how many people need a primer on survivalism for this mission?
general headcount and identifications would be useful, so others can keep an eye out for you also, once we're in.

( to be helped, of course. )

gathering some info on this already, so I'll edit a bit later to add a basic guide below.

I suppose the greed of men in power knows no bounds in every universe.

Well, that sounds awful.
Why would I tell someone my greatest weakness?
Wait
Is this the getting to know you thing they wanted?
On second thought that doesn’t sound great at all.
Awful. Terrible. Disgusting.

[No one should be forced to divulge information to strangers that they do not wish to tell.]

[counterstep]

is that what you'd call Echo?

yeah
and yeah
I think they're just using this as a front to get more intel
but I don't know for what

[waytodie]

Not sure yet.
Haven’t met any of them. Except the computer girl, I guess.

Is it not just the classic “control the world” scheme, you think?
That seems to be what so many want.
Not me. That sounds exhausting.
Too many people’s problems to deal with. I do not even want to deal with my own.

[counterstep]

no one's 'met' Echo
for the record

tell me about it
if it's supposed to be the usual control scheme, they're definitely putting way too much effort into pretending it's not, though
while still being excessively suspicious

if I have to choose between mine or someone else's, I'd pick someone else's though

[waytodie]

Shadow organizations are my favorite kind.

I am not serious for the records.
I know the jokes do not land quite so well like this.
Unfortunate really, because I am really funny.

If what they say is true— with all these worlds out there… maybe it is less dominating one and taking them all instead.

Depends on what their problem is, maybe.
I have skills that make some problems go away very easily but others need such delicate hands, and then maybe I am not your girl.

[counterstep]

yep
just the most fun always
named figureheads that hold untold amounts of implied power etc etc

don't worry, I kind of picked it up from your responses already
we'd probably get along great in person
text is just always gonna be awful at tone though

it's rare for someone to try under the guide of helping though, no? I'd expect most to weaponize a more direct fear to better take advantage of the situation

hell, I'll take the delicate problems is you don't
anything to get outta my head is just peachy

[waytodie]

They definitely never do anything awful and underhanded.
Or ruin countless lives.
Yeah, I don't love the way this Echo is conducting themselves, I have to admit.

Oh, excellent. I hope you know that is basically an invitation to come bother you sometime now.

Probably. But maybe they decided to learn from the mistakes of others.
Do something more unexpected, catch people all unawares.
Then by the time everything is realized, it's too late.

We'll split the work.
Team work makes the dreamwork, yes?
