Even for Benjamin Factor, arranging this charity event had been something of a challenge. Just as he held great influence in Gateway City, Thunder Corp's influence in Locke was great as well. But with time and money, all things were indeed possible in this case, and the Memorial Dance Hall was playing host to the night's events. It was a glamorous affair: politicians, captains of business, dignitaries, and celebrities had been invited. For whatever controversy that existed, the world legitimately wanted to heal the wounds left by the invasion, and that meant there were a lot of people who wanted to use events like this to either advance that cause, or to make themselves look good.

But they weren't the only sorts of individuals who had recieved an invitation.

Benjamin Factor had also made it so the Numbered would be invited to his little party. Arrivals through the teleporter would be greeted by drivers at the community center, and the same courtesy was extended to anyone who might live in Locke. The only stipulation? Was that anyone who came make an effort to make themselves presentable. If that was a problem, or anyone arrived without knowing, they had clothes on hand for people to change into.

Indeed, it seemed that the Numbered would be well provided for tonight. That being said, their presence would get people to talk, given the presence of news crews making live coverage. Nevertheless... "getting people to talk" seemed to be exactly what Benjamin Factor wanted to happen.

Somewhere, at any place in the world really, a bizarre event is happening. Par for the course really, but as characters make their way around today they might come across one or more strange little creatures. The tiny things are essentially a sort of lock with tiny hands and feet connected to their body by lengths of chain. And probably dismiss them as curiosities since they seem rather harmless on their own.

But however dangerous they may or may not be is irrelevant. All that matters to them is their mission. Their mission to hunt down strong and hopeful dreams and lock them away forever.....

[Molly is sitting in her room. She knows her aunt is asleep right now in her room, so now is a good enough time for it. She's also factoring in the advice Lily and Winter gave her: Don't reveal too much about yourself. The Network was apparently dangerous right now, so she had to feel this out yet.

Still... she knew she had to take this first step. Taking a deep breath, she flipped open her phone, and keyed in the numbers...]


Ah...! Hello, everyone! My name is Molly! [following Lily's advice, she forgoes her full name.] I guess you could say I'm a new face! I've been wondering about how to introduce myself, so... here I am!

I-I want to get to know other Numbered, and... maybe get some idea of what everything's like and what I have to expect! I know being a Numbered is really tough, but... I've seen and heard about all the amazing things you've done! I think you're all amazing!

[Saretha sits, calmly, observing the camera as she has many times before.]

Network. It's been awhile.

[Saretha may have never lost her Numbers, but she's not exactly been talkative on the Network of the last many months. She's kept up with Raye and certain others, but... most of her attention has been on business matters. On reconstruction and charity and public talks. Even if you haven't met her before, at this point in time, you have likely seen Saretha Kaiser at some point.

She's made damned sure of it.]


I will cut straight to the point - last week, a select amount of Numbered were contacted by an individual claiming to be from Thunder Corporation.

[No, she. Really didn't tell anyone she was doing this, besides alluding to her intention there to Lazarus.]

This person, a scientist evidently, does not appear to be Numbered. In fact, the claim in the private message is that he had created a means of contacting the Network one-way.

Much like they were able to harness the energies of the earth for Project Jump, he further claimed that they are developing a means of tracking us. Anywhere. He indicated that he used this same method to find people to leak information to, and that Thunder Corporation's means of tracking us was about to "run out", but I don't know how reliable that is.

[She leans into the camera.] I am aware some of you have been contacted by them in the last week, as well. It is a strange coincidence, is it not? If you are new or naive enough to not know better, did you question how it was they found you?

Thunder Corporation has always been our enemy. They plagued Locke City. They helped unearth the snake that nearly destroyed that city, setting off a chain of events wherein we nearly helped seal our own fates by killing the Guardian Animals that litter this planet. They allied themselves and ushered in the off worlders who nearly slaughtered us all. The Vermini, and their larger iterations, were known to migrate around their hidden activity...

For us, as Numbered, they have never done anything but seek to undermine us, work against us. They cannot kill us in the streets, but they can do the next best thing. Their wealth, their influence, their alliances, those are what keeps them afloat.

The scientist in this message continued to warn us, saying that they are responsible for what has occurred lately - the green slime, the dinosaurs, something in New Zealand... that slime evidently is the snakes, somehow - before he was promptly taken. Seemingly murdered.

Before then, he said something else was coming. That they have... "broken" something.

Now... it is quite possible this is all a ruse. Something, combined with the approaches, to try and set us against one another. The timing is damning, but it could also all be true. To be honest, I cannot say which is which - only that I have little doubt they are up to something which cannot possibly end well for us.

We cannot attack them outright. That will only hurt us more. We must investigate, look into just what they are doing. That way we can reveal the truth, and perhaps drag them into the daylight.

As a private Network message, of course... I have no means of actually showing it to you. But there are those who can corroborate my words, should they wish to speak out, should my own words not be enough.

[She leans back, tilting her head up.]

Tread carefully. We are stepping back into very dangerous territory, all of us.
