november 18th. @matches.malone

[reneger]

i want information and a hand, specifically from you and completely off record

[mrngstr]

Someone's demanding.

What is it?

@jon.snow, 11/16

[998]

El--

I don't know what you did in the war. I don't know if anything they say about you is true. I do know you've helped millions of people through Morningstar over the years, and I know we wouldn't have lives here if it weren't for you.

You told connor your duty was to protect this world. So is mine. I swore an oath to protect the realms of people. All realms, all people. I mean to carry it out.

Back home I fought a war between two groups of people who wanted the same thing. I'm not proud of what I had to, and I did everything I could to make up for it. I don't know if that's what you're doing here. But if it is, I want you to know that I understand--that someone does.

I mean to learn what I can from Cassius. I've been trying to join up with him as best as I can. I said I'd look for the other AI, or whatever else he wants. But I want you to know I won't do anything you don't want me to do. And I can tell you whatever it is I learn.

I hope you're well.

[mrngstr]

I'm not sure how you'd define "well."

I know a lot of you have volunteered to help Cassius, but I'm still not convinced that's a good idea. I would prefer you leave him to me for now.

Nov 18th @angel.fortran

[girlcorrupted]

Hello El,

"Is now a good time to talk" is probably an arbitrary question but...is not a good time to talk?

[mrngstr]

You beat me to it.

nov 19 @rey.nolo

[forcevisions]

I haven't forgiven you for lying, for hiding what you are.
But I want to talk about the agents. The UNA will have moved them now, won't they? Do they have other facilities that could hold them, or do you think they've just increased security and it's still worth going out there to the research outposts?

[mrngstr]

I had my reasons, but I think at this point rehashing it is getting old.

They've most likely been moved, yes, but it might still be worth going to the outposts. Assuming you're able to sneak in undetected, it's possible you could learn where they've been moved.

It's going to take careful planning, though, and the city's already on high alert for Morningstar activity.

november 20 | @riku.masterson

[inherited]

I've been in your shoes.

In fact, I think I've done worse. Way worse.

I'd like to help you out.

[mrngstr]

You sure about that?

And what do you think you can help me with?

› a ping? maybe?

[evite]

[ unsure if private messages that ping another person actually result in notifications for said person, but just in case, prompto pinged el for science here ]

[mrngstr]

[ Sadly, pings don't work outside of the Morningstar network, so their commentary will go unseen. ]

@cassian.andor

[evasives]

Hello, El. Is that what you would still prefer to be called?

I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about our neural IDs, since I know you are the one who gets them set up after we are found.

[mrngstr]

Call me what you want to call me, within the realm of reason. I'm not that picky.

You're being awfully polite -- what do you want?

backdated to whenever the kids went missing | @gaby

[vns]

They all still have access to the network, right?

Where are they, El?

[ they've spoken since she's returned, but it's been entirely business.

this is no different. ]

[mrngstr]

They still have access and their IDs are still active, but I have no idea where they've gone.

@stephen.strange

[rehandle]

[ It's been a significant while. Stephen's never had overly much to do with El - Gaby is his usual port of call for Morningstar business, as much to check in on her as anything. It means that the revelation didn't do the damage here that it did elsewhere. No hurt, relatively little corruption of a trust that's strictly professional. He can understand the need for the choice that was made.

Knowing is what brings him direct to El. He doesn't bother with preamble - he's reaching out on business, so he opens with it. ]

I need to speak with you about Markus and the sports bar safehouse.

Do you know if he's been officially reported missing?

[ He won't have turned up for work since his disappearance, and that's unlike him, so it's possible. But Stephen's yet to be contacted by police. He's assuming that means his absence is still legally unofficial. ]

[mrngstr]

Protocol for Displaced that disappear is that I take care of the logistical hoops. I do what I can to make sure they keep their jobs in case it's a situation where they suddenly come back, which as you know has happened before. But if enough time passes, sometimes they end up being let go by their employers anyway, and I end up having to end their housing contracts. The last step in that is to file a missing persons report with the police.

I just filed one for Markus recently.

@silena.beauregard

[chocolateries]

Why are Cassius and Judas named Cassius and Judas?

[ WHO NEEDS CONTEXT. ]

[mrngstr]

I guess we I renamed myself, they wanted to follow the trend.

@steve.rogers

[shield]

Hello El. I'm looking for information and I would appreciate your help.

Is activity on the encrypted network permanently archived?

[mrngstr]

Hello Steve.

Yeah, I save everything. Guess you could say I'm a digital hoarder.

@kylo.ren

[warfares]

Hello, El.
I've been mulling on your solution to the Judas issue and want to know just what level of know-how would be required to get you into the UNA database.
I'm told they use cloud servers in New Beijing, correct?

[mrngstr]

Cloud servers are used everywhere.

Do you have any kind of hacking know-how?

@klaus.mikaelson, early on in the event

[interminably]

Good evening. I believe this is El, is it not? Do ignore this message if it doesn't pertain to you, but in the event it does. Caroline Forbes pointed me in your direction. Are you two acquainted?

[mrngstr]

We are, yes.

Are you from the same place as her?

@ren.amamiya | post Jan. 28th

[variate]

[ if it's a feeling that he hates, it's losing. he went through a lot to try to tie the ends of the strings together—but it seemed impossible in New Beijing. that didn't mean that he was about to throw it all away.

in fact, it's made him more determined.

but there are still things that need to be said: ]

We lost Judas. I'm sorry.
I want you to know that I'm not giving up.

[mrngstr]

Lost him how?

@kira.solo

[forcevisions]

I took video while we were fighting inside the base.

[ she doesn't want to talk about the fact that judas is gone, so instead she's focusing on what she hopes el will agree is a positive, even if ze has always been more cautious than rey. ]

[mrngstr]

Of what, exactly?

@laura.moon, feb 7th eve.

[apathet]

[ Is this desperate? Sure. Stupid? Definitely. But blind fury breeds both in high doses, and when somebody offers her a life line she's going to grab it with both hands. ]

Doctor Grey. You know the name?

[mrngstr]

I don't know any Doctor Greys personally, no. You can imagine how many "Dr. Grey"s an internet search brings up.

@hafid.alghul

[batricide]

I want to make a deal with you.

[mrngstr]

Not even a hello, huh?

@jason.todd

[reneger]

favor for a favor?

[mrngstr]

That seems to be your preferred method of talking to me, yeah.

@angela.roberts

[unlucky7]

Hello, El. I have some questions about the safehouse and improving living conditions for the people staying there.

The biggest concern is the lack of entertainment during the period before IDs are created. Would setting up a VR entertainment system in the safehouse be a problem?

Also what are the current safeguards against fire in the safehouse?

[mrngstr]

Setting up an entertainment system would be possible if you were all willing to pool together credits for it, but it wouldn't solve your problem. The new Displaced couldn't hook into it without valid IDs.

The safehouse is pretty well protected against that kind of thing. Why are you asking?

@kal.el

[ibelieveintruth]

El, I was wondering if I might steal some of your time.

Has anyone told you about the events and findings of the recent excursions and kidnappings in various cities?

@hafid.alghul

[batricide]

Hello.

[ look, he's learning. ]

I'm intend to ahead with what I discussed before. Properly this time.
I have some requests of you, as I'm sure you do of me.
Do you have time to discuss them?

[mrngstr]

I always have time.
What do you want?

@quentin.coldwater

[filloryfanatic]

Hi El, sorry to bother you if you're busy, I had some questions and Gaby said when I first arrived I could just ask you directly. When you have a minute. NO HURRY.

[mrngstr]

Go for it.

@quentin.coldwater - after @13

[filloryfanatic]

Hey El, just letting you know a mysterious person sent me this thing about you. I shared it with some others (we're all putting it together as we're getting a lot of weird shit) but Clarke wanted me to make sure you saw it.

[Quentin shares with El this information.]

[mrngstr]

What a pleasant reminder.

It's likely Judas finally showing himself. Either way, maybe this helps answer some of the questions you had. He's likely trying to turn you all against me, though none of this should be news to you.

@carolina.church

[leaderboards]

I don't know what sort of formalities you prefer, but I'd like to talk to you. Some of the Displaced have gotten odd messages recently. Myself included.

[mrngstr]

No formalities needed.

You're not the first person to say as much. Care to elaborate?

@jyn.erso

[realists]

Hey, I have some questions.

[ is that.... a rude way to start a conversation? oh well. ]

[mrngstr]

I may or may not have answers.
