I think we should all meet up on a monthly basis to go over any useful information. Weekly is too much — I'm not looking for that kind of commitment. While this... correspondence can provide use, does anyone else feel more comfortable face-to-face? Not relying on this thing to discuss our secrets?

I'll buy the first round of drinks if the lot of you agree.

We'll see. I'm not too well-versed in the other aspects of this world. The technology, the culture... at the very least the Gods were kind and threw me a bone with the creatures that invaded. THAT I do know how to handle.

Technology like the implant is something you will have to grow into with time, but the rest will be easier to learn, particularly through practice. The issue is finding the time and the means to do so.

As for the culture, that would be done through exposure and if anyone questions you tell them you're from one of the colonies.

I don't like it. It feels intrusive.

Right.. I've already had people look at my oddly for my scar — wondering why I didn't just repair it with some... medicine or some such. I've simply never been good at blending in.

That's because it is.

There are plenty of reasons to keep a scar. If they are unable to imagine one than it seems a lacking on their part more than yours.

I suppose. Everyone I've encountered seems to like "fitting in". Even the underground clubs... there's certain — looks?

[warfares]

I imagine that there would be. You are quite attractive.
