@rey.solo
i made a mistake

Riverstone is interested in cooperating with the Displaced to learn more about the people who brought us here. They figured out who I was when I put in the paperwork to change my name back. Apparently, I'm still on the UN's most wanted list, but someone prevented the UN from acting to bring me into custody.
I don't know who, and neither does Riverstone — in fact, they asked me about it.
But they know that I'm one of the Displaced, which actually explains a few things. I've been working for Riverstone for months. After I went to Everest, I was gone a bit longer than the rest of us, well beyond El's coverage. They gave me back my job anyway. I don't think this was news to them. If you ask me, that's a sign they're not out to get us, but I realize not everyone will agree there.
Now they want to talk to all of us, or as many of us as are interested. Riverstone is offering to pay travel expenses in New Beijing for one week for anyone who wants to undergo observation and testing of their power, and who's willing to answer some questions. I know that sounds scary. I know scary. The UNA had me in custody for some time, running "tests." But Riverstone claims that what they're offering is different, that we'll preview everything first.
Before you decide, I should mention ... they think they might know something about who's been dropping us off. In return for our cooperation, they're willing to exchange that information.
I'm not telling anyone what to do, and no one else should try to do that either. But if follow (this) link, you can register your information with the Riverstone employees in charge of this, and they'll reach out to you to arrange the trip.

@lance.sweets
I'm going to preface this by saying I'm not outright against the whole idea.
[In theory, anyway.]
But as some of the others mentioned, this does seem suspicious. Not even necessarily in the sense that they're lying to you about the tests or what they'd entail--it could be a trap of some sort, but this seems like a bad way to go about setting one up--but in that their offer is very convenient. That they claim to know something about how we got here, but won't offer that information without something in return, is pretty blatant manipulation and so you should think carefully about whether or not it's worth playing into it.
no subject
[ maybe that's a weird thing to say. ]
I'd hoped we could talk about this without people telling each other what to do. This was a good way to give people something to think about without, well, bickering.
[ and he's right, and it's easier to hear it from him like this than with tony and dean and clarke's tones of voice. which is surprising — sweets' attitude towards morningstar had pretty thoroughly put rey off of him before now. ]

@ian.fowler
There are so, so many ways this could go wrong, and so many reasons to be skeptical of their intentions
This isn't exactly like Morningstar
For one, they're a thousand times bigger
For another, you kind of have to stop and think about their moral and ethical reality, being the size that they are
They're one of the largest corporations on the planet, they make billions of dollars in profit each year, maybe more
The people in their hierarchy — board members, the CEO, the CTO — they're making seven figures a year easy while there's an entire suffering and struggling lower class
Companies don't get to be as bloated as they are while being genuine and philanthropic
At the end of the day, their primary motivation is most likely going to be profit. They're not a person, they're not even a charity group, they're a commercial company. Their entire existence is structured around the idea of making money. If they're interested in us, there's something of value that will bring them financial gain
That's already a self-serving motivation
Even if they intend to use our harvested information for something like furthering the evolution of the human race, or curing disease, or stopping the monsters, the question is:
how do they plan to make money off of it
where I'm from, before the world fell apart, corporations like this would charge over five hundred dollars for a single pill used to treat cancer
a pill that started out as fourteen dollars
I know this is different, but
It might not actually be all that different
Especially when there's absolutely nothing holding them accountable

@stephen.strange, private.
This cat's out of the bag and there's no pushing it back in. He won't be another in a long line of people immediately angling to try.
He goes in privately, because the network is a clusterfuck and he isn't here to talk to everyone. He's here to talk to Rey. ]
We'll need to set up some kind of an alert system. A veto on any procedures requiring general anaesthesia so you're never unconscious, and an automatic request for help sent to chosen contacts with your last known location if you're non-responsive to an established in-implant check-in for a certain amount of time.
[ Relying on assurances has a 50/50 chance of doing them any good. In the event that everything's as safe as it's made out to be, it'll be an unnecessary precaution. But he still remembers Daisy's radio silence when she went in for that operation and the concept of taking chances is long out of mind. ]

[ given all of that up there, she'd figured stephen would also be on Team Lecture, despite his actions in the simulation ]

you already got the best advice you're gonna get, which is "this offer doesn't exactly sound like it's on the level." the more you can find out before you walk through any doors, sign any contracts, the better off you're gonna be when you do.

will they allow some of us to obvserve the tests being conducted, without being subjected to the test themselves
i've no desire to submit myself to tests, but i am curious as to what they think they will find

But since they said there'd be forms, I'd guess you could at least come read the forms and see the descriptions without committing.
