[jaunt] [mid-week 2 or so] More perspective-reading for... definitely not fun and profit

[razorblade_empress]

So... about 'David Texxant' or whoever the hell he is here. I did a perspective-read on the guy a little while ago and found out a couple of things:

One, he's telepathic. I know there are some of you who can telepathically poke at Infiltrators, but it's not a good idea here. The only reason I didn't get caught was because I was using Questing Country Magic Bullshit instead of actual network skills.

Two, whatever language he's thinking in is definitely not anything from Earth.

He was genuinely curious about me when we were talking, but it was from a much more analytical place than he was pretending. And the genuine worry he had about the damage to his mech was a distraction from something much darker that I couldn't get a read on. And that bright and happy-go-lucky exterior is definitely for show.

So yeah, I'm thinking spy.

Yeah, same.

If AEGISCorp and the ESDF are doing even half the bad shit we've been theorizing about, we're probably going to need help from people on their side to keep things from spiraling once that starts coming out. Because even if the "bioweapon" thing was an accident, that shit wouldn't be.

I don’t know how that’s going to work. The two guys at the top military-wise are both out for blood; there’s the self-destruct guy and this guy giving me this colonizer speech about how we’re going to subdivide your territory if we win. The princess is reputedly the most level headed of the bunch but if they really do have her wife...

...Fucking hell.

Gil’s overlay has an in with the general, I think, but I’m not sure that’s enough.

[razorblade_empress]

We know anyone that's got an in with the princess?

[desperate_times_right]

She’s always covered in bodyguards so I doubt it, but I’ll ask around.

Thanks.

God, what a fucking mess.
