Alright kids, listen up. Here's what we're doing.

Plan A - Lance, you look into shipping artifacts to a volunteer displaced on the moon. Anxiety Potter has 2, Drake has 1, we need a fourth. Chime in if you got one. If it seems secure and viable, do it. The hipster and his girlfriend can draft up the Ikea instructions.

Plan B - If shipping isn't viable, Stark, you already volunteered for a shuttle party. Be on deck to pick up the goods and hop on board for the return trip. If you get punted off we go to plan C.

Plan C - Jimmy's willing to throw his Bezos money at us to charter a private trip once society's functional again. It's a safety net option, but it kind of depends on the human race not collectively freaking out after the whole Second Life fiasco. It also means everybody's gonna have to slow their roll for a few weeks. Boo hoo.

Plans D, E, and F are stupid. Everybody knows who we are, nobody's strolling through TSA after a threat level red. Nobody's stealing an entire freaking space ship without getting caught, don't ruin Hanukkah in July for the rest of us. We build our own rocket and we're gonna get the future air force scrambling F-15s in about six seconds.

If none of that works, we'll circle back to the dumb ones.

Everybody shut up and leave each other alone. Opinions are like assholes. Nobody cares and toilet paper doesn't exist anymore. If you're not here to volunteer or talk logistics, don't talk. Nobody's stopping you from planning your own birthday party mooncation. Hell, first one there wins a prize.

If you have feedback, put it in the suggestion box in my office. Schedule all appointments through my secretary. Please don't make Jimothy a thing. I'm too old to live like that.


EDIT: If you got a specific reason you wanna get to the moon or questions for Jimmy, head on over here. Run it by Jason. He'll see what he can do. Maybe save us a trip.

So, where's your office and who's your secretary?

It sounds like most of these things hinge on things that aren't possible.

Plan A requires a volunteer who isn't determined to get back down to Earth or who actually wants to help.

Plan B won't work because he'll be turned away, as confirmed by @dick.grayson.

Plan C probably requires us exposing that we'd be going to the moon at all.

I think it comes down to what we're willing to risk at this stage. It sounds like that's the biggest concern right now. Maybe if it's worth the risk, or if we should be focusing on the fact that we're back and we don't know what brought us to our second experience like that.

Alternate version of plan A might be to try to get one person to the moon, preferably someone as under the radar as possible, and either send them or have them bring what they need to open a gate.

[Because he's realizing it might be a lot easier to worry about getting one person to the moon in a legitimate way, then get around having to bother with the rest of it by making a gate.]

confirming that again. they'll be tracking who gets to the moon.
for what it's worth, i think this can wait. there are people on the ground suffering right now.

Most of your plans involve logistics that we can't pull off right now without risking the rest of the group and ignoring their concerns, or did you miss the recent Riverstone drama?

But thanks for seeing me as spam.
strove: (I guess I am a cockroach like murphy)

Maybe consider the words of the guy who's working out our logistics.

From the sounds of it, he wants you to make plans that already don't work work and assumes pointing out that they've already fallen through in some way is arguing. It's probably not worth it right now.

you said this was about talking logistics. from what i've seen, no one here has started a fight yet. i'm verifying that what clarke is saying is correct.
strove: (or rather: most were herbivores)

[personal profile] strove 2020-12-18 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a part of this group. Ergo, I'm a part of the plans. Someone has to consider "what we're willing to risk" because that's at the heart of every single one of these discussions. Any logistics should hinge on that.

You realize that there are privacy filters, right? If you just wanted to talk this out with the people you decided you wanted the input from, you could've limited it to them, or messaged them privately.

Give it a try in the future.

Thanks, though I mostly suggested it because I don't think I'm going to be able to accomplish my part of plan A. It may fall apart immediately at the point of someone being willing to stay on the moon until they can open a gate.

But I can make sure of that before we try altering the plan.


[So, sort of compromise, he's just suddenly a bit discouraged about the original idea even though it definitely seemed like the easiest.]

No, you won't. Make sure to tell me that my input isn't welcome next time if you won't use a privacy filter. Unlike you, I like to pay attention and gather information.

logistics include discussing pitfalls we could run into.
being tracked or flagged when we arrive is a pitfall.
that's jimmy's concern, and that's who you're all falling all over yourselves to get to. it's worth noting.
