[ PRIVATE to LILY ]

Hey, I got you the scarf while I was away.


[ PRIVATE to ELLIE & DICK ]

[ The messages are sent to their tablets separately: ]

Got you something.


[ Her voice, while somewhat tired, is leveled as she speaks. ]

For the time being, the clinic should be stocked with some personal hygienic products anyone might have been wondering about. There's shampoos, soaps, sanitary napkins, and pads and tampons for the ladies. There's also patches for smokers. Anything else you're looking for, like medicine or bandages, you'll have to check with someone at the clinic.

Anyway, I asked the AI the decrypt a couple of drives belonging to the UE. There were various analytical notes specializing in robotics, specifically robotic spacecraft — rovers. For those unfamiliar: a rover is a vehicle used in space explorations. Depending on the design, they can either be partially or completely operated on their own, or they can transport crews.

There's a couple of bad ideas that come to mind knowing this information: one being they may have plans to come up here eventually and if they aren't fully aware how many of us are here, they'll find out.

Research also indicated "interdimensional colonization". We've been well aware for a while they're able to access portals into other worlds.

The drives also contained some notes on Project Chimera and talks of previous genetic projects the UE's researched. I'll forward anyone who wants a copy of these notes to look over.

[ For those who ask and receive: here. ]

Has anyone begun to compile the information we have together to make it more streamlined? I imagine the AI can likely do it if you ask.

That part doesn't surprise me much at all.

[gevurah]

If they got their hands on anyone capable of surviving in space...

[heartsink]

[ moments when she is SO GLAD nobody knows jack about her powers: this one. ]

You have to assume they did.

[gevurah]

Their genetics research division works fast. Likely replicated what they needed, then.

Might already have clones. If not, near completion.

[ Then trials, etc.

... Putting metas in the rovers. Rovers are small, but depending upon their design they can transport a crew. They are in the future; probably a few of those meta children. ]

Then we've got less time than we thought.

[heartsink]

It's confirmed, then, that it's cloning?

[gevurah]

It's more speculation than anything.

The metas on the field were apparently children.

[heartsink]

Understood. Thank you.

[ a minute or two later ]

I'd say to call them "chimeras," until we know for certain, but "chimera kids" sounds like a bad TV show.

!!

[gevurah]

Chimera is more appropriate. Hybrid is usually between two.

[heartsink]

Genetics were never my strong point, anyway.

[gevurah]

Neither mine.

Or interdimensional conquest.

[heartsink]

[ ha ha ha ]

I don't know, those methods seem a little easier to pick up on. To me, at least.

[gevurah]

[ ehehe ]

Hopefully someone else picked up a drive or two with more notes on the genetics research so we can see what else they've been up to.

[heartsink]

There's carelessness and luck, and then there's orchestrated good fortune.

[gevurah]

I don't mind holding onto even the smallest bit of hope.

[heartsink]

Hope may be a light worth bearing, but take care not to blind yourself with it.

[gevurah]

I won't.
