[In truth, Goro Akechi is no leader or great organizer of the people. His approach to things like this is selfish at best, but he wants to make sure that no one is going to get in his way.

The reality is that he sees the opportunity behind this all. But at the same time, he has someone caught that he cares about. That he needs to be able to reach.

And thus, he's divided: between his worst inclinations and his worries. Regardless, there's no reason to reveal his hand.

Thus, he does this. He doesn't see any point in provoking who's "left behind," not like he did early in Zerzura.]

I believe it would behoove us to have a place to talk away from Cassius' prying "eyes."

So, here we are. I'd like for this to serve as a bit of a roll call. Check in, and say where you are.

I'm certain we've all realized that attempting to return "home" won't serve us in the least.

The least someone could do is serve a proper continental breakfast.

We're in New Prague

[impede]

You're going to have to be more specific.

[impede]

At least you'll have the freedom to find some places that suit your needs.

I'd recommend some, but I'm afraid most of those locations seem to be temporarily shuttered. A shame.

[realists]

Two displaced are in New Prague

[impede]

Is there a reason why you're being so cagey? There are so few of us who can help those within the simulation.

[selfimage]

Especially tenuous freedom considering the circumstances.
It's beginning to feel a lot to close to home with so many world altering events. I suppose that's what happens when certain situations start to reach their peaks.

[impede]

Oh, you mean like allowing an AI to go free after he was kept in hostile captivity for centuries?

How could that have ever gone poorly?

[realists]

Habit.

[ akechi is not on jyn's list of five people she trusts, them's the breaks. ]

[selfimage]

It's convenient in more than just that way, isn't it?
The placement of the disasters, Cassius' debut, golden eyed beasts, and the sudden rocky foundations of this world. It's as if it's cracking apart at its very core.
I've seen my share of Ragnaroks, and been at the center of many of them, this isn't unfamiliar.

[impede]

Obviously, it would be impolite to tell you to break it at a time like this.

But I can't help but notice that while you and your partner in investigations is around to speak to Cassian, Daisy is not. That means you have someone in that simulation that you care about.

We have limited resources. Limited information. You wouldn't be the only one proving more flexible during a difficult time.

[impede]

You know that I don't agree with this Ragnarok theory, and all that leads into it. It's just a matter of what you find familiar.

Where are you, anyway? I did ask.

[realists]

Guess you really are a detective, aren't you?

[ does it count as detecting if it is the most obvious partnership known to man? ]

We are seeing what resources the New Prague branch of Morningstar can provide as well as contacting our resources in New Beijing, Morningstar and otherwise.

[selfimage]

Ragnarok is just a loose term.

Speaking of.
New Oslo, where else?

[impede]

I wonder which part you're referring to.

[Could it be all of it? Just the same, he got her to relent, so he won't antagonize her. Akechi hates the position that he's in: hates that he can't know what's going on with Ren, and that he has to play nice with the small handful of people that he's criticized for a long, long time. He hasn't even withheld his criticisms as much as he likely should have.

And now he's here.]

I've offered up my abilities to Cassius, so I'll see what he can do with me. There are places where such a power would be useful, at least in acquiring us resources.

That said, if you're in contact with Morningstar, this would be a good time to disrupt the stability of this world. The UN's pristine statement didn't designate any blame. No, it implied incompetence on the parts of people who are long dead.

It may not be the right time to do this, but we should keep that in mind as we move forward.

We should see if we can determine what it means that the UNA can't complete orders.

[impede]

How could it be that our predictability protected us from this nightmare?

I'm in New Tokyo. Despite the fact that it lacks some of the charm of my homeland, I do rather enjoy it. Did you know that they emulated a version of Shibuya's Crossing? I'm glad that they decided to pay homage to it.

[realists]

I am aware.

The ALIGN implants are failing without the AI operating system. The memos say they are being compromised by an outside source, probably Judas hisself.

[impede]

So, still compromised at a time like this. A salient point.

It does mean that they won't be able to prevent us from doing much. One less problem to concern ourselves with at a time like this.

And from what I've seen, they tend to crop up when we need to be more efficient.

[realists]

They're still heavily armed.

[ and an army. ]

[impede]

I'm not saying we purposely put ourselves in their crosshairs, but they may be less of a problem right now.

[realists]

No, but it should be considered if we're talking about disrupting the stability of this world. They're armed, the rest of the world is not.

Last time we had a chance to nail the UNA like this it went sideways. The UN got the jump on propaganda, they won.

[selfimage]

Without some level of it, unpredictability means nothing, hm?
Some things stay the same, all while being vastly different.

[impede]

"Stay" isn't the word I'd use here. Tokyo now isn't Tokyo then. Hence the utilization of the word "emulated."

[impede]

["The last time this happened, I wasn't involved."

He thinks it, but doesn't say it.]

You're wrong about that time. The issue with those among our numbers is that they act with the motivation of someone new to this world. Knowing what I do about those involved, they lacked the foresight to ever come ahead.

That said, it's odd that you would consider that they'd turn on their people. Do you really think it would be that easy to provoke an action like that?

[realists]

How am I wrong?
