Okay so...bear with me, because there's a lot of shit happening and you all need to pay attention.
First off: Rabbit, Shepherd, and I sat down and made the choice to give chips to the remaining people who were in solitary after the attack on the lab. They're on IVI's most wanted list, and given that we're getting to the point where IVI is cracking down to an extreme degree, they deserve to be aware of our plans and participate if possible. There's a reason we use codenames here, and it's not 100% to protect us from IVI. If you don't want your identity known to any particular members, the codenames will keep you more or less anonymous if you don't give yourself away, so if you're not 100% comfortable with this decision, you aren't being exposed. However, the point of this thing is that we're all working together to protect ourselves from IVI. Don't forget we're all on the same side, here.
Second: Spartacus, Duke, and Ace are all in solitary right now, so we're short our offensive leaders and one of our defensive leaders. I'm suggesting that Rabbit and Wallaby take over as offensive leaders and Linden take over as defensive leader with Shepherd. We're going to break the groups up into very small meetings, no larger than five for each group, so only one of the two leaders needs to be present at each one. Talk to your leaders and organize appropriately. Don't show up unplanned to a meeting. Make sure someone else who is not going knows for sure if you are going to a meeting.
To that extent, know that Dorothy, Valentine, and Playboy have swept our deadzones. We found two more bugs, but that's it. We're taking those areas off the map and we'll keep sweeping them regularly. For now, you can keep using them to talk and practice if need be, but for the love of god, don't keep going to the same fucking spot every time. Go as far away from campus as you can. If you CAN practice without a deadzone, do. Talk to Bacardi for soundproofing as a third option.
These people volunteered to teach non-powered self-defense: Dorothy, Echelon, Clíodhna, Molson, Smith, Zorro, Halftime, Spinner, Playboy. If you want to train with them, get in contact with them. If you want to volunteer to have your name added to that list, let me know. Don't meet in groups larger than 2-3. Text or email reasons to meet if you can come up with something legit.
If you haven't yet talked to Dorothy or Rabbit or Linden about participating in surveillance shit, please do. We need all the info we can get right now.
Last but
not least: don't break any rules.
Stay in training. The last thing we need to do right now is lose more members to solitary. We need to be careful right now. For the love of god, keep your heads as much as possible and if you're scared or angry, find someone to help you. Don't melt down. Don't attack staff. Don't hide in your rooms. It sucks, but that's what we have to do to get through this.
Thanks for your cooperation. Thanks for reading this far. Sorry to everyone who has friends in solitary right now. Talk to us if you need anything.
