[ Video | Mirror!Network ]

[ The video starts with Kaneki sitting on an old couch, in a place that looks like an old warehouse. There are old kitchen appliances there as well, some seem to be in good shape, but most are broken and battered. He is also holding on to a file of sort, which he will be reading as he speaks ]

Last month we had a black-out and following that, someone released hundreds of criminals. Like it was mentioned before, someone heard German being spoken and Russian technology was found on the scene. Some of us decided to go after a couple of clues related to all of that, and that lead us to Liechtenstein. In Europe, yes, a Russian allied country and they speak German there. [ This was the first time he went to Europe, actually, and it was on a spy mission. There is something to say about that ]

We found a couple of things, which I believe you’d be interested in. [ he finally starts flipping through the pages of the folder he has in his hands ] The place we broke in was a laboratory and we found many references to the American technological company DARPA - known for the creation of the imPocreats that had attacked Philadelphia some months ago. The employees they referenced in these files, including those who helped creating imPocreat technology, either quit prior to the Philadelphia attacks or were fired after the fact and none of them work for DARPA. [ he looks back at the camera ] In fact, we found a few imPocreats submerged in tanks. They were experimenting on them in many different and kind of grotesque ways, but we aren’t sure what they were trying to do since there was no documentation. [ no way he is telling the network they actually stole one of those things. That’s something for later on. He is quick to go back to the file to continue reading it. ]

They also had documentation on Tony Stark's metahumans . It was mostly information that the public already knows, but it seems they have been experimenting on DNA with special interest in the idea of a metahuman gene. Along with this, we also found documentation on imPort powers, specifically what we have shown to the public before.

Finally, the foreign technology the laboratory was working on appeared to be Russian in nature. They have advanced and futuristic EMPs and Electronic Disruptors, and plans and prototypes for invisibility aeroplanes that appear to be able to achieve fuel efficiency for around-the-world journeys. [ Kaneki puts down the file and leans back in his seat, while one of his gloved hands reaches for the eyepatch covering the left eye and adjusts it ]

That's all. But if you have any questions, I can try answering. The USA government knows all of this, since we shared this information with them.

[ Note: Some sort of catch-up if you will! Misfire plot, which was followed by a Blackout and Prison break. The Prison break was investigated ICly by other characters and their findings can be found here. The mission Kaneki is talking about happened in private, but I’ve written everything down about how it all begun and what happened during it. The ImPocreat parts they stole are NOT available YET and no one but the members of this mission knows about it; this will be for a future plot, but for now it’s hidden. ]

[Holy shit, Kaneki.]

And you're surprised that I don't want to stay and make a happy home here.

[ghoulking]

[ These are awesome news, right?

He hums, a small smile sketching on his lips ] Not at all. Hopefully you won't be here for a very long time. [ like kaneki who has been here for almost 2 and half years ]

[ The Russians have been busy. ]

Which kind of imPort powers?

Video

[ghoulking]

If the power has been made public, it's there.

They seem to rely on American news and imPort craze to learn about us - and the native metahumans, too. [ so all those websites full of imPort pictures? The Fanport with panels of imPorts showing their powers? All of that is in the hands of the Soviets ]

video.

[magnitudes]

You forgot to mention how stunningly attractive I was the entire time, but I guess that other stuff you mentioned was important, too.

[ghoulking]

Some people would agree. [ a guard and a certain abbot. Sarissa you were a great spy ]

Specially with that suit. [ kanglider ]

not here.

( gwen doesn't have questions, but she does record the video for later reference. )

[darwinatrix]

The Soviets.

I suppose that was never much in doubt.

[ghoulking]

[ it was obvious thanks to the Russian nullifier left behind. But Kaneki still wonders why they'd bring that to a prison without any sort of super-powered people inside. It sounds awful convenient. ]

They have been behind a lot of things, for a long time now. [ and look, they just keep doing whatever they want and no one does much about it ]

[magnitudes]

I know, I know. I was seeing red, too. ( Badum tish. )

We just gotta soldier on and work through it together.

text, ID reads 'Playmaker'

[tacticianing]

If they're interested in DNA, could they be connected to the company that was attempting to obtain DNA samples from ImPorts at the latest swear-in?

[ghoulking]

There was nothing about that, however I wouldn't put that aside. It is an option. A very valid one.

[glowsferatu]

there is precedent
though perhaps not on this world
especially now that starks empowered have come into play the soviets could be looking for a way to equalize the playing field
or to overwhelm it

[the_caped_crusader]

We just got back, is this really something you had to run and tell everyone about?

[Does anybody know the meaning of discretion anymore?]

[ghoulking]

It has been almost a week since we got back and there was no word from the government as usual. This relates to all imPorts since we are all targeted by the Russians and in this past Swear In we had a company asking imPorts for their DNA. [ to make perfumes but Kaneki doesn't believe that not even for a second, specially now since it's clear the Russians are studying DNA and imPorts ]

I do think they shoul know, yes.

[glowsferatu]

Don't tell me you haven't learned anything about disclosure from that fiasco with Crane you got us into.

[ Kanaya that was a completely different Batman, how have you not figured that out yet. ]

information is good for the masses
and besides, this is America

freedom of information
freedom of press
free internet
freedom to leak
freedom to withhold
freedom to lie

give a man a fish and he eats for a day
tell a man about human experimentation and he can get started

[earlybird]

-Tt.- Like this isn't going to get leaked to the press?

[ Kaneki gets not one, but two disapproving Bats in his belfry. Robin's about as pleased as Batman is by the too-public announcement, tone colored with scorn.

(And here he almost thought you were a sensible one ///:<) ]

Tensions are high enough without someone here inevitably running their mouth and tipping the public off about how close Soviet tech is to being able to take out America's entire infrastructure.

[ Let alone the implications of the imPocreats and the metahuman data. It was a cluster of unsavory discoveries. ]

[glowsferatu]

How much do you know about what was going on this time last year? If you were familiar with it, or lived through it like the natives have, you might see why those sort of capabilities are something the public should be concerned about.

There is a lot of precedent here, and every indication that the Soviets have once again made an attack here.

[ghoulking]

[ he is 100% sure if Batman had agreed, so would Damian, so Kaneki is also 100% in the business of not caring about his disapproving look ]

We should only let your very close friends know and when imPorts are attacked yet again - because we have been messed up with nonstop ever since December, so I'm certain it's not going to stop - we will all just come forward and say we knew about that, but we just felt like being condescending and that no one but us can handle the truth.

[Oh my god why are all of you having this fight in public?]

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I agree with the old man.

Kind of.

Look, I'm not saying that this information shouldn't be out there, but like couldn't we have done something more... anonymously?

[Terry really doesn't want to go back to jail thanks.]

[ghoulking]

I know you do. [ It's not even surprising. ]

I'm not forcing anyone from the team to post with their own accounts. [ SERIOUSLY GUYS, Anon is an option ]

he'd private this but nothing is discretionary

[incogneto]

What do you mean DARPA? As far as I know, from my Earth, that was an agency created under the Department of Defense, the American government should have already been overseeing this.

Is the facility in Lichtenstein still available for visiting or is everything under red tape? Do you have copies of all the documents and photographs of the laboratory?

this post is already full of people who don't bother with that it's alright

[ghoulking]

I admit I don't know much about DARPA. All I can tell you is about their branch, Otherworldly Technologies Organization (OTO), and that this was actually the organization we infiltrated in.

Which is located in a Russian-ally country. [ if it is a government agency then... yeah. What was it doing there? ] The government knew Liechtenstein had caught American technology, but we weren't told how they learned about it and who is involved. They only told us about this specific target, actually. [ so the government knew and is involved. To what extent it's still a mystery ] But DARPA and its employees ARE mentioned by name. We have a list of those names.


And we have duplicates of all our findings and we also have a video feed of the mission itself. We recorded it with the mental link to the network. But I'm guessing the laboratory has realized someone was there, by now. [ not "guessing". They did come in right in their faces, so they KNOW someone was there ]

[helpline]

Invisible jets! Now this is all getting properly comic book, I'm here for this. [ and now that the levity is out of the way, the Doctor gets a bit serious. ]

Did you get pictures of the imPocreates? You might not have been able to tell what they were doing, but others of us might be more useful.

[ghoulking]

We really were missing those. We already have hoovercars, after all.

Yes, we did. In fact, we recorded the whole thing with the mental link to the network. [ Darlene has that feed saved somewhere, but he is sure she is willing to share ]

I'd like to speak to you about something, Doctor- do you remember that Morse-coded message on the majority Report back in... August, I believe.
