PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

[badlydisarmed]

Yeah, that's like step 1 of overthrowing an existing regime.

[ascarylady]

Step 1 should be know you can handle it before doing it.

[badlydisarmed]

Oh, she can handle it. She's very well-liked, she just picked her elite strike team wrong.

[ascarylady]

Pretty sure she picked people she thought were expendable at this point.

So does the well-liked thing only apply to her loyal troops? Because none of you seem to agree with that.

[badlydisarmed]

Everyone close to her is die-hard loyal or acts like it. I liked her, which in hindsight makes no sense because I don't like people, especially authoritarian dictators.

[ascarylady]

You're right. That doesn't make sense.

When did you START disliking her?

[badlydisarmed]

As soon as we started talking about the mission once we were here.

[ascarylady]

So either you're hilariously suggestible, or something else is happening with this lady.

[badlydisarmed]

I'm thinking mindfuck powers but I really wish I wasn't.

[ascarylady]

All the more reason not to send anyone back, even the bozo who wants to try killing her.

[badlydisarmed]

Bozo is beyond my sphere of influence. If he wants to go on a suicide mission, me telling him not to will only make him wanna go more.
