so. looks like every two weeks, new people are being dropped off (what are we calling ourselves, by the way? 'displaced'?).

i figure with it being as regular as that and with everything we all have in common and that we're struggling with, it might make sense to prepare some kind of introduction spiel. collect information that everyone who's being dropped off would likely want to know, as far as we have it.

i'm thinking something about the fact that we're all from different worlds and times, the whole multiverse thing. something about the powers. what we've found out so far about the glowing in our chests, from the items that show up to the rage cure.

what else? anything i'm missing?

and to those who're new, any questions you desperately want answered? aside from "who brought us here and how do we get back?" because none of us know the answer to that. wish we did.

oh, and maybe it should include a bit about not murdering people, too...

Hafid and I talked about this some, too. We should roll in a crash course on what it means to be in a place where heavy surveillance is normal. Things like making sure you're not being followed back to the safehouse and yeah murdering people being a really bad idea.

[covertness]

those are good pointers. do you think you and hafid could write up a list? i don't think i'm the best person for the job

[ get it? because she's not a spy? haha... ha.... ha..... ]

@sumio.kodai

[sumio]

Yeah. Can I bum a cigarette?

[covertness]

i don't smoke

[deicider]

Sorry, smoking's against the law in this world.

I think this is a very good idea. Together, we can all help new victims as best we can.

In light of recent events, I don't think revealing too much in the beginning would be wise. Just in case they want nothing to do with Morningstar or plan to divulge anything about us.

[covertness]

[ that is surprisingly smart and nuanced of you, connor. +10 points approval. ]

what would you include and what wouldn't you?

@giovanni.rammsteiner

[ofobedience]

What if the person in question deserves to die, should one still abstain?

[Asking for a friend. Except he doesn't have any...]

@connor.resnik

[cyberlife]

Yes... it's still murder.

[covertness]

yes

[ bobbi's morality is more complicated than katelin's, the civilian she's pretending to be, but it still boils down to that as a baseline ]

@keith.kogane

[secondnature]

What kind of question is this?

@hafid.alghul

[batricide]

People are being hopelessly naive here.
Yes, if you're dealing with a remorseless scumbag then by all means. Do the world a favor.
The justice system is broken regardless of what world you're in. Monsters walk free every day and keep racking up a body count.
You are not "just as bad as they are" for stopping the cycle.

[ did you not learn your lesson yet damian. ]

[evite]

[ after reading this guy's conversations with connor and bobbi, she's ready to roll her eyes into another dimension ... ]

jesus, dude, don't cut yourself on that edge

@hafid.alghul

[batricide]

I can teach basic combat to beginners. This latest incident should prove that it's essential to know how to defend yourself.

[covertness]

write a short bit about the offer and i'll put it in

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

I realize I didn't get the warmest reception before, but I think we do need something in there about medical care.

I'm happy to write it up if needed.

[covertness]

general information about it is definitely a good idea
and maybe it'll meet a warmer reception now

could you? please

@leo.fitz

[retravel]

Good idea.
I like displaced, if we're voting on this.
And I can handle the multiverse spiel.
Maybe @john.jaqobis can explain the tech, if he's available.

[covertness]

so far that's two votes in favor and none against

that would be great
on both counts

@jughead.jones

[drivein]

You mean like a welcome message or something?
I guess "welcome" is kind of pushing it in this context.
Though I'm willing to add something about hamburgers have been replaced with bugs.

Do you remember showing up? I do. It's pretty traumatic. I wonder how many will even believe it.

[ fyi he thinks this is a great idea, but word from a conspiracy theorist. ]

[covertness]

like a welcome message
or more of a
"you've been here a few days now and this is really real and here's what we know so far and some tips we've compiled for you" kind of message
even if it's not the sort of thing everyone will be ready to accept immediately, it's the sort of thing they can come back to later

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

i have some notes on project glowcube
might as well make the tutoring a permanent offer

[covertness]

that would be great
send me some kind of text and i'll include it

@heine.rammsteiner

[whitehair]

it's not murder if it's mercy killing

[covertness]

[ is it a rammsteiner thing? ]

pretty sure you're wrong about that

@takashi.shirogane

[igf]

It might be helpful to have a primer on what the world's like outside the safe house. Facts, but culture too. Things that would make people stand out, things to avoid. And a list of resources that are available to people from Morningstar, the displaced populace, and the world in general.

[covertness]

those are all good points
would you be willing to write up any of all of these sections?

@vanessa.ives

[possidetur]

What is a 'multiverse'?

[covertness]

are you familiar with the term universe?

[ best not to assume too much here ]
