i made a mistake


-------

ETA
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.

Standing by for what?

[bivariant]

Extraction.

Or removal, depending.

[forcevisions]

To extract ... us? From Riverstone? You really think that'll be necessary?

[bivariant]

I think we shouldn't go anywhere, anymore, without being prepared.

[forcevisions]

Alright.
A back-up plan.

[ that's a REASONABLE LEVEL OF CAUTION /points to eyes /points to clarke and tony ]

[bivariant]

I don't have access to cyanide capsules, or I'd offer them as proper back up. :)

[ IS SHE JOKING the emoji doesn't actually help ]

[forcevisions]

Uh
Thanks
What's cyanide do?

@goro.akechi

[impede]

It's poison. Spies often take it to end interrogations.

[forcevisions]

No one's taking poison.

[impede]

For once we're in agreement.

Hi, if this is something we end up doing, I might have a power that's helpful for a rescue party? I can see/hear/communicate through mirrors and glass and I think reflective surfaces. If someone takes in an item I'm projected on, I'll be able to overhear it and alert people if a rescue is needed.

Just a thought. If it happens.

[bivariant]

That, is actually a brilliant ability. Do you need to see the object first, before you can recon through it? How small an object? Does the area of the surface influence the quality of sensory information?

[ sorry for the interrogation, she wants this information asap....... ]

[filloryfanatic]

I need to see the object first, yeah, and I need to be looking into a mirror/glass myself, but I can be physically a distance. So whatever we send in I do have to see first. Silena and I have used her hand mirror to talk like this. I've never tried smaller than that, but that doesn't mean I can't. I can test it out before anything happens, so we know for sure it'll work.

I'm not sure how loud they'll have to be for me to hear since she's always talked directly to me. I've been working on my projection illusions too, so I've been able to make it look like I'm not there on the other side of the mirror.

That's not a bad idea.

[bivariant]

It wasn't born from the greatest of intentions.

I don't want Riverstone prying information about El or Cassius from us, alongside anything else. We're not the best at playing our cards close to our chest.

[variate]

It might be too late at that point.
We might need a more solid contingency plan, or we need to turn this on its head.

private.

[bivariant]

Like making them come to neutral ground of our choice?
That'd be the best option in our limited bag of "how do we swing this in our favor".

[ i'm late to this i'm sure it's already been discussed but LISTEN ]

[variate]

We're people who have powers.
I'm sure there's more than just that.

If you need someone to lend a hand, I offer my services.

I'm not going to put myself under their microscopes, but if this does go awry, maybe breaking out the fools who do can gain us something.
