha guy knows stuff. Hang on, let me play it...

[Give him a second... and then he plays a memory for the network.]
