Some time after the message gets posted to Ginger, it is edited. Grace is paranoid. Probably for good reason.
It's not always that someone so dedicated to information freedom comes by to play censor. There's always a risk with freedom of information. This time, innocent people are going to die if certain information gets out.
So now, the post reads like this:
[Grace here. Edited this to protect the innocent. You know I wouldn't do it without reason.]
Elijah here-
So, here goes my first attempt at using this to do more than respond so bear with me:
How many of you have met [redacted]? [redacted] Anyway, if you haven't met her, here is the situation about [redacted]:
- [redacted] Khaled Abandonato (sp?), was some kind of special. I don't know his tradition or anything, or if he had one, but this is a guy who was hardcore enough that she has vague recollection of him Doing Something and he may or may not have rewritten time. He apparently ran into the sour side of the Technocracy (from what I've gathered, every side of them is the sour side, anyway) and a couple months after [redacted] had a run in with them and they carted him off and away.
That's the general situation.
Here's why I think it's important we do something about it:
1: [redacted] -- [Seriously, Elijah? Seriously? That is some honest-to-god private personal information. Do you think with a hole in your head?]
2: death/torture/maiming/human experimentation are only the tip of the iceberg: this is a dude who can, and has, rewritten the timeline. With enough time, what could they do with someone like that? Would this potentially bite everyone in the ass later? Probably. I don't just mean us as in Denver, I mean the magical community as a whole. If this guy was a mover/shaker/whateverer then a lot of people could seriously be in some real and genuine danger.
3: People don't rewrite time for no reason: whatever he did it for, to avoid, as probably pretty damned bad, and it seems like it would be a total waste to let someone who took that big of a risk have those sorts of horrible things happen to him (at best).
So, what are we doing?
If we can find out who his friends were and who his allies were, then we stand a better chance at rescue. The longer we wait, the potentially worse this situation could get, but I recognize that we are not currently equipped to deal with a problem of this magnitude.
