I hear you like birds

[mdwlrk]

"Like" is a bit of an understatement.

[He sends her a picture of his living room, which is like what a cat person's house looks like when it's been taken over with cats ... only with birds. Branches stretch from the walls. There are countless birds all over the place. One is even a blur at the time of the photo.]

[realists]

[ oh... oh jimmy

moderation, my dude ]

Do you have a favorite?

[mdwlrk]

[No.]

Type of bird or bird that's here? My favorite type of bird was the meadowlark, though that feels a touch on the nose these days.

As for who's here? Well! I rather like Betty. She likes to nest in my hair when I'm watching a program.

[realists]

Mine was the kestrel and now that's a whole thing as well

Which one is Betty?

[mdwlrk]

[Imagine that as a Cooltalk link.]

I am sorry about the bird theme in the Aerie. I hadn't expected it to be absorbed so heavily, but my influence appears to be seen there, isn't it? Unless you all are very obsessed with birds. I imagine some of the names here and there haven't helped.

[realists]

[ hmmm jyn would die for betty ]

Did you make the Aerie? If you didn't I don't think the bird influence was entirely your fault.

The name I used when I was 16 was Kestrel.

[mdwlrk]

No, no, no. If I had control over that kind of power, I would be able to keep you from coming in still.

[Among other things. Like seeing his person again.]

So. You like tiny but fierce birds. I see. That tells me a lot about you!

[realists]

Like what?

[mdwlrk]

I saw your video for the colonies.

[realists]

[ this is like when han told her that her speech before the high council spread across the galaxy. that was the point but it doesn't make her stomach less unhappy. ]

Yeah?

I meant what I said, they shouldn't have to live at the whim of the corporations

[mdwlrk]

I didn't think you didn't mean it. It's just something I could never do myself.

[No, he'll just kill gods and blow holes in the universe.]

[realists]

Speaking of

Any way we can avoid the compulsion drug next time?

[mdwlrk]

Do you really think that's a good idea? A lot of you can be rather violent.

[realists]

I think it is a risk I'm personally willing to take for less indignity in coming here and I think you may not understand how helpless and defensive the compulsion drug makes people. We're already on edge and to feel like we can't trust ourselves on top of that only makes it worse.

[mdwlrk]

And what happens when people are hurt? When you're taken because someone refuses to be directed inside?

[realists]

[ I DON'T KNOW, JIMJAMS. ]

Maybe we need to readjust the arrival process entirely then. Wake them up more slowly, give them the primer at the lab and then move then, involve us from the start.

Have you felt the drugs, personally?

[mdwlrk]

I'm not involving my employees in that. And your team isn't invited in, either. Sorry, but that's too much of a risk, especially with Johann around.

[He's too skittish. He can be convinced, but ... well.]

As it is, a scientist rarely does experiments on themselves without cause. So, no. I haven't. But they do work. I can imagine how terrible that is, having been under a similar effect myself.

But there are other risks. Problems. Dangers. And if my team is injured before they get to you, do you think the process will continue so smoothly?

[realists]

[ jyn thinks he lost a whole ass group of people so he doesn't get to say any of this goes smoothly but she refuses to let her temper get the best of her right now ]

Alright we aren't invited to your secret lab. Can I ask that you stop dropping new arrivals at public places in crowds of natives? We already don't belong here but dropping them off at a crowded music festival or a public memorial is added danger of making it abundantly clear from the start.

[mdwlrk]

I haven't done that in months. I'll take this as a request to keep not doing it, then.

[realists]

Cool, thanks

[mdwlrk]

Aside from that, it's not that I'm unwilling to change things, you know. A number of people had problems with things that were insignificant. Like the hair. Do you know how unsanitary it would be to keep it? And the drugs could prove dangerous. I could manage how much is in them when they show up, or even adjust the dosage so it wears off quickly. But it would all be experimental.

But starting in the lab is likely a no go. How many of you would decline the use of the neural implant without seeing why it's necessary? And then I'd have to work with that ... AI ... Cassius was it? To get you all set up. Which would be tricky for the people who do the surgeries. They're very phobic to them.

[realists]

Not a fan of Cassius?

[mdwlrk]

We're cordial.

I meant my Meadowlark team. How many secrets is too many?

[realists]

Depends on the secret.

I know AI are a tricky subject, I'd prefer he'd be safe than force your team to work with him and bring back more anti-AI sentiment.

Lowering the dosage could work, we've got a decent set up going. If it doesn't we can try something else.
