Well that was some surprise last night wasn't it? I swear, you can't escape extremists in this world. They're either trying to get you to convert to Catholicism or sacrifice some animal. Who knows, but this morning's article has me feeling rather uneasy. The fact that these cultists want to disconnect the life support systems of the hospitals is ( Read more... )

Extremists have always been a problem.

Have these cultists been a problem at Siren's Port or have they just emerged?

text angelify March 1 2011, 18:27:28 UTC

That depends what you'd consider a cult.

Hm, yes, I guess that's a valid point. But these particular individuals. Have you ever heard of them?

I'm all in favor of tea, but I'm not sure making it is the most effective 'something to do.'

[voice] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:24:56 UTC

[He tries his hardest not to sigh out of frustration.]

No, it isn't, but it'll calm my nerves so I can think a bit clearer.

[voice] azarathmetrion March 1 2011, 18:35:02 UTC

True. It was just the way you phrased it, that's all.

What were you thinking of doing, then?

[voice] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:41:20 UTC

That's the hardest part. What can I do? I would go out and try to find these people, but it seems my partner in crime would rather spend time chasing other pursuits.

[He's very, very cross with Sherlock.]

Even the police can't miss them. There's worse going on.

[encrypted, voice] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:26:46 UTC

People in the threat of dying isn't one of these "worse" things? I read some of the back issues of the newspapers I found around the apartment complex. There's death in this whole place.

What the hell is wrong here?

[encrypted, voice] caveatwalls March 1 2011, 19:47:52 UTC

I think the threat for them is rather low, considering the outrage from whoever's close to them on the Network. All I've been hearing about, it's distracting. [Calling this heartless would be very ironic.]

Someone else is stealing people's hearts, in a metaphorical sense. It's much less obvious and probably just as heinous, if you think about it.

As for the rampant death, people come back half the time, if they're Newcomers like us.

[encrypted, voice] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 20:14:09 UTC

St--Stealing hearts?

Ugh! Why am I even here? This place not only looks like a hell hole at night, it's a hell hole during the day!

... [He calms down, sighing.]

But I guess I could be strapped to a live bomb. [Anything but that.]

Look around the Port, Doctor. Lots of things will hit 'too close to home' for many people. The hospitals here are fairly advanced. Most of them kept power all through the blackout. They should be able to get past some cult madness.

[that isn't to say this whole broadcast wasn't maddening... but still]

[text] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:27:58 UTC

I don't want to take this cult too seriously, but I can't gamble like that with people's lives.

[text] namiwasheretoo March 1 2011, 18:30:26 UTC

You don't think the hospitals will be able to handle it? This city has enough crazies in this city. I would hope they had procedures for something like this.

[text] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:43:16 UTC

I've learned that hospitals secure themselves during the Darkness, but what about a cyber attack? I'm no expert on the matter, I only blogged back home, but there isn't just one way into a hospital or any building for that matter.

......Hello Dr. Watson. This is Charles Xavier, we spoke briefly when you arrived.

[[ He folds his hands on the table he's sitting at in the kitchen of Jubilee's house, where he's staying. His expression is a firm and rigid, military-esque and not at all the kindly professor his home world knew. ]

Care to join me and another for tea? [ There's some things he'd like to discuss with you that have little to do with employment opportunities. ]

[video] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 18:50:08 UTC

[He's a bit surprised to see Dr.? Mr.? Well, whatever. Mr. Xavier, then, on his screen. His expression wasn't what matched with their previous conversation, but of course that had been through text and tones always got misinterpreted there. When he was invited to tea, he smiles. Of course he thought it might have been for employment opportunities.]

Sure thing. Where will I be meeting you?

Re: [video] goodshepherd_x March 1 2011, 18:55:39 UTC

[ Still looking serious but loosening his face at the prospect of tea and intelligent company, and DOING SOMETHING, anything, to move forward that didn't involve sitting around and watching the wretched news, he even manages a tight smile. ]

Doctor Xavier. [ He makes no attempt to explain where the answer to the unspoken question comes from. ]

You'll be meeting myself and the other Doctor Xavier [ He makes no attempt to preface or explain this either, because he is tired, and mostly, because it secretly amuses him ] at Kahve [located here]. How does lunch, noon sound?

Re: [video] cardiganmd March 1 2011, 19:02:09 UTC

[Oh thank God that mystery was solved, but he was a little put off that he seemed to know the internal struggle John had been having. He shakes it off with a simple furrow of his brow before returning his attention to the conversation at hand. His eyes widen slightly when Dr. Xavier then mentions another Dr. Xavier. Sherlock had mentioned people coming from different points in time and had asked specifically what was the last thing he had remembered. Well, it couldn't have been terrible, right?]

That sounds good.
