Hey all. Quick PSA:

Over at StarkTech there's a team of us that are working on a solution to some of the weird ~memory shenanigans~ that you might have seen around lately. We're no closer to a cure, but I'm pretty sure we HAVE now successfully got a working prototype for a "vaccine" of sorts. Basically we've figured out how to upgrade the imPort nanites to protect anyone else from getting false memories implanted in their head and believing that they're real.

If you want to swing by StarkTech any time this week, we'll be happy to fix you up. Free lollipop for people who come in, and it doesn't take any time at all. You can pop in over a lunch break.

The project's being headed by Jemma Simmons, Hiro Hamada, and me-- hi, I'm Skye, if we haven't met before. We'll be rotating different shifts, so you might not see all of us, but one of us will be around.

[Kick off for the memory sharing plot! Again, you don't have to have commented to this post to participate. Feel free to assume your character went in and saw one of them, or if you aren't comfortable handwaving having met one of them off screen, you can always say a random faceless lab-tech saw to you instead! Feel free to comment in here if you feel your character would though, or if they have questions, and network threads can always transition to action threads if you feel like playing it out. Skye, Hiro and Jemma will be out and about in places. Peace out!]

MIRRORNET POST; info sharing on brycha + lana sudiczki (backdated to 1/28)

[shuckit]

[ due to some warnings from kate, and recent events, thomas has decided to keep all this information on the mirrornet. it's a secure network (supposedly), available to all imPorts. so if you're an imPort, assume you can see this. but the government can't. hopefully. haaaaaa. ]

i hate these storms. has anyone figured out what the hell's going on with the shuck lightning yet?

[ really, really hates them. hates them on a personal level of "violent, freak lightning killed my homies", so it's pretty amazing thomas is even posting right now. but he's put it off long enough, after getting back from the last trip with Loki and Lydia. so, this is text, and not voice or video, because thomas doesn't feel like showing everyone on the mirrornet that he's legitimately chilling out under a blanket inside of a bath tub with the kind of thundershirt you put on a dog wrapped over his shirt. and maybe missing kanaya a lot at the moment as well. thanks for the shirt, boo.

but we're not talking about lightning. we are, in fact, aggressively not talking about lightning right now. we're talking about michigan. ]

wanted to let you guys know - we got back from a couple trips up to brycha, following up on the hornet stuff, plus kitty and me finished checking out the lana sudiczki story in de chima for now. we met her granddaughters. i never want to deal with old people again.

i updated the notes i've been keeping public, with some new stuff, but mostly what we found out about lana and brycha. kate's also updated her FAQ page with more details, and the stuff from brycha. [ links are icly embedded there! ] if you're new and you're stupid to the whole thing, read kate's faq. it'll make more sense than my notes to you.

with lana, the gist is that she was onto something the government thought was too dangerous to let the public get clued into. she was studying constellations a lot, and apparently had the idea that "we aren't alone in the universe". so funny. you think? [ tmw there's like 100+ powered people from all over the multiverse here now. you might have been on to something there, lana. but then again, it seems like there was something very specific she was looking into, hence: ] there wasn't anything else on the work, but some of the star charts she made have some extra stars that we don't see here, plus, she was harping a lot on m-theory back then. in 1910. i don't know when scientific developments popped up here, but still seems kinda early?

brycha mostly felt like an bad drug trip. we found the old hornet base, and, like Kid posted about before- [ a link embedded to Kid's post ] -no one home, but they left us a puzzle, cus they're just great guys like that, i guess. still working on it. on top of that, a shuck-load of weird stuff. mutated looking wildlife, earthquakes that happened back in the 90s, but with no fault line. and a trap door at the bottom of Lake Huron that we couldn't actually get to. there's more about it in kate's page and my notes.

anyway, that's all i got. if i missed something in the notes, let me know. or if you've got something you want me to add to the notes. or if you have something you want me to add that you don't want to talk about on the phones, just... think really loud at me. or something.


btw, if someone ever asks you to taste test their yogurt, throw it in their face. no matter how old and grouchy they are.


PRIVATE TO JESSE;

hey man, can i ask a favor?

[[ ooc; for people who i plotted doing action things with while thomas is having his lightning storm freak out, feel free to action tag this post! ]]

[The princess appears on the screen with a pleasant smile and a bizarre angle. Per usual, Anna spends a few seconds fascinated at seeing herself while she moves her device around to capture her at different angles. Soon enough though, she puts her attentions to her virtual audience.]

Hi there everyone! For those of you that don't know me, I'm Anna. And, well, I'm still Anna for those of you who do. Which, you all know. So. Anyway.

I was wondering about this whole "Valentine's Day" thing I keep seeing everywhere. [Yes, those were air quotes back there.] Because there's way too much information that doesn't agree on the internet. Someone said it was a Hallmark holiday but I thought Hallmark was a television channel? They had all those super sad movies with, fortunately, happy endings at Christmas?? Then someone else said it was about some guy from a zillion years ago who might've been a wizard and helped people heal or horrible bloody stuff or... something.

[She might've overloaded herself on the web searches.]

Oh! And some one else said it's about celebrating your special someone. And, um. [Anna blushes. The rest of her words come out in an even faster rush than her normal babbling.] If it was about that I just. Want to make sure?? You know, because it's good not to forget those kinds of things.
