Malik Greatly Dissaproves: Open

[It's a few hours after everyone's been dumped in to liminal space that Malik speaks up over the network and he is about as disgruntled as anyone without a special skill to get it across better can sound.]

For those of you who were not privy to the fiasco some of the rest of us created on ourselves, let me recap and give some advice that I pray to god you all listen to this time.

I am going to be blunt here; we, as Travellers, were compromised by a number of people in a variety of different ways with rather unfortunate repercussions. We are lucky this did not get us hunted down in the streets and captured. They know we do not stay dead, they know we have powers beyond that of average humans.

Whatever you lot did before? People remembered.

They hate us, are afraid of us, and people who are afraid of other people do unspeakable things to whomever they can get their hands on. Especially when we do things like help blow up their city and go on thievery sprees or are terrible at lying while gathering information from people.

The safest way to not get caught is to not draw attention to yourself to begin with.

This would have been difficult enough to deal with had other people not also gone and both knowingly and unknowingly spread information about us as individuals as well. They have names, they have information about us and what we can do.

By doing so people were put in direct personal danger as a result. Not some vague menace of the displeasure of those who dragged us here but actual physical danger of permanent injury. Difficult decisions had to be made in that instance and it was a small part luck and a degree of experience that kept it from turning in to a bloodbath.

If you are unfortunate enough to get caught do not compromise the Travellers. We have this network, there will be others who can help you get out as safely as possible. So long as I am myself, I am one of them.

We are a team despite an apparent inability to function cohesively, and we are only effective when we do not go gallivanting off on our own individual nonsense and drag others along for the ride.

My apologies. I thought it best to be aware of all the angles. More test scenarios for students might be devised if more consequences are offered. But your point is of course well-taken. Perhaps if the story might be constructed, we might better understand what it is we might do next time in order to support one another and succeed.

Step one: don't tell people you're from another world. Step two: split up responsibilities. Step three: actually share what you get done. That'd be a good start.
