I fired Akechi instead

A plan has come up that needs a number of distractions and I would prefer to use our own people than rely on Morningstar.

[wittingly]

oh good yeah screw akechi
I assume
I don't know anybody

what kind of distractions are we talking
I do karaoke, I have a mean Pat Benatar

[realists]

[ the funny part is that akechi is in on this plan. ]

I don't know who that is.

I was thinking more along the lines of bombs.

[wittingly]

arguably my karaoke bombs too but I'm guessing you mean literal bombs

I can make them. I can deploy them.

I need to know why where when how and who they're intended for

[wittingly]

ian.fowler has uploaded an attachment, would you like to open?

[realists]

[ jyn hates this planet, but she downloads it to make daisy listen later. ]

Not who, where. No people. Uninhabited buildings, parking lots, the occasional public transport not in service.

We need to liberate something from the UNA, the bombs will get the soldiers out of the base so we can go in.

[wittingly]

[ thank him later when you're playing it and feeling like you've just soulbonded with someone imaginary, or pat benatar. ]

who are you liberating from una & why

[realists]

His name Kurt Fisher and he is living proof that the UNA lies. There was an incident between Kurt Fisher and the Displaced a few months ago, in the aftermath, the UNA blamed his death on Morningstar.

He's not dead.

anti morningstar propaganda
so you're outing them for misinformation
this is very 1984 but with actual hope

I take it this is an "if you get arrested you're on your own" situation?

[realists]

Rebellions are built on hope.

It's unlikely you'll be caught. You'll be gone before the bombs go off and Cassian and I know people in the underground that will get you out of there. Cassius and El will do their best to scrub any footage of us.

[wittingly]

I was mostly asking because I know how to make a remote detonator

if you need any help

either way, if you give me your word we're doing structural only, no bystanders, no murder, I'm in

[realists]

[ oh he is definitely joining their gang. ]

No murder.

Remote detonators are perfect. Between the three of us we'll have enough to go around.

[wittingly]

whenever you need me, take me to where you set up shop
give me access to supplies
I'll work with whatever you guys already have going

[realists]

Now I need more distractions. So far it's just you and Annabeth.

[wittingly]

as in we're the only ones planting them and/or potentially setting them off right now?

[realists]

As of right now

[wittingly]

in that case have you considered timers set to detonate simultaneously across all your target locations at once

[realists]

I have. We've also considered a series of inoperable bombs that Morningstar could "disable".

I'd still prefer more people to set them. Working on it.

[wittingly]

alright, nice
good tactic
I'm not saying you should deliberately injure anyone when I suggest this, so please keep in mind I'm recommending a more creative implementation or an idea for future reputation building:

it might be good press to see them triaging people, too. caring for the wounded. We had something called FEMA back home - Federal Emergency Management Agency, people would come in and set up temp shelters with food, water, blankets, aids, anything like that - with the FEMA logo so there's no mistaking the source

if you already do this and I'm mansplaining after having been here a couple of weeks, please say 'eat a dick Ian'

I have this tendency to get over invested in things
It's a work in progress

[realists]

We had thought of that.

The problem with Morningstar doing that is that Morningstar is illegal. The FEMA equivalent here would be PRESERVE, they do much the same thing. Morningstar is more behind the scenes and Morningstar in New Beijing is already spread so thin.

I'll give them your idea. It's up to them after all they might be bold enough to take advantage of their current support.

[wittingly]

shit
yeah that does make branding a little harder doesn't it

alright, I'm gonna stop making brilliant suggestions until I actually learn what the fuck is going on to some degree

you know how to grab me when you need me

[realists]

It was a good suggestion.

[wittingly]

thanks
you can pay for my bomb services in more commentary like that
I stopped getting year end summary reviews when my work got demolished by fucking aliens so I'm overdue for positive feedback

[realists]

Aliens?

But you're from Earth.

[ WHAT. ]

[wittingly]

yeah, Bad Unlucky Unfortunate Earth
the earth that got fucked
the earth that probably won't be the earth about a decade after when I was before I turned up here
