[Ordinarily text is their preferred method of communication. It is simple, to the point, and allows them ample time to compose their response with as many polysyllabic words as possible, as if that might compensate for their apparent youth. But there is little to no time for that, now. So the transmission, when it occurs, is audio only.

The tone of the speaker is that of a child's - albeit a cold, brisk, and businesslike one.]

Some time ago, it seems that a significant portion of the Moira's crew, when it existed, was abducted by a group of interdimensional slavers. They were held against their will. Exploited for the purposes of others.

[A hiss of a match being struck, and the crackle of something being set alight, and the voice continues:]

There were children among them.

[A moment. A halting intake of breath, the fluid cadence of their speech disrupted. Muzzling the impulse that swells in their chest, the boiling ember of rage that eats at what passes for a SOUL, for one such as them. Expression flat, words dull. Control. Control. Always, control.

Speak as though nothing is wrong.]

I am transmitting the Ingress signature one may use to access this world. Those that possess a conscience, or those that simply wish to have something to fight - [The last word twists into something else, a live snake coiling into a promise.] - I would encourage you to take action.

private to METTATON:
The way is open. Try not to get killed.

[Attached is the Ingress signature. They've already wasted more words than he's worth, honestly, but if something should happen to him, both Frisk and Asriel will very likely have something to say about it.]

private to ASRIEL and FRISK:
I will be away on a mission of sorts for a few days. Do not worry about me, and please, do not follow. I am well equipped for the task.

Asriel needs you there.

don't do this

Stay home. Keep your sibling safe, Asriel.

I wasn't here then. How do I know your claims are true?

Do you truly need my assistance in locating some manner of third party confirmation?

[otiosity]

Hmmmm, I'd nearly forgotten about my old friends. We had such a lovely time together back on that outpost. My favorite was when they tried to sell me!

I've been rude not to visit for so long.

voice

[inconsequence]

That's the spirit.

[What a cheerful pronouncement. One would be forgiven for assuming they're quite contented with this turn of events.]

You would be among those that remember, then.

[saveyourserpent]

I killed one, back then. The one directly responsible for parading me about their unpleasant little murder game.

[Ignore the fact that he kind of got into fighting; it's kiiiinda what he was made for, and the praise when he was winning was maybe a little... pleasant.]

I never quite thought that was enough.

Count me in.

audio

[inconsequence]

Good.

[There's no mistaking the vicious satisfaction in their tone as they say it, commending that action. Commending anyone who would follow those footsteps, now or prior to their ACT.]

It will not be enough until their very establishment crumbles.

[el_paso]

That's it? That's your whole fucking plan, kid? "These are bad men, go get them", no strategy, no nothing; you expect people to be your vanguard, not knowing what they're in for on the other side?

[inconsequence]

[Don't you dare imply this isn't anything but the most finely thought out and well-plotted maneuver, cunningly and manipulatively engineered by a very mature person who is definitely not like ten.]

And what would you suggest?

voice

[justonetouch]

[She hadn't been there for it, and Rogue can't say that it is something that she would have desires to witness. She's been held against her will, although not by any slaver. But, there is a slight pause.]

The whole planet partakes in it?

voice

[inconsequence]

That particular Outpost serves as a...hub, it seems. The entire area is plagued with their kind.

[Like they're a species or something.]

audio;

[welcomeprofessor]

While I don't disagree that what's been done here is unconscionable, one injustice used to "fix" another is not a solution.

[Also this is a terrible plan, but he's not even to that part of it yet.]

audio;

[inconsequence]

Speak for yourself.

[This is the only "justice" they know - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The only language that children like them understand.]

Call it..."retribution."

this seems a little poorly conceived

[they're like!!!! ten maybe. or eleven. they're dead, they don't keep track of these things.]

I, for one, find it to be refreshingly simple.

text;

[specifications]

First off, pretty sure you're a kid.

Second, you need to do a little better than this.

You're advocating traveling through to another planet to kill people? You better provide some actual proof that this is real. And even then, what you're talking about is essentially mass murder and using emotional blackmail to get people involved.

text;

[inconsequence]

Are children still children when they're dead? Scientists don't seem to know the anwer!

[lol]

No one is required to, certainly. If you're one to doubt the validity of my claims, you're free to make further inquiries on your own behalf.

[They'll just be like...killing shit in the meantime.]

[coercive]

Children?

[Well. That's all Laura needs to be convinced. Time to sharpen the claws and get going. It's not like she's going to pass up a chance to fight, either.]

I can take action.

[inconsequence]

[Whoever she is, they can appreciate both her brevity and direct nature, if only peripherally.]

Good.

[She looks and sounds like something of a child herself, but when has that ever been an obstacle in Chara's own plans? It's hardly ever mattered to the world, after all. Now it never will.]

I take it you can handle your own in a FIGHT?

[shadowblends]

these slavers had captured children?

[Adults are one thing, children are entirely another.

Still, he can't ignore the fact that people were kidnapped, even if he wasn't here at the time, but he needs more details before he decides to go rushing into something that might get him into trouble.]

is there anything more specific you can provide about these people?

text;

[inconsequence]

They are capable of restricting movement via a collar they force around the necks of those under their care. I imagine that should they catch you, they will attempt to do the same now.

They regard those they catch as lesser, as beneath them.

They have evaded punishment for far too long.

[retrovirion]

what are you lighting on fire??

[ not that it's the most alarming part of this post, but it does seem to be the most immediately alarming. at least, in his opinion. matches sound like matches. especially when you sound like a kid with matches. especially when you sound like a kid with matches who is all like 'hey let's go kill some bad guys like woo, sure, great, but

Things that burn, presumably.

[inconsequence]

Few people do.

[Chara being one of the prime exceptions, naturally.]

audio

[geomagnetically]

[Not that her face can be seen in this reply, but Lorna is facepalming. There's a drawn out sigh. This is pretty familiar to her where she comes from, unfortunately -- the idea of slavery and kidnapping, exploiting people for various purposes. Usually mutants were the ones suffering. Hell, it's happened to her more than once in there too.

It's pretty horrible no matter where it happens, innocent people getting hurt.

It's usually a shitty idea to charge into something like this with minimal planning, and from this broadcast, it doesn't sound like there's a lot of a plan other than "take action".]

This... seems like a very vague plan at best. [Just saying. But she'll go. If there are people there that need help, she would want to help -- and she wants to try to help people who are responding to this call to action and might be walking into some sort of hot mess that gets them hurt as well.

Try being the operative word.]

audio

[inconsequence]

[This is obviously a super well-conceived plan that has no holes or possibilities for failure, ever!! Just don't think too hard about how any of it came together. Or what's likely to come after, because it's going to become rampantly apparent to any Thisavrou officials just who is responsible for this.

They'll deal with the consequences as they come. As anyone would.]

Your feedback has been noted, [Chara says brightly, the very embodiment of dismissive cheer.] It will be taken into consideration in due time!

[nishizono]

you want people to jump in and fight with you and that's all the info you're giving out?

come on.

[inconsequence]

You all, presumably, possess brains, TABs, and a search function.

Do some research.

[shitty employee of the month]

Chara,

I don't agree with how you're doing this. It's impulsive, reactionary, and has a 100% chance of biting you in the ass, especially considering however you got that signature.

That said, let me know what your plan is, and what you need, if anything. I doubt I could stop you if I tried, so let me cover your back.

[inconsequence]

[Hhhhhhhhahaha hey boss oh my lord they are so fired]

I accept whatever consequences are to come of it. They are mine to bear alone.

[witchweird]

Fire is not even a weapon, it is an undiscriminating force of nature. If you start a fire, anything may burn. Including what you want most to protect.

text

[inconsequence]

Good thing there's nothing I need protected, then!

[Liar.]

Thank you for the lesson in basic physics, but I don't require an education in fire as a concept.

You have a plan?

Burn every inch of the place to the ground. Destroy that which cannot be burnt.

[Okay, edgelord, dial it back there a notch.]
