There's no way to tiptoe around this so I'll get straight to it:

Superhuman abilities. If you had them before coming here and don't have them now, I'd be grateful if you could explain to me exactly what it is that you've lost. Whether your power was linked with your biology, learned or innate, etc.

It's my intention to conduct research into how these things were nullified and I'll need as broad an understanding of the scope of the ability loss as possible if I'm going to achieve anything useful.

Also interested to hear about experiences anyone's had with any of the following:

1. Touch-initiated empathy
2. Mysterious item appearances, potentially from the chest
3. Anything else related or potentially related to weird chest feelings or the neural implant that you think might be relevant.

Disclaimer: Don't tell me about your struggles grappling with the technology. I'm not an IT consultant and I can't troubleshoot your technical difficulties. Also, don't get clever re: "weird chest feelings". You know exactly who you are, I won't @ you.

Thank you.

Do you think you can fix what's blocking our abilities?

[ squints at this entire post. ]

are you in need of an it consultant, or just pointing out the obvious?

I don't know yet.

Do you have something to fix?

You're making me feel naked, Stephen.
:(

[ excuse you ]

Pointing out what obvious?

Pick a new metaphor, that one doesn't work for you.

Yes.

My power came from the Force, but my sensitivity to it comes naturally. I had to learn how to use it, but it had always been there. Until now.

I'm fairly certain my blood saved someone's life recently. It's never done that before.

...I lost the ability to jump between worlds. To control time and space. I wouldn't call this new blood magic some kind of equivalent exchange, but...

[ hey big dick ]

The empathy is related to skin-to-skin contact, and it's only between all of us. It's the same regardless of who it happens to be.

I think you may want to add the odd situation where androids have become humans to your list. It's not a matter of abilities, but it's still a factor.

I believe my ability I had was something of a biological evolution, an ability a lot of people are born with now due to some impending doom.

I think.

I really can't explain it.

So maybe it falls under innate? But yeah, it's blocked.

[Enjoy your explanation you probably didn't ask for.]

Are you picturing me naked?

[ if he wasn't already ]

that you're not one, obviously.

[ you're excused. ]

jesus, the free wifi at future starbucks has better security than this post

[ that actually sounds distinctly similar to how his magic works. ]

So it's access to an external power that you've lost? You had the ability to wield something outside of yourself and were biologically compatible with that external force [ Force... ] but aren't intrinsically capable of that power without the connection. Correct?

Yes. Exactly.

[ she takes the risk of being excited by how quickly he understands. ]

And it's like I can feel that it's there but I can't reach it. When I try, my chest burns. And there's this new power, but it's different. It's me. I'm not connected to anything.

It's a private network. I've not got anything to hide from the people who can read this.

Maybe you can't relate.

[ yikes? ]

show me the receipts
it's way too convenient for a network to be private to just those of us who have gone through top-tier hazing
somebody on the back end is reading these messages, and none of us know who they are

[ at least, not yet. daisy's making it her mission to find out. ]

[ hi, and what the Fuck...

that's two of them now, with powers that match up in some way against his own. factor in Loki, tangentially similar, and there's a sort of pattern. ]

Your old ability. Were you born to it, or was it that you learned or acquired the ability to deal with time, space, cross-dimensional travel etc? Did you need anything else to allow you to access it, or could you just do it?

[ new powers, though. yike. ]

Saved someone's life how? Contact?

It's only us? As in those taken?

[ not making a habit of touching people in general, this had escaped him ]

Pardon.

[ nani the fuck. please elaborate, Clarke ]

[ that's actually very useful thank you akane, if only everyone were as forthcoming and polite... ]

Thank you.

What was it, exactly? If you don't mind

Yes. It didn't happen with any of the other refugees that were in the house. It didn't happen when I took a gun off an officer after checking his vital signs. It only happens with us.

As for the androids, you'll want to reach out to Connor and Markus. I'm sure they'll be along shortly to discuss this with you. It's better for it to come from them than from me.

Have you ever heard of the Morphogenetic Field Theory?

It's a Morningstar network. So yes, we're being watched, and no, I don't have a clue what they want or what they might be getting out of it. But if this is the only way to share and receive information about our situation semi-securely, I'm willing to open that information up to Morningstar.

Anyone who took us already knows what we are. Anyone who didn't might be a little more inclined to do something about fast-tracking the reversal of what's been done to us if they find out there's more to us than more mouths to feed.

If you have any better ideas about how else I should go about gathering information regarding the exact group of people who have exclusive access to this specific network without actually utilising that resource at all when the neural implant runs almost every aspect of our lives and any other connection is significantly less secure than this one, please. I'm open to suggestions.

*remembering. Unfortunately. Because you're shameless. So pick a new metaphor.

Yes.

[ oh!!! she will begrudgingly give him a gold star sticker for the use of private communications. ]

they might. but they might also think of us as freaks and try to dump us in the street where they found us.
as fun as that was the first time, i'd like to avoid it if possible again.

[ after a moment, she adds: ] how shit was your hangover after the first day?
