[ IC DATE: OCT 06, 17:00 ]

Good evening, everyone. For our new arrivals and those of you I haven’t yet met, I’m Peggy Carter. I arrived on the fifth transport in August. You’re likely already acquainted with Fitz (@leo.fitz) from the first transport. And as you may have noticed on the news, the problems in this world have escalated. So we have a proposition for you.

But first, to catch you up: We all woke up far from home, and a rebel organisation called Morningstar found us first, providing assistance. For over 50 years, Morningstar has fought to restore human rights, dismantle the influence of corporate conglomerates, fight government corruption, and save lives in this world. But on September 10th, the United Nations moved against them — and between the arrests and emergency relocation of the surviving agents, their ranks here have been severely depleted. (Check the Newbie Guide for more information).

Without Morningstar, crucial eyes and ears on the inside and boots on the ground are gone. If we want to understand and help this world, filling those gaps is a logical next step. Not just for ourselves but for the people who relied on Morningstar long before we got here.

Both Fitz and I chose to join up some time ago (and we aren’t the first of our group to do so). After the arrests, we approached Gaby with an offer to help rebuild Morningstar’s network and take on any unfinished business in the aftermath. She identified charity work in the poverty-stricken districts of the city as a chief priority.

If you want to help, you can lend a hand tonight. Carter and I will be at the safehouse from 19:00 to answer questions, and at 20:00 sharp, we’re heading out as Morningstar agents to deliver food and clothes to those in need. Even if you can’t yet leave the safehouse, you can help us prep packs.

And if you would like to do more or feel your position in New Amsterdam society could help Morningstar’s cause, do let us and Gaby know. We’re keen to assist anyone with exploring their options here or in person. Our varied backgrounds and skills mean we have the potential to strengthen Morningstar’s network of intelligence and contribute beyond our own objectives, too.

Our aim today is to share this information and the opportunity to volunteer. Unfortunately, because we’ve used precious resources and inadvertently attracted scrutiny in the public eye — often while asking for Morningstar’s help with investigations into our predicament, as I’ve done — our current relationship with Morningstar is tenuous at best, despite our recent assistance during the raids. But consider this a new chapter.

Our stay here may be temporary, but we can still strive to leave this world better than how we found it. Thank you for your time.



EDIT: Thanks to @nill.klein and @sansa.stark, we've set up two boxes for clothing at the safehouse: One for ready-to-donate items and one for items in need of repair. The labelling will appear when you scan them with your neural implant, so you know which is which.



[ ooc; For context, the plot engagement comment outlining all this information is here. There will not be a log for the clothing/food run mentioned in the post, so you’re welcome to handwave your character coming along or roll in here. Both Fitz and Peggy will be replying in the comments, although not necessarily to all of them, so feel free to discuss amongst yourselves, turn threads into in-person chats with our resident Brits, and ask questions! Let's get collaboratin'! 💪🏼]

Don't want to get people's hopes up if it doesn't work out, y'know. Or for the ideas and tech to fall into the wrong hands.

[ they're all displaced, but not too long ago they had dead bodies on their hands, courtesy of new arrivals. and fitz is accustomed to his designes being used for unjust ends. they have to be careful with this. ]

Scramblers, definitely. Bugs also sound like a great shout.
If you come by before or after work tomorrow, we can talk over the specs we're working with and our tech wishlist.

[ Catherine sort of blithely goes around creating mind-bending new technology just because she feels like it, but the consequences of the ARK had been severe enough -- both positive and negative -- that she takes this more seriously now. The memories of that fallout are indelibly seared in her mind, even if she hadn't experienced most of them firsthand.

Catherine-1, the original, had been killed by her coworkers over it. The present Catherine can't just forget that. It's made worse that she doesn't understand it; it means she has little faith in her ability to predict that sort of reaction in others. It's left her jumpy, a little sensitive, and much more reserved about her creations than she was before.

She's more than happy to have someone else taking over the role of dissemination and project planning. Maybe no one will kill themselves, or her, over something she does this time. ]


Will do. I haven't actually started work yet -- onboarding takes a while at big companies. Something I didn't miss.

I'll see you then, Fitz!


[ Catherine in person is more palpably awkward and reserved than she is in her online personality. Text generated from her thoughts gets as close to Catherine-in-the-Omnitool levels of distance from her feelings as she can. It lets her be more confident, more forthright, and overall more herself.

In person? The social anxiety that had made her known as a "quiet mouse" around PATHOS-II comes lurching back to the fore, and she's accordingly tentative as she edges her way into the workspace. She has a bag with some parts in it that she's been tinkering with, and she holds it close, calling out in an unsure tone: ]
