hey. in light of sorrows message i figure we should get organized. who went out on the ships to collect fragments? and whats the plan w. those fragments?
I think you're being optimistic with the idea that there's any sort of plan.
[He's feeling a little salty about this entire mess he's been observing ever since getting back, and doesn't think it's totally necessary to hide it when talking to Harlan, so salt it is. But, more helpfully--]
So far it's mostly looked like a bunch of posturing over getting the pieces together at the lab for studying, which I get the motivation for wanting to do, but it really doesn't seem like holding onto the pieces is going to benefit us at all. Even if we learn something, we probably cant use the pieces ourselves.
dw man im using plan loosely. if i run in suggesting everyones an idiot im not likely to get much cooperation. im goin for diplomacy. yeah idt we have much use for em aside from w.e studying the lab wanted to do. im just trying to collect info atm. i want to know if i need to shake anyone down. lol. do u know if all the pieces are at the lab? no one seems to be clear on how many the lab actually has.
[He'd go to the lab himself, but he's heard he has a doppleganger lurking over there and he's wary of accidentally disrupting the timestream if the two of them ever meet face to face.
Or, you know, some other thinly-veiled IC reason.]
You know I'm pretty much always on board for diplomacy.
[Even if he doesn't necessarily think it's going to be too effective in this case considering the other nonsense he's seen so far, but that isn't Harlan's fault.]
I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some missing. People tend to react contrarily when ordered to do something, and the previous threats regarding turning over pieces to the lab may not have gone over well. You have a better chance of finding out about any that might be being withheld, though.
[With the much more neutral line of questioning and all.]
christ. ppl have been threatening each other? the fuck kind of strategy is that. ok now im throwin around the word idiot. fuckin makin our jobs harder. jfc. see this is why we need some organization. heres hopin i get some actual leads instead of this all vague roads lead to the lab bs. i shouldve paid more attention when the ships were goin out in the first place. then again idek if anyone is actually planning to keep the fragments from sorrow.
There's been some posturing. 'Threats' may have been a strong word but it was really obviously insinuated.
[Really obviously.]
I'm not sure who all went out either; there were too many people involved and the whole thing about the boats. But Name did give us at least a general number of shards, so if it was telling the truth then we might be able to tell if any are missing. My group gave our shard to the lab.
still. christ. yeah there were what seven shards? three fragments w. one split into five pieces? who was in ur group? and do u know if u had one of the full frags or a piece of the one that got split? fragments of a fragment. we need better fuckin terms.
