[ God, he really wishes he could post anonymously. Why isn't that a thing? At least it's just text. Anyway, alright. Introductions. ]

Hey everyone. My name's John Dixon. I just came in with the new arrivals, so sorry in advance for the dumb questions. Anyone who's been here a while is probably so used to this, you don't think about it anymore. At least I hope that's how it works. So: superpowers.

That's new to me. That's comic books and movies where I'm from.

The empathy thing, when you touch someone. Is there a way to turn that off? Short of just never touching anyone again, because in the safehouse, that's more complex than you'd think.

[ If it's done deliberately, fine. He still doesn't like it, but it's not terrible if he knows it's coming. He'd like to avoid getting taken by surprise. ]

And the other powers, the [ how does he even... ] blue ones. In our chests.

You all have them. How did you train yourself to use them?

Last thing, unrelated: I'm looking for work. I'm good with computers, building hardware and software engineering. I can fix pretty much anything (as long as I have the tools, which I don't yet). But honestly at this point I don't care if you just need an errand boy, as long as it pays.

Thanks.

I've put some plans together for some safehouse improvement. One of the biggest complaints was a lack of privacy & nowhere secluded to withdraw to, particularly when trying to sleep. Some people mentioned not being able to sleep whatsoever around strangers.

I'm thinking one wall of stacked sleep pods, and then the opposite wall with (fewer) sleep boxes for people who might be more claustrophobic. We should net out to having more beds than we started with thanks to the vertical space sleep pod stacking.

I know this doesn't solve the overall issue for people who don't want to be stuck in the safehouse to begin with, but I think it might make things a little easier.

Does anyone have any issue with me starting construction this week? I'll only be doing one wall at a time, so everyone currently staying there should have minimal disruption to their sleep.

A few features I plan on incorporating, in case anyone's curious about the functionality:
-interior locks & curtains
-exterior emergency release in case of fire etc
-temperature control & vented airflow
-personal lighting
-noise cancellation

I'm open to suggestions, but I may or may not be able to incorporate them in version 1.

( feel free to collaborate with anyone, but please take private threadjacks to personal contact posts for the sake of my inbox, rip. )

I'm renting a space in New Beijing for a project I'm calling Falcon Works, and I could use some help.

There are a lot of Displaced with good ideas or projects that they don't have the resources to work on — metalwork, electronics, soft crafts, what have you. I want to build a community workshop space where anyone can come in and use the tools as long as you bring your own parts.

I'm looking for volunteers to supervise the space so it can be open while I'm working (I work 9 to 4 New Beijing time on Monday through Thursday), but also people who'd like to teach classes to the community in any of these areas (or related areas that use the same kinds of tools or need a workshop space).

Community members will be able to come in for free in certain hours, or pay for memberships to come in more frequently. But the Displaced can use the workshop whenever you want.

Let me know if you're interested in helping out — supervising, teaching, or funding. I've got some money put away to put towards this, and I'm looking around at grants, but if anyone would like to donate equipment or money to get it running, that'd be welcome too.

[ ooc; further details here. rey can hire a few full-time employees for this who'd probably be able to start within the next IC month, and anyone is free to say they did machining, lasercutting, 3-d printing, sewing, etc. at falconworks once it gets going. i'm slow on getting it up in locations, and i wanted to give people a chance to get on board and collaborate / expand the idea before putting it into locations. ]

[ 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.

@jack.miller & @lance.sweets  
@lance.sweets
Hello everyone. We have some information we’ve been putting together, and with the recent reveal about Riverstone’s suspicions it seemed like it was important to bring it up as soon as possible.

@jack.miller
We’ve confirmed this information to the best of our ability by sharing memories with each other, and wouldn’t be sharing it with everyone if we weren’t pretty convinced we were onto something.

@lance.sweets
There are portions of this which we know for sure, but others are speculation and we’ll make everything as clear as possible.

[And that said--]

This started because I was looking into James Henries, since he’s a public figure and so a basic public search was an easy place to start. Unsurprisingly I didn’t come up with anything new from that, just the same information about the fact that he was a CEO of Giles Bell and that he died in 2303 at the age of 68, but that’s suspicious in itself; why was there so little information about the CEO of a massive corporation?

A scandal would probably be the simplest answer, and there happens to be a piece of interesting information that one of the Displaced received and which is contained in the message compilation. It mentions that, along with various other questionable choices, Henries was using Giles Bell’s resources to research cloning technology. @jyn.erso had mentioned to me that Johann Grey had clones, and so I wondered if there might be a connection there.

@jack.miller
There definitely has to be some kind of connection, as I can confirm that James Henries and Johann Grey look identical. Whether this means they’re actually the same person, I wouldn’t be so quick to assume, but they both seem to be making use of cloning technology in some way. When I interacted with Grey in-person, he implied that he met Cassius all the way back during the Xelkoven War. At the time I didn’t know what to make of it, especially given how he came across as so generally unhinged, but with all of these revelations I’m now wondering if he was being completely literal.

@lance.sweets
Cassius told @robert.plant that Johann was over 400 years old, which aligns with this information; the Xelkov war started in 2095 and it’s 2512 now, so if Johann is 400+ then he could have been around during the war. As far as Henries goes, the timing is a little strange; he was 68 in 2303, so born about 2235, and was CEO at some point in the middle of that. The main noteworthy thing that coincides with this timing is the banning of human cloning, and so Henries’ use of Giles Bell to that end makes sense; if he and Johann were running out of clones due to the ban, they would need a way to make more.

@jack.miller
My guess is that for one reason or another, both of them were making use of these duplicated bodies, and Grey was doing so in order to extend his lifespan. The nitty-gritty of how that’s even biologically possible I’m not as clear on, but I’m not sure how else he could have survived this long.

@lance.sweets
So in summary, what we know for sure is that James Henries and Johann Grey are physically identical, Johann is hundreds of years old and has clones, and Henries was briefly CEO of Giles Bell and used that position to work on cloning technology. Everything else is speculation, but it fits logically together.

Additional questions about this would be:
Does Riverstone know about this, considering their questions about Johann and their speculation of Henries’ involvement in our situation?
How did Henries become CEO? This was a job he supposedly got because of family.
How does cloning work in regard to maintaining some sort of individual personality? Is it possible to shift memories and experiences from one clone to another?

@jack.miller
Cloning isn’t something that exists back in my world, but if anyone has their own experiences from back home to contribute here, it might help fill in some of these blanks.

@lance.sweets
That goes for any other information from your time here, like things that might not have seemed important at the time, or which might fit together with--or even disprove--this. Whatever you know about any of this could be incredibly useful.

Now, for my part. I ain't a man of violence, but if I ever meet the fella or dame that outlawed smoking here I'd sure give them a stern piece of my mind.

For the newcomers, pleasure to meet y'all. If you're still in the process of getting settled, I'm happy to swing by to help get you situated.

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!

I've found a firm that may be willing to represent us. Unfortunately it's becoming clear through my conversation with them that we'd have to disclose the truth about our IDs if we wanted to enter into any kind of partnership with them. In a nutshell, anything legally binding could become nullified without some extremely specific phrasing to accommodate our ID situation. Given that Riverstone finding out about Rey's fake ID is what set all of this into motion, an inquiry into the source of the IDs for the displaced would likely be inevitable. The law firm I was speaking with already started gently probing onto the subject and I haven't even entered a formal agreement with them yet. I haven't given them any information about it yet whatsoever.

This means we'd need to make a group decision to divulge the nature of our IDs to this law firm. We would have attorney-client privilege so this information would be considered legally confidential. Despite that, it's still a big choice to make and I don't have the right to make it for us as a whole one way or the other.

I'm going to put up a poll. Please only respond once. I'll only proceed if there's an overwhelming majority in favor of continuing.

It may be worth keeping in mind that when the truth of our IDs does inevitably come out, having an already established source of legal representation could help us navigate that. It's also worth keeping in mind that the version of the truth we tell doesn't have to be the entire one.

Poll #24692 Legal Representation Decision
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 17

View Respondents

Should we disclose the nature of our IDs to the law firm that is willing to represent us in our future legal proceedings?

View Answers

Yes
1 (5.9%)

No
16 (94.1%)


UPDATE: By overwhelming response, we won't be partnering with any law firms. I'll still have them review the contract provided by Riverstone for any glaring loopholes, but beyond that I'll refund any excess donated funds. We can come back to this idea if/when the nature of our IDs becomes public.

@tony.stark
hey, tony here.

rey and i just left the meeting with riverstone. long story short: they want test subjects if we want answers to who they suspect is bringing all of us here. they aren't willing to budge on this. what a shocker.

why are they so interested in us? apparently, they want to know how we were able to disrupt the simulation back in may. given judas is still a credible threat, they're claiming to utilize what information they gain from the tests to potentially create a preventative measure against similar attacks in the future as well as help us learn more about our biology.

@rey.solo
they also have their own reasons to be interested in the people who brought us here. riverstone suspects that the people who have been dropping us off and the person who prevented my arrested when i changed my name are one in the same.

according to them, this person — not a group, a person — may have been involved in the marianas trench incident that riverstone believes we’re also connected to. apparently, good riverstone scientists were killed during that experiment. I know some of the displaced have already speculated that the marianas trench may be connected to us. riverstone agrees.

this person was never punished for their role in the experiment, and they’ve been operating extrajudicially. they seem to want to punish this person for the people they got killed. in other words, i think they’re on our side. really.

@tony.stark
if you think that sounds too good to be true, there's more.

they've agreed to a NDA which will be included in the consent forms for volunteers. i've looked it over. it's airtight, but i just want to take a moment to point out that this is one of the largest corporate entities in this world. they have both the power and the means to do whatever the fuck they want with the data they collect without us ever knowing. so with that said, they're going to be conducting interviews to see what kind of tests we feel are appropriate. i strongly advise against any that will require a sample of our DNA or any that will be performed under general anesthesia.

full access to the data gathered will be given to the participants and relevant riverstone personnel. they've also agreed to let us have representatives present for the procedures.

@rey.solo
and they’ve shown no interest in sharing the data they gather with other parties. it seems to me like they’ve got their own fathier in this race.

we should think about what these tests might turn up about some of our collective powers. i know a number of us have been trying and failing to learn more about our dreams, about the empathy bond, and about the objects in our chests. it might be tempting to use the resources that riverstone is offering to get some of the answers we’ve been looking for.

if anyone is considering consenting to tests about these, i do think we should talk about it because these are powers that all of us share.

@tony.stark

i don’t trust them and i won’t be participating in any of the tests, but i realize that there are differing opinions among us. for whatever it’s worth, i’m going to stay here to make sure that they won’t try and pull anything funny during the procedures.

for the ones who are interested in volunteering and want extra legal security, i hear @ian.fowler is cooking something up.

I'm going to be researching and interviewing law firms to represent the displaced that intend to participate in Riverstone testing.

This doesn't mean I agree with the decision, and I won't be participating, but I genuinely believe that it's worth trying to protect them legally if they're adamant about doing it.

If you're interested, here are the things I'll be asking them to look into

-clear terms that all harvested organic material is the property of the participant of the study, but granting permission to Riverstone to complete a pre-approved list of tests they communicate in advance
-any genetic material has to either be returned or destroyed upon completion of the testing, and what exactly completion means
-PII needs to be considered confidential and shouldn't be stored by Riverstone beyond a specifically allotted time period after testing, with the exception probably being people still employed with the company
-we'd need some kind of statement on their security policies or data maintenance in the event that they're conveniently hacked
-we'd need an airtight nondisclosure agreement that includes our interests, not just theirs
-maybe some kind of declaration of intent with the stipulation that anything outside of the specified use cases be approved by all parties involved
-an agreement to release all findings to the participants of the study, or a specified list of contacts in the event that participant can't be located

I'm aware it's entirely possible Riverstone could just do whatever they wanted behind closed doors regardless, but I'm hoping this will help dissuade more blatant abuse and also give participants a leg to stand on if we find any evidence they breached contract. I also believe that if they refuse these terms, they have undeniably nefarious intent that should officially and realistically dissuade the Displaced from participating at all.

The point of this is post is to ask if anyone would be willing to donate toward the legal costs. I think this will benefit the displaced as a whole even if not everyone gets involved; if we have to have personal information given out to a mega-corporation anyway we may as well bundle in one more person who's fighting for our interests.

I'll be donating what I can myself. I'll also inquire about pressing Riverstone for a contribution toward the legal fees, since they're so interested in testing us. They may or may not be willing to negotiate on that point.

Any amount you're willing to contribute would be appreciated.

Thanks.

[this is not nill’s bag of chips. she hasn’t addressed the network in... six months? right, not since heine left. so this is a much better thing to talk about than losing her best friend and also the only other person from her world. this is loads better. just asking people for stuff.]

@nill.klein
We need some new supplies for the new arrivals. [good, solid start. she’s got this.] Any clothes or toiletries you can spare. Some of the things we have are getting run down, and we could use a better variety of sizes for clothing.

And any cloth that can be turned into sheets, too. If anyone knows how to sew, that would also be helpful. I know a little about sewing, but I’m not very good at it. Any sheets I make will probably be a little crooked.

[okay, the hard part is done.

Ren is here for support, so when Nill finishes her thoughts, he steps in to wrap it up.]

@ren.amamiya
It's rough showing up the way we do, so Nill and I thought we could make things better, rather than just limiting it to the basics. She did a good job outlining what we need, but we're willing to take suggestions if anyone has them. Ah--we also have another question.

@nill.klein
What are some things you wish you’d had when you arrived? Or what did you wish was in the safehouse? I don’t think we can do anything extravagant, but we can try to make it more welcoming when everything is up and running again.

so everyone knows shit sucks right now
since i've been here i've seen a lot of talk about what we should do, but it seems like everyone has a different idea
some people want to start superhero teams and some people want to require training for everyone new who shows up
some of us want to go public, some don't, some people trust morningstar and some people think they're shady
some people are just saying "fuck it" and think we should worry about ourselves
you know, all that shit

so i guess i just wanted to crowdsource
get everyone's thoughts in one place or whatever
because it seems like fucked up shit keeps happening and since i got here, it's getting worse

this is probably going to start a whole argument about how much responsibility we even have when we've just been dragged here without a choice
or people saying no one should expect us to act as a group but
idk
here's your chance to be all opinionated

I hope everyone's doing as well as can be expected, at the very least, after everything that happened. Please remember that although rebuilding is important and many of you may be involved in those efforts, it's just as important to give yourselves enough time to recover physically and mentally, so make sure you're getting some rest.

Now that things have calmed down a little, and with the election coming up, I've been trying to get a sense of who the main groups and important individuals are here. A lot of information seems kind of obscure or contradictory, so I'm interested in hearing more first-hand opinions and experiences from anyone who's willing to share. Specifically, I'd like to know more about the past actions of those like Morningstar, the corporations, politicians or other important individuals, that sort of thing, as well as any noteworthy interactions we may have had with any of the as a group; basically anything that will help me get a sense of who the major actors are and what their motivations might be both in general and in regard to us.

[And, because whenever he posed questions like this in Hadriel someone would ask, he decides to add a little context.]

If anyone is wondering what I plan to do with the information, at home I'm a criminal profiler with the FBI, for those of you that means anything to. For those it doesn't, basically my job is to investigate major crimes--murder, usually--and use whatever evidence exists to determine a criminal's behavior, and therefore predict what they might do in the future or potentially outright identify them. The same principles can be applied on a larger scale, so I'm hoping to get a better idea of the situation and where people and organizations stand.

[As a last side note, because this also came up a lot--]

Also, to be clear, just because I'm FBI doesn't mean I care about minor crimes at all. You don't have to be careful about letting it slip that you're engaged in some sort of nefarious activity as long as it isn't murder or something, and another dimension is a little far outside of my jurisdiction anyway.

@eugene.hicks (dawn of the 3rd day, xxx hours remain)  
Folks. For those of you who ain't met me yet, my name's Eugene Hicks, late of 1947 on Earth. I'm a medic and a former paratrooper — a trained soldier from those of you who ain't from my world — if that helps ease your mind some given what I'm proposing.

I'm looking for volunteers to accompany me in the rescue of a group of civilians in approximately one hour, as I believe time is of immediate essence. Not twenty minutes ago, I treated a young girl who said she escaped from a cave underneath the city where she reckons some fifteen or so others are being kept by the Arachne as a food source. Seems like they're being cocooned, possibly neutralized with some sort of paralytic. Kassandra and I scouted out the entrance, and we reckon so long as we can get people up to the street we stand a good chance of getting them all out.

Combat or medical experience only, please. If you'd like to help out in some other capacity, we're going to need people to get trucks and medical supplies from either Morningstar or PRESERVE to transport and treat the civilians afterwards.

I'm willing to bet this ain't the only place in the city folks are being held in such a manner, so another thing we'll need is anyone who can scout out other areas, track these monsters or investigate civilian disappearances that seem suspect in this especial way. If there's anyone among us who'd like to step up and take responsibility for organizing other squads, please feel free to do so in this forum.

Hicks out.


( ooc: peep the link for a miniplot! anyone is invited to join in, i'll be posting a log for it probably tomorrow once i have an idea of who would like to participate. please feel free to use this as a jumping off point too for your own squad organization if you'd like to go that way instead, as both basilisks and anglers will also be taking live humans for food! gene is also 100 percent okay with someone else taking the lead on his group, since he's just a lowly sergeant, he's just assuming that most of the in-game 'leaders' are probably already busy and is stepping up to the plate himself haha. chat me up at [plurk.com profile] vitarays if you want to hammer out some deets before you jump in! )

@clarke.griffin | may 28, 2512 (after event start)  
I'll be the first to admit that I wish we had done more in preparation. It was my fault in assuming that we had no way of preparing for this outcome. I still think that's true—but setup in the future based on this can be handled later. Right now, we need to work with what we've got.

We've done this before. I'm stepping up to do it again because I've called in some friends from PRESERVE and they're setting up a station here in Red Wings. We've got medical supplies, beds, and any halfway care that can be managed. We're also reasonably fortified. For now.

But this is happening all over. So, here's a place to discuss.

1. What have you noticed about the monsters? Any weaknesses?

2. Any sign of how to stem the flow? Is there a flow?

3. Actually, this isn't a question. Don't burn the monsters if you can help it. If these are like the last ones, that could be a problem.

4. If you get samples, store them well and we'll figure out what to do after this.

Otherwise? Use this as an organized way to discuss how to approach this. Some of you haven't been here for this. But it's worked. Let's use the resource we have.

One more thing. If anyone seems sick, holding on to them might help. It might cure them and bring them back to how they were before. We might be the cure to whatever's coming. Keep that in mind.

EDIT: I'm asking that we put a moratorium on discussion of training, whether obligatory or otherwise, until after this crisis. I think healthy debate and discussion is good, and we can even look at reworking our welcome materials to find a good middle ground. But now isn't the time.

I'm happy to set up that discussion then and take part, if you'd like. But—again—now isn't the time.

[OOC: This is the Clarke's "let's discuss in one place" post that she's done a few times. I won't necessarily be tagging everyone who tags in!]

I have been tasked by my employers to assemble a field team to collect and investigate some abandoned research down on Adelaide Island to the south.

Some of my colleagues will be joining us. They are men of science.
Our main purpose will be to ensure they can do their jobs adequately, though we may be assigned other tasks as required.

Please register your interest with me along with any useful skills that may relate so that I may forward it to my colleagues.
I have been told to dress warmly.

Should you decide to volunteer, I ask that you swear to be on your best behavior.
You will be coming on my recommendation, and I do not desire to make excuses for anyone while I am working.


Or any other time.

Stark came by to move my body in cafe I'm stuck at in New Amsterdam. When we touched, I got kicked out of the sim. Not for long, but long enough to know what happened. It doesn't work unless you're constantly touching someone outside the sim. I'm back in now.
That means it's possible to break out for a while, even if it's not permanent. I know it's been hard, and we don't have much of a choice but to keep going. It's not much, but this is something we can work with.

[ he'll always remember the time they shared feelings, Tony. ]

Hey
Stop me if this is a stupid offer, I'm still trying to figure out how this whole thing works, but
I heard about the whole gate problem, and the whole simulation thing, there's probably more going on too that I don't know about yet
I'm an engineer
You guys might already have a few, but just in case you're shorthanded
If there's anything I can do to help, I want to

I can also apparently do a weird tools thing now so that's
something

edit: if anyone's in the market for crazy experiments in there
you guys glitch the sim when you do your chest thing, right?
anyone tried organizing a group glow-off? overwhelm the system with too much at once, DDOS it into crashing?
