We have had a lot of new additions to the Undernet recently, and I want to welcome everyone. In spite of the circumstances that brought us to this point, we're glad to have you joining us in our effort to gain some distance and privacy from IVI and their policies. There has been a lot of new information thrown at us all. If anyone has questions or is unclear about anything we've learned recently, please ask and we'll do our best to answer.
On our last post, we asked who was interested in using their powers offensively or defensively to start working on protective strategies, as well as anyone who is interested in using their powers to gather information, and anyone who wants to learn basic non-powered defense maneuvers. You all know who you are. Right now, the offensive power group will be supervised by Spartacus and Duke, the defensive power group will be supervised by Shepard and Ace, we have a variety of teachers who volunteered for the non-powered self-defense groups, and Dorothy, Linden, and myself will be handling the surveillance strategies. We'll be breaking these up into smaller groups so that we're not all meeting at the same times for the sake of security, so please pay attention to the Undernet in case you are contacted by one of the leaders for a meeting.
Regular powers training will still be ongoing, for anyone who is still interested. If you are new to our group and want to volunteer or join the training, please arrange a time to meet with Orion, whose power allows him to assess your progress and capabilities for your own and your power trainer's insight. Right now, we strongly advise that all 95/96 members join training -- not that we think any less of you, but given that you've had your powers for the least amount of time, we'd like to make sure all of you have the opportunity to work with other Vols and make some non-IVI marked progress.
Last but not least, the Undernet has a new feature: emergency alerts. In case of an emergency, we're setting up an option on your phone to mark new posts as High Priority. Please only do this if something serious occurs and you want everyone to know about it ASAP, because it will cause every phone with our modified chip in it to start vibrating non-stop until you open the Undernet and check the post.
That's all for now, and thanks for your patience. We're glad to have you all here.
