I've been through this before. I've been targeted on a hit list like this, precisely five days before I arrived in this world.

I guessed from the wording of the Null broadcast that some people might not have seen that they were named as targets. Consider this fair warning to everyone in this city: the Null would rather kill you than work with you.

[a pause, and then his tone turns positively savage]

As I did before, I'll do again. My only target is the one putting out the hit list. I will destroy the Null and anyone who tries to kill us. Anyone who'd foolishly sacrifice our chances of getting home for this death game should be dealt with, and I have no problem doing so.

[addendum message, five minutes later:]

I've been blocked from the message. Anyone who was quick enough to copy it, we'd appreciate a public airing of the names on the list.

...What hit list?

[hot_mes]

...dammit, they blocked me! I can't see it now.

The Null just transmitted a list of people they want killed. I can only imagine if I lost access to the message, I'm now on it.

[utulien_aure]

...Of course they did. I haven't seen anything, though....

[After a few attempts of his own to find it, Fingon's back.]

Nothing. Well, congratulations and welcome. I must be on it as well.

[private|voice]

[circumitus]

Your name was added. Think you might've been booted off the call list before that happened.

[private|voice]

[hot_mes]

Figures. Thanks for letting me know.

Oh well, at least now we know their true intentions.

[private|voice]

[circumitus]

Sort of.

Have a few questions -- about your abilities. Not on here, though.

[If the Null are capable of hacking into their network the way they are, she'd rather keep any discussion about them as private as possible. Even more private than the private lock.]

[notimpervious]

[It does not take her too long to respond to this, though she comes at it from another direction.]

I do not wish to kill anyone, but I would be more than willing to help protect anyone on that list who is not capable of protecting themselves.

voice

[hot_mes]

[he recognizes the voice, to a point]

...what can you do? Not that I want to be in charge but I assume anyone and everyone who wants to help should organize somehow.

[notimpervious]

[She is very much going to not refer to the unfortunate incident during which they met, i.e., the paintball compulsion event.]

I have a gun. I am a good marksman. I am skilled in several forms of martial arts. If someone were to attack, provided they are in any way like humans, I know where to strike to stop a person without killing or irreparably hurting them.

[Resume over.]

[blessedmaiden]

[She waves the names written on the paper in front of the screen, living in the library and having no idea how to screenshot has its advantages... and yes she will add all new names until she has no longer access.]

The names up so far- [She still has to be blocked, unlike him] If you want to share.

I'd say the priority now is to make a group to protect the targets.

[hot_mes]

Yes, good. Please do. I was too slow, I didn't write anything down before shooting off my mouth.

voice.

[puzzlingly]

Did they block you too?

voice.

[hot_mes]

Yeah.

You're not going to get pissy if I decide to protect you, are you?

text

[sightlessly]

Yeah. More names have been popping up. Gonna guess you're one of them. I'll drop the full list to the network.

text

[hot_mes]

good. do it. thanks.

if anyone responds saying they'll take the bounty, name names.

[voice; private]

[synthedick]

I'm keeping an eye out for anyone who looks like they might jump at this chance, even if there are damn kids on that list. You be careful, all right?

[voice; private]

[hot_mes]

Don't worry about me. I'm capable of protecting myself.

Had I known this was how they'd react I would have been more cautious and stayed on longer to get more information, but that's my bad. If you can keep an eye on who might actually try to kill the others, so much the better.

[half of him is inclined not to trust anyone going forward, but he's got to trust someone. A private investigator is a good choice.]

[Audo]

[drabsolutelynot]

That list is still growing.

[hot_mes]

...shit, seriously?

People need to calm down. Learn from those of us who shot our mouths off - responding to them with a challenge will get you blocked, and then how will we get information?

[imhisaunt]

I don't know what I can do, but I want to help.

[He's never been this angry before and worse he has no idea what to do with that feeling, just sitting in his room with his rage]

[Video]

[hot_mes]

[oh hey dude, long time no talk]

Better than sitting back and letting it happen. What can you offer? Even just protecting our assets, and each other.

[so_dark_a_road]

I agree that we can't sit back and wait to see what comes of this. We've got to organize.

[hot_mes]

[why hello paintball frand]

Can it be done quickly and with a minimum of grumbling?

voice

[survivorsguilt]

Not surprised. Hope anyone who was gonna side with the Null realises how absolutely fucked they are now.

Hey, uh, I can't see it. How'd you find it?

voice

[hot_mes]

I saw it and immediately responded. Lost my temper, got blocked.

I would expect that if you never saw it at all, you were on the first version of the hit list.
