Who: Intensity and whoever
Where: Around the hotel
When: Day 146 afternoon/evening

[One nerdlord is out and about the hotel and surrounding area, lugging around a metal briefcase as he is on the lookout for various people he needs to catch up with.

If you do manage to catch him while he is in transit, it is very obvious that he is missing his robot arm, has bandages covering one eye, and doesn't seem to be in too big of a hurry to deal with either right now.

He also seems grumpy, but hey - what else is new?

'Sup, Imeeji. How is your Day 146 going? Hopefully better than his.]

CEO: Where are you?

Re: Text to Yvette

[tradesecret]

C.Yvette: In the lobby w/my new unitmate
C.Yvette: I can step away if needed

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

CEO: Yes.
CEO: I need a private space.
CEO: Either your office or mine.

[tradesecret]

C.Yvette: I don't have one, so yours it is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

CEO: I'll leave the door open.

[tradesecret]

[ it doesn't take very long for her to show up ]

Should I say, "Welcome back?"

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's sitting at the cube table - robot arm missing and bandages over his missing eye. Otherwise, he just looks like same grumpy Intensity. Except for the addition of a bone ring on his index finger]

Hooray. I'm back.

Sit.

We have a lot to cover.

[tradesecret]

[ smoothing out her skirt and taking a seat ]

Whenever you're ready.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opening a metal briefcase and pulling out three different pieces of paper]

Where do you want to start?

What I'm telling the public.

The confidential information.

Or the new plans so that missions don't go fucking sideways like the last one.

[tradesecret]

New plans, first. Confidential information, then what will be released to the public.

[ Making sure things don't go sideways is and always will be her priority ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I've passed this by B and Talon.

[Slides this to Yvette]

Your thoughts?

We're trying to get a point of contact for each unit.

[tradesecret]

[ She laughs softly as she reads it, though not in a cynical way. ]

Some of the mission leaders might not have the forethought to answer this form completely. But, the Points of Contact should be able to double as a Think Tank for possible outcomes and solutions.

I have no objections to anyone listed here, and, if you don't mind me making a recommendation, I'd like to work with Mercury from Heart Soldier Senshi as a fellow Point of Contact.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You, B, and Talon are allowed to add anyone you wish. Though being a point of contact does not necessarily mean they will have access to all confidential information. That's a different invite list.

Just let me know when you've vetted him.

[tradesecret]

Of course. I'd also like you to think of an alternate. While I don't anticipate any changes to the Point of Contact lineup, having a back up for the primary Points of Contact will ensure a seamless transition in situations when primaries need to go to the front lines.

Even if the alternate doesn't fit the ideal of a Point of Contact right now, the aim is to familiarize them with the system through shadowing the primaries.

As for Mercury, he's vetted on my end. I've seen his memories [ because she snoops on all the public ones ] and he already had a stripped down, but similar plan in mind for HSS.

He just wasn't sure how to get them on board.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're asking me to babysit 24 idols and keep them up to speed?

Pass.

Unless you're volunteering to handle the training regime and I just get to fucking stamp their paperwork.

[tradesecret]

No, just your own backup, who should be expected to keep themselves up to speed on their own. You've got enough to handle.

If you're absolutely sure nothing will keep you from abandoning your post, then you don't need one. Realistically speaking, with my unit being half newbies better suited for the front lines and the other half audition idols— our newest member included— I don't feasibly have a backup for myself, either.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that a diplomatic way of asking me to not go on another field mission? Because I was already planning on that.

[tradesecret]

I'm not in any position to tell you what to do, but it's reassuring that you've come to that conclusion yourself.

[ also probably an indication things went really bad ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're not in any position to tell me to do anything, but speak your opinions plainly if you have them.

[tradesecret]

But that was it. I can't really say if going or not was the right call to make, because I don't know everything and I wasn't there.

And if for some reason you were unable to return, or compromised to the point of being unable to continue, I believe your expectation would be for us to continue what you started. Granted, it would be difficult to do because you were the one who established it, but the whole point of having a network is that it should not collapse when one piece is gone.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That would be my expectation.

The rest of you are more than capable of finishing what I've started.

[tradesecret]

I'm glad that I didn't jump to the wrong conclusion.

Shall we move onto the next topic?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Classified notes. But of course.

[And handing Yvette this piece of paper minus the Maki info because that hasn't happened yet]

[tradesecret]

...

In your opinion, what is the likelihood that you've been compromised?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As in she knows everything I know?

Or that she's spying through my eyeballs right now?

...

Low.

Mostly because she doesn't see us as a threat. Just a potential useful pawn.

That might change if circumstances change.

Regardless, make sure I don't know where the Mega-Elixir is.
