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.

What if the second offer is better? You should always find out what they're willing to give.

[forcevisions]

I guess it just doesn't seem necessary.

[filloryfanatic]

Don't worry about it, that's why it helps to have other people. I know this must all be frustrating, but it's good you brought it up with us instead of just doing something, you know?

[forcevisions]

Well, they told me to.

I know the bickering sucks but there's good questions on here you can pose to them and help with negotiation. We'll get a better sense of things because of it! I'm guessing lack of information is part of what made the Judas situation such a bad risk.

[forcevisions]

And secrecy.
Cassius got everyone one-on-one.
Riverstone sent me back to discuss it with everyone.

[filloryfanatic]

Yeah that's much better, honestly. As much as people disagree, this is much better than if people just secretly did it without telling anyone.

[forcevisions]

I hope so, at least.

Something about this hit my memory, so I went back to see the messages we all shared back when we all got those mysterious messages info dump. This one Silena gave me seems like it might be related.
