First off, we want to note that this is going to be a part of a mini-event that we'll be running in October while we prep for a year-ending AU event. Good job on those worms, Rey!
Secondly: go ahead and head over to our taken list to have Rey's name updated again. Will she still be Rey Nolo? We're in suspense!
For the first leg of this plot, Rey will be called into a meeting with Meredith Ling and Montague Finnley, Riverstone's Head of Security. Ling is a cold woman in private, with sharp, decisive eyes and a twist of her lips. She's all business, though she does smile, briefly, when she sees Rey face to face. In contrast, Finnley is a charismatic Black man who seems like he enjoys the sound of his voice. But he's nice and he welcomes Rey into the office, calling her "Rey." It's Finnley who leads the discussion here, stating that they got word from the UN that she decided to change her name back to someone that the UN most wanted, but interference from an unknown source prevented any punitive or diplomatic action. Since she's an employee of Riverstone, Ling and Finnley were informed of this.
Now, Finnley insists that they're not mad at Rey in the least: they understand that the UN had made some of her friends look rather bad following the EMP in New Amsterdam, blaming them for everything but the EMP itself. Her moral character there is to be commended. It's just that her friends—meaning "the Displaced"—are of interest to Riverstone.
Starting with Rey, they'll ask her:
• How she came to be what she is now? • Do the Displaced have a tie to the person who's intervened? Important note: they seemed to be asking about a singular person. • Do they know where that person is at this time? • Where does she think she gets her abilities from?
And then they'll offer to do tests, both for Rey and her friends, to help get some clear diagnostics of what they can do. They know the UNA put Rey through some intense circumstances, so they would be happy to provide any and all information on the testing they'd like to do. Everything will involve informed consent, especially since Riverstone could easily take the heat if anything were to happen.
The offer itself comes with a week-long all-expenses-paid vacation to New Beijing. It helps, of course, that Riverstone basically owns the city, but anyone accompanying Rey wouldn't need to concern themselves with reservations and hotel rooms, wouldn't need to eat bad street food, or anything like that.
The offer in return? Answers. They have "suspicions" about who releases them out into the world and are hoping that they can gather information from the Displaced that will help them find who's doing this.
They'll give Rey time to respond, as well as bring her offer to the others. And they encourage her to do just that: to let the others decide if they want to take Riverstone up on their offer, to learn more about themselves and their abilities, at least from a scientific perspective. And in turn, they'll get answers.
