This message. I'm guessing either I'm in the future (which makes some sense, there's no way everything I've done is just as long as your fight) or you've been too busy to check

I did see the post in question, but my character hasn't been informed yet. That's why they seem surprised at the comments that his shapeshifting is detected. I can only assume it's in V's future.

Oh, I need to synchronize that, don't I... He's going to get it shortly after he finishes this fight scene.

So I guess I would have heard a response sometime in the past?

Well I have to say that one or two missed weekdays isn't that bad at all.

No, I made an extra effort to keep posting.

Looks like Halcyone has had a very long day! I think V is a day ahead of you and doesn't have the message yet, so you may be waiting a bit for a response. It's unfortunate as V is getting into a lot of trouble for resources we no longer need.

I went through this with Peter in lost in dreams for a while... I just manage to consistently make the worst choices for a stretch. I don't think V has accomplished a single productive thing that turned out to be worth doing.

Eh, V has gotten a lot done. If all you'd encountered was the holo-copy of the emperor, you'd be a lot more suspicious. (I hope you'd be a lot more suspicious). V has collaborated everything that was said, and found out a lot about the enemy's capabilities and resources.

We had already known about the hybrid warriors from the research materials. He got bad info on Maximus. Got themselves an identity for a meeting that may or may not have gone anywhere. Got shot. Pulled a job for an identity and travel arrangements we don't need... and got shot again.

I'm not really seeing what Vassarious actually got done that's useful.

Yeah, a slightly nicer Maximus (i.e. someone who didn't sick his guards on V right away), or not knowing anything and I would have been more inclined to close out my investigation of the rebels.

I still feel a bit foolish to forget to ask what Maximus could detect.
