retrospec | (no subject)

Looks like some of you have been pretty busy. Mostly for the better, I think. I hope.

I've been talking to past employees, tracking them down now while things are falling into place. They still don't really know about their past history with the company, but the knowledge was still there if you can believe that. Ask a few questions, you can bait anybody into answering.

I can go into details later for anyone who's curious, but I'll keep this short and sweet. With the next string of programming and adjustments, we can have three tries to check into alternate timelines. Nothing will stick during those trials, but let's think about it this way. Check out a chain of events, see how it pans out, close the loops to make it a new reality.

When everything became about actual reality-bending, I'm not sure. I don't think this is what any of us signed up for, but what's done is done.

Mr. Murdock raised an interesting proposition that I think is worth considering. And a few other have, too, you know who you are. So the question is: what chains of events can we all agree on? A check is just that. It checks how things might go without actively ruining everything…I think. The power used might downgrade the more we check in which is why three's the limit, but the potential's there which is probably better than anything else.

Talk it through and get back to me. It's your future. You should get a say in it at this point.

I honestly have no idea.

Maybe hiding something in the past so we can find it in the future? Or if money is an issue to rebuild the company from scrap, but, you know, better, maybe we could go back in time like...a hundred years, open up stock thing or whatever, then bam, we have enough money for the resources we need to build everything up again.

I think those would be the two things off the top of my head of how we can make now better but keep all the growth so the future will be better?

I don't think money is the issue though. None of this is happening because we lack money.

Hiding something in the past so we can find it in the future is an interesting idea, though what would we be hiding and why... Plus how do you keep someone from finding it by accident in the mean time.

Well, I mean looking forward, eventually, cause I doubt the company was able to do this stuff without it, or hell, just to have so we don't have to worry about paying for college or whatever...

And that is a good question...Maybe hide it where only we could get it? Like, using our powers would be easy to get in but normal people would have to be insane to look there? Plus it would be super hard for them?

No. Al. We have three tries to figure out how to stop Vanderweele. We screw that up, forget going to college.

Yeah...good point, would be hard to do if vanderdick ruins stuff...

Anyway, How far underground can you go phasing before you need to worry? Cause, first thought, we hid it deep underground of city hall, that ought to have been built first right? So no one accidently runs into it when they dig foundations or w/e

Not that deep. A few yards. It kind of freaks me out tbh.

Fair enough, can only imagine the sort of things the brain comes up with "I'm being buried alive! What are you doing!" sort of deal.

Pretty much that! There's the part of my brain that worries I'll get lost down there.

yeaaahhh, don't blame ya, that shit would be scary even if you have powers.

How long did it take you to be super chill with going through walls and what not? Like, as in it's as casual as putting on socks for you.

I was pretty used to it within a month. But it took me a couple months to really start getting the hang of everything.
