There are a lot of things I can say here. I can chastise all of us for how discussions went before. But that's not important. People are in danger, and they're people who have helped us. I haven't made it a secret that I think Morningstar doesn't deserve devotion from us. The thing is, there's a difference between devotion and helping out someone who's helped you. It's time for us to do the latter. My issues don't mean anything. We know Morningstar can do good work.

So, let's talk. Let's plan. We should all do it in the same place.

I want to lay some ground rules.

1. Even if we've been asked to use the weapons only to stun any assailants, a number of us know it's not that simple. So, let's skip the morality talk about whether or not that's okay. Sorry, Gaby. I actually trust most people won't go in guns blazing. [She actually wouldn't if there weren't "civilians" involved. She's still not sure she does now, but that's unimportant. White lies have a place here.] Self-defense is a thing. Let's all trust one another.

2. I have a lot of questions about this. We all do. But we have a limited time to pull this off. Let's try to focus on what we can do and then figure out the rest later. If you think you can get answers now that can help us? Bring it forward. Make a new reply to draw eyes to it.

3. I figure we have two separate directions we can go, but we need all hands on deck. If you're not comfortable handling a gun, take the address for the safehouses and get them set up.

4. Nothing "funny" about these rules. Which means the first thing you're all going to say is ... about my rules. Get it out of your system.

[There is a lot more to say, a lot more to add, but Clarke knows that it likely isn't her place to talk about it. Plus, some of these people are adults, even if they don't act like it. Maybe they won't make a joke about her rules.

... But she bets they will.]

edit: Daisy set up a useful map for everyone. Keep it updated as best as you can.

[ooc: this is the previously discussed and set up IC planning post for the event! Clarke won't be replying to everyone.]

This isn't a matter of my heart.

[It's hard for Achilles to tell, but he hit a nerve. Her jaw sets.]

You asked me about agents versus weapons. Weapons we don't know exist. What if you get in there, aiming for the weapons, ready to throw away lives, and there aren't any there at all? You're making a decision that could be costly on both fronts.

What we do know is that there are people inside who have been lured there unknowingly. This is a logistical fact.

As for weapons, we can get more weapons. We are weapons ourselves because of the powers we've been granted, powers we've only begun to tap into while we're here. Many of us come from worlds with things just as advanced as this one, and capable of building things that can help us hold our own.

You go with the known fact. Save the agents. Odds are, if you prioritize them, they can help you get any weapons if they do exist. That adds more numbers to your lineup.

Put them first, and everything will become easier.

You're so quick to argue without listening first. This is why I find it a nuisance to talk through writing. [ She'd never get the chance to lecture him in perso. ]

When we're there we'll see for ourselves if there are weapons. If these agents think these weapons are worth risking their lives for, don't you think that means they could potentially tip the scales in this war?

These men and women likely know better than we do.

It's worth thinking about it.

Read the actual words I said. I gave you a plan to work with those agents to get the weapons. Use it, rather than telling me about how weapons can help us.
