so is pass and fail just a judgment on our performance, or do we reckon it's gonna come back and bite us in the ass in the future?

aurora said she missed us, by the way. ( those are not the words she used. ) she also said that she and eos are free to run their cities in whatever way works for the people under her care, as long as we're well-taken care of.

but, thing is, she gets to define that. says she gets to learn from her actions and inactions in relation to us.

which is something to keep in mind when we're acting as a group or not acting as a group and trying to get answers, or choosing which rules are okay to break and which rules are okay to stretch.

because between here and moorecroft, right now i'd say we've got the better end of the deal.

my first experience with these worlds was moorecroft
.
besides the obvious no night terrors and no family units what are the main differences between etraya and moorecroft
?

[westcoasts]

no jobs, no expectations on how we conduct ourselves between missions.
etraya's newer, less developed - half the places you see here now weren't here when we first arrived. with time, i guess it could become similar to moorecroft, but i feel like aurora's priorities are different to eos's.

...aurora's younger than eos. has a big thing about making sure we're "comfortable".

[hauntedsnowfall]

i see
.
so aurora is still figuring out how to best govern us
...
do we know if they are in any sort of competition with each other
?
should we be concerned about invading armies or the like
?

[westcoasts]

she admitted as much when i spoke to her about it.

they're siblings.

( sent as if that answers precisely anything at all. )

the guys at moorecroft said they've had to fight other bubbles now and again, so ... it's a possibility, i guess. for a mission, probably.

but i don't think armies are the biggest thing we've got to worry about, not on a day-to-day basis.

[hauntedsnowfall]

[ He's seen too many siblings trying to kill each other for this to be comforting. ]

and what would you consider to be the biggest thing to worry about here
?

[westcoasts]

( clint's brother tried to kill him once but it's fine. they got over it. just sibling things, innit.

the question earns a couple of typed-out responses that don't get sent, bubbles and dots appearing and disappearing.

that's complicated. )

between missions, it's pretty quiet. most of what i got to worry about here is personal.

but for what it's worth, place feels different since we came back from moorecroft. i dunno if that means the place changed while we were gone or if that means we weren't all that came back from moorecroft.

[ Dimitri is dead set on removing his step-sister's head after her involvement in his family's murder... that might not qualify as sibling things.

If that is the case Dimitri gets the feeling the biggest problem he is going here will be the quiet. He's never done well with idle time. Too much thinking. ]

you mentioned acting as a group
,
is this network the best method to get ahold of one another
?
if something came with us it may be useful to track it
.

[ He is still getting used to the word 'text' being a verb, but this message system seems better than a bulletin board or holding frequent meetings. ]

[westcoasts]

( clint's never done well with downtime either, for much the same reason. )

yeah, unless you wanna walk from apartment to apartment, knocking on people's doors.
or else you can just message people privately.

if we could tag it...

[hauntedsnowfall]

this has been quite helpful thank you
.
i will hunt around and see what may be lurking out there
.

[ Dimitri has no idea what 'tagging' it means in this context, but assumes it's either tag-teaming to take it down, or perhaps something with tracking. ]

[westcoasts]

( wAIT. )

maybe don't it alone?

[hauntedsnowfall]

i assure you i will not get lost
.

[ Clearly that would be the only concern here. ]

[westcoasts]

great.

but that's not what i'm worried about.

[hauntedsnowfall]

[ Dimitri will consider this. It has been years since he has really worked with a team. An army may have been gathering around him back in his home world, but he hadn't really worked with them. Rather beside or in front of them. ]

you mentioned it was quiet here between missions however are there any threats i should be aware of
?
otherwise if it eases your concerns i can stick to reconnaissance for the time being
.
