It's been a long day, so I'll keep this brief. Dust is clearing on the ground, and this is what we know:

1. 2 of the 3 large drones dispatched for the Sterilisation event has been shot down, along with numerous patrol drones. Instead of the total eradication of Xitang, it's only been partially leveled. This is a win.

2. There were no fatalities, although we had 90 injured. I want to commend our ground teams (Ground Forces, Espionage, volunteers) for your efficiency. The Veiled are being taken to and integrated into surrounding Pres Cities courtesy of Recruitment agents stationed in the area.

3. We have commandeered an additional freight plane which will be vital in future relocation efforts.

We still do not know what triggered this, but I want to stress how big of a win this is. We prevented a devastating loss. We've been a nuisance to the Architects, but this changes things.

Take this win. Celebrate it. And then get ready to double down. We're showing them we're a major player, and I can't imagine them taking this lying down.

LEADERSHIP.

Kudos on the rapid coordination. Expect blowback.

[...] Aldana, Payne. Present your case. I need you to get everyone on board before we go to the rest of the resistance with this.

Adrián believes that he will be able to make considerable improvements to the neuroclast in terms of potential mass casualties, but to accomplish this he'll need to run experiments on live test subjects. I've suggested calling for volunteers. I'll let him explain the potential risks to participants.

Good job team ❤️

A lot of people I was helping evacuate seemed unveiled though? Like, actually showed some panic and fear despite trying to hide it. And some of them seemed to be in and out of it. Wild eyes one moment, placid the next

what the FUCK are we fucking celebrat

pleasure to work with you ma’am.

[loculus]

[...] What area were you in?

[dislinked]

[...] You're certain? We have no reports of any population of unVeiled in Xitang.

[arasch]

I can confirm at least one.

Zone 1 or Zone 2? We can intercept the integration efforts.

Death. Chronic pain. Potential paralyzation. Nothing large.

TARYN.
Are you fucking Verin?

[arasch]

1. They were trying to loot a store for supplies.

Taryn/Adrian

[stayonscript]

Is that the only method you know for persuasion?

[dislinked]

Got it.

ARA.
You good?

Taryn/Adrian

[adrii]

I'm a veritable negotiator and I got nowhere with her.

And if you are, I'll stop trying to get her in bed.

[reidings]

Good job down there Delilah. And good eye for picking up on that, I didn’t see anything where I was but I might’ve been too far away.

Biro

[arasch]

Yeah. I was basically a lollipop lady without the lollipop.

[demarcus]

Cool, great.

[delilahs]

Hi, wait, are you the guy I ran into?

Taryn/Adrian

[stayonscript]

Maybe she likes me more than you because I don't have untoward intentions towards her.

[demarcus]

Depends, are you the cute blonde with nice hair?

Taryn/Adrian

[adrii]

Please. I have more class than that. I'm subtle.

Biro

We'll get you a vest next time.

Biro

[arasch]

I could probably pull off high vis.

Taryn/Adrian

[stayonscript]

I think I caught her in a good mood. But she hasn't approved the request yet, and I doubt "a light case of death" is going to persuade anyone else. Not that you should be sugar-coating it. I just wouldn't get my hopes up yet if I were you.

Biro

Love the confidence, kid, but that's hubris.

Convincing the rest of them is an easier order than convincing Verin.
