[
Don't mind him, just ignoring the trauma of their recent sojourn to another world and another life by giving himself a project that can realize the stuff he was talking about weeks ago- ]
a little while before we got interdimensionally kidnapped (again) i'd started thinking of ways to get to the moon to kick down henries' door, because i assumed that the only place a rich immortal nutcase would decide to live is there.
now that we've got confirmation and i don't have to sound like a crazy person, that's exactly what i want to accomplish. i've theorized with some people that there might be a gate on the moon. if so, probably needs some kind of activation. if not, well. i think there's some evidence we've made them before, but somebody can correct me if i'm wrong.
either way it requires getting there, so there's some options
1) legal: extremely high shuttle fare, huge pain, potentially registers us in a system via ticketing and security feeds
2) less legal: stow away on shuttles, run the risk of discovery, need to understand access points and means of egress
3) questionably legal: build our own shuttle, attract unwanted attention doing so, there's probably a log somewhere of registered shuttles which would mean fake credentials
4) definitely illegal: steal a shuttle, earn bad press, possible arrest?
what i'm looking for is people who want to see this through and don't mind the distinct possibility of getting their hands dirty. hit me up if you're interested.

i'm dick grayson, but not either of the two that have been here before.
multiverse headaches, right? nice to meet some of you again, but i'll cut to the chase.
a lot of people need help, and the infrastructure is a wreck. i've been trying to catch up as much as i can on how things usually go around here. it sounds like you've helped during disasters before, so i'm looking to see who wants to help again.
things are chaotic, and i know most of you are probably still trying to recover after what happened. i can take point if it's needed, with organizing if nothing else. i know i'm new, so i don't blame anyone who might not trust me. i'm just trying to take some of the load off. i'm a former cop, and i have experience working in disasters like this.
well, as close to this as you can get, anyway.[Which is only partially the truth but, hey! Oh well!]so, let's get organized. start with a headcount of who's back, who can help, what areas are in the worst shape and what needs aren't being met, whether that means natives or displaced.

Alright kids, listen up. Here's what we're doing.
Plan A - Lance, you look into shipping artifacts to a volunteer displaced on the moon. Anxiety Potter has 2, Drake has 1, we need a fourth. Chime in if you got one. If it seems secure and viable, do it. The hipster and his girlfriend can draft up the Ikea instructions.
Plan B - If shipping isn't viable, Stark, you already volunteered for a shuttle party. Be on deck to pick up the goods and hop on board for the return trip. If you get punted off we go to plan C.
Plan C - Jimmy's willing to throw his Bezos money at us to charter a private trip once society's functional again. It's a safety net option, but it kind of depends on the human race not collectively freaking out after the whole Second Life fiasco. It also means everybody's gonna have to slow their roll for a few weeks. Boo hoo.
Plans D, E, and F are stupid. Everybody knows who we are, nobody's strolling through TSA after a threat level red. Nobody's stealing an entire freaking space ship without getting caught, don't ruin Hanukkah in July for the rest of us. We build our own rocket and we're gonna get the future air force scrambling F-15s in about six seconds.
If none of that works, we'll circle back to the dumb ones.
Everybody shut up and leave each other alone. Opinions are like assholes. Nobody cares and toilet paper doesn't exist anymore. If you're not here to volunteer or talk logistics, don't talk. Nobody's stopping you from planning your own birthday party mooncation. Hell, first one there wins a prize.
If you have feedback, put it in the suggestion box in my office. Schedule all appointments through my secretary. Please don't make Jimothy a thing. I'm too old to live like that.
EDIT: If you got a specific reason you wanna get to the moon or questions for Jimmy, head on over here. Run it by Jason. He'll see what he can do. Maybe save us a trip.

[He was so not planning to make a post any time soon, but this is all a mess so whatever.]First off, to the people who have newly arrived, hello. Waking up in another world isn't exactly the easiest thing to deal with, and you've arrived at an even more tumultuous time than usual, but I have some resources for you that might help a little; you might've already found them, but here are the welcome guide and the information compendium.
I need to update the latter with everything that just went down, but the short version is that everyone on Earth was--or still is--in another world, or reality, or something. They're only returning upon death, which may help explain why everyone seems particularly difficult, if you've been reading the network. If you have questions about it all I can try to help, but I was one of the earliest to return so I'm missing some pieces.[Just don't ask him about anything other than the general situation, he doesn't know any of the cool secret lore. Got murdered too fast and all that. But shifting subjects--]You may have also noticed some of the discussions about the moon, and how those on Earth could get back and forth; one of those potential methods, which would be long term, would involve one of you who just arrived doing those of us stuck on Earth a favor. If you're interested, please let me know.[And lastly, but also very importantly--]As for Displaced who are returning from the Aerie, I think Red Wings is being set up as a meeting place as usual, though be careful traveling through the city. Most importantly, though, try to check in on each other, and try to be patient with each other. We've all just been through a lot, and just because we're easy, safe targets for each other to take out our emotions on, that doesn't make it right and it doesn't actually help anyone. We're all in it together, and we can get through it.

I am going to pistol whip the next one of you jackdaws that so much as breathes about the moon.
Need I remind y'all that the entire population of the planet was just treated as harshly as the rest of us, with one Hell of a lot less context? Whatever else is going on, there are folks that are going to need our support way more than the lot of us need answers. We're in a unique position to help them and it's a Hell of a lot less disgraceful than whatever y'all think you're accomplishing by squabbling with each other.
The newest batch of Displaced are landing in New Tokyo. I'm going there tomorrow to start helping out with anyone returning from the Aerie so their arrival ain't marred by half so much chaos as all that. If you're of a mind to help, be at the gate at 0600.
If you have nothing useful or constructive to say, keep your goddamn thoughts, opinions and otherwise to yourself. I ain't got a lick of patience for any bullshit right now.
Hicks out.
