"You say you don't like it, but you're never careful about what you touch. When you fondle that guy's personal effects, I think you should take responsibility."


"Shouldn't there be some way of talking our way into inspecting the towers without raiding them?"

"Shouldn't there be some way of talking our way into inspecting the towers without raiding them?"

She doesn't understand. I wish she could, would. Hell. You can't control it, not.. not really. You can only ride it out and hope you come out whole on the other side.

"Precognition and postcognition can't be controlled, at least not completely. Just the fact that I can share those visions with others is unusual. I've never heard of anyone else being able to do it." Hope tried to explain.

"I mean, I'd have to live completely isolated from everyone and everything in order to avoid triggering the postcognition through touch, never mind that I can have a vision just by being in the same room as the object. It's not like a light switch I can turn on or off. And now.... Now that I am apparently developing pre-cog as well, I don't even know if I can control that at all."

She leaned back, looking distant. "Sometimes, it happens when I'm asleep, when I'm doing something completely unrelated to a murder investigation. Objects connected to something like murder have the highest percentage of triggering a vision, but it... It can happen at any time." she looked at Star. "Gloves won't help, I've tried that in every combination imaginable. The visions come, whether I will or no. That's what being a seer means. It's not like a spell I can cast at will or a power to turn on and off."

"The only thing I can control is deliberatly opening myself up to that, whatever the visions come from." she chuckled darkly. "And even then, I can't predict whether or not I'll have a vision."

Poor Hope, Skylark thinks. She seems a tad batty. An' has problems with her powers. I guess I can relate, like when I thought making gravitational warp tunnels would collapse the planet. Actually, come to think on it... nah... in any case, I wouldn't wish to worry them.

She leans on the table, resting her head in her hands. "So I will provide a retreat wit' a warp tunnel. An' Mr. Wren can substitute if I am unable. Good.

Should we consider performing reconnaissance on the factory simultaneous wit' searching for Mr. Markum? On the chance that 'e's not about. Also, have we nothing on Mr. Markum's agent?"

ooc:
Difficulties with um perception is a normal problem for seers. Comes with the territory. At least Hope realizes it and is taking steps to keep it under control.

"No, he's a source, not an agent. Markum hasn't reported anything useful about him other than that he works at the factory, and must have pretty good access. the way I see it, you have two basic sets of options. The first is to attract Markum's attention, then talk him into revealing the source. The second is to attract Markums' attention in order to track him and find the source. In both cases you need a ploy to flush him out, and in both cases, step two will be tricky."

"Reconning the factory is only worth it if its unlikely you'll get noticed. You will probably need Markum's source to get very far."

Wren's eyes rise, as he finished his perusing of the information, meeting the eyes of the new woman. "If we need a quick retreat, I have been working on fine tuning that little ability, and I'm ready to use it. Just stick somewhere within my vision, and close enough for me to use it. I can get us all out, as well as anything or anyone else that we deem pertinent for extraction."

"On a more direct note, I like the idea of reconnaissance on the factory. The more information we have, the better equiped we will be for dealing with things as they arise. I'm tired of going in blindly and coming out frantic and even with one less friend at times. For that, Optic, Is there any way to link our visors on some way, only upon need, so that we can all view another allies visor vision? That way, should one of use be able to get an advantageous view of things, we can all share the link. Also, should one of us come into danger, the others will know it and be prepared on what we are facing. Like seeing around a corner, it's a safety precaution."

"Good idea, also we could use some time to practice working together. Every battle we've fought in, we've basically been doing our own thing. Which is why we've been getting so badly hurt. No coordination." Hope offers.

Blue notes "So first you mean actually getting HUD visors for everyone. Well, we sure know that's easy. We can reproduce them based on Optic's visor, hooked into your phones. We won't be able to get you a full vision suite right away, but certainly we can get a lot of info in there, and neural controls...of course, there is the Control Freak problem....Well, if he can already do that, we're kinda screwed anyway...We won't be able to get there for you permanently, but we can rush some limited-use prototypes for ya. They will have a limited amount of power though. Optics draws from his suit."

"If I could see what Optic does," Star adds, aproving of the plan to network HUDs "then I could shoot around corners or the other side of walls and not get hurt."

"It does make us a lot more vulnerable to anything that can tap into our transmissions, since they'll get visuals and locations instead of just our comments. It's easier to be careful about what we say than what we see."
