day 45....... ish??

[unsea]

( Goram Saffit has granted us an audience. )

[ SOMEONE HAS BEEN A stressed maniac BUSY BEE BEHIND SCENES, WOW!! ]

( Three of us have been permitted to meet Saffit in person - myself, Carata and Aoba. We will be utilizing this time to investigate him as a potential source of this turmoil, and searching for further information.

We will be meeting at one of his fundraising benefits in two days. Those who wish to attend may wish to make use of the Station's credit line for something nice to wear, as well as find themselves a plus one. If you are in attendance, feel free to investigate other attendees for anything you find suspect or informative. And note that most of the people in attendance are against the synthetic personhood movement. )

( It is a possibility. I will put in a request for a copy, and see what turns up.

Our efforts would definitely be better directed if we knew who to focus on, in advance. )

[Rather abruptly, she shifts this conversation into a private one: if nothing else, being blunt serves her, and it will serve her here. They can sat that it's a poor strategy, but there is always a lesson to be learned in agitating and instigating another. That cannot be done without words or action.

Not that that had been her goal the other day, but it taught her a great deal about those in the Nest.]

( I intend to compare their list and ours, but I'm reluctant to share its contents with you because of how you acted toward Kylo Ren after his grandfather died.

You have proved to be less than trustworthy. ) [And potentially just as volatile.]

[unsea]

( You would prefer to moralize over that, than to quite possibly strengthen our standing regarding what we have mutally have and will acquire.

How terribly short-sighted, Commander. I did not ask for your trust, only your cooperation. )

[adamance]

( It's what you might choose to do when allowed to act on your own.

Why do I have to trust that you will cooperate? )

[unsea]

[ when ALLOWED to act. ]

( Because you are not a machine built to calculate outcomes. And because I am tired of aimless pursuits.

Either grant me the information, or do not. Either way, we will inevitably pool our findings. )

[adamance]

( Nearly convincing Kylo Ren to act in public like that may have destroyed any progress we had made or were making at that point. We would have had targets painted on our backs. And it's apparent that what did occur there was bad enough given the nature of some of our identities.

That you could be so rash and reckless for some unclear pursuit means that you are not to be trusted.

Secure me a list. )

[unsea]

( Regardless of how we are seen as a result, we make our decisions with our people in mind, Commander. )

[ he will always stand behind his decision regarding empowering kylo ren, and he will wonder what the outcome would have been. ]

( I will get a guest list, so do not withhold information from us ever again. You know we will all be safer and far more effective with access to information. You do like us to be effective, after all. )

[adamance]

( Kylo Ren is not your people. He is devoted to one individual alone, and that is not you. Don't fool yourself into believing otherwise. )

[It's possible that the Darkling is strong enough to earn his respect and reverence, but no one will ever be nearly as strong as Cathaway. That he could prove to be one of her weapons is useful information, albeit one that makes Lexa incredibly wary.]

( We're more effective as a group when the more chaotic of us aren't encouraged to act outside of the lines set around them. Consider that. )
