You guys actually trust these people to put you into space? I bet we're all just glorified lab rats to them. [even if the idea of space is kind of cool]

Before I go, there are some ImPort houses available in Maurtia Falls now if you want to get out of this sunny hell hole. Use my name for reference if you're moving. I'll get commission and you might get first dibs.

It hasn't been long enough.

Which I hate to say.

[attractedtodarkness]

How long is long enough?

[selfequipped]

Hard to say. Given what happened with the threat the other day, I'd say another month or so and we'll start to see true colors spelled out more clearly.

[attractedtodarkness]

Do you think the nuclear threat's real? I figured they were just bullshitting us again.

[selfequipped]

I doubt it, but I also would like to think that our braintrust will work to bring that to light.

[attractedtodarkness]

Great. What do they expect us to do against a nuclear blast?

[selfequipped]

... That is quite possibly proof that this is all fake.

[attractedtodarkness]

What do you mean?

[selfequipped]

They can't really expect us to stop nuclear warfare. That would be too risky.

[attractedtodarkness]

They're still in a cold war. Don't the government use spies for that shit?

[selfequipped]

Their spies aren't superpowered.

Anyway, my point is that they wouldn't depend on us to stop that, so the threat was probably a way of scaring us straight.

[attractedtodarkness]

[ugh] That's a stupid plan.

[undeniably somewhat efficient in the 'scare' part]

[selfequipped]

If it's the plan. I'm going to see what Captain Holiday has to say.

[attractedtodarkness]

[she can't help but smile at the idea]

Do you mind telling him he has a stupid name while you're at it?

[selfequipped]

I'll make sure to slip it in.

[attractedtodarkness]

Great.

Take care of yourself.

[selfequipped]

Oh, you know me. That's what I do best.
