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.

i'm planning to meet with them in new beijing
to see if we're able to change the terms

[ofmyth]

would you allow me to join you?

[voicelog]

are you sure you want to?

you'll be exposing yourself as a displaced to them if you come with us

[ofmyth]

standing out from the crowd has never been a concern for me


but while i will not subject myself to their tests, i wish to observe them if i can.

[voicelog]

in that case, i don't see any reason why you can't join us

[ofmyth]

have no fear that i'll try to wrestle control of any negotiations away from you

unless these riverstone people turn out to be completely and unreasonably set on evil

[voicelog]

if they turn out to be completely and unreasonably set on evil, i wouldn't stop you

i'd join you

[ofmyth]

you almost make me wish that would turn out to be the case

[ sometimes its nice when the bad guys are just straight-forward bad instead of complicated ]

[voicelog]

it would make things a whole lot simpler

but let's wait and see what they have to say for themselves
