With the Quad in a state of uncertain change, it is imperative that we all do what we can to remain unified. Whether you live for money, for your family, or for your future, no one benefits from unmitigated chaos and organized hatred.

Please, share here your woes, your triumphs - any stories you have to offer from recent days in your lives. Together, we can offer an understanding of the Quad that no individual could ever possess alone. Through a picture painted in all colors - Company, Resistance, Leithan, Westerlyn - we can find an image of our common goal.

Speak to one another. Ask for help. Offer condolences. Seek common ground.

We're all in this together.

i dunno about common ground, but talking about how much things suck sounds pretty demoralizing.

[hydrokinetics]

Demoralizing. That's a good word for it. You think maybe that's what they're really after instead?

[Whoever. They. Are...]

[pesto]

could be, who knows what people want these days.

for all we know, this guy (girl?) could be anyone with access to the network.

... though they kinda sound posh, if you know what i mean. the word choices, and all that.

[hydrokinetics]

Yeah, I can think of at least a handful of people who fit that description and have access to the network. Depends how far up on the scale we need to be thinking.

Do you even want to know?

[pesto]

who the people are?

... might be nice to know. but honestly, i'd much rather know what they want from us than who they are.

[hydrokinetics]

I'm thinking the same thing. The timing's kind of weird too if you think about it for too long. I'm not that great at navigating signals though to trace the source.

[ Because technically, technically, he's still hired by the Company. So begrudgingly, after a minute or two — ]

neither am i, but we can try having a crack at it. might find something useful. [ Two minds are better than one, probably. ]

[hydrokinetics]

[Thank you Fitz, you are appreciated despite working for the scum known as the Company...]

Worth a shot. If we can at least get an idea where it's coming from it'll be easier to narrow down what they want. What do you want me to try from my end?

[pesto]

[ Wow look, they're not all bad, maybe, probably. ]

i'm still at work [ Disclaimer: don't text at work. ] but see if you can at least find a signal to pick up on.

then maybe i can pick up from wherever you get stuck, or something. [ He actually has put in 0 thoughts into how this should work. Uh. ]

[hydrokinetics]

I'll do what I can. It's slower here today, I was thinking of cutting out early. This'll be a good enough project until then.

[They're both flying blind, that sounds great.]

Tracing it might be the easy part unless the encryption on it is so high the signal cuts out. I'll pick at it and keep you posted.
