So, when I have missing crew, that just means... what? Their ratings were terrible so they got dropped? It can't be that easy, or people would sabotage their own ratings to get sent home.

Then we just have to be smarter than they are.

[everydayhero]

psh. you can at least make it sound challenging.

[detectivewonder]

You really don't want my summarized list of complications. I mean, seriously.

[everydayhero]

are you going to send me into the fray unprepared, tim?

Mind control. Implanted nano-explosives. Direct sensory input for long-term gaslighting. Automatic cut-outs on drive, tactical, and life-support systems. Weaponized teleportation. Time manipulation or alternate universe access allowing a cheat button reset.

see, now i know the possible risks.

the many, many possible risks.

[detectivewonder]

And that's using only the technology we know they have.

[everydayhero]

alright so basically if we try this we're pretty much gonna fail no matter what. like there's a 0.000000000000000001% chance we could make it happen.

but we're still gonna try, right?

It's not about who has the most toys. Every fight you'll ever fight works the same way: mind to mind.

[everydayhero]

so what you're saying is i'm set

Text

[detectivewonder]

I'm saying we've got the tools we need. But don't get too cocky.

Text

[everydayhero]

siiiiiigh. alright, i hear you.

Text

[detectivewonder]

We still don't know who's behind this. Step one is getting a feel for how they think.

Text

[everydayhero]

well they brought my brother here on a monday and then made us wait until SUNDAY instead of saturday so that we could see each other. so they're sadistic.

Text

[detectivewonder]

Callous, definitely. But they could also be careless. Whimsical.

And they brought him here in the first place.

Text

[everydayhero]

true. i think they just want whatever's most dramatic for the show.

Text

[detectivewonder]

Yeah. And that's good for us. That's easy to use.

Text

[everydayhero]

yeah. if we're on a stage, might as well act. guess it's just a matter of how to go about doing it to spin things in our favor.

[hiro you also have crippling stage fright, don't forget that]

Text

[detectivewonder]

We'll be working on it.
