Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, July 18th. You will all be visiting a planet called Earth, where a cosmic anomaly is causing those with strong moral compulsions to lean in the direction opposing their natural instincts. The heroes of this Earth have gone from protecting the innocent to destroying them, while those who tend to harm others have begun aiding them. As I am sure you can guess from the information provided, this is causing significant stress for those residing on planet.

On this Earth, many individuals are known for having extraordinary abilities that extend beyond human limitations. Approximately ten to fifteen percent of the population have these abilities, whether they are given by genetic mutation, contact with a foreign substance, or if they are individuals from other planets who have found themselves taking up residence on Earth.

Many of you will find that while on planet, you will also have been given extraordinary abilities. To aid you in blending in, I will be providing you two identities: a name, and a pseudonym. Your identities will come with housing, bank accounts, and all necessary legalities covered.

This mission will last for four weeks regardless of success. I will be fetching all of you on August 18th.

You may bring along anything of your choosing on this mission. The portal will be large enough to support all of the vehicles I have brought to Etraya. Any animals, pets, or items left behind will be well cared for. If you have any specific instructions for their care, please leave them with my companion bots.

Thank you,
Aurora

Sounds like a trip.

We just report to this portal on Friday morning, and off we go?

Is it possible one of these identities can keep Gaia as a part of it? I'm not overly fond of being called anything else.

[ She will recognize the need for fitting in though. ]

Will the anomaly affect our morals as well?

Pardon me, you say “regardless of success” but I am uncertain as to the core of the mission. Are we to try and cure this cosmic anomaly?

Or is this like Aphaia where we are just meant to survive?

this one is rather on the nose, isn't it?

[He wonders if Aurora has enough sapience to tire of this charade, sometimes, or if her thinking is truly bound to the exact parameters Echo allows and nothing more.]

Doesn't this technically... even the planet out, still? If every person who did "good" now does "bad" and vice versa, then you still have the same amount of people doing both parts. All that's changed is who is doing it. It sounds like it's more important that certain individuals retain their moral integrity instead. Favoritism, maybe?

Only 10-15%? That's not so bad.

Pardon me, but you didn't define what success would look like in the mission briefing.

[ He's on his best behaviour, he doesn't know if she'll tolerate his sarcasm yet, better play nice for now. ]

this sounds. bad. you mean people are being forced to do things they wouldn't normally? is it this anomaly? is that causing it? if we deal with that, then everyone would be themselves again?

[He has zero knowledge about the likes of comics. He just knows this sounds a little too uncomfortably familiar to some things back home. Namely, the other black mages being convinced to fight for Kuja and the Queen.]

[ Oh No. ]

Do they have a Condiment Man?

[sophielicious]

... and we gotta blend in why again? don't want a whole planet knowing you have your hands in their business?

also, are the new powers going to stick in etraya too, because seriously.
