[walkingthevoid]

There is always a bigger picture. If we pool our resources and knowledge, we may all learn more about what happened here so that we may stop an event like this from happning again.

I will be near the site if anyone would like to discuss our next course of action and prefers the discretion of speaking face to face. I will share what I know as we gain more information.

[basically Ikora wants all ur rumours. I'm happy to swtich to action or set up a log for people who want to meet her in person.]

[Shima is already hanging around the Market District, taking a break from helping a vendor cycle out their inventory. He's been listening to gossip all day, and while it mostly sounds like speculation, he's certainly curious enough about what other people have heard to offer to share his piece.]

Mostly sounds like the whole mess brought out some people's unflattering opinions about their leaders.

((ooc: threadjumps welcome))

[walkingthevoid]

Do you think this discontent could be a possible motive?

[worldlyafflictions]

Haha, naah, the marketplace would be a weird target then, wouldn't it? Some people just deal with a crisis by being critical! They were blaming it on the lady that runs that big clinic.

[ while lance isn't really looking into spreading misinformation around —
he's still not sure how to feel about what he'd overheard, after all, let alone what to do with it — this particular text has him unable to keep quiet. ]

leaders?
which one?

[worldlyafflictions]

[Shima on the other hand has no qualms about spreading around what he'd heard, he doesn't have a stake in anything yet, after all, and he figures people can decide for themselves what to believe.]

The lady that runs the clinic. Risa?
Lysa

Didn't seem like anything but gossip though
Like she's too smug about having lots of patients now
so she must've had the bomb planted to force people to need her care
Her sweetness is just an act
etc.

I don't know anything about her but I guess it's interesting that some people would jump to a conclusion like that.

I hate to be "that person" but how can we be sure it's safe to talk to you.

[maipokerface]

How does anyone know if anyone else is safe to talk to at this point? It's all a gamble, you may as well get used to that now.

[winddaughter]

Fair. I don't think putting important information is a good idea though. Even if this person is trustworthy--every one of us has access to this Network. It's counterproductive is all I'm saying.

[walkingthevoid]

You can't. There is always risk when you come into a new situation. I can assure you I'm only interested in stopping something like this from happening again but it is up to you whether or not to take the risk of trusting me.

[winddaughter]

Ugh. I'll come find you. I don't trust the Network.

[she doesn't even think she has anything super useful but she'd rather stay safe]

I'm from the Institute, looking into it.

[ Looking into the people around it, more like, but Bruce needs some fresh air from hanging around the lab. ]

[ The next message is a GPS ping to a street nearby the blast, somewhere to start. ]

Y/N?

[walkingthevoid]

[She's already near there when she checks the message.]

I'll be there shortly.

what kind of information are you looking for
exactly...

[walkingthevoid]

Anything that will help us understand how and why this attack happened. Even the most irrelevant sounding information may lead to something.

[competing]

is that okay?
i mean
some people are really spooked right now right?
the stuff theyre saying
it might just be fear

[idealog]

I'd be happy to help out. I'm currently doing some research of my own on the situation.

[walkingthevoid]

Have you discovered anything interesting?

Text; un: Iceheart

[ysayle]

Will this information only be shared with those on this network? Or with those deemed capable of being held to account?

[walkingthevoid]

I prefer to work in trades - if you have information to give, you will receive some in return. Everyone on this network can see this message but if you prefer to work together on this in private or anonymously I will respect that.

I heard some stuff about the Sanctuary! I don't know ho relevant it is, but maybe someone who works there can confirm?

I've heard there's a portion of the clinic that's closed off and restricted. Now, that could mean anything, you know? Maybe it's in disrepair and dangerous, maybe it's a quarantine area? Or maybe there's something there they don't want people getting into?

How mysterious...

[walkingthevoid]

Mysterious indeed.

Do you know how long it's been closed off?

[ unfortunately, rai had never been proficient in communication. spoken was one thing, but the more daunting of it all was: written communication. the kind that was texted. while he's learned the basics from the children, he is often lacking in one or two areas. which is likely exhibited in the manner in which he texts. ]

meet me in the market district ^^~
kk ^^~

[ it seems... mocking in hindsight, but unfortunately, rai is actually very serious about this. ]

always!

[walkingthevoid]

How will I know it is you?

These kinds of things always and forever make people question everything about their status quo, trust me. Disrupt everyone's little bubble and suddenly every one is suspect and their every complaint that they've bottled up until now has to be spewed out for a lot of people to hear.

So far as I'm concerned it's probably a relatively new syndicate of people with inexperienced 'people'. No experienced terrorist is gonna get snapped up that quickly, not unless they really want to, or they're too busy hanging around to watch the 'carnage' to pay attention to the fact that they're gonna have to get out of Dodge.

Anyone hanging around to watch like that most likely has a grudge, anyway, and that's a whole other angle to get in to.

[walkingthevoid]

If that's the case then they will be easier to shut down, but we still must act. There are parties that have not been caught yet other than the refugees named by that woman.
