[ gross, talking to people. but needs must. ]

We probably need to get the New Amsterdam gate back online at some point.

It seems like our best bet to recreate the situation that turned on the gates in the first place which means we need to have people in New Oslo, New Rio, New Cairo, and Mount Everest activating the gates at the same time.

We've got new little birdies, you lot can help.

[ PEER PRESSURE. the new arrivals have their ids by now so this is targeted peer pressure. let's figure out this gate situation.

also, an ooc planning post for y'all, as well as a phase header comment HERE ]

We may need to explain what it means for them to be birdies.

[realists]

Eh. One of them will ask.

[impede]

Yes. People always get caught up in the details.

[As if this is a bad thing. But for Akechi, sometimes he just wants to push things through.]

Do we have someone who visited each of the locations? I was in New Cairo.

[realists]

Cassian and I were in New Oslo. It wasn't difficult.

Mount Everest will be the complication.

@tim.gutterson

[snipedt]

You know, this makes me wonder where all those mercs are from when we opened the gates the first time
You know the ones hired from Global Spiral by some mysterious benefactor who wanted us shepherded to all the locations to make sure the gates were open?

[realists]

Didn't have them in New Oslo.

[ the solo group that didn't need adult supervision. she's already said oslo wasn't complicated... ]

Global Spiral reminds me of group we ran into in Zerzura, they were called Nautilus.

[impede]

To clarify, do you mean the name itself?

[realists]

The name, yes.

They believed in a blue god and Nautilus was looking for 4 specific points, that they thought the Displaced could help them find.

[ obviously jyn did not help them find it. ]

I'd forgotten that.

[speediest]

the what

[realists]

A series of gates that facilitate intraplanetary travel.

There is a gate beneath every major city center, the one in New Amsterdam is not working.

[speediest]

ooh ok sounds legit
don't have anything better to do anyway

@hunter.bently

[sinnabon]

what can we do to help?
we being the new people
birdies

[realists]

You can join a group going to a gate, once we figure them out. There were clear messages of unity and cooperation so groups are better than solo missions.

Where depends on your strengths.

[sinnabon]

ok um
im pretty good at research?
and ancient languages
and impersonating law enforcement
kind of

@annabeth.chase

[intellects]

I'll go to Mount Everest, if no one else will.

( yolo. )

[realists]

There are at least two people that have gone before. They won't mind you going with.

[ decides this for tim and klaus. they don't get to make this decision anymore, it is decided. ]

[intellects]

I'll see if I can find them. Thanks.

@ian.fowler

[wittingly]

I'll go with you
If you don't mind the company

[intellects]

Do you promise not to try and murder me in my sleep?

( that is, weirdly enough, a real question. )

@loki.odinson

[selfimage]

That begs a bigger question, doesn't it?
As in, why did it close in the first place?

[realists]

And how, if it took our collective effort to open them.

[selfimage]

How are you certain our collective effort will open them again?

@ian.fowler

[wittingly]

Hey
What kind of gates are we talking?
If they're mechanical, I might be able to help, I'm an engineer
I know this is the future and all, but
some principals stay the same for hundreds of years, you never know

[realists]

You're not wrong about engineering, but the gates are like a doorway. Not much engineering required.

[ or any. ]

[wittingly]

well, there goes about the extent of my usefulness
guess there's nothing else I can really do to help, huh?
