[Check-In] Your Enthusiasm is Appreciated

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

Is anyone likely to recognize you?

[Is she thinking about Newport and all the trouble that came of some of their number being recognized?

Almost certainly.]

Anybody who knew my overlay from back then would be like a hundred years old now. Or dead.

Also, he had hair most of his life, looks like, and brown eyes instead of my shiny ones. So it's possible, maybe, but not really likely.

Nothing that can't be played of as an uncanny resemblance, then. Or a distant relation.

Maybe if we find Dara she might get a little weirded out, but I'm not too worried about it otherwise.

Where you at, sister?
brokers: (Hmm)

[personal profile] brokers 2019-09-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Are you planning to go looking?

I'm on Earth, and considering just how badly I wish to attempt to fit in.

Me, too. Maybe you can come help me keep Tara occupied while I do some research.

[Or maybe he just wants to keep his eyes on you if he can, Liara. That might be part of it.]

Cuz yeah. I'm not sure if I'll actually look anywhere, it depends on what I find from lookin' electronically like this. Claudia and Minako are looking into it, too.

I have no idea how to entertain small children, but I may be able to help with your research. I do know a little about finding people - and about disappearing.

I didn't either until I had one. Just stick something in her mouth or give her something to flail around with, and she's usually happy.

I know how to disappear, but only to deserted planets not usually considered habitable, or to prison. Doubt Dara went that way.

[There's a pause.]

Well. Prison's probably an option, actually.

If she found out the wrong information, or annoyed the wrong person, it would be very possible.

If she's been imprisoned, there will be a trail. Not necessarily an easy one to find, but a trail nonetheless.

From what I've found so far, she quit the big project she was workin' on, and that's when she disappeared.

Kinda makes me wonder if she got so pissed about whatever it was that made her quit, that she went underground to try and stop it. Or, yeah, prison.

There is another possibility. Large corporations can be more ruthless than criminal syndicates when it comes to keeping their secrets.
itsananimalthing: (thinking)

[personal profile] itsananimalthing 2019-09-26 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. It's possible she's dead. But you'd think if a body turned up, there'd be some kinda news about it. She was famous.

Which kinda makes me wonder about how little news there is here.

It is...not uncommon, during wartime, for news reporting to be suppressed. If someone did want her to disappear, they may have also wanted to bury the story to minimize the risk of people searching after her.

Shit, Liara, it ain't uncommon in peacetime either, depending on where you're at. I'm digging, and Claudia's got some hacking going on. Hopefully we'll pull something up that we can work with.

Feel like I oughta learn that sometime if I'm gonna go all spy-researcher.
