Notes: Posted to the Fantastic Sucks sub-board following the attack on Alliance HQ and Fantastic's announcement.

You may have seen Fantastic's announcement regarding the individual known as "The Fixer." I now believe it necessary to share some clarifications.

Parts of his statement are true. The Fixer has employed brainwashing which leaves his victims with gaps in their memories. They experience missing time during which they cannot account for their actions or location, and may have unexplained injuries.

Based on my experiences, the mental programming was put in place in October, but not activated until late April. I believe he may have taken advantage of the similar symptoms of the parasitic infections to disguise the effects. While he has been active in Central City and Sunset Falls, he appears to have been operating out of Excelsior.

Other affected individuals may be able to provide more information. Personally-identifying information is best shared in person.

It is possible to remove the Fixer's brainwashing. However, I don't believe my method would work for others.

Fantastic's claims that he is either investigating or seeking to apprehend the Fixer are... suspect. The Fixer is not working alone. He employed others in his initial assault, and he has something capable of temporarily nullifying powers, which seems rather significant for a lone individual with "no known powers."

Naturally I have no interest in bringing anything to the Alliance leadership.

[Kon thinks about it, about the logistics of meeting up without just broadcasting where they are. (And also in a way where he can scope out this person's identity first to make sure they're a normal Starfallen.) And about how well he thinks he could actually train someone else.]

[He's no telepath or mystic or mentalist.]

[But some of it was very much meditative. Some of it was little mind tricks. Practice at conceptualizing his own thoughts. Practice envisioning a physical mindscape and going into enough of a trance state to make a difference in his head by manipulating it.]

I don't know much good they'll do because I was able to actually practice them against people with mental powers or magic. They were able to push so I could practice pushing them back out.

I'm also no teacher.

But it might still be better than nothing. I don't have any mind powers so anyone can do what I learned. I just can't 100% promise it'll make a difference because you won't be able to get the kind of hands on practice I did.


[But he wants to at least try to help.]

When do you want to meet up? I have a way you can signal me down without us sharing a location digitally, so Fixer and Fantastic don't crash the party, but I'm only going to give you it when you're ready to meet. So no one else does it first to fake me out and lure me into a trap.
