mental link: day 34

[erbier]

[ It is actually quite late when Ilde's soft voice moves through the hosts, her scent of smoke and earth. She is at a club somewhere deep in the city, dazzled by noise and light, something you are free to establish if you look for it. ]

( It has been suggested to me by a hacker named Y that I throw a concert to lure our bombers out again. )

[ This part is forthright, a statement of fact with no value attachment to it. ]

( I believe she is questioning who I really am. If I refuse this idea, I may encourage that. )

[ This may not be strictly true, but it is how Ilde has perceived their conversation. ]

( She seems to know something, but is it worth losing my guise? If not, how am I to refuse this suggestion and maintain it. I do not know if she is a part of the group who contacted us before. She may already know I am false and this is all a game. )


OOC: link & all threadjacking here very much encouraged!

( We'd be foolish to believe that we aren't compromised. Even in a world of limited technology like my own, someone couldn't pretend to be someone else for very long. They'd be found out.

We should proceed assuming that the same has happened to us. They don't know where we've come from, but that's our only armor at this time. )

[If it were really just Ilde or just one of the Sams, it would be different.

But they were all contacted.]

[erbier]

( What is your advice. )

[adamance]

( Tell this woman that your associates are too worried about the various security flaws that may come about from an event like this. That while it's a good idea, there are too many uncontrolled variables. She may call your bluff on your identity, but, as I said, we have to consider that a foregone conclusion. The rest of your reasoning will stand regardless of her argument. )

[erbier]

( Thank you. I will keep this in mind as I proceed. )

[ She isn't even being facetious, it is a solid exit although... she'd like to try once more before going that route. ]

[adamance]

( Nirad is correct in thinking that we should follow her. If you do share this information with her, demand a meeting in person so that we can do that. )

[erbier]

( I agree. I will try to remove myself peaceably for tonight so that we may arrange this. )

[adamance]

( Do you know if any of us are able to obscure ourselves? )

[Lexa may be able to manage it, but she'd like to see if they can utilize more secure means than well-trained guerrilla warfare tactics.]

[erbier]

[ Well. There's. Nirad, but that's kind of Ilde's little secret. Besides, she had told him she did not want him to go alone, until they established a second spy, it did not matter. Right? ]

( I do not know the powers of most, I will have to inquire. )

[adamance]

( I intend to do the same. )

[If nothing else, it's a place to start.]
