hi @ everyone

i woke up here months ago. there bus were were on crashed and there was a firefight after. not everyone managed to get out and not everyone made it to the safehouse. i remember some of the faces of those who were on the bus with me and the others that did make it.

of those of us who were at the facility, our newest wave of arrivals? at least some were on that bus with us.

i don't know whether you've been held captive there or elsewhere for all those months, i don't know if this is true for everyone we met at the facility and i don't know what this means in the grand scheme of things, but i figure we should all know.

oh, and a lot has been happening lately, so this isn't entirely up to date, but those of us who've been around a while wrote up an arrival guide. it might answer some questions, at least.

yeah
it might

[ it does ]

but it's not really enough to go start a rescue mission of any sort

[kleptocratic]

When would it be?

[ He agrees— there's nothing to go on. So the next step would be to get something to go on. ]

[covertness]

i imagine having a location or at least a place to start would be a good idea

[ bobbi morse has more specific ideas, but katelin philips? katelin philips is a civilian; staging rescue missions isn't her forte ]

[kleptocratic]

But we don't know where the buses come from, do we?

I didn't even know they were called buses when I was kidnapped.

[covertness]

yeah, we have no idea
that's the problem

although with what we've seen now, my guess is there are more facilities like that one and that's where the busses come from
although why drop off people? i have no idea

[kleptocratic]

It does seems like an extra step.
And extra steps are where plans go awry. Which means our mysterious kidnappers are either bad at planning or that there's a reason for it.

[covertness]

as much as i'd like for them to be incompetent, i'm assuming there's a reason

[kleptocratic]

So. I don't know what it is. Maybe the facilities need to be in a certain place.

[covertness]

having them outside the city and away from surveillance, oversight or at least away from someone accidentally taking a cooltalk video of someone being experimented on makes sense, i guess, from their perspective

[kleptocratic]

Yes, but surely there are ways to keep a facility secret and close by. Maybe it's a matter of priorities.

[covertness]

i'd like to say it depends on how much sway and power the people behind it have
but we shouldn't underestimate them one way or another

[kleptocratic]

No, but overestimating has roughly the same effect.

[covertness]

you're probably right about that
