mental link; after everything goes down on the evening of :038

[adamance]

[As it becomes apparent that it's time to move on—to shift forward in what feels like an endless pilgrimage, one in which none of the Hosts will gain any "true" enlightenment, as they will never see this culture as anything more than a means to an end. (At least, that's as far as Lexa sees it. Perhaps it's disrespectful. Perhaps she would bristle at it herself if it were about her culture. But then, no one is calling these people primitive and uncivilized like she's heard about her people in the past.)

Not that any of this will be spoken. This mission will go on, but it's a mission that can come to an end. That is something within their reach.

Which is why she opens up a mental communication to all the Hosts.]

( We must discuss, as a whole, how we hope to proceed moving forward. Before we pack up our things, I would prefer that we have some plan in place for how we act next. It'll prevent any further need to take on actions individually as we will be acting for each other. With the knowledge of each other's future actions.

That is not to say that I recommend against actions. But we can't act in contradiction to one another. Out of impatience for each other. We all hope to be done with this mission as soon as possible.

We have confirmed the presence of the Enemy. How do we hope to proceed? How will we ensure that the Descendants do not claim control of this power?

Furthermore, I implore you all to consider why it is the Enemy would act to prevent peace talks that could secure them the Nectar. And why it is that they need the Nectar. We are only fighting one battle here.

I won't lead this discussion. But we must have this discussion. We work well under time constraints. Let's have an idea of how we hope to proceed before we continue our journey. )

[That's her way of setting a time constraint, all in hopes that people will discuss what they will have to do. It's no longer about Keya (as far as she's concerned), but about their greater mission.]

[ooc: please please please treat this as an IC discussion post where people can threadjack and discuss whatever! i figured it would be a good idea to facilitate discussion here!]

( Good to hear. )

[ Sam won't, either - but that's been his focus since the start. It's good to know Bakugo's on board. ]

( If I'm spitballing ideas here - I think we got enough of us that we can split our focus between sabotage and support. I know some people've been talking with some of the Meradans and Carpathans, and some people've been making friends with the Seconds; the people who're good at it can get information and gossip and spread rumors and all that shit. Make the Descendants seem less desirable, make someone else seem more, be ready for some kind of fight when the Enemy doesn't get things their way.

For right now? ) [ There's the sense of a shrug. These are just ideas, and Sam's looking for Bakugo's opinion on things here, too. ] ( There's a couple of things that seem interesting from the Descendants' quarters, and I'm gonna take 'em to Rhan and the others who've been here longer to get their thoughts. )

[incinerates]

I'll repeat what I said before -- I think if we're decided on the Descendants being the guilty party, we finalize our approach and feed it to another faction. That way, the power's in their court, and the results are upheld long after we're through with this place.

[ He's loud. He's rude. He's actually clever??? ]

What kind of stuff? Anything of Keya's?
