[the day after the robot uprising, after power’s been restored and the streets have been swept clean, jason’s here on the network with something to say about it - carefully, of course. he knows they’re being watched and he knows this is likely to put a target on his back, but that’s basically the story of his life. hasn’t stopped him before and it won’t stop him now.]

This city’s the third place I’ve been shipped off to since the last time I was home, and you know one thing that’s been the same everywhere? Sooner or later, there’s always some kind of weird and terrible attack waiting to happen.

[maybe a philosopher or social scientist would posit a hypothesis about the nature of living based on similar observations, but jason’s no philosopher. he’s a man of action, unwilling to sit back and do nothing when he sees a problem he knows how to fix.]

I used to teach self-defense in the last place I got shuffled off to, and I’m thinkin’ it’s time for class to be back in session. I don’t have a place yet, and I know some of us already know how to fight. Some of us’ve even got special abilities - metahumans, mutants, or you got some kinda upgrade from one of the shops here. But you can always learn more, and you always need more practice. I dunno about the rest of you, but I’m sick of seeing people get hurt or killed ‘cause they don’t know how to fight back when the weird and terrible things attack. So I’m gonna show anyone who wants to know how to fight back. And if any of you wanna help? The more the merrier.

[Did it take Mira like 20 minutes to enter a username because she expected the system to assign her one and then froze up in fear of doing it wrong when she had to choose it herself? Maybe.]

If someone is qualified to teach me the proper rituals for the use of these devices, I would appreciate it.

[tl;dr Mira, despite being from a space empire in the 401st century, thinks there are animist spirits inside her phone and terminal that will get mad and refuse to work if she does the wrong thing.]

My name is Hank Anderson, I'm a patrol officer with Dualis's police. I think I met a few people at the Dualis Days festival, many of them during the unfortunate opening ceremonies.

The police are conducting an official investigation but I want to conduct my own independent investigation. In my experience that usually solves cases a little more quickly. [That's how he and Connor made it as far as they did, superseding what was technically required of them. The end result was also the better result for the world, not the preferred result for the powers that be, too.]

I know some of you were close to the bombing. If you're interested and able to give me some information I'll be in the kitchen on floor six for the rest of the evening.

[Anyone that comes to find him will be lucky. For the moment he'll be listening to some jazz he loaded onto a music player and speaker he found in a thrift shop rather than metal. But you better believe when it's necessary he'll switch to metal if he has to. In the meantime he's also reading an actual paper book, a softcover novel that he was lucky enough to find.]
