I have information to share with you all, about information that we lack.

[a pause.]



For as long as we have endured this world, changed it or watched it change well beyond our control, the amount we do know is vastly smaller than what we don’t. Perhaps never will. So it is that our struggles are like...swiping in the dark, feeling out shapes and phantoms we can perceive as guesses at best. Or, maybe better...there are suggestions of light to trace out those shapes, but never enough to be certain. Only enough to strike.

The artificial intelligence we rescued has confirmed there is no exact point recorded for the origin of the United Earth’s ruling computer. It makes sense: History is written and told by those in power. The less we understand about it, so more is the advantage and threat it has against us. As it stands, we don’t know what dire impact we may have caused in altering the world to this state. We don't know how long days like these can last, what is in the works over there.

Regardless of what is chosen for our steps in the future, I believe it in everyone’s interest to know about this machine’s past. AI has offered the chance to piece together the missing history of the United Earth, should we wish it.

[another pause.]

The problem with this is the exact one it seeks to resolve: I can’t tell you what to expect.

The point of focus to start is the very day the United Earth is established, and the records of it are vague at best, pointedly pro-UE throughout. What may be waiting there could be dangerous or not at all.

It’s why this is something everyone should hear and understand. Something everyone can put a hand in, in some way. Powerful fighters, quick-thinking saboteurs, hackers, healers…

But going in all at once, as an army, may not be the best approach. A small number to survey, relay information, and signal reinforcements should there be a need...Which means a greater number waiting on standby for a potential call.

The AI itself can be carried to this point in time by way of one of the diamond drives, and, given the chance to digest as much as it can in that particular point in time...it can clear the path for greater understanding of what was at work to build this enemy.

It means this isn’t a single trip, but the springboard to a number of missions. It’s knowledge to be gained to make wiser choices for the here and now...and tomorrow and yesterday, perhaps. I can’t say what’s right, how much of a hand we should have in this world’s history.

At the least, we can paint for ourselves a better picture of the world we are all trapped in...and, maybe, glean some sense of what kind of impact we make on it, living as we do.

Should you wish to do this, I can give you what little information there is to work with. And that's something that can change and grow.

Hrm. A techie would be good to work with. If you're interested in teaming up, of course.

Perhaps. What is it that you can do?

[it'd be nice if they were the offensive sort so she could play support, she thinks. there still hasn't been enough time for her to feel confident in her own abilities.]

Decent with a sword in a pinch. Magic music, and manipulation of the fragile psyches of humanoids in various ways, more importantly.

And can I trust that you won't turn that on me?

I don't use my powers purposelessly. Ever.

So, no, it's not turning against a teammate.

Purposelessly is a subjective state. You can understand why I just wanted to make sure.

Right. Fair enough, to be clear. But really, I'd prefer to stick to morale bonuses when it's people I'm fighting aside.

In that case we're going to need some people who can fight in this group.

[since she knows her own limits and won't be blazing through a crowd any time soon.]

That... Could be a tough part...

Do you know of anyone who might be willing to fill that role?

We should probably ask around, the first people I'd ask are probably already on a team.
