[ someone's been dwelling on the aerie but, like, not in a traumatic way. cracks proverbial knuckles. ]
I had a conversation with Johann Grey, shortly before the gods were freed in the Aerie. My impression is that he had little to do with the Aerie's creation as a universe, and the version of him we saw in there was a position placed upon him by the god that also put us there in the first place. It is something to consider when we examine the roles placed upon all of us, how much of that might be a god’s perspective. He suspected it was largely the work of at least two of them and all but confirmed Gold’s involvement - which given the glowing eyed nature of the kestrel powers, makes sense.
I have caught up and see that James Henries is responsible for the death of the Blue god, but Grey had a friend in the Gold one in the Aerie. He claimed Gold was responsible for the Aerie, as well as the fact that we seem to have woken him up in the first place.
It was the recent expedition in May to Antarctica that woke up the Gold god. It would further explain the surge of golden eyed monsters that followed that earthquake and how they sought us out as Displaced. Ball's followers believe the gods are asleep, that previous god-touched individuals were left with the responsibility of keeping the world safe. We see signs of this throughout the history of this planet, with the hieroglyphics in New Cairo and the murals in New Oslo (my understanding of this world's timeline dates the art of these two societies at thousands of years apart). We, the Displaced, are the first evidence of the god-touch the cultists have seen in a long while. I realize this is old news for some of us, but we are constantly welcoming new numbers, so bear with it.
For those who were not able to reach under the volary, six of the gods were in bird cages, looking like wisps of color. The Gold one freely fluttered around Grey much like a bird. Blue is dead and we have pieces of him in us, Gold is awake, which means there are still five of them out there, presumably still asleep. Johann Grey was searching for a god in Antarctica, and we know he wanted to use Spinetail to wake Blue up. We can theorize he may be looking for the rest.
I do not trust Grey. But I do not believe he is an active threat to us. We do not seem to be his targets in the grand scheme so much as occasional collateral. I hope we can understand the difference, as I am not saying he is not dangerous, but his motivations seem more chaotically selfish than outright evil. He is aware of who we are and used Cassius to predict our continuous arrival in the Marianas Trench, and we know he worked with Henries, as well as Riverstone on Project Spinetail. They were first introduced in 2273 by an ancestor of Meredith Ling, the current CEO. A UN backed facility in New Omsk was used in a cover up for the Spinetail earthquake’s epicenter, which suggests UN involvement as well, but given how tightly Riverstone works with the UN, this is not a surprise. What concerns me more is what Riverstone or the UN might want with a god.
And Grey may still have Judas. He is not a safe man, and tracking him down still presents danger, even if his goals lie elsewhere.

I am going to pistol whip the next one of you jackdaws that so much as breathes about the moon.
Need I remind y'all that the entire population of the planet was just treated as harshly as the rest of us, with one Hell of a lot less context? Whatever else is going on, there are folks that are going to need our support way more than the lot of us need answers. We're in a unique position to help them and it's a Hell of a lot less disgraceful than whatever y'all think you're accomplishing by squabbling with each other.
The newest batch of Displaced are landing in New Tokyo. I'm going there tomorrow to start helping out with anyone returning from the Aerie so their arrival ain't marred by half so much chaos as all that. If you're of a mind to help, be at the gate at 0600.
If you have nothing useful or constructive to say, keep your goddamn thoughts, opinions and otherwise to yourself. I ain't got a lick of patience for any bullshit right now.
Hicks out.

[ Don't mind him, just ignoring the trauma of their recent sojourn to another world and another life by giving himself a project that can realize the stuff he was talking about weeks ago- ]
a little while before we got interdimensionally kidnapped (again) i'd started thinking of ways to get to the moon to kick down henries' door, because i assumed that the only place a rich immortal nutcase would decide to live is there.
now that we've got confirmation and i don't have to sound like a crazy person, that's exactly what i want to accomplish. i've theorized with some people that there might be a gate on the moon. if so, probably needs some kind of activation. if not, well. i think there's some evidence we've made them before, but somebody can correct me if i'm wrong.
either way it requires getting there, so there's some options
1) legal: extremely high shuttle fare, huge pain, potentially registers us in a system via ticketing and security feeds
2) less legal: stow away on shuttles, run the risk of discovery, need to understand access points and means of egress
3) questionably legal: build our own shuttle, attract unwanted attention doing so, there's probably a log somewhere of registered shuttles which would mean fake credentials
4) definitely illegal: steal a shuttle, earn bad press, possible arrest?
what i'm looking for is people who want to see this through and don't mind the distinct possibility of getting their hands dirty. hit me up if you're interested.

Cassius.
Doctor Grey.

I'm looking for all of them. What do we know?

I hear Cassius is reaching out to you again.
You should all realize that this is a bad idea. For those of you who are newer, you need to understand that Cassius brought about the deaths of thousands. Whatever he's offering you, it won't be worth the price you'll have to pay. Or that others will have to pay for you.

Hey.
I need volunteers for power practice. I'll be tweaking your senses. Nothing permanent, I'll stop when you say so, and I'll owe you a beer or a favor. The favor can be food.
Let me know.

Hey. Few things
1. I was dead, then I was undead, now I'm un-undead, ama. If anyone with smarts wants to wrestle that into the grand scheme of things please do, I'd love to understand how the fuck
2. If I have to live in this camp dorm from hell for another week I'm going to kill everyone else and then myself. Anyone got a spare room? A couch? Bathroom with a lock? Temporary's fine, I'll figure something permanent later
3. I have no money and I want a drink. Or a burger. Looking for takers, this day and any other day. Pay you back as soon as I've got the e-coin.
4. General recommendations for places to go and things to see, hit me
