[ there’s a lot to think about it, between people who took Cassius' deal and those who didn't. for him, the issues are separate: there's Cassius, and there's the UNA. there are too many things that remain hidden for his comfort, even less so when the Displaced are fighting each other. ]

Alright--there’s a lot going on and a lot to say. I want to keep it brief, but I have an idea. We all got the message from Cassius.

1. Cassius offering a deal to find Judas.
2. Judas is at the UNA base in New Beijing.

There isn't a lot for us to go on, but I want to take this back from Cassius and the UNA. We know that Cassius said "free him," but it was vague. We could find Judas and capture him on our own terms. We'll know more when we're able to talk to him.

Forget about the favor. It feels like Cassius is trying to turn us against each other. I know everyone has their own reason for doing what they’re doing, and I'm not here to argue over what we should've done. The UNA already knows that we're coming. That means we're all in danger. I'm interested in what can be done now.

No one has to go. If you took the deal or not, if you're going or not, if you can help us find a way of capturing Judas--let's talk about what we can do.

haha okay i can handle that. i like it.

[variate]

Yeah, me too.
It's been a while since I've done either.

So, what can you do?

[tribridfreakshow]

i can fight. i can heal people with my blood. i have a pretty good sense of smell, too.

i'm still working on getting control of whatever i was given when i got here.

[variate]

[ heal people with blood is a new one. ]

All useful.
What did you get here?

[tribridfreakshow]

i don't know exactly how it works. all i know is that it forces everything away from me.

[variate]

[ also useful. ]

Even people?

[tribridfreakshow]

yup. Everything.

[variate]

Can you tell me how far? What it's like?
I don't want to pry, so you don't have to tell me. This just sounds like something that could help.

[tribridfreakshow]

maybe ten feet? everything just sort of gets forcefully pushed away.

it doesn't bother me. i just don't have better answers. it doesn't feel like a boundary spell or telekinesis or anything like that. i could do it better if it did.

[variate]

Don't worry about doing it better right now, I just wanted to know how much you knew about it.
This might be easier if we all know a little bit more about each other. I don't think we're going to get far alone.

[tribridfreakshow]

i'm not used to working in big groups.

but you're right. it's probably necessary. it's not like we're going up against just one person.

[variate]

No, and if we don't have some idea of what we're doing, it's going to be a mess.

[tribridfreakshow]

i can agree with that. just keep me in the loop. i'm not looking to screw myself over here.

[variate]

Yeah, me neither.
