We here at the Corners are new to Fenspace, but we're not ignorant -- we'd been watching the feeds from Above for more than two years before we launched, just trying to suss out the culture we were going to inject ourselves into. So we're not standing around blinking stupidly as war breaks out around us. Some of us are ex-military, and at least one of us has held the kind of clearance that gets you into those rooms at Certain Government Agencies*. (No, I'm not telling you which of us. But you can safely rule out my five-year-old daughter.) We can read the lines and between them, and filter out the noise.
So understand when I say that we knew what we were getting into when we lifted the Corners. It wasn't what we intended when we started the project, but it's what we realized we would be doing when we got to the end.
So, as this morning's duly elected representative of the Grover's Corners, speaking the majority will of the folks that live here, I am formally announcing that we are offering the use of our cubic as a full-out base for Operation Great Justice. (This isn't just altruism, mind you -- we have no real defenses. We're sitting ducks if the Black Hats want us for a base. And they'd have to be crazy not to. I'd rather not be a catgirl, thank you, no matter how good certain elements around here think I'd look.)
If you folks at OGJ Command would like to discuss this offer, we're available 24 hours a day. I'll try to make sure Luna isn't the one answering the phone.
