here's what i don't get

someone leaked the names and locations of those agents. that i get, people are corruptible. might be a problem for us at some point, if it's still a thing, but it's not weird.

what is weird is that the soldiers didn't knock on gaby's door and didn't plan for us at all. seems like a pretty big tactical fuck-up to me, unless they didn't know about our existence, but again. leak.

so, anyone got an explanation for that? hells, i'd take guesses, too.

( ooc » feel free to use this as a discussion post for the event wrap up, if so inclined! )

so the intel was outdated and we're not important enough, that's your take?

[ fair enough ]

but the weapons cache was definitely a trap

[cheffeur]

No to the first, yes to the second. There's no reason to believe that their intel was outdated, simply that what they had access to was a higher priority to Morningstar. Why would Morningstar have bothered to keep any information regarding us in the same place as their plans to acquire the UNA's weaponry?

It was, yes. Morningstar is a rebellious faction, and the government in this world seeks to shut it down. So of course they laid a trap given the information they had.

there were a couple agents who wouldn't have gotten a wake-up call if not for us
newer ones

yeah, no shit

[cheffeur]

You think they wouldn't have been targeted as well?

[motivation]

looks that way from where i'm standing

[cheffeur]

Very helpful.

[if being unimpressed can carry over text it sure as hecky does here]

Does 'where your standing' involve any actual evidence? I wasn't aware we had a list of who would and would not have been removed from their homes.

[motivation]

we have a list of places the una rolled up to

[ maybe not a perfect list, but. good enough for dutch. ]

[cheffeur]

[It's one of those moments when he has to remember that Morningstar is an organization of its own agenda. And while those here have been entwined with them, they're certainly not all one cohesive unit-- evidenced clearly by those actually involved with the organization having some very helpful information, and only just now sharing it.]

'We' being Morningstar and its affiliates, I presume.

Then I suppose there's a pattern involving the recruitment times, since you're sure that the information they received was older. Has anyone begun to fix a timeframe based on the cut-off of those targeted by the UNA and those left alone?

[motivation]

[ dutch isn't involved with the organisation, but gaby's been sharing, hasn't she? and honestly, dutch knows how this goes. she's been involved with organisations before, even if she's not with morningstar, now. ]

gaby's been in a sharing mood
and no clue

[cheffeur]

Perhaps I'll be able to make time and visit the safehouse, then, if she's keen on divulging.

That would be the best start, if you wished to confirm the theories of the date of information. Out of all of those who were targeted, when did they join, and where is the break between those targeted and those ignored. Clearly in that break the data would be obtained.

[motivation]

if you're gonna chat with gaby anyway, why not ask her? i'm better at punching than i am at theories

[ not entirely true, but not entirely a lie, either ]
