[ 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'! 💪🏼]

Comments

@katelin.philips, let's pretend this isn't horrifically late

[covertness]

i'll definitely lend a hand with charity work

[ and private: ]

and anything else that you need that doesn't compromise my cover [ unless it's worth compromising her cover for, of course. ]

[retravel]

Thank you, Kat.
Would you be open to running samples for us, as needed?

[ keeping this all above board.

and private. ]

I'm sure we'll need you.
Your cover can only aid Morningstar, at this point.

[ the mockingbird is still a potential trump card, worth keeping on hand. ]

[covertness]

yes, of course

[ and private. ] here's hoping it will

[ otherwise what's the point? maintaining a civilian cover part time isn't so bad, but maintaining one full time is beginning to wear on her, too. not being able to do as much as she knows she could.

at least she's well-positioned to help in other ways. ]

[retravel]

Thank you again.
With a potential relief trip to New Tokyo in future, do you and Clarke have what you need to crack on with a vaccine for creature-related outbreaks?

[covertness]

enough to give it a try
whether we have enough to actually create a vaccine, well
we'lll see

[retravel]

If we can't manage a vaccine, that says more about the virus than our resources.

[ it says a great deal about themselves, too. what the hell are they? ]

[covertness]

[ that's what bobbi's wondering, too. how can it be that nothing conclusive has shown up on any scans yet? ]

it says a little about both

[ jemma is better suited to this sort of thing than bobbi. shield labs are better suited than after hours at giles bells' r&d department. and so on. ]

private.

[retravel]

Indeed.

Two other things:
1. Need to pass you a blood sample from Hafid. He wants to know if dying during the raids has affected his physiology.
2. Working on obtaining a sample of the drug going around the fight clubs, seems to increase aggression and/or strength. I've asked Malone, but I'll check with Fighter as well. Ensure we get what we need.

private.

[covertness]

i'm happy to look into both of those
the drug might even help isolate what components lead to the aggression, which could help with the vaccine
