[ attached to the top of this post is a sketch of hotspur, culled from one of his network posts. the real version is helpfully left in the oxygen gardens, somewhere high.

and visible. ]

Eternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create the heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
For those who soar through outer space.

There aren't many people who would rally around an invisible figure.

[ irene is shaken, shaken more than she'd like to let on, so this feed stays voice. and her tone is steady, but it lacks the challenging lilt, lacks the playfulness. she can't quite manage it today. ]

I did see.

But I know better than to rally behind someone who shows no one his face.

[became]

Good. I'm not the figurehead-- he is.

[ same encryption ] It appears I'm not.

I never said I was the one people should rally behind.

Would it help to have a voice? You already know the face.

[gofortheoptics]

Making a dead man a leader isn't a great idea, really.

[Same encryption] I hope you realize what you're doing, putting yourself in that position.

[You know, on the public network.]

You think it was them?

You've got to know that doing something like this isn't going to end well for you.

Be careful.

Anonymity was never your forte.
I don't understand the sentiment behind it.
Situation like this, death was an inevitability.
It's not as if you two were chums.

[ It's within Sherlock's capacities to hack, but he doesn't need to. ]

[became]

No, but they make amazing catalysts.

[ same encryption ] I do. But I also know that the stakes just got raised to a new high, and you can't get anything out of a tree without shaking a few branches.

I think it's worth asking them. In person, if they don't mind an open forum for once.

Calculated risk.

So sue me, it was a rush job. Not bad for two hours work.
And we weren't.
But from what I could see he was a good man, and even an evil man doesn't deserve that end.
It's calculated, Mr. 'I'll Take That Spot on the List, Please'.
Think of it this way: if death is unavoidable, why not shake a few branches and see what tumbles down before succumbing to the inevitable.

[consulting]

It reeks of the Tranquility's favourite poetry aficionado.
It's archaic. Hotspur's death was useful.
That transmission is a piece of data that could actually be of some value.

Mission accomplished, I'm on the list.

What are you planning to do with a rally?

[became]

'Favourite poetry aficionado'. I like it. I should get some business cards made up.
It was a horror show. An unnecessary one.
And maybe I'll get a few more pieces of my own.

I saw.

I'm not the one to rally around. I don't have delusions of leadership or ambitions, either.

Calculated risk, like I said.

[ hhhhm. nice drawing, anon. not that she knows. or maybe she think she knows, she's just kinda hoping she doesn't. ]

So what, are we all on team smiley now? It's been warning us, right?

[consulting]

It will look nicely between convicted felon and cheese enthusiast.
You have it's attention, if you get anything - do, share with the class.
Gallagher is a new equation entirely.


[ he actually means, share with me but whatever. ]

Alright. [ And that sums up all of Sherlock's shiny feelings about being on that list. ]

Risk for what? A test of the ship's humanity - of it's allegiances?
It's not the first talk of revolution.

same 4eva HE KNOWS WHO THIS IS, CRIME BB omg dude when zo gets up. moz and neal and wichita, y/mfy?

[became]

I wouldn't go that far.

[became]

That's really great cheese, thanks. Now I'm not sharing.
Only the best and brightest thereof, but point well taken.

Big symbols make big targets, but you can't take aim until you're close enough to see the whites of their eyes.

[ or, in non-code talk: i want to shake out whatever did this. SMART PLAN. ]

So we're looking at two threats, then. Smiley, and our so-called leaders. Against us.

And that's working with the assumption that there is an 'us', and that everyone rallies on the same side. Color me cynical but I can't say I'm a fan of the odds for 'us' right now.

[ this is just wichita Not Knowing How to Deal. finding the flaws. being an asshole. detach detach detach. ]

[consulting]

[ sherlock would criticize but he's had worse plans so -, they should just pretty much just never plan anything together. ]

Between "It wasn't our fault" and "Don't believe everything they tell you" -
It's mystery on both ends. Possibly. Lacking significant facts.
Not theorizing yet - facts suit theories and not theories to suit facts.

Shockingly, You can't make yourself a target if you're anonymous.
