[ It's not video this time for no apparent reason. The reasons are not apparent because you can't see him. It's like a catch-22, just without the catch, or maybe the other twenty parts involved. Maybe even twenty-one. Who knows. ]

Friends, transports, exiles, lend me your engineers. [ Appreciate that stunning wordplay for a moment. ]And your scientists, assistants, researchers, mechanics, and technicians. Anybody who can function in a room filled with things that they sort of understand and not break each one systematically. And pass a basic skills test. You have to actually be able to do the job.

And speaking of that - I'm employing people. Contrast Mechanics is starting up and I need basicaly everybody. So, Exsilium, what've you got?

my dad knew him

[motherofnemesis]

so what, you grew up with stories of him saving the day?

[fe_male]

you could say that.

[motherofnemesis]

i'm just kind of surprised it lasted

[fe_male]

... why?

[motherofnemesis]

idk. i guess your world still has heroes?

[fe_male]

you could say that

[motherofnemesis]

you obviously but i mean like

established, do they have groups and clubs and patrols and stuff

[fe_male]

well there's us, but idk how much we actively patrol
i sweep for stuff but don't go looking for it
idk i don't think there's as many as it sounds like your world has

[motherofnemesis]

anyone started talking about trying to regulate you guys yet?

[fe_male]

uh i'm pretty sure they didn't actually want us to even become a team, so not really

[motherofnemesis]

huh. well, good luck then.

[fe_male]

what

[motherofnemesis]

eventually they're going to decide you're a threat and try to shut you down
ten to one

[fe_male]

actually they already shot a nuke at us so i feel like that sort of happened already

[motherofnemesis]

a nuke? well that was fast. why a nuke?

[fe_male]

just what they had on hand at the time i guess

[motherofnemesis]

no, why did they need to shoot anything at you?

[fe_male]

alien portal

[motherofnemesis]

that doesn't make any sense without other words surrounding it

[fe_male]

1. they already didn't like us
2. there was a portal
3. we weren't closing it fast enough
4. they decided to just nuke manhattan to be on the safe side
5. i took care of it we still have a manhattan

[motherofnemesis]

what sort of total idiots 'just nuke manhattan' oh my god

[fe_male]

there was 7.4 billion dollars worth of damage to the city as it was, but yeah it was a stupid move.

[motherofnemesis]

what was causing that much damage?

[fe_male]

aliens. little ones and giant fucking space caterpillar whale things, hand to god. and us, incidentally, but really mostly the aliens
