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

Any history with conflict negotiation or any of that rubbish? Or history? I don't know, but if we're sending people in to meet with these poor bastards than I think we'd all prefer the group not ask useless questions

You'd know, wouldn't you.

And what, do you want me to send my resume? Should I attach a cover letter too?

[alittlesweptup]

Well if you've got one handy...

[Mike audibly sighs. This guy]

Former Philadelphia PD, former head of security for a restaurant chain, pretend I prettied it up with some other bullshit to sate your sense of humor.

[alittlesweptup]

Fair enough. What sort of questions would you want to ask the new Initiative? Hypothetically speaking

[fullmeasure]

Hypothetically speaking, I'd ask them what they know about the UE, to start.

[alittlesweptup]

Bit broad/optimistic sort of question, that

[fullmeasure]

Need to start somewhere, don't you? You don't go into an interrogation with detailed questions; you start broad and then narrow it down, depending on how they answer and the information you're hoping to get out of them.

[Bless, someone with some head for strategy. Not that anything Mike's said is particularly revolutionary, but at this point Charlie's standards are lower than they probably ought to be.]

Fair enough. I'll keep you in mind when we get round to this damn thing

[fullmeasure]

I'll be around.
