So, I'm going to lay this out for you guys, because I have no idea what to do. Should he stay at the Chantry under its wards for a while? Or would that be totally the wrong thing to do and he should stay the hell away from any sites of interest for a while?
Because Elijah has made a rookie mistake. I did it too once, getting too loose-lipped on the internet, and it's what prompted Gadfly and I to make Ginger a thing.
I won't lie, it kind of sounds like there is someone watching Elijah now. Someone who is fed up with the Technocracy, but trying (hah) to instill change from within the system. It could have been so much worse. But there is still a good deal of scariness going on here.
Transcript of the emails follows:
WyteNyte:
That's not a snake you wanna go poking.
Elijah:
How did you find me?
WyteNyte:
You probably don't want to know. Just know that I'm not a friend or an ally. We are exactly opposed in a diametric manner, and yet trust me when I say...Googling Technocratic operatives isn't a wise move. There are ways for them to know.
Elijah:
Is it bad that I kind of do wish I knew? I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Or, at the very least, live long enough to consider it.
Was Helen Scott a real person?
WyteNyte:
Yes. I don't believe that she will ever see her son again. And if she does, she will regret every second of it.
You're too trusting. Too optimistic. Issac Scott did not kill his cabalmate. He did kill the rest of his cabal. They were sacrifices. He became Nephandi along with the girl in the apartment. One down.
Elijah:
So there's a chance they legitimately were looking into it. how does one go learning about WTF the technocracy is without ending up... well... fuck if I know, i'm lacking words. i'm trying to understand what is going on and my sources aren't reliable. One of them is, one person does not a comprehensive understanding make.
WyteNyte:
What do you want to know?
Elijah:
How are they organized? I heard that they got hit by the stuff that caused the Avatar Storm as hard as the Traditions did. I heard that they believe in science and stuff.
WTF is a Progenitor? Or Iteration X for that matter?
WyteNyte:
Most of that I'm not going to tell you. What I will tell you about the Technocracy is that they protect mankind from the danger that out-of-control people with far too much power and not enough wisdom to use it present to them. People like Isaac Scott, for example.
The only problem is that some of them take that too far from time to time. The mission is sound, but the methods make them lose their way. "They" won the war. Then "they" failed to realize that there's a difference between winning and becoming that which you're try to stop.
Elijah:
Isn't there a quote about dying hero or living long enough to become the villain somewhere? What about a big organizational overhaul? Surely, someone in there must realize that they've gone astray at some point, right?
WyteNyte:
Funny you should mention that.
Elijah:
Am I about to regret asking that? because I kind of already do.
WyteNyte:
Relax. If you were in danger from me, I never would have made contact with you. I haven't seen anything to suggest you're a threat.
Elijah:
That's fortunate, I pride myself on being generally harmless and not worthy of being scourged from the face of existence.
So, it isn't the mission of the technocratic union to completely obliterate all things that are not exactly fitting into their world view? Because that was really the impression I got. What constitutes as a major threat?
WyteNyte:
When you threaten the Masses, you become a major threat.
I have to go. I have to be careful. We'll talk again soon, I'm sure. Stop Googling Technocrats and hopefully you won't end up disappeared.
Later.
Elijah:
TTYL, peace!
