Before Gallipoli, it was discussed that we should come up with aliases to call each other, and have backstories to speak of while there was downtime in the war. At the time, we knew the Regency was there, but they wouldn't be so visible. It was enough to not be asked too much by the natives of the time, and allowed us the conditions we needed to blend in as a unit of reinforcements that was beached at the wrong location.

The situation may be different here, but I'd suggest we come up with different aliases from before, considering we'll be facing the Regency out in the open. Using your actual name isn't suggested- it could cause problems and endanger the rest of this cell if you do so. Try to pick something you'll remember easily enough.

Feel free to suggest names and ideas for yourselves, or help others. The BCE has a list of them you can pick from. The sooner we can compile a list, the easier it will make it for all of us to recall while in the middle of the mission.

[Boy, talking like this is a reminder of speaking with soldiers before battles. That was a long time ago, and he's getting back into the hang of it. Also, guess who's bad at suggesting names? THIS GUY. Thankfully, the BCE has a posh name generator that can be found here.]

Now you get to wear a new one.

[ all his prior questions seem to have touched on, which shows in a moment, but: ]

So, you have no other suspicions on how they gained that information on you besides what you've said here. No further theories at all.

[ he's keeping track on the others, but there's no harm in asking for more. paranoia and distrust keeps him in check everywhere else as it already stands. ]

They were able to use our network and disrupt BCEs. Who's to say they haven't infiltrated other systems?

[eyedrop]

if we're aiming for stealth, it's more logical to pick an alias that could at least reasonably be substituted for our actual names.

don't you think

[lonelywar]

[If he's heard about Kebuchet speaking to COST through their BCE network, it was only in passing (and then there's his patchwork understanding of how it works at all).

But yes. That was a very good point.]

It seemed to me that the technologies and powers at their disposal were much stronger than what we have. We manage to just keep ahead of them, but I worry how well we will be able to keep information from them in the future.

[They were running as fast as they could, but sometimes it felt like the trap was set to spring upon them any moment.]

It is very worrying.

[To say the least.]

[mylawn]

No, just talented.

[mylawn]

You'll be suffering with me. That's enough.

[lonelywar]

They did not want information. They had everything I could have possibly told them about myself. I would wager that they had far more than that, even.

I believe they wanted me to doubt. They undermined my perception of COST, attempted to make me doubt what I had been told.
I believe they might think us to be valuable resources to them in the future, and this is why we have been safeguarded up to this point.

[lonelywar]

The Regency has all of history at their fingertips.
As soon as they knew who I was, they found everything they needed to know without the need to ask. From what I was shown, they can go to any point in time and witness for themselves first-hand whatever they need to.
This is how I believe they learned so much. I saw it myself.

[raisedbybirds]

I'm glad to be in such good company.

I hope your new outfit doesn't hide your face.

Justus Deleevard.

[bivariant]

Of course. I went with my initials, to make the transition easier.

KC. Kana Chriferafa.

[faenthras]

With any luck they will run out of steam soon.

[eyedrop]

does it have any particular meaning to you

or is it simply in line with how your people are typically named

[dorzalta]

[ SMIRKIN LIKE A JERK. ]

Do share once you've decided.

[bivariant]

@PANTSONFIRE taught me that "kana", in Japanese, can mean "gold"? It feels as though I'm still wearing my uniform, in a way. Gold, on black. Chriferafa was a soldier in my former battalion. I don't think she'll be upset, if I use her name.

[bivariant]

[ hmm.................. ]

That is what we're being asked for. Plans within plans, hidden within plans, behind false plans, surrounded by lies. It's all very complicated. Do you think you'll be able to keep up with it all?

[eyedrop]

[ how sentimental ... ]

yeah, that's right.

she has no way of knowing, regardless. but most people tend to like a memorial.

[northerndragon]

[... but do they have dragons?]

That isn't just the future. My people have fears, labor, sometimes little chance at learning much of anything other than their trade.

What are they afraid of, where you come from?

[dorzalta]

Which capsule number belongs to you?

[dorzalta]

You likely would shatter all the windows on BASE in the process.

[ And doom them all. ]

[handsomefoil]

I think I just may.
Perhaps not strictly for safety precautions
I've always wanted to go by a different codename.
Hit 2 birds with 1 stone there.

Yes I see you recognized my unsure ellipses
I did forget to introduce myself
Sorry about that

[whitehair]

it's basically the same thing grandpa

[whitehair]

i don't have a home
it was many moons ago since i had some place I can truly call my own

[garbagepilot]

Of all the people on the fish to piss off

you pick the one with with the giant spider and the dragons.
