[ so, there's a lot going on lately, isn't there? after having been gone for a little while, marcos has been trying to catch up with everything that's gone on while he'd been away. it seems that the cassius thing is the big news and he has opinions on that but he's also got some other business to attend to. ]

so, i'm back. most people won't have noticed but if you did, i was gone for a little while, went home, got shot, came back, i'm fine.

[ long story short and all. ]

i know there's a lot going on and i'd hate to give people one more thing to think of but i'm gonna do it anyway. this is more an interest check than anything.

[ can't really move on anything now but with cassius looming like he is, it might be needed in the future. ]

there's a lot of people here that need help. and i want to help them. they've lost homes and needs safe places to stay, resources, that sort of thing. specifics will come later but i'm just trying to gauge if there's anyone out there that might want to do the same.

[ they couldn't all be soldiers and fighters and warriors, right? or maybe they could and marcos would go at it alone. that was fine too. he'd do it no matter what. ]

obviously, this could all be affected by whatever happens with these favors but i'm hoping cassius doesn't murder more people and call it 'necessary.' i'm not taking a favor, before anyone asks, but i can't fault anyone who does.

@ gaby, i'm back, by the way. i assume you might have noticed i was gone but i came back. seems like i did that to a few people. said something or promised something important and then disappeared. sorry.

They did have a whole war surrounding AIs. I wish we could find more sources about that, their numbers included.

[heliophilous]

Anyone ever asked the AIs themselves? I had one conversation with Cassius and never again.

[evasives]

They are one source, one that we cannot always take at face value either, especially Cassius. It would be good to have backup even if someone did speak to them.

[heliophilous]

Once again, we hit the what sort of backup can we have to an AI question.

[evasives]

Everything in this world is far more interconnected than I like, especially when it comes to the network we and the AI are all tied to.

There have to be real records somewhere, but I can imagine they are buried quite deep.

[heliophilous]

i wouldn't be surprised if they're buried so deep that no one still living knows where they are.

except the ai's. since they can seemingly access anything. i hate that.

[evasives]

And buried so on purpose.

If we cannot get around AIs, the smart idea would be to build an alliance. Better to have them on our side than against us.

[heliophilous]

Yeah, it'd be one way to go about even though I'd still be worried about them screwing us over if we didn't do what they want. They have the power and they know it.

[evasives]

Maybe we need to find something we can hold over them.

Easier said than done, I know.

[heliophilous]

Yeah, if you find something, let me know. It's not a bad idea but I just think if there's something out there, they've probably wiped it.

[evasives]

I will. I should like to let most people know.

[heliophilous]

Be careful.
