    I should be good right now, actually. Unless someone decides to jump me with another job to do. EDIT (because I don't want to make another post on the same subject 2 minutes after I post the first one): I'll be skulking around the documents for a while.

    I'm not sure if I should be commending you for some really good writing, or berating you for freaking me the shit out. Apologies for the extended leave people. Usually when I'm away for a period of time, it's only in the mornings. Because of the magic of timezones, that's my "writing time"...

    I think I've worked out what Brigid's "magic power" is. "These are not the SHIV's you are looking for."

    Would you like to go up against an eight-man league? My Pidgeot is good, but even he has his limits. I forgot to mention this yesterday, thank you Pixy. My life is now complete. I might go silent for a few days every so often, but I will always return. No danger of me leaving. ... unless I...

    "Three words - children are cheaper." -Overseer Take that how you will. Yeah, I probably should have anticipated that. That about sums it up, I think.

    I don't like him having that kind of power. Makes me feel a bit like I'm pulling a "solve-all" kind of move. If it were to come out that he were not necessarily completely freelance anymore, it might provide an opportunity for certain individuals to help undermine Victor... not that anyone...

    I am the emissary of the Fortune Cookies. You have lost your way, Pixy. Forgotten your true purpose. A reminder was necessary.

    I take it back. He picked the "Screw this" option. Having read it myself now, I can say that you, sir, should be a lawyer. Expert use of technicalities.

    #Overseer. He picked Control. I shudder to think of what could have happened had he picked Synthesis. Penny will be staying. No reason for her to go. Not even sure if that was an option for a non-soldier, but I'm putting this here regardless. As for the Overseer... well, he could already be...

    There is no such thing as an "original story" as of the first few decades of human civilisation. There are, at a basic guess, around 10 or so distinctly different stories in existence. Hero does this, does some other stuff, hero wins. That sort of thing. A different story might be that the...

    You what. Propaganda. The real question here seems to be boiling down to this: is Alby Foulke Paragon or Renegade?

    This is reminding me quite a lot of what the "main villian" of Mass Effect 3 says at one point: "When fire burns, is it war? Or is it simply doing what it was made to do?"

    Wrong, they're treating them as normal humans. It's just that the way they perceive humans is... I dunno, sub-Ethereal? Maybe?

    Dropped a short one in for ya. Just a bit of Penny's backstory, a pun on her name, and 3 synonyms of "staring" in 2 sentences. Oh, and a "dropping the soap" joke.

    Prison Of all the punishments they had to drum up for her, forced leave was possibly one of the worst. Probably why they picked it. Penny sat in her room, empty save for her and the mask, which stared at her from the end of the bed. That was where she sat, back pressed against the wall at the...
