For those who knew them: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Clark Kent, Scott Lang and Foggy Nelson are gone.

[ Bruce doesn't know whether or not to leave it at that. He wants to keep it a brief announcement, almost detached, but in the process he's making it fairly obvious that some of these people leaving has affected him a lot. But then again, that's why he went with text, so he can avoid any slip of his expression or tone of voice that might betray just how upset he is.

He doesn't really want to talk about it. Or maybe he does, but he doesn't know with whom, or how to bring it up. It's not like he's ever been the best at expressing himself.

Best to just leave it at that. Short and... not really sweet, no. ]

That's it.

[ Snake would also rather not be stuck in some holding pattern. At least moving through space and stopping off at planets gives them the illusion of going somewhere, though whether they'll make it home by any means other than the Ingress is iffy. ]

So if you're right about all this and people are really going home, then I guess we should consider it a good thing when they disappear.

[hyperkinesia]

I guess we should, yes. If I'm right.

[ And well, what Bruce should feel has only so much weight when he misses people, when he knows his life on board the Moira would be so much better with them here too. He's perfectly aware that it's a selfish sentiment, but he's never claimed to be perfect. ]

[soldiergenes]

You don't sound so sure.

[ Then again, some of these people they might never get the chance to see again, if they're from different worlds. Snake realizes that isn't the easiest pill to swallow. The solution would be to not get attached in the first place, but Snake has learned time and again how that isn't always doable. ]

There's very little I'm sure about when it comes to this. There's just too much about the Ingress that's a mystery to us still, so most of this is just conjecture. We might not ever know for sure what happens when people disappear, even, or there might be different options, for instance.

[soldiergenes]

That's not really the answer I wanted to hear, but it doesn't surprise me. I appreciate the info.

[hyperkinesia]

Sorry. I figured you'd rather hear the harsh truth than a soothing lie. Though if I ever get any definite answers as to what happens during this process, I'll let you know.

[soldiergenes]

You're right about that. Maybe some people would want to be lied to, but not me.

Yeah, keep in touch.
