As apparently no one else is going to do it:

We're running missions to go digging dirt on the UE's past, but we need people to be doing info gathering here as well. Meaning we ought to have someone(s) go meet with this timeline's version of the Initiative to get as much information as possible. I know we're all feeling very cozy at the moment, but let's not pretend that it can't or won't change at the drop of a hat. Fortifying ourselves in bunkers isn't going to do us much good if we don't know what we're supposed to be defending against in the first place

Now as Christ knows I can't do it (I think we're all more than aware of what my version of diplomacy consists of), that means we need a set of proper volunteers - preferably with experience in this sort of field. If you or anyone you know might be suited to it, speak up so you can find one another and get a bloody away team wrangled

No. I suspect "unsure as shit" will suffice for now.

Talking it out does not seem like too tall an order. It's just the matter of making an appointment. Are the Initiative as elusive as they're made out to be?

Do we know who these early birds are?

Then shall we work from there, or have you other arrangements in the works? At this point, it looks as though contacting them at all should be the more difficult task.

As for the rest, if you don't have the necessary number of volunteers already, I do not mind taking part in the conversation. Although I might need to ask what kind of leverage we might have available.

To help ease the tension, so to speak.

For someone working from nothing, you seem to have a decent grasp of what it is you're looking for.

I suppose the short of it is that I'm a government official within the census bureau in Tokyo, Japan. As for how long I've been here, then unfortunately not very long at all -- but I've done the research necessary in the past month to carry a convincing conversation.

But if you don't trust the claim, then I wouldn't mind an interview. Even then, leading the talk can be left to more seasoned hands, if my novelty looks to be an inconvenience.

What they're doing at present, for starters.

Our fellow time travelers must've been responsible for an economical blunder of disastrous proportions for the Initiative to be ostracized to this extent.

I suppose it must be a little easier, however, to deal with corporations than a totalitarian government. If there are any under-the-table dealings, let's hope they are doing more good than harm.
