[ 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.

That is, admittedly, a bit worse than I'd anticipated.

I question whether there was a hiring process, beyond "grab the first fifty people we find."

[There are people with useful skills, okay. That's fine. He'll even give people who think they're more useful than they are a pass. But between children, idol singers, and a few other select cases, he's got Questions about the wisdom of this venture.]

If power guaranteed wisdom, I imagine most worlds would be in better shape.

Still, it is strange. The worst uses of power I've seen have usually been from those who inherit it, not those who have to build their bases from the ground up. Do we know how long ALASTAIR has been active?


[Long enough for management to have changed hands, maybe?]

[The most insane leader in power in his time was probably Nobunaga, and...well, the man did get shit done, at least.]

Pity. I suppose there's little we can do but go with it and look for chances to learn something.

[Glee 10, Muneshige 0. But this is a story he'd probably find fascinating even if he's got nothing that compares.]

I wasn't here for the previous mission; I've only heard secondhand. But there was no attempt at further explanation or justification, correct?
tachiboner: and come get shit house drunk with me. (just give up on your dreams)

Whether they think we won't like the explanation or simply aren't important enough to hear it, I'm not fond of the implication either way.
