@rey.solo

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.

You don't owe them, so I hope you mean that.

Who got you out of trouble? I think that's what we should try to figure out ourselves instead.

Don't you think it's fishy that they're asking us to offer ourselves up without giving any evidence of what they know in return? Isn't that exactly what Cassius did?
strove: (i'm SORRY i know more)

How do we know this doesn't endanger the whole world, Rey? We've seen what our powers can do when combined. We've seen it first hand. And you want to give a glimpse of that over to Riverstone because they might be able to help?

Did you just ignore everything else that I said?

If they had all the power they wanted, why would they need to experiment on us?
strove: (but it's KINDA CUTE I GUESS)

[personal profile] strove 2020-10-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Are you saying that they have a right to experiment on us because it's their world?
strove: (I guess I will make a panther burrito)

Rey, that's what it sounds like you just said.

You're making up excuses for them that it doesn't sound like they said themselves.

They don't have a right to know about us, Rey, and giving up too much information is exactly what everyone argued against when Stephen first posed the idea.

I'm reading what you're saying without the capital letters.

Really, Rey?

It's a conversation that needs to be had, especially since how you come across will impact how other people decide what to do.

But it's fine. Believe what you will. Assume we deserve to be treated like experiments.
