Listen up, guys, this is important. [ he's never really been a huge fan of Big Talks, and prefers to leave that kind of junk to newt and minho. "be careful, don't die". that's a good way to go about it. kate's better at it too. but this really isn't about thomas's comfort level with attention. the talks that are just rattling off facts are fine, but this is kind of more serious. ] There's a couple shanks-- people we know, sort of, that are probably gonna die if we can't figure something out to help. At least one of them is gonna be shucked, and we're running out of time on it.

[ good job, thomas, great start, way to not sound socially inept. ]

I didn't want to put this up on here, because we were worried about the security on the Mirrornet, but I don't think there's a lot of choice, and besides, nothing's come out of it yet. At least as far as what we can see. [ he and kate had talked it over, and considering the importance of getting this out, and the lack of any other real resource outside of getting emma frost to be their new internet, this is it. ]

Anyway, about a couple weeks back, Jesse helped me with a power boost to contact Holiday telepathically. [ he's obviously a little awkward feeling about saying that - the telepath part. he's aware it's not anyone's favorite power, and he's tried not to talk about it much if he didn't have to since getting here. welp, cat's out of the bag, this is too important. ] Guy's head was an total mess. I couldn't make a lot of sense out of it, but Dr. Chilton, maybe you can. Or any of the rest of you. [ whom he already sent the transcript to. thomas takes a minute to clear his throat, hands fidget where they're lying on the desk in front of him, phone propped up against some books. ]

Thing is, though, halfway through, Holiday went quiet, and Salvatore Quisma showed up. If you guys don't remember who that was, there was an article leaked a while back talking about how Holiday came out of a coma right about the same time Quisma was reported dead. He was an imPort who did a lot to improve imPort relations and benefits in the country - his power was possession, and that's what ended up with Quisma sharing a headspace with Holiday. Said it probably saved his life.

You guys remember back in the swear-in months ago, how people were saying they talked to Quisma's ghost? That was something he tried, seeing if he could part from Holiday for a while, using astral projection - another power of his. Quisma was saying he thinks that's probably what started to cause Holiday's mind to go all whacked. But Quisma's power is fading out, and he's probably not gonna be able to hold on for long. And if he goes, he doesn't really know what's gonna happen to Holiday.

We can't just pull Quisma out without a good way to keep him going at least as a projection, or without knowing what'll happen to Holiday if he loses Quisma supporting him. So we need people who know this kinda klunk. Ideas, information, anything.

I've got a transcript of how the conversation went. If you want a look, lemme know, and I can run a copy to you, or get a technopath to try to secure the hell out of this junk. I'm not sure if the government shanks know they've got Holiday and Quisma, or if they're stupid to the whole thing, but if they are, I'd rather it stay that way.

[ he takes a breath, letting it out slowly, as he looks down at his hands. ]

Quisma and Holiday both put a lot of effort and took a lot of risk in trying to help us out here. I think we owe them something for that. If just trying to save a couple lives isn't enough for you.

[[ ooc; feel free to comment around and threadjack, ain't no thang, thomas doesn't know wtf he's doing with this anyway. the conversation he's talking about is here, by the way. ]]

oh hes nice and all he wasnt like frothing at the mouth looney tunes but i mean

hed use terms like 'goose-stepping' and i think he offered to illegally remove my tattoo???? im not sure it sounded kind of shady and i didnt want to get arrested at the time

i recorded it ill email u the file

Edited 2015-02-19 07:01 (UTC)

I got it.

[And a couple seconds later:]

He didn't sound too bad until that last part, but that's what they do. I need to talk to him again as soon as I get the chance to do it. Has a certain bird shown you any good encryptions?

[He trust Dick-cryptions more than he trusts his own.]

ill ask him to send something over your way

[Assuming he gets the encryption...]

Do you know Lex Luthor?

who doesnt know that career scumbag

Edited 2015-02-25 01:34 (UTC)

I'm getting her Luthor-like vibes from this man, but I'm not sure if I'm being biased. Is it just me?

luthor???

i dunno i wasnt getting that but
i dont know the baldy like you do maybe hes less slimy in ur world
in mine he just kind of exudes gross corporate bigshot who would sell his mom for a dollar

Well, yes. He's like that back home as well. He's just extremely subtle about it. [Clark's pretty sure he killed his father, for starters. So there's that.]

He event got elected president once because he's really, really good at talking to people using the right words so they hear what he wants them to hear without actually saying much. And I think that's Narga's angle as well.

you think so

i dunno i was getting the help me help you vibe from him but i dunno if it was up to luthor grade but i dont know his deal
like i dont even know why he hates the government so much like why does he care

Then it was probably me. But I'll still keep a close eye on him, just in case.

And that's one of the things we need to figure out if we want to get to the bottom of this.

bottom of what why everything is jacked up and why every single person here is a liar

[wally no
you promised jaime you wouldn't yell at anybody else]

[Wow what]

Any particular reason you're calling me a liar?

no not u all the military ppl around here
and the corporate guys

and other individuals unrelated to the discussion at hand but ur not a liar [JUST FORGETFUL AND UNCARING OF THE LITTLE GUY okay calm be calm west calm ur tits]

[One one hand, passive aggressiveness. On the other hand, as much as Wally wants to be treated like an adult he is a teenager, and Kal was even more petulant than this when he was younger.

Hm.]

By the bottom I mean the bottom of this situation. Why the government was censoring all this, the deal with the Hornets, etc. Ideally how to get back home but that's a far off dream.

and how we can remember what happened here before we go

That's going to be the hardest one to manage. I think it has to do with the nanites but I'm not sure. But I guess that's why we need the help of people like Narga.

we HAVE to do that one we have to
im not leaving until i figure it out

['It might not be up to you', is what he thinks.]

I'll help you in any way I can. [Is what he actually sends.]
