I'm looking to gather information. Fill out the form below. What is the name of your home planet? Do you know the specific designation of your universe? What is the year in your native world? What is the level of technology? What is the most advanced thing you know of? Did you possess abilities prior to arrival? If so, how much of those abilities have you retained? What power have you been given? Do you have any form of criminal record? Do you have any special skills that could be used to our advantage?

[ He sighs. Says nothing for a moment - he still doesn't like Keith and would rather strangle him than converse with him, but.

He adds a filter. Because for all he is a nasty goblin, he doesn't want to cause panic. ]

My group was the third to arrive, right?
How did the second group get picked up.

[Keith doesn't get why it's private. Isn't this something they should all know about? But ... fine. Fine.]

The same way.

Nothing like what's happened to us has been repeated.

I thought there might be a chance that we were on our way to being dropped off, but it doesn't make sense. Not with the nurse doing that. The one whose apartment caught on fire.

Are you familiar with the concept of a trojan horse?

[Shiro.

Or the clone of Shiro.

Keith's still mixed up over that. Will he ever not be?]

I'm familiar. It still doesn't add up.

We don't know what was done to us.
For all we know we could be sleeper agents, no one remembers what was done. All it takes is a trigger to set off a single agent and decimate the enemy.

I know how it works. I've experienced it first hand.

I'm telling you that it doesn't add up. Why would they bring in people from another universe to do it, thus risking the fabric of this one? And not just one other universe, but a different one for most of us?

If you're outmatched you bring in outsiders.
Interfering with other universes doesn't necessarily lead to temporal collapse. If the technology is stable then there's virtually no risk to the universe people are being drawn into.
It's not uncommon. I've experienced it in my world.

Slow down for a second.

Outmatched by what? Who?

This world is at peace. I know it's hard to believe, but I haven't found any evidence to the contrary.

If the world were at peace then Morningstar wouldn't exist and wouldn't be hunting for weapons.
Just because things seem quiet doesn't mean they are.

It still doesn't add up.

Morningstar would be the enemy they're trying to take down. That we're meant to be the sleeper agents against. Just because someone has weapons doesn't mean they're at war. Those weapons could be a way of "maintaining control," and maybe Morningstar wanted some of that control for themselves. It's a common enough tactic, especially by rebel groups when they know they've gotta play the long game.

[Tactics that Kolivan and his mom instilled in him, made sure he knew. Keith wasn't always very good at the long game.]

I'm not saying I have the answer. I don't. I just think it's a good idea to be careful before deciding we're all ticking time bombs. I looked into that when I got here. I could be wrong. I hope I'm not. But every thing doesn't really account for why we're here.

I haven't decided anything.
We don't know enough. Period. But to not consider the possibility and try to account for it is pure stupidity.
It's called being prepared.

I'm accounting for it. I've been going over it for the last month. No matter what, a lot of stuff here just doesn't make sense. That makes me think we're overlooking a more obvious answer.

And being sleeper agents isn't it.

By going over it do you mean mulling over conclusions you've drawn yourself, or actually investigating?

You caught me. I sat in a corner and didn't talk to anyone for a solid month.

That fits.

Yeah, I'm sure sitting around and doing nothing sounds just like me.

It fits how you conduct yourself.

Wishful thinking isn't gonna make something true.

We're done here.

Whatever.
