[This takes place after this particular thread. Also, she knows about the Shifting excuse but she still wants to complain, dammit.]

The Malnosso are complete idiots.

Why can't I go? I am perfectly capable of handling myself, and with me present, the infiltration would run even smoother. What does "not compatible" even mean?

[There is a growl

[couldhavedanced]

Excuse me, what?

Of all of the people involved, they're not letting you go? That doesn't even make any sense.

[orchidsandfire]

Their reasoning is nonsensical to all but themselves.

[couldhavedanced]

You're telling me that the strongest woman I know, possibly ever, can't even go and...help out for no good reason? That's completely unfair.

[She's kind of mad, too--she'd have felt better about this if Diana was going.]

[orchidsandfire]

That's what they told me when I volunteered. [A sigh. There is a long-ish pause as she attempts to be reasonable.] If there was a good reason for denying me, I would have liked to have been informed.

[lookslikeajob]

I don't think your abilities are the problem, Diana.

[orchidsandfire]

[She calms down a bit since it's Clark.] Then what is?

[lookslikeajob]

Well I can't say I understand the situation exactly, but here's my theory. They aren't letting you ["and me", he mentally adds] out not because they don't want to, but because they can't. Whatever they're using to get the others where they need to be either won't work on you at all or won't have the right effect.

[At least, thinking about it this way is the reason he's not going crazy himself not being able to help out. Especially with Bruce out there.]

[orchidsandfire]

They need to fix whatever is wrong with their equipment. [She mutters something about Batman being a lucky bastard.] Leaving both of us out? Is not a good decision at all.

[He doesn't really mean to answer this -- he's not really in the habit of answering posts from people he doesn't know -- but he can't help the derisive snort. Once he realizes that the journal most likely picked that up, he speaks.]

Agreed.

[orchidsandfire]

They're not sending you, either?

[likeafirework]

'Not compatible.'

[orchidsandfire]

I suppose all we can do now is trust that those who are compatible are capable of pulling the mission off.

[no_use_running]

But, if you're someone who could post this and let the enemy read it, it's probably better that you don't know any more of the plans.

[orchidsandfire]

One, you can't filter against them. Two, I didn't give any important information out. [But she acknowledges that she was a little in the wrong. Even if it's so. hard.] Nevertheless, Bil has now filtered this post against the enemy.

[no_use_running]

I'm sorry. Normally, I'd have moved on and not said anything here. But it put a lot of people in danger. We couldn't trust you in battle, either.

[couldhavedanced]

Excuse me, are you serious? Do you even know who you're talking about? Diana has done everything for this place. She's one of the strongest people here, and not only that, she gives everything to help people. If you can't trust Diana, well...I'd have to say you don't know what you're talking about. You don't have a single clue, Miss.

[malnosso]

Oh dear! Please, miss. I understand your frustration, but this is highly sensitive information!

[And immediately, he's upgrading her post to be Filtered To Residents Only, just like his own. With any luck, he caught this just in time!]

[orchidsandfire]

[Oops. She really should learn not to let her emotions rule her actions.] ...Thank you for the filter.
