Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Nice to be missed.
Unfortunately I didn't get sent home. I didn't realize I was gone at all until I was ported back to Florida.

text

[khajidont]

Oh man. That just seems unfair

The same thing happened to Bart. It's like it happens in bulk. Last time it was me and Wally being ported out around the same time

text

[boobwindow]

Bart got ported out, too?
You and Wally been doing okay?

Re: text

[khajidont]

He did but he's back now. So don't worry about that, we've been okay

text

[boobwindow]

Either of you get caught up in that future/past hallucination a bunch of imPorts experienced?

text

[khajidont]

Yeah actually. I got to see the past. You might have seen people talking about the whole protest and brainwashing thing already but if you want a fuller report I can tell you all about it

text

[boobwindow]

Was it actually the past you all saw?
Are you sure it wasn't some kind of illusion?

Re: text

[khajidont]

It could have been. The futures seem to have been. But it's at least partly true. Someone did some research on a little of what we saw. There's not much to find but there's at least a few clues that at least parts of it were true.

Captain Holiday was there. And the peaceful compliance act is something we saw there, and it actually existed.

[boobwindow]

There's no actual documentation? That isn't sketchy at all.

Re: text

[khajidont]

There's some but it's all ripped up. Here let me send you Sabriel's research

[ATTACHED: Documentation.]

I'm still trying to find out where these visions came from and why we got them but it doesn't look like they were all false

text

[boobwindow]

They weren't magical in nature? So something else?

text

[khajidont]

The Scarab didn't sense anything magical about it so... tech? Someone's superpowers?

text

[boobwindow]

Something strong enough for a number of imPorts to have experienced these visions together.
And if some of these claims are real then maybe they wanted us to know?

Re: text

[khajidont]

Could be. Trying to tell us exactly who we might be working for I guess.

But how about the future visions then? Those seemed like they were just trying to scare us

text

[boobwindow]

What was it about the future visions that worried you?

text

[khajidont]

I didn't see anything from the future but I listened in on some of the conversations of people who did

[...without actually commenting, because he's a little creep.]

One vision where America was controlled by imPorts and we could get away with murder if they wanted to. Nobody was allowed to speak out against us.

One where the government decided not to let us run free anymore and where we were all ACTUALLY second class citizens like people keep on panicking about like if we didn't do what the government said then they'd hurt us.

Someone's trying to mess with us but I don't know if they're trying to get us to turn against the government or each other

Or both.

Not a great welcome back huh?

text

[boobwindow]

I don't know what I expected, to be honest.
Sounds like just another day in the life in this world.

text

[khajidont]

Yeah point. The first time I got ported out and back I'd missed some crazy infection so it's always going to be something.

text

[boobwindow]

Neither option for the future sounds good.
The question is how do we stop it?

text

[khajidont]

I'm not sure if that really is the question. They showed us two ways it could go REALLY wrong but they didn't show us the other five hundred ways it could go a little better or a little worse.

[Sorry, Peej. Recent events have him wrinkling his nose at anything resembling destiny.]

I think it would take something big for it to go either way. We could probably use a little positive PR these days though

Anything else happen in July?

Another information leak spreading a bunch of nasty rumors about imPorts at the last swearing in.

It was over at the Jefferson hotel and they were giving a press conference about how they were worried about Russia and they wanted everyone to be alert. Lots of propaganda everywhere that kind of thing

Protester crashed the speech and they broke his arms

text

[boobwindow]

Again? These information leaks don't do a whole lot of damage as far as I know, but people sure are persistent.

Re: text

[khajidont]

It hurts the people who are mentioned. Maybe not in the long run but people have lost their jobs and it's not easy having all this stuff spread around about you.

But you're right I don't think it does the kind of lasting damage that whoever spilled it wants it to do. Not now anyway. Things are getting kinda rough in MF for imports right now

[boobwindow]

Yeah, I've had some things in the paper spread about me before. Not that it wasn't exactly false but I get it.
So information leak, followed by visions of the past and potential futures? I don't get it, but I don't like it.
Makes me think it's building to something.
