hey, guys! prompto here lol

i know there's a lot of information to go through after everything that happened. can you believe it's just been ten days since the UNA soldiers? sure feels like longer! that and we got some newcomers literally in the middle of NAEXPO which i think is the nicer of scenarios. (omgs speaking of is anyone else cosplaying? i don't think i've slept the past day, it's been a lot of fun!! if anyone's here or thinking of coming Hit Me UP there's so much to do.)

consider this your C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER for serious posts

mostly i just wanted to say that i got my camera back from home! and the best part is? the SD card was INTACT. all you earth dwellers be making faces at how ~weird~ the fauna is like in eos, but now i can finally show it to you. that and the adventures me and my friends had while we took a roadtrip out of the city and into the great unknown!

i've made a happy slideshow for you guys to check HERE. i've captioned everything too heh

you know
photography
just a lil hobby of mine no big deal

not that i think i could use it here without people getting all alarmed on my ass for it 😔📸

ADDITIONALLY

i know we're trying to set up something more comprehensive like a guide of sorts for what we know, and there's a couple of great people pushing towards meeting at least once a month to touch base. i think we're going for birthday celebrations as our incognito excuse? help me fill out this calendar with your birthdays. it's not gonna be a real party if you don't want it to be, and some of you don't actually have birthdays? whaaaaaaat... but like, what does your ID say? share your life story with me, etc. or don't lol

anyway plz look at my pix and have a look at what CHOCOBOS are! i miss having chocobos

The same testing. Don't forget that I'm the one who first sent off the samples. The lab tech couldn't identify a source. Is that Patil? [At the time, they were nameless for Clarke. They're still nameless, though she knows that Fitz likely identified her specifically the night of the attacks. Clarke doesn't bother to look back right now.]

If that's where she's been testing, then we know that whatever the drug is, it isn't on a known market. That points to actions done on the sly. I think any of the systems she'd use would be able to find the compound that was identified. I wanted to look at corporate because that's how it was done back in the day. Everything we had on the Ark growing up had a label on it. Just ... all of it was rationed. I never knew what the labels meant beyond that they were for brands that were long gone. And I never learned much about capitalism because our society was inherently trade-based. Rationed all the way down.

I'm explaining this because I'm afraid I missed something. Perhaps in writing it off as corporate because Patil's labs are good enough is the wrong way to look at it? Tell me if I am missing something.

Do we have a reason to believe the VP wasn't infected? Do you think they faked it?

I haven't forgotten, Clarke, and I hope that none of the first wave has. I only meant to ask if anything more had come of it.

[ clarifying her work up to this point, not doubting her (fitz doesn't do that; even when they disagree, she articulates her reasons, and he respects her for it). he just wants to be sure he hasn't missed anything, either. ]

And Patil was our chief lab contact, yes, though several others helped. She didn't have her own facilities, as far as I'm aware, however. It seems like most Morningstar techs use their day jobs to test samples. Or they did, before the raids. Regardless, you're right about the findings. As I said, I'm with you on corporate facilities being the most likely source, with expert work done there on the sly.

[ they're on the same page, he thinks, but he wouldn't want anyone reading along to think they have definitive evidence when they don't — yet. ]

Not surprising that something like this would be kept off the known market, is it? When it's so bloody horrifying.

As for the VP, I think they were infected, but that the infection itself enhances genuine emotions, however small or insignificant they are without the virus' interference. [ hurt, as in the case of Daisy; pissed off, like his coworker; or paranoid, in this potential suspect. ] That's based on my own anecdotal experiences with the affected, of course.

[ he's not convinced of the subsidiary's involvement, either, but he's not one to leave a stone unturned. ]

Unfortunately not much more. I haven't known how to follow that lead more, but knowing that this is common and possible, that means that any records may be deleted. But you're right in thinking they might slip up. If they have before.

We have to think about the scale, though. If they can erase and scrub identities, why would they need to work off to the side in a lab? That's assuming that we're a side project.

Can we be?
