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! ]

Oh God no, don't put it somewhere where there's heavy traffic, absolutely not.

If you've got a plan and people watching things, I think that's sufficient-- my point was if we keep the things that we're working on separate from the truly dangerous things, geographically, we'll also curb the potential of those things walking off. More targets, they might have to pick the one with the best chance of success.

[And he doesn't have to know where that is. Even if he's not sure who he would tell, he's used to not having all the information. That's the military for you.]

You make good points.

We could leave the dangerous stuff off-site and talk to Markus and Strange about using the garage as a base for research for the safer bets, depending on what the plan is for new arrival orientation.

[ do the new folks just go the bar or to the hoverbike garage, too? is the welcome committee on call? those are displaced decisions, not morningstar's, so fitz hasn't looked into it before now. ]

For the research portion, the shop is certainly an ideal location-- vacant space already built for machining operations. But if that's the case we should absolutely leave the dangerous things away from people who don't fully understand where they are or what's going on yet. I was lucky to have Cain to ease me in, but I've experienced enough newcomer-paranoia to know it's a valid response. I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought to arm themselves in self-defense.

But if they say it's alright, I think setting up the safer projects there would be a good plan.
