So that's it?

[The ID reads Clark Kent. He's been told before that when he’s angry he stops putting an act and his identity shines through to those observant enough, so he decided against video or audio. But this whole think is making him so mad he wants to scream and he had to let some of it out somehow.]

We’re going to be used as political pawns? We’re going to let them claim our alliance in whichever way they prefer because we apparently didn’t meet a quota of people saved in Bulgaria?

We’re talking lives lost, people who got injured. We’re talking people who had lives and friends and family who will never see them again. And they are using them as numbers. Both sides are.

It makes me sick.

Yeah. [So much frustration in just a little word. But if Peej is one of the few he can really talk to and not keep a dual identity, then he might as well be open.]

I really, really hope that's not what we're facing. There's no negotiating with people like that.

I'd rather knock their teeth out for what they did in Nonah and at the maze event.

[ She hums thoughtfully on her end, trying to wrack up some theories. ]

They took their time, though. We've been here since mid-January. Were they prepping in those five months?

[He makes a face, glad this is an audio feed... but he can't deny he'd punch them into a wall if he got the chance as well. Or he'd, at least, really want to.]

Probably. Or gathering resources. Either way the fact that they took their time means they aren't just crazy people jumping at the chance to strike, they have it all planned out. If that's the case they won't stop at this. I get the feeling this is just the beginning.

[Always so reassuring.]

Which means the next time they hit, they're going to hit hard.

So we have to be ready. Problem is, I don't even know where to start.

I don't know yet either, but we will figure it out.

I guess we could do some patrolling, check in public spaces for more bombs and suspicious things... but honestly I had been hoping to keep the S-shield out for a while. At least until more new people get here.

Orlando doesn't host a Porter, which is why the location surprised me at first. I figured if there were any attacks, they would be focused on the cities with imPorts.

But it's not a bad idea to check them out anyway. You never know.

Maybe they wanted to see if we'd make the effort of getting there without the porter to help us out? It's all speculation at this point.

[ A frustrate groan. ]

I'm not going to like whatever comes next.

Yeah, whatever is coming it looks like it will be big. And not the good kind of big. But we'll cross the bridge when we get there.
