Hello you lot. I know people might still be pissed about what went down, so ignore if you don't want an update, however.

So Riverstone sent us medical reports but since I don't know what any of it means, if someone with modern/medical know-how wants to look and explain shite, I'll send it to you. These are the summaries I think I understood:

Our powers don't seem to be biological? So when we used them they didn't show any biological changes? I think? Don't know what that means.

I agreed to do a dream study to try and figure out why I keep showing up in your dreams, they said strangely our brains appear completely awake when we're doing it. No wonder I'm bloody tired.

Also can someone who's been around for a bit explain what the Mariana Trench was?

Added: I got weary of not letting other people take the buck on this one, they gave us the name James Henries and said if we told you lot they'd lose their advantage. Hopefully not, but there you go!

Did they send you any images of the brain scans from the powers or dream testing, or did you just get a summary of the results? I can read the scans, if you have them.

[championofsnark]

I think we got reports of everything? None of them mean anything to me, I'll send them all along.

[OOC: Mods has some explanation here]

[championofsnark]

You collect info right? Just so you know in case it matters, here's the questions they asked us during the testing:

How do we move around so quickly?

What do we know about Johanan Grey?

What do we know about the person who interrupted the arrests?

What happened with something Caitlin and some name like Cat? Cattan?

What happened in the Trench?

What happened in Antarctica?

How were we able to get out of the simulation/what was that all about/how did it end?

Where's Judas?

[lifetothefullest]

This is very useful, thank you.

[And very, very interesting.]

As for the scans, they say what Riverstone claims; they could always be falsified, but that's a possibility with all of this.

[And there's no reason to assume it, just be aware of the chance.]

And now I'm concerned for everyone's mental state if they're not getting the REM cycles they should be.

[championofsnark]

Wait I remember the names because I think they're both dead. Katelin ... something and something Kattan. If they're dead why are they asking us what we knew?

This is why I'm always tired, I swear. Stupid dreams.

[lifetothefullest]

The first is Katelin Jovavich, I'm guessing, though I'm not sure about the other. There could be many reasons why they're asking about someone who's dead, such as that we might know something about their activities while they were alive and that information could be valuable to Riverstone.

[filloryfanatic]

Matek Kattan was the real name of Ball. When we got out of the simulation he was already dead, some people were suspicious it wasn't natural.

[lifetothefullest]

Thank you, that puts some things together for me.

[filloryfanatic]

Both Katelin and Ball died in the simulation/never woke up. It sounds like Riverstone also might think it wasn't coincidental.

@jyn.erso

[realists]

Jovavich died after one of us asked her about Grey. It was not at all coincidental.

[filloryfanatic]

And we all know there were reasons to kill Ball.

[impede]

Jyn is right. Someone made a foolish action in part because of your foolish action.

I wonder: did you get Ball killed, too?

The idea of Riverstone knowing how exactly we move around through the gates does not sit well with me.

[impede]

Someone knows of the gates. It's how we ended up at them. I was among the people kidnapped and left at the New Cairo gate. I had no intention of participating in other the New Oslo or Mt. Everest excursions, and yet I was there just the same.

From there, we need to make the next conclusions. Does Riverstone think this is insider knowledge, or do they want us to put words to what they already know?

[evasives]

Yes, the people who presumably paid those mercenaries know, even pushed us towards it. I have assumed they wanted us to unlock this.

Have you seen anything that suggests Riverstone already had evidence of how we travel?

[impede]

Nothing that I've seen. But we can't continue to ignore the possibility that this world knows more than it lets on, especially when it comes to us.

[evasives]

I am not discounting it. I think Riverstone itself knows far more than they would ever let on. They cannot have their hands in as many pockets as they do and be totally clueless.

[impede]

Exactly that. Of course, I'm not reminding you. It seems that many among us assume that the world knows less than they let on regardless of continual pieces of information to the contrary.

Perhaps you'll come up with a compelling way to make them see the truth.

[evasives]

It's quite easy for some of them to play dumb too. A tried and true tactic.

When I have more of the truth, it will be easier to convince.

[championofsnark]

I don't think any of us told them about the gates. They asked about it, but we all lied, far as I remember.

[evasives]

Hopefully everyone lies well. I would not trust this company not to experiment with the gates.

[championofsnark]

I told them I'm a fast runner, thanks for noticing. So not much helpful there. No one wants anyone but us to have access to gates, outside of whoever the fuck controls the monsters that could use them easily. That's more than enough.

[evasives]

I would imagine Riverstone would be quite keen on using the Gates for their own purposes, if they could figure out how.

[championofsnark]

I don't blame them. They're a business, if they could make it work for them who knows how they could use it. Teleportation for travel alone would be good money.

[evasives]

From a capital standpoint, no, I do not blame them either. But I would not trust them not to abuse it.
