Updates:

1. Mission Kamchatka has deployed. St James remains on board to coordinate.

2. We have brought aboard four volunteer for the Neuroclast project: two grounded Dislinked agents and two civilians. They are being given partial access to the Mnemosyne: mess hall and public areas only. If you see someone in an area they should not be, please alert your chain of command immediately.

3. Medani and Aldana will deploy to Sighişoara on Sunday and will be there throughout the planned SP. Our goal, as a reminder, is to reVeil as many civilians as possible. Ground forces will deploy two days before in order to begin quiet evacuation of those who cannot be reVeiled.

4. For those who weren't able to be present at the meeting held by McLeod on Monday, the key takeaways are:
• The current flight of planes can be modified. Keane and Hyun have already begun compiling the necessary parts from Jacobs, Koskinen, Maverick, and Wijk. The liklihood of sourcing in time is low, but I will defer to Keane as that is her area of expertise.

• de Vries, McLeod, and Thomas will begin searching the ground for any additional planes. I'll provide them with intel I have accrued on active and inactive bases.

• According to Hwang's calculations, the Architects' envoy should hit Earth airspace in the early morning of March 13th.

5. [...] We will be bringing additional agents aboard in the next week. As with any former undercover agent, their previous mission is classified until we can be sure all loose ends are tied up.

If you have questions, put them here.

ALDANAS.

I am informing you that Agent Alba Gutiérrez Vega has been compromised. I will be deploying an agent to escort her to a stronghold and then she will be brought onboard.

ST JAMES, BONE, SINCLAIR, DAWSON, NOVAK - SEPARATELY.

I am informing you that [Reid, Flores Romero, Lynfield, Aldana Gutiérrez, Aldana] has a family member that is an Undercover agent whose identity has been compromised. The agent will be escorted to a stronghold before coming aboard. I will inform [Reid, Flores Romero, Lynfield, Aldana Gutiérrez, Aldana] upon return, but it might be shock, so I'm asking you to ensure they remain centered.

OOC: Jax gets Jamie's name, Maryle gets Dom's name, Nishad gets Sloane's name, Cal gets Eva's name, and Niko gets Adri's name

LIM, MCLEOD, BATTEAUX, SINCLAIR.

I'll deploying you to retrieve compromised Undercover agents. Lim, you'll be retrieving Agent Lynfield; McLeod, Agent Gutiérrez Vega; Batteaux, Agent Reid; Sinclair, Agent Flores Romero. Details will be provided when you are formally deployed. This is a stealth mission and considered classified. They will all pretend to be under the Veil until you provide their specific code word, which is in the documents you will receive.

That's because you're fancy.

We get all the things I want. Alcohol, cigarettes, books. Not as many books as I'd like, but that's not a surprise.

It’s genetic.

There’s nothing we don’t?

My not fancy is genetic too.

I mean, I miss ice cream sandwiches, but we're not going to be bringing those up.

Yeah?

You would want the impossible.

My parents were often chasing it but never could achieve it.

Of course, I pride myself on being difficult.

Chasing it?

Obnoxious of you.

They were just always trying to get more "fancy" status markers. More money, more status, more things.

~~You just said that~~ I do not claim to be anything else.

That doesn’t seem to be as genetic.

It is what you pride yourself on. […] They probably have them in the unveiled cities.

I'm way too lazy to be like that.

I think it's pretty impressive honestly. And yeah, they do have them sometimes.

You’re also so […] sure of yourself that it’s difficult to imagine you trying to be something you’re not.

You are, yeah. I don’t suppose you have a runner up that’s in the ‘possible’ category.

Yeah, I wasn't made for that life.

Ice cream sandwiches or bust, I'm afraid. Or, like, really fancy tequila I guess.

If you mean for the fancy life, I imagine you’d be perfectly content in one. […] I just meant you seem comfortable in who you are now.

Noted.

I don't know. Maybe. But also it doesn't really matter, because this life is far from fancy.

[...]

I will tell you one true thing in thanks.

It’s […] incredibly unfancy, yes.

Yeah?

I know. You suffer.

Yeah. You can ask me a question and I'll answer it.

All the time. But usually at your hands.

We’ll see if I can manage it, then.

That's what everyone always tells me.

You're resourceful, I think you can.

~~Most of~~ ~~Generally, I d~~ Before they thank you for the pleasure, I imagine.

Fortunately, there are people in supplies that aren’t Séarlait.

Everyone loves for a girl to step on them a bit I guess.

Have you tried talking to her yet?

Depends on the woman, but when they’re beautiful, funny, and smart as hell? I think that kind of mean might be universally appreciated.

I try to talk to her. Not about supplies. […] I don’t want her to think the only reason I’d like things to be okay is because of her position.

That's good. I was asking specifically for your general quality of life, even though the supply help will be nice too. It sucks to have a hard time interacting with someone on the ship.

Yeah, it does. […] I don’t think any of my attempts to talk to her have helped much.

Have you told her you want to clear the air? Have you tried talking about the break up?

Not exactly.

[…]

I mean, that could have been worse.

Mash.
