Thank you to Yalena for getting us sorted. [Sort of sorted. Sort of.] Now that we've arrived in New Tokyo and we're stuck inside for a little while, I think we should talk about some new changes that we're facing. I can't be the only one.

But first: a good number of us are here unwillingly, but we have to wait until we're fully prepped before we can go anywhere. Heading outside in these temperatures while unprepared could cost you your life. We all hate being trapped somewhere. I think that's pretty well-established. We also hate having to do anything or be anywhere when we didn't ask for that to happen. At least it doesn't seem like we were drugged, though it wouldn't hurt for Katelin and I to take some blood samples to confirm that. We'll have to store them until we get back.

As for the changes in your lives: have you noticed any? For instance, apparently I'm a lab tech at Giles Bell. I tried to set myself up for a new internship there that I could get easily, but I got ... elevated. Or hired beyond that? I'm not sure what the right terminology is here. Has anyone else noticed this? Or had it happen to them? I got permissions to take leaves from both of my jobs. And no, I'm really not prepared to work as a lab tech. I don't even know the first thing about setting up gels.

As a bit of a personal request ... does anyone think we can make pancakes in the small kitchen here? I have a craving for them. I've not really had cakes of the "pancake" variety before, but I want them now. And if you think we can, can you make them?

[This last bit is Loki's fault.]

Agreed. We'd need a trained team of individuals, ideally composed in part of people whose abilities weren't displayed during the raids or have evolved since then.

I believe the UNA was able to record and analyse our movements using a kind of combat diagnostics software. They started anticipating our actions, both natural and unnatural. All of us who fought them have showed our hand, at least in part.

Do you think you could adapt the electro-shock device you were talking about into some kind of projectile? It won't entirely remove their advantage ㅡ their armor will likely have at least one back-up ㅡ but it would up our chances, and with the right team it would be enough.

[ it's a reminder to give that gift to peggy, too, as thanks for all she's done for him (and all they might be able to accomplish together here). ]

That's a good shout.
I can, and I will, as soon as we're back.

[ taser discs should be easy. hell, he'd make trick arrows, if they still had a hawkeye. ]

Excellent.

Then we'll discuss this again once we've returned to New Amsterdam.

See you in the snow.
