It'd be polite of me to introduce myself, since I think only one of you knows me, but I don't really care. All of you are involved with science or technology, so you'll be useful. That's all that matters.

This is about Vulcanus. Is that enough to get your attention? If not, I don't think I need to bother with you after all.

Incidentally, if this isn't addressed to you but you're clever enough with hacking to read it anyway, you'd be useful as well.

[ Archer's in his apartment, finishing up attending to some household tasks. He's just traded in a dusting rag for his communicator. ]

What's the most useless power you've seen the 'Porter bestow on someone?

I've recently learned of a truly pathetic one, so I'm curious.

[ OOC: The filtered content is in reference to this plot. Archer is making good on his plans to start hunting Vulcanus through the power of research. ]

You sound rather cheerful about it.

[ And here's where Archer has to try not to screw his own plan up with cynicism and bitterness before it even gets off the ground. ]

[incywincyhero]

What, about the research, or about working with you? Is that a bad thing?

[swordedpast]

No. I suppose it isn't.

[incywincyhero]

So, are we all tackling our specific fields and reporting back to the group? I'm terrible at PowerPoints, just to warn you.

[swordedpast]

Yeah. Don't worry: I won't make a fuss about presentation.

[incywincyhero]

Well, if it's not contributing to my final grade...

Anyway, I guess there's no reason not to get started right now, since I have access to all the journals I need here. [Sleep, what's that?] I'll keep in touch.
