text, un: lucina ( backdated to a day before their escape )

[tolight]

Hello, Audentes. For those of you I have yet to meet, my name is Lucina. I come bearing news.

I have spoken to a Zymandis agent. They are here, alone, and the jewelcomms are what notified her to our presence; she was willing to answer my questions, and in return, asked the same of me. The following is what I learned:

They seem believe that the Timeline is ill; the multiverse no longer has the energy to sustain itself, and will eventually meet its demise. Given this, their mission is to destroy everything, so that the Timeline will be reborn stronger. [ Those familiar with her should know there's a certain level of anger in her tone, text or otherwise. ] At least, this is what their Timeline.exe has told them— not only so, the original Timeline.exe, as well as its "update", were created by the same individual: Theodor Arbatel, their "Leader".

If anything requires clarification, I will try my best to answer them.

( ooc. the thread is here for the curious. while i've gotten a lot of info the thread is currently incomplete, so there may be delays in getting to questions from characters!! otherwise feel free to threadjack / etc. )

It was a brief mention, but... they have a stricter system of authority than we do — she mentioned that she believes what her supervisors believe are "correct".

[fateality]

Stricter, huh? Yeah, I'll bet it is.

Thanks for the info. I don't suppose we've decided on what we wanna do with her?

[He's thinking murder, personally, but he won't bring that up right now.]

Fiona suggested the possibility of the agent joining us. [ She's not entirely a fan of the idea, but she also knows that's her own emotions getting the better of her. ]

It could potentially bring us more knowledge about the enemy.

[fateality]

Or bite us in the ass. I don't have a problem with more information, but it sounds like a liability.

That's just my two silvers on it. The team can figure out the rest.

[tolight]

Do you believe that the information could be worth the risk?

[fateality]

...I don't know. Our past experiences have really told us that most of their members are resilient to interrogation methods.

But I guess that doesn't mean we shouldn't try, either. If the opportunity presents itself, better to take advantage of it, especially since it's felt like they've had the upper hand on us in a few cases.

It just seems too convenient to me to let her join us. But I know I'm not the best person to ask about extending a hand.

[tolight]

Even here — it seems she knew more about us than we about her.

... If an offer is made, it will not be done hastily. [ Or so she hopes. ]
