Hi everyone,

If you don't already know me from the safehouse or the guide, I'm Fitz, one of the arrivals from the first transport. Prior to being here, I was a weapons and technology expert at SHIELD. Now, I’m a Pulsar engineer and, more importantly, an agent of Morningstar.

Recently, @ojiro.juniper approached me with the clever idea to kickstart some research and development efforts. We’re working on a way to bankroll this, and we’ll let you know how that develops in due course. For now, regardless of where discussions have evolved on the nature of organisation and leadership, we need your assistance with some big endeavors, both for the Displaced and Morningstar.

1. As some of you may know from the raids, Morningstar has a cache of unidentified weapons in its local store. We don’t know what they do, how they work, how dangerous they are, and so on, but I want to find out. So, let's discuss a plan: Any thoughts or ideas for how to approach the cache and suss everything out safely would be welcome.

Reckon we’ll need at least one colour-coded spreadsheet. [ ***NOT JOKING ]

2. We could use a team of engineers for ad hoc projects. Presently, I’m exploring tech that could counter both the UNA and the creatures that keep popping up, as well as give us more freedom to act whenever trouble comes our way — all by my lonesome.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, whether or not you have the technical know-how to get to work immediately, or you want to learn on the job, let me know. Can’t pay you in anything except snacks, but I can assure you they’ll be bug free.

3. Hi, this is Ojiro. In addition to the above, I also need an engineer for personal reasons, and I will pay you. I need someone with a lot of experience with tech as advanced as the standard here, preferably lots of hands-on engine work. Message me if you're interested!

Cheers.

[ Check out here for more deets on the cache and here for some OOC knowledge of what Fitz is working on personally. He’ll share details of the latter strand of work with any individuals wanting to form a geek squad c: For #3, interested applicants can just private message Ojiro on this post! I'll be throwing together a plot engagement incorporating what characters ICly suggest in the coming weeks! ]

PRIVATE FOREVER.

I trust the network.

[ but does he trust max? yes, he decides. ]

Morningstar has neural scrambling masks. They anonymise your identity, but everyone knows the tech is Morningstar. Sort of their signature move.
I've done a redesign in displaced blue, but I need help reworking more than the handful I've managed.
And if we can find a way to make them even less recognisable, that could be a gamechanger.

AND EVER AMEN.

[revvedup]

it's not necessarily my area of expertise, but i'll see what i can do.
are there other people working on this?

[retravel]

As of this post?
You, me, Jaqobis, Abel, Parker, Teller, and Rey are on it.

[ a beat. ]

Don't have anything in the works on this front, but we could do with transport on hand for the Displaced in future. Maybe make use of the new garage.

[ and in her wheelhouse, besides. ]

[revvedup]

are you gonna hold a meeting so we can compare notes?

that's something a little more up my alley. [ as he well knows. ] what kind of transport?

[ she's thinking bikes would be more practical, but not everyone knows how to ride one. ]

[retravel]

Is a potluck too twee?

[ joking sort of ]

Bikes, mainly, but what sort of covert or rebel organisation doesn't have a car or two, eh?

[revvedup]

not when bugs are the main protein source.

[ actually, that sounds disgusting. ]

fortunately, their engines aren't too dissimilar. if we can find the parts for everything, assembly shouldn't be that difficult, especially if there's someone else among that group who's also familiar with engines.

[retravel]

We've got a lot of people who lean toward mechanic work. You, Teller, Abel, Rey.
I'll schedule a time for us all to swap notes. Hopefully, we'll have a funding source locked in by then.

[ tech costs $$$$ ]

If you want to take point on this, it's yours.

[ he's the gadget guy, really. and they need to divide and conquer. ]

[revvedup]

[ well, if they don't, she's also got an extensive background in cat burglary. ]

we should have that meeting first, see who's got the most relevant experience with what we need to do. but i'll get in touch.

[retravel]

Brilliant.
I'll be in touch soon.

[ SOON-ISH. ]

[revvedup]

i'll be here.
thanks for the opportunity.

[retravel]

[ !!!! how nice... ]

Should be me thanking you — but you're welcome.
