[Locked to crew on Galilee]

[goddamnwingman]

This is Nightwing. If you are with a government agent, please do not bring this message up. Communications should be working on planet, at least with our omnicomms. Ability to contact off planet is still blocked, but this is at least something.

Reports are saying that two people were killed in the attack on the hotel last night, which I assume means the rest of the crew is safe. I've seen Fate, Jr., Kang, Kon, Howard, Zouichi, Lash, Lord Zetta, the Doctor, Dr. Henderson, Rory Williams, Ruffnut and Sakura. Edited to add: And Signum. (Sorry again.) We're all safe and in good health. If there is anybody else unaccounted for in our groups, please let me know immediately.

We were teleported away from the hotel before the missiles hit. We've been guests of the CLF since then.

They claim that the bombings that involve civilian casualties have been orchestrated by the Council as a way to keep the people afraid of change and believing that the clones are too stupid and violent to be given a chance. We have had a chance to speak with their government contact, who has backed this up. In fact, it turns out that the Council themselves are clones, having been in power for the past five thousand years, using the cloning technology to make themselves new bodies and transfer memories and personality into them.

The CLF have offered to assist us in gaining the technology that we're looking for in exchange for a limited amount of assistance. It's an offer I'm seriously considering as I had my doubts about what we could get from the Council to begin with. It also doesn't involve killing anybody, so that already makes me happier.

If everybody could sound off and let me know that you're okay. Please.

((OOC note: This post can only be seen by crew members who are on Galilee. It is open to ALL crew members on Galilee, including those who were not teleported by the CLF. It will not reach Stacy because the off-planet communications are still down.))

I'm not naive, we're still getting what we want. But more of us are less set on just not caring who we use just because they happen to not be on the same ship as we are.

They're certainly not allies, nor should we be placing our trust in them.

Once we leave this planet, we'll never see them again. We should be exploiting them to the best of our ability.

And once we leave Stacy, we'll never see each other again. I guess we should all be doing the same to the rest of the crew, huh?

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

You fail to grasp the nature of long-term planning.

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

Or your belief that anyone around you can be exploited is so transparent that we can see how that attitude can be turned against us right on the other side. Either you think we're more important than them, which is wrong, or you're willing to exploit anyone.

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

Why would it be wrong to think that you're more important than them? You are.

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

You don't strike me as the comradely type.

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

And? I consider you allies. That doesn't mean we need to be friends.

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. Whose to say these people won't end up on Stacy with us one day? Are we really all that self absorbed that we just don't care about anybody but ourselves?!

[futureisclear.livejournal.com]

Optimally, yes. Our own survival and well-being trumps that of anyone else.
