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.

I'd hope not, but we'll be certain we're not getting other disagreements, hm?

i doubt even those among us who'll take riverstone up on their offer would want to see a clone made

and unless riverstone have their own @ tony.stark working for them, i hope we'll have no true cause for concern

[ is he pinging tony on purpose? you decide ]

We'll have to ensure that we keep @tony.stark's employment record clear of Riverstone.

can we stop talking about tony stark, thanks

Do you mean @tony.stark?

loki

[ please read that in his mom voice. ]

Tony.

don't aggravate him, brother

Not even a little, perhaps?

listen to your brother

Well, now I'm having second thoughts.

voicelog - 2020-10-05 03:54 (UTC) - Expand

you have surely had the same concerns, that riverstone would misuse the access they have to us, if we grant it

i'm going to handle it

[ or at least he's going to give it his best shot. ]

together, we will handle it.

you alone are not responsible for how this development unfolds

But a rather good example of what not to do, certainly.

you've made your point, loki

if i were you, i would not be so quick to highlight where others have failed to respect bodily autonomy

[ he means with sif. only after sending does he realise who else loki might take that to be about ]

if they know about us, it's likely they have some awareness of us and what skills we possess

would riverstone have a reason to look into him? what has he been doing these past few months while I've been elsewhere?

[ thor
it isn't polite to just talk about people while they're in the thread ]

There's no need to concern yourself, I've been keeping a keen eye on him.
Luckily, there's not much to report. He's been behaving.

[ is this making up for blowing this up?

probably not, but it's semi-nice. ]

i'm right here, guys

What? It's good.

keeping a 'keen' eye on me, huh?

then you'll be able to answer

it is likely that riverstone have files on people they believe to be displaced, along with the abilities they have. if it is so, how aware of your skills do you think they would be?

[ in thor's estimation, any tech company that knows of tony stark's skills and doesn't immediately want to hire him is run by complete idiots ]

they wouldn't be
the one good thing about this place is that no one knows about me here
no one outside of people from our earth
or the alternate version of our earth

[...]

of course that could change now
i'm not the only tony stark here anymore

[ troubling, really. ]
