psychic bridge II (main jaunt --> humans)

[leftbehindagain]

I think we can all agree everything this jaunt chooses to be sucks, yes?

This is Naoki. I'd have checked in sooner, but I'm half-infiltrating, we didn't have reason to think there was a network divide until just now, and it's... already been a very busy week.

So. We know the midges are cameras, we know there are at least a few actors among us - it's far from everyone, but I think we've pinpointed at least two - we know everyone was delivered here from space after unknown time spent in a lab, and we know this is Earth. If anyone remembers whether Karachi is India or Pakistan, that's apparently roughly where we are, going off stuff someone found underwater. We have about twenty minutes to compare notes and start working on a plan.

(OOC: Up to fourteen Beastfolk-side investigators can join in on this discussion!)

It wouldn't surprise me.

It also wouldn't surprise me if it weren't somewhere easily accessed--why leave dangerous toys out where your victims could find them?

[There's a sigh.]

I didn't get much chance to poke around on the island where we all arrived. There could be another, similar island with more tech nearby, or it could just be there somewhere. It's very frustrating, really.

I wonder how much the terraforming's being held back because it's actually not up to the level it needs to be or because it's being purposely held back that way. I mean, if Swift's got a goddamned safari running...

But yeah, they've probably made their tech harder to access, if for no other reason than to keep the people they've brainwashed and sent down from accidentally finding it.

[carbonatedscientist]

If they're underestimating us, we at least have that advantage. We've just got to leverage it properly.

We may also be able to play Swift against them, somehow...but that would be more from your end of things, I'd assume. At least at this point.

I'm planning to do some digging into Swift to see what I can find out about them. I'd like to hope they're at least not as bad as Orwell, but even if we take Orwell out we'd still need to find a way to safeguard the Mythics, because I'm not sure how much Swift would care about them when all's said and done - not when the show belongs to Orwell.

[The show, and possibly the Mythics as well. Yukino certainly wouldn't be surprised if that was in the fine print somewhere, assuming they bothered with fine print.]

[carbonatedscientist]

Corporations...I'd almost rather deal with a singular evil individual hellbent on widespread destruction. At least that's more straightforward.

[razorblade_empress]

Honestly? Same.
