[hacktivist]

That is correct.

The fact that four of the listed countries match the list that we discovered on board Vulcanus's ship does not seem to me to be a coincidence.

There is only a 5.075% chance of this happening randomly.

[dragony]

That had to have been... five months ago, wasn't it? Because everyone disappeared the day after Valentine's, if I remember right.

[hacktivist]

That is correct. [he sounds impressed. Ghost doesn't expect people to keep track of these things, even if he does.] Clearly Vulcanus' plans are as far-reaching as SHIELD's. Or the KAB. ...Or U.A. Inter Media Group Limited.

[a beat]

You recognize the enormity of this situation. That we are merely steps away from a concentration camp. [hyperbole thy name is Ghost]

[dragony]

[the explicit days and order of events things happened were very, very important at the time.]

I can't say I'm familiar with most of those, but I think I get the idea.

I suppose it's one way for them to act against us, since they know they can't really kill us.

[hacktivist]

I would not assume they cannot kill us.

[dragony]

Well, they can, but they can't guarantee it'll stick. And I'm sure at that stage, they'd rather have us where they can see us than where they can't.

[a long pause, thinking hard on this, then decides to err on the side of security (as always)] Are you planning on personal involvement?

encrypted

[dragony]

I don't usually "plan" on personal involvement. It just tends to happen anyway.

[hacktivist]

I would not necessarily advise against it. [elaborating] I believe this may be the most serious crisis that imPorts as a group have faced so far.

[it'll be surpassed, of course, she thinks, but leaves unsaid.]

Is there anything you'd advise action for, specifically? Knowing me, I mean.
