[ And here appears the face of an elf, one with short and dark hair scattered with braids, tattoos swirling across her face and around her large, almost insect-like green eyes. Her smile is awkward, only half there as aware as she is that it's a poor time to smile. ]

Hello there. This is Merrill again, um. I suppose it has been some time, but then I haven't had anything worth saying. And then I did, perhaps, but it didn't seem a good time. Is it ever a good time? Well, near half a million people have been destroyed despite our best efforts. That doesn't seem like a good time.

I am sorry. Especially to those who were from there. So sorry.

But I cannot put off this question any longer. My curiosity has gotten the best of me, and maybe a distraction would not be out of place for a short amount of time. [ She clears her throat and taps a fingertip to her lower lip, near pouting. ] I suppose a joke or story would be better in that case, but there I go again with my poor sense of timing.

In any case, does anyone here know of the Chimera Project? [ The petite elf holds up a small booklet, or thick leaflet, however you choose to see it. The title is clear as day. It's stained with something, though... ] I regret to say that...ale spilled all over it in the drastic move, sorry about the appearance. But I would like to hear if any Transports or even Initiative employees know of this.

[private; Fenris]

Isn't it strange? Even now, with our friends here...our Thedas is still the most similar. Our Kirkwall, and our Hawke.

[ ooc; Sorry I might be slow on tagging back some threads until I hear more about the pamphlet thingy. Will get to them ASAP! ]

[ Some of it has been lost on her, too. Sigh. But not for long, damnit! ]

With your abilities, and others, in their control, they could create entities without limitations in the final stages.

[wolfuncaged]

They could very easily win this war. Especially if they have no limit to the soldiers they can create.

[yourdistraction]

We can't afford to lose.

[wolfuncaged]

No, we cannot. I do not understand why the fight was not brought to these people sooner. With the ability to bring in others from other worlds. They could amass an army in seconds.

[yourdistraction]

What if...the United Earth did find a way to manipulate transporters the same way? Or more efficiently?

[wolfuncaged]

If they have such abilities, why not use them now? Or even before now? I do not understand their battle tactics. [And it's bothering him. They fight like madmen, taking wild stabs in the dark and hoping they'll hit something]

[yourdistraction]

I wonder if we would have a better chance of returning home with the United Earth...

[ OH NO THE ENEMY. Well they're all the enemy. Granted the UE killed like thousand and thousand of people and fucked up Fenris but this is hypothetical. ]

Neither side can properly control the portals they have access to... But the United Earth seems to be making progress faster than the Initiative.

[ Understandable maybe given they have way more people. ]

[wolfuncaged]

I may have my issues with the Initiative, but at least they did not control my mind and cage me. If I had to choose one side, I would remain here.

[Fenris turns his nose up at your hypothetical ponderings]

[yourdistraction]

[ Well since he was kidnapped and everything, she'll be nice enough not to press. But she wants to! Why is there nobody to talk about these things with...

Well. Hawke. But that thought terrifies her because old habits die hard. ]

Then we need to do what we are able to make them more efficient, until the portals are more easily controlled. And, if the United Earth is taking resources, their access must be cut off completely.

[wolfuncaged]

[Maybe she can make a club]

Of that, I can agree with you. They cannot be given more of an advantage over us than they already have.

[yourdistraction]

Do you remember anything that could be of use against them, or this plan of theirs?

[wolfuncaged]

Much of it is what you know. That they have seemingly unlimited guards, and a very secure cell to keep their prisoners in.

[yourdistraction]

Not that secure.

[wolfuncaged]

...Well, no. Not for those who attacked it from the outside. [He's still pissy he didn't find his own way out]

[yourdistraction]

I'm surprised you couldn't just walk through the walls! They're powerful indeed.

[wolfuncaged]

My abilities were taken. Besides walking through walls is...difficult.

[You have to be careful where you solidify again or it's crushed organs city]

[yourdistraction]

Right, of course.

[ Like being a slave is better, ew! ]

...Has this changed anything for you? How you feel about being here? After all that's happened, I mean, which is quite a lot.
