SHELL meeting today. Noon, the rec center. Please remember it's secret.

[Once everyone has arrived, and newcomers have been invited to introduce themselves, Don will start the discussion.]

The moonfall. Was any of that real?

((OOC note: I meant to write "But I wonder if we should post about the droids over the locked network.", but I am an idiot.))

There's still intel that they don't know about - That they don't know they could get out of people from the kidnappings. Doesn't look like they interrogate people.

[Her voice is neutral, but she closes her eyes to avoid the sight of the group. Four members of this group had been kidnapped, and three of them saw the intel about the droids.]

I'm asking this because someone could get their hands on a droid, and it wouldn't be someone from this group. But it's still sensitive intel.

[The Spartan does see where he's coming from. She reacted the same way when she heard about the possibility of her group going public for morale.]

[Robert is partially ashamed about this. He wonders, perhaps, if part of the reason he was taken was because of this, or whether it was entirely unrelated...]

I w-was... uncertain whether the Malnosso were capable of... picking through our minds at will to begin with.

...

At first I... th-thought it feasible, simply due to experiments, but... [Awkwardly:] ... It has become obvious that we are aware of th-things that... that they would rather us not be.

[... Which begs the question of how exactly the Shifts do their work...]

... Distributing the information could... p-potentially prove useful, but at the same time... it is a significant risk.

We can't really be certain what the Malnosso know of our minds. They certainly seem to know us well to make their experiments suitably ironic at times. I don't recall being interrogated during my time in their cells, but who knows what effects their drugs had?

Hm. I'm still against the idea, but perhaps we should discuss how we would present the information were we to post it to the comms. What is our goal in doing this?

[daisy023]

If they interrogated us, they wouldn't need the Information missions. They would already know what's in the locked network. And we're not even counting the Rogue Faction.

[She pauses to think. They knew of her first home. They knew about her sister. Were the shifts and experiments independent from the actions of the Malnosso? She knows there is severe division within the Malnosso, so do they all know only parts of the truth?]

What I want is to keep options open in case someone else finds shifting tech. But he'd need to spread the information somehow... and could screw up.

Rem was found out because of that.

[Because people didn't know to keep their mouths shut. She remembers old lessons: Secrets are lives.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

Perhaps what we need is a way for the villagers to be aware what information we have without actually posting the information itself publicly across the network? Or at least try and ensure they know who to come to with shifting tech...

[Don shifts uncertainly. On the one hand, advertising their mission could help ensure that important information is funnelled to the people who are best equipped to study it. On the other hand, all his instincts are telling him to remain secretive about this work.]
