25th Scream [filtered//encrypted to the Coalition; see post]

[[Filtered//Encrypted to the ELE Coalition, which now includes Andrew Ryan on the list.
this is some tough upper-level encryption, guys. it will be very hard to get in unless you are a technopath. Technopaths can also hack the list to see the names on it, and the "anonymous" posts.]]

Greetings. I know it has been some time since that first communication and I apologize, but I have been busy of late.

Some announcements:

* I have set up this filter on a proxy server so that any of you can use it; [have some information on how]. You cannot see the names on this list, as some members wish to contribute anonymously; furthermore I have enabled anonymous posting on this entry in case you would all like to communicate. I will know who each of you are, of course.
* Unless someone has a better idea, I have tentatively named this group the Coalition.
* Another point to address are possible overarching goals for our little society. I have a number of ideas, but as always we are a coalition (as the name suggests) and so I would like input.

First.

** Depowering or otherwise dealing with the more meddlesome heroes. Obviously a monumental task but not one outside our abilities. We should focus only on those who are a direct threat to us or our interests.
** Procuring alternate sources of funding that we can all use. I am an accomplished inventor and would be willing to aid in this endeavor for a cut of the profits, but I need something to invent. For once, I am out of ideas.

Suggestions, gentlemen?

One suggestion of mine is that I suggest Archangel is to be left alone.

As well. We need to look more into those Anti-mutant guns.

Would you know how to construct one?

I do have one. I left it with an associate, but it will be easy to retrieve.

Oh, perhaps he could!

Have we established what our interests are, really?

*HACKED! ...For shits and giggles.*

As we're already appearing to have some security problems, I'd prefer to keep any suggestions I might have off the record for the time being. However, I do agree that the self-proclaimed 'heroes' could do with a challenge to their authority.

With regards to your other point, I've already procured a steady source of funding through my own creations so depending on what you wish to invent, I might be able assist.

Also, I believe # 17249984 (http://phobiaasphyxia.livejournal.com/) would be worthy addition to our number. He is a like-minded individual and has experience dealing with heroic individuals from his own world, the Batman among them.

Evil League of Evil is so better than 'Coalition'...

Anyway, can't we just make some sort of giant power-zappy laser ray? And like...shoot it all over the City. That makes sense. We could use mirrors!

Uh...overarching goals...destabalize the status quo and establish anarchy. It'll shock the world. Bam. Dibs on Europe.

And for money...I vote for robbing banks. That's fun.

[identity profile] badhorsefan.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think I can make it. I just need a buttload of supplies and a big enough place to make it. The evil lair is under renovations.

Hey, anarchy's okay. As long as you've got someone to swoop in and take control later, after everyone's ran around like a chicken with their head cut off.

Eh, if this is for ELE funds I'd like someone else with me when I rob a bank.

[identity profile] badhorsefan.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! ...can I use it?

Thanks!

Maybe some other time then. Or, would anybody else like to help?

[identity profile] badhorsefan.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Again, awesome!

[identity profile] pullingyourlegs.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
It helps if you're not in the City area when you do it, you know; states away is the best.

[identity profile] badhorsefan.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
But if I'm states away, how will I get the giant ray gun to the City? Small problem there.

[identity profile] pullingyourlegs.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I meant the bank robbing, actually.

[identity profile] badhorsefan.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Of course.

[identity profile] dogabuse.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
What would you say if I told you we could perhaps manufacture super powers?

[voice]

[identity profile] dogabuse.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'll admit, it's a work in progress-- but not a task I haven't completed on a large scale before. In the past, I have created armies. It's merely a matter of perfecting the procedure with my limited resources here.

However, you'll be happy to know I am not working from scratch. Two of my best specimens, formerly ordinary human beings, are present in the City at this very moment.

To replicate their abilities again has been my on-going project since I arrived.

[identity profile] dogabuse.livejournal.com 2009-05-30 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
One of them is an assistant of mine, yes. The other runs loose. You are welcome to observe the one in my custody, if you like.

A few days from now. He is recovering from an ordeal.

I think that eliminating those best-placed to harm this little association of ours is a fine idea, Starscream. We must develop a list of those most especially troublesome to target, the leaders and strongest among them.

As for funding, I believe one can really never go wrong with weaponry. There's always a demand for objects of violence, and people do the most entertaining things when they gain some new and exciting way to hurt one another! So why not see if we can develop the ability to mass-produce something more potent than ordinary firearms and sell them? Not in the City, where there are hundreds of 'heroes' poised to interfere, but elsewhere in the country- no, around the entire globe! It could serve both as funding and diversion.

[giddy laughter] The Chinese would be an excellent choice! We cannot mass-produce arms without an industrial base to manufacture them, something which the Chinese specialize in. If we can strike a deal with them, all we must do is come up with the ideas und prototypes, and they shall do the rest- and pay marvelously for the privilege, I expect! Mechs, small arms, new forms of armour- I'm certain that no matter what you create, there will be a vast and eager market for it!

Oh, ja, the world was definitely a more exciting place with Ivan looming over it. But the Chinese will do just as nicely! I'm sure there's a consulate in the City we will be able to contact. I expect that they shall be very interested!

Thanks are entirely unnecessary, Starscream. This is the sort of idea which pays for itself!
