Who: Martin Blackwood and maybe you!
Username: [mkblackwood]
Warnings: Nothing past current game events!
[The feed opens to Martin, looking... well, more than a bit haggard. He's not in the ADI building, and those who know him will know it's a desk at his bedroom in the house he's renting with Rogers, Winter, and Yelena. He looks like he's at least trying to be put together, and takes a big breath before he starts.]
Okay, so... so listen. I just, I, I know it's been-- a lot, lately, everything's been a lot for a long time and we all want answers. But-- with the whole, er. The whole Dogtown thing. And the fence. Have we all just... thought about maybe not going in there?
[He puts his hands up defensively as if he's expecting to be yelled at.]
And I know, I know, I-- I want to save our friends too, but... it wouldn't be drawing us in if it didn't want us there. And if it wants us there, it has a plan, and-- I just, I just think this whole thing is a really really bad idea. And maybe we should consider taking a step back, and thinking about what happens, and not-- not just doing this because it's the next thing to do.
[Martin looks more resolute as the broadcast goes on, trying to straighten his back and be, well, big about the whole thing. But still, he exhales more than he likely should at the end, and then just hastily nods.]
So... please?

[Her expression tightened.]
We tried getting more information while we was in there with him scaring me. I asked him to do it, mind you. 'Fore you get worried about that. He didn't bring it up. I did. Didn't work, but I think he wants what we want: A way home.
Even the worst folk can be worked with if you got a common goal. And we win by having more of us than them. By thinking clever and sacrificing where we have to.

Mercy, you-- you have to believe me, you can't trust anything he says. He's never going to be on your side, it--
[He sighs, and it feels like a heavier weight than this conversation could ever be.]
You're really going to go in there, aren't you. Everyone is. You-- you don't understand.
