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. )

( How did you swing that? )

[ This is a mostly rhetorical question; he isn't expecting a direct answer just yet. ]

( Are you sure it's smart to invite this many people? )

[ aka...everyone.... ]

[unsea]

( I used what social pull I had gained from the tournament. And waited. Quite a long while. )

[ that's part of it...... listen bellamy ]

( I've only invited Aoba and Carata. The fundraiser itself is a public event, to my knowledge. )

[exhuxperation]

[ Well now, someone has been a busy bee. Hux appreciates this immensely, especially in light of certain things. ]

( Intriguing. I can only imagine how many strings needed to be pulled for this particular meeting.

Also, not to shine a negative light on things, but perhaps we should collectively have an exit strategy just in case things go south. With such a prestigious event, there is potential for another attack like the one at the arena. )

[decommission]

( Public Security's probably gonna be on this, but we could have people outside too. )

[ There's a flatness to his mental voice, and an indication that he's speaking to everyone and not Hux specifically. ]

[adamance]

( Would it be possible to obtain a guest list of some kind? They may have honored and esteemed individuals who would be more than public arrivals. )

[This is not her moving from her previous stance on her list, but despite how damn stubborn she is, she isn't so stubborn that she'd screw up an opportunity for all of them to get intel here.]

[exhuxperation]

[ So he's being ignored but also not being ignored. Okay. ]

( Public Security will likely be more prepared, considering. Saffit should also have private security, though doubtless they'll prioritize the distinguished guests and Saffit himself. Having outside force would triplicate the security. Avoiding another arena issue should allow us to keep our leads in commission.

Any suggestions to that end? )

[snaphiss]

( Good work. )

( What have you observed of their customs? Their interests? Events like these can be dangerous to just waltz into. )

( But then, maybe you're a natural. )

[decommission]

[ There's a pause, thinking before suggesting anything. ]

( Depends where this soiree's gonna be held. )

[ The Darkling'll have to answer that. ]

[shiro2hero]

(Wait, so. All of us are going to this thing?)

[greentech]

( Parties aren't really my thing. )

[tropism]

( Do you need a date? Because I happen to be an excellent candidate. )

[ he's absolutely srs. ]

[headinjuries]

( If it's all anti-synthers, I think I'd better pass. It'd look weird since I was getting ins with the other side instead. )

[ Also fundraisers sound boring as hell anyway, please nobody make him go. ]

[greentech]

( A date?! No! I just - I usually don't go to parties! )

[shiro2hero]

[... he's not going to say anything here because Pidge can speak for herself. But.]

[You are being watched.]

[deployed]

( Do we all need to bring someone? )

[ because bruh. ]

[decommission]

( With this sorta crowd you'd be puking one way or another. )

[ ha ha ]

[headinjuries]

[ He was trying not to tell the world about his puking habits, Steve! ]

( And there's that. )

[decommission]

[ sorry sam, he was trying to help!! ]

[unsea]

( Can you not get a date, Bellamy? )

[ murphy isn't available????? ]

[unsea]

( 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. )

[unsea]

( Similarities to the street festivities, with a higher emphasis on propriety and dress. I believe it to be a more 'professional' affair, but I doubt they'll resent liveliness. )

[ He very nearly laughs aloud!! ]

( Jade, I might suspect you for a flatterer if I didn't fear your tongue's barb. )

[adamance]

[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]

( Of course. I have the power to mandate that we all attend, after all. )

[ CAN YOU HEAR THE AMUSEMENT, spacedad you're precious. ]

[shiro2hero]

(... You wouldn't.)

[DON'T DO THE THING, DARK BRO.]

[tropism]

[ dont u have a latte to consume or something ]
