video; un: Glee Shoth

[becauses]

[ Oyez, oyez, oyez, you’ve got a call on your magical crystal. Pick up the phone and you’ll see Glee, looking serene, confident, and in her element in (1) organizing things and (2) telling people what to do. ]

It has been almost two months since we were conscripted by ALASTAIR, and we have yet to meet, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we’ve learned in person and in an orderly fashion. In light of recent… developments, increased cooperation will become a necessity to pool what we’ve learned and plan a deliberate way forward.

I expect all of you at the red warehouse between the commoner's district and the outskirts, six days from now at sundown. For those of you inclined to provoke tensions with local law enforcement, incarceration is not an excuse for tardiness or absence.

What, we gotta keep them around to rein them in?

[becauses]

Yes.

[powerdriven]

I just don't see why we should bother.

[ call it an underestimation of his peers, but it doesn't seem outside the realm of anything their likely large group can handle. ]

If anything, take note of who's missing and I'll dispatch them myself if they start a ruckus.

[becauses]

I appreciate your commitment.

But we should bother because we are a single organization, and because there is a possibility that we were chosen for this mission because all of us will be needed to succeed.

[powerdriven]

[ 'all of them will be needed' ...? why set them up to fail? ]

I'd have an easier time believing that if they'd given us any direction at all.

[becauses]

Restoring the sun is sufficient direction.

[powerdriven]

Are you gonna be saying that still when you can't convince us all to show? It's taken us this long for a reason.

[ not that he blames her, the first one to take the initiative. ]

If they're so invested in this, they should give us something more to work with. A structure, for starters.

[becauses]

I will. The hidden sun is a symptom of something very wrong with this world, and continuing to pursue that lead will get this group to the root of the problems.

ALASTAIR has not done a flawless job -- but our ultimate task is obvious.

[powerdriven]

All right. I won't waste your time complaining any further then.

I hope to see this meeting make up for some of our shortcomings.

[becauses]

As do I.

Don't be late.

[powerdriven]

I'll see what I can do.

[ he won't be. ]
