Time. A weird kind of concept, isn't it? I've been thinking about it a lot lately…this whole "time" thing, the way the map's been laid out, and how this project came into fruition. I've been able to get a read on some stuff, and I've been transcribing notes from the company. Your app should have some new upgrades now thanks to a handful of factors none of which were my own ideas. I did the legwork, but the groundwork was provided. Thanks, you know who you are. We're rerouting for higher security, anonymity and the chance to overlap. Which means…what…? Here's a question for you. Where have you wanted to go more than anywhere in the worlds? A time, a place, anything like that. There's a theory about alternate timelines I might be looking into based on company research. What've we got to lose at this rate? Strip the defenses in the past, unveil the man behind the curtain in the present, secure the future. Someone told me this kind of thing was a lot of power to trust on you guys…but isn't that all we can do now? Trust each other and test the waters. No missions this month. I checked out everything in Respatrum and Bosuma and it seems that the people there are more self-sufficient than I anticipated which was nice. The subway's still up and running though. Coordinates will be incoming in a few days. I'm testing them out myself to make sure they're stabilized. Stay sharp.

Thank you.
I wasn't sure what to say, so I owe you.

[jurai]

Think nothin' of it

I didn't know if I should step in or not so I'm glad I went off gut instinct

[fiddlestick]

Aha, your instincts paid off.
I'm sure it comes as no surprise, but I'm really not great at confrontation with strangers.

[jurai]

Well I can't blame you

Talking to a faceless entity can put you into a state of high alert. Even masks give you more than just a blank icon

[fiddlestick]

Well, I mean, a mask can be pretty menacing too...

[You know, like the time your other self totally menaced Class VII. That sure was scary]

But yeah, state of high alert is right. Why did they think adding this would be a good idea?

[jurai]

[Masks have aesthetic unless they're blue and as effective as the Green Lantern's.]

...

You don't think they want us to start bein' suspicious of each other?

Do you?

[fiddlestick]

Why would they do that?

[jurai]

You seriously have to ask 'why' Retrospec would do something like that?

If people start using anon it'll spread seeds of doubt in us and break our united front


It's not like they've proven themselves to be perfect little angels to us

[fiddlestick]

Got me there.

But why would they want to break our united front? I thought we were supposed to take care of that Vanderwheele guy together. Dividing us seems counterproductive.

[jurai]

I don't know

Every post they've given us has always had a 'task' they've left to us and they congratulate us at the end

Like dogs who are given 'treats' in the form of the status quo


Who's to say an experiment testing our trust in each other isn't one of em?

[fiddlestick]

You raise a really good point. Disturbing, but good...

If it is test, I'm not sure how well I'll do.
