"Well, it's not like we would say we worked for the government anyway."
(When exactly is it in game?)
"Wow, honored to meet you Mr. Simmons. From one superhero to another, how do you get abs like that?"
(What do you mean? If you mean when is the game, its in the present. If you mean in the game specifically, this is still just after you've gotten back. The infirmary staff has temporarily left, other than Red, who as a department head apparently already knows this stuff.)
(Well, I mean in the sense that time passing in the game doesn't seem to passing at the same rate in real life. The game is more than a year old(!) but not many in game days have been mentioned as passing. So I was sort of assuming that game started at roughly present day and moved from there. But it's not like super hero stories are known for their rigorous timekeeping...)
"So how did the upload process work out?"
Skylark happens to wander into the infirmary, as that is where everyone seems to be. "Wotcher, Nitro." Then she notices 'Mr. Gray,' and is astonished.
"Gor blimey, 'ow did they stuff yer brain inta a computer?" Maybe now, with higher clearance, they will let her study some more alien tech!
After everything that has happened, this surprise on top of so many others, doesn't shock her much, but it does make her think.
"We're at war aren't we?" Hope asks softly. "Not just with our powers, but with our own images, which Barrington is only too happy to use against us. He's... He's planning something terrible, I think something that'll make the Terminus invasion look like a walk in the park by comparision, if we don't stop it." she shivered at the memory of the vision she had, of the missles coming down and the spirits of the dead zooming into that building, device?
"Yes. We think that is so. Im interested, everyone, in your read of the situation. Where do you want to go from here."
Meanwhile, Errant steps into the room. For now, he's just watching. He's been told to add himself into the conversation when appropriate (FYI, he knows what Gray told them...he is being transferred from Chi Directorate, the intelligence branch of the Trust, a group that answers directly to Mr. Gray and is often privy to info like this.)
