URGENT BULLETIN.

[ The following is secured to the network at 9 PM, via an ID that has not been present on it yet, a simple non-interactive bulletin. It will not be responded to, although imPorts are free to engage in discussion amongst themselves. ]

ATTENTION IMPORTS!

It is come to our attention that Unsettled imPorts have been allowed to skirt our regulations regarding what benefits are and aren't received up to this month, which is a dire oversight on the part of your liaisons and supervisors. Upon discovering that the budget for imPort benefits received far exceeded the amount needed for the current amount of Registered imPorts we have on file, further investigation showed that many similar oversights have been provided for non-Registered imPorts off the books that have not been sanctioned by those of us outside of Cape Canaveral.

We are getting to the bottom of this and are making cuts in the budget where they should have been already: Non-Registered imPorts were never meant to be receiving these benefits for as long as they have been. Furthermore, upon questioning your current imPort Affairs Liaison, Captain Parc Holiday, he could not account for every inconsistency we've since discovered and showed some alarming signs of blunted affect and apparent memory gaps; those inconsistencies he claimed he could recall he admitted to committing.

Make no mistake, we in the Federal Government sympathize with the imPort plight, but we cannot afford to let free resources be given out illegally; Captain Holiday does not have the authority to make such decisions. Effective immediately he has been removed from his position as ImPort/Government Affairs Liaison and has been moved into a maximum security psychiatric facility to further study his symptoms. Until we can locate a suitable replacement or Captain Holiday proves himself truly fit to resume his duties, we are promoting Lieutenant Ananke to Captain so she can operate in his stead and will be keeping an eye on the situation as well as her performance to determine what other changes may prove necessary.

Necessary means a lot of things to different people. But really- isn't what's necessary to "you"'s all that matters? I feel the States have the same view. [Also sorry he has been around Dio~ You know, in jail, chillin'. You're used to those you meet here in jail, right?]

[Just makes it all the more obvious who he can talk into joining him later, honestly. So it's not all bad.]

I've not much use for money, fortunately. But that doesn't mean I don't pay attention to the state of people who do.

Consider me just an observer.

[Talk into? Oh honey, just ask. Hisoka will say yes as long as it seems entertaining.]

Money makes things a lot easier. [Well, if you're NOT registered money is almost mandatory. While being registered you are given a lot more... Eugh... all the more reason to register Chrollo would say. Which reminds him.]

Mind if I ask- are you Registered?

[diociopath]

[He'll figure that out soon enough.]

Registered? Hardly. Even their new policies couldn't convince me.

[debauchewy]

Hm, same. [A thoughtful pause.]

I suppose I'm starting to understand the reasoning behind it... I really should just look at it like I did the Hunter Exam. [A chuckle.]

[diociopath]

Hunter exam?

[debauchewy]

Something in my world that anyone wishing to become a hunter must pass. A yearly thing, and it comes with quite the benefits should to make it through.

[diociopath]

I see...so even there.

[Dammit, society sucks. It was great being separated from it for so long.]

I haven't been obligated to obey society's rules for over a hundred years. It's infuriating, having them try to impose them upon me now, after all that.

[debauchewy]

[Oh boy does he agree. Especially since it's been "decided" he'll be rehabilitated and better himself after this. Ugh...]

The amount of control they have over us is pretty impressive, I'll give them that. If it wasn't so hindering I'd be swayed by it.

[diociopath]

They have to. The import population, to them, is something to be feared...no matter how good the intentions of these "heroes" are.

Fear is simply what drives the common man.

[debauchewy]

Drives him to great things sometimes. [Smiles.] Weeds out the weak and brings out the strong. [Ahhh- he can think of so many examples.]

[diociopath]

Only if it can be conquered.

When overcome by it, they're effectively useless.

[MUDA.]

That's why this government will never rule over the likes of me, regardless of how much power they hold. Their fear will be their undoing.

[debauchewy]

Fear not something you bother with then? Ah- not anymore? [Dio was- young once, right? He- WAS human after all... even if he's not exactly sure what he is now.]
