[ The message is brief and to the point: ]

A member of my team recovered an encrypted data drive during the military operation in Antartica. This was on it:

ONCE FIRST WAVE ACQUISITION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, BEGIN PROGRAMMING IN PREPARATION FOR PHASE 2
20/01 MOBILIZATION HAS BEGUN
25/01 WEAPONS SHALL BE COMPLETELY WITHIN SOVIET HANDS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
LAUNCH DATE OCCUPATION 10/02

It's not much, but it's what we've got. Most of the data's either corrupted or still being decrypted. I don't know if it actually means anything, but someone thought it was important enough to hide.

If anyone's got any theories on what it means or has information that matches up to this, I'm all ears.

[Mewtwo brings the video to himself for a few moments, focusing on himself as he is: no human filter, no hiding. His face has that usual glare plastered on those alien features. Soon he switches it off returns to texting.]


I have lived among your kind for a long time now.


it comes as no surprise to me that a conflict like this began with those kidnappings. I took part in helping those hostages reach home.


I have never fought in a real war. that doesn't mean I do not have the capability to fight or the ignorance to know that conflict will happen.


I have lived with your kind for some time. I have seen certain behaviors. aside from a few, I wouldn't care for most of you.


there will always be fighting. but if you can recognize that escalating this conflict will only lead to suffering then my opinion can be changed.


if not. then. your kind are a species I would not want to bother with.

Ssoooo, I know it’s tacky to use a social media site as a confessional and all, but whatever. Most of us –if not all of us- have been through some really heavy crap and that sort of stuff builds up. A buddy of mine helped me set this up, it’s got a filter on here that you can use when you reply so it’ll strip your ID from your comment. Make you anonymous, for those of you who can’t do that yourselves. You non-hacker types, also known as law-abiding citizens. [lookin at you robin]

Anyway. I figure we can use this post to just talk about the stuff that’s really been getting to us. You can say it with your name attached, or without; whatever you want. Maybe you’ll find somebody who’s going through the same stuff as you.

My thing is that I’m [a beat of hesitation, barely there] gonna die back home in about five years, unless I figure out a way to remember this. Or stop it. And that. Sucks.

But like, your stuff doesn’t have to be something like that, you can talk about that hottie you’re crushing on in math class. Just something you wanna get off your chest. Sometimes all you need is just to know that somebody else saw it.



…if you do talk about that hottie in math class you better have pics though.

[ The feed is audio, because Lucifer is accessing the network mentally. He's been quiet since imPorts returned home, biding his time, but since it's become clear that he's not getting out of this cell any time soon, it's time to make a noise...and moreover, appeal to those whose testimony might keep him here. Assault, indeed. But he's not going to talk to the network about how RISE is trying to press charges of GBH, because that wouldn't put him in a position of any sympathy. Instead: ]

We're at war, apparently. So you would assume that any Russians I killed in the process of escaping would be a good thing. Yes?  Now, I do realize, that you think that you're better than killing, that you must, by right of having civilization, rise above it. It's not cute. An eye for an eye, friends, that's the only way to proceed, otherwise how will you impress upon your enemy that you're not to be trifled with? That's divine justice right there.

And yet, considering how many were killed, and not even by my hand, I seem to be the only one paying a price. [ A pause. ] What price, you ask? Well, I am being detained, by your police force - our police force - RISE. For what? Doing my part, that's all. You can't possibly tell me they didn't deserve it. The conditions we were kept in, the starvation, the filth and cold, the suffering children?

But am I here because I'm paying a fair price for what I did, or because I am being judged for my former self's actions? Because of my name and legacy? Yes, I am Lucifer, but I've been a - kidnapping by overseas hostiles notwithstanding - relatively benign creature since my arrival here, considering what I could have done. Might have done. May well do, if I'm not released soon. Certainly my actions in the past don't justify this kind of unbalanced, unfair prejudgement. But you've seen, haven't you, what happens when I'm confined for a great period of time. [ It's delicate, but that was definitely a threat. ]

This is my formal petition for release. I think considering what I went through alongside all of you, continuing to confine me like this can only be seen as cruel beyond thought. No, it isn't a Russian prison, but for me, it may as well be. Consider how you felt, when freedom was granted to you--now imagine that it was all, so very quickly, snatched away.

Free me. I promise not to kill any more Russians.

Ah...and Gogo, Miles? We really should talk.


[ ooc: Visits are good! Lucifer will be nullified if this is the case. Just put action in your header~ ]
