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.

[forcevisions]

Because they took Kurt Fischer back, got the information about his interrogation, and killed him themselves.

[ it's almost too brutal to conceptualize, but rey feels obligated to remind herself of the reality of what they're dealing with. if the una would kill their own people just to pin it on morningstar, they're more abominable than she'd previously thought. ]

What do you know about the outposts already? I know Peggy and Riku have been looking into them, but they seem above board on the surface from what I've heard. That means they're probably doing legitimate research out there too, right?

[mrngstr]

They're claiming they killed him, anyway.

I did some digging and found three active research outposts within a 200 mile radius. I can forward the information along. And yeah, they'd be doing legitimate research too -- it'd be a complete waste of resources otherwise. As you may have noticed, this world isn't big on that.

[forcevisions]

I've noticed.

You think they didn't kill him? But the family.

[mrngstr]

His family isn't allowed to see him anyway. How would they know?

[forcevisions]

If Fischer is still alive, he's proof that the UN is lying to everyone.
He's proof that Morningstar isn't what they say.

[mrngstr]

Right.

But trying to find proof of that isn't going to be easy.

[forcevisions]

Don't the soldiers have IDs?

[ we'll return to the point of getting out to the outposts undetected shortly, but she's fixated on her guilt right now. ]

[mrngstr]

Not easily trackable ones.

[forcevisions]

But if he's still alive, and we find him, there's a way to prove it's him.

[ that's hope, at least. and a direction. it's more than she had before this conversation started. ]

If you were going to get to the outposts, how would you do it? Travel outside of the city is highly regulated, isn't it?

[mrngstr]

They could have also changed his ID and given him a new name. It's not the most elegant way to shove this all under the rug, but I wouldn't put it past them.

You'd have to buy a ticket to another city on a route that would take you near one of the outposts and then hop off the train in between stops. Or figure out when they're dropping off supplies to one of the outposts and stowaway.

[forcevisions]

I take it conditions out there aren't better than they were during the EMP.

[ it won't have recovered that fast. hopping off a train early will mean a long hike to an outpost in the heat. thanks, obama cassius. ]

I'll see what I can find.

[ there's a considerable delay in her getting around to saying: ] Thanks.

[mrngstr]

Yeah, sure. All I ask is that you report back with whatever you turn up.
