so i've got a question for those of you who are from a different world than this one. which is everyone who uses this network, from what I've been told, so I guess that's superfluous.

long story short: we lose our powers here. everyone knows that. we lose anything obviously inhuman here. everyone knows that, too.

has that involved losing limbs for anyone else? how do you deal with that? i feel like i need some kind of amputee support group, only since i'm not actually missing any expected human body parts i suspect they'd kick me out.

definitely a questionable expression of luck for those who end up a rocket.

it sounds like newbie rockets are sol, though, since they won't have a tough team and they might not have any friends to back them up, either. wonder if some kinda network could be set up for helping them be extracted from the organization.

Well. There is a group out there that tries to fight against Team Rocket. Word on the street's that they're pretty sympathetic toward the people who get thrown in against their will.

But I think a more organized network would do wonders. It'd just have to be pretty lowkey, I figure.

a couple people have mentioned them to me, but no details. what kind of group are we talking about here? how do you get in contact with them? do they take donations? it sounds like they do good work, so i wouldn't mind showing my support.

Donations aren't a bad idea, actually. A lot of the work's been volunteer-based.

Anyway, if you want more info, I'm your guy. Just wanted to keep a low profile- last time I ran my mouth about the group, some folks weren't too happy about it.

[feathersfly]

you're the guy in charge? is there any way i can confirm that?

[Hawks has been looking for the person in charge of anti-Rocket operations, but now that he's supposedly found him, paranoia is kicking in. He can't risk outing himself as a Rocket - much less a disloyal one - unless he knows damn well it's not going to come back to bite him. Having worked as a double agent himself, he can't help but think how convenient it would be to find straying Rockets than for a Rocket member to infiltrate the ranks of an anti-Rocket group...or even to simply claim they're part of one. And any lapsed Rocket who might express the desire to leave, or collaborate against Team Rocket...well, then a loyal Rocket who gained access to such information as that could run right back to the admins with it.

He's probably giving Team Rocket more credit than they're due, but a spy can't afford to take risks.]

[islandshore]

Yep. Name's Riku. I've been in charge since Lightning left... a long time ago now. Don't know how many years it's been.

If you want proof... I do have a secure line that's been active since I took charge.
