[Despite aiming for semi-anonymity, Danny goes with using his voice instead of text. Because if he has to type this and give himself the chance to overthink things, it might never happen.

The mic picks up the light sound of wind, and when he speaks up, Danny's not putting in the effort to change his voice, beyond playing down his slight New York accent and shifting his tone to something softer and more professional. It's a stark difference from his usual laid-back drawl, but the kid's naturally scratchy voice is still easy enough to recognize.]

So...did anyone else who caught Fantastic's speech find that a little worrying?

For anyone who was caught in the Confluence, or just fell from the sky, welcome, or welcome back. Here's what you missed.

[A recording of Fantastic's speech starts playing. Tinny and rough, like it's coming from one speaker picking up another. It sounds awful scripted for a "heart-felt" speech. Not meant to comfort or inspire confidence but to rally soldiers. The kind of speech Danny became familiar with when he was far too young. And when he'd heard it coming from Fantastic, it settled in his stomach like lead.]

You can probably find a better version of that online, but this gives the gist.

Can't say I'm crazy about him talking to us like we're a bunch of soldiers, but then, I'm guessing that speech wasn't actually for us.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I have a bad feeling that if this guy gets to be the Alliance leader, the way he wants everyone to think he already is, things might get worse for us.

[This, he can do. He hadn't done much with planning Interground operations in the past - mostly just covered for their existence, for all the good that hand done them in the end - but he'd still been in on a number of the meetings, and he knows how these things work, at least to a point.]

So we need more intel. He's a public figure - there's got to be more information about him available. There are probably people from this dimension who don't like him either - the question is whether they'd be willing to whatever they have on him public, or at least accessible. If we find something we can use, we can build on it.

[Huvrye is barely familiar with the internet, let alone internet culture. There's probably a Fantastic Fails youtube compilation out there somewhere - he just wouldn't have any idea where to start looking.]

If we can find enough people we trust to help, it'll make intel gathering - and the op - easier to handle.
