Intel Puzzle [video] [encrypted]

[googledox]

Patterns are emerging in the intelligence Kid Quantum handed out. It's time we narrowed down our search so we can plan our next mission accordingly.

[ooc: Though only people who signed up for clues can hand them out, anyone on the team can participate in the discussion to figure them out.]

The Roboticans seemed really worried about saving their people from the Silent Horizon, so I don't know that we should hold that against them.

The Daxamites, on the other hand, apparently pushed really hard to send us in, when they didn't really have a huge reason to. So did the Carggites.

I also found out the Braalians were involved with Harrub, during Murderworld, but if they didn't mess with the security on Cargg, and actually wanted the Legion to handle security during the diplomatic meetup on Talok IV, maybe that's just coincidence.

Because if they'd let the team handle security from the start, we probably could've prevented the attack from ever happening. The delegations that pushed for the Science Police to be in charge, but to conveniently have us around, are probably the shady ones. That lined us up for the trap without giving us any control over the situation.

I'm gonna agree on the Roboticans and Braalians being out of the running as far as trying to sabotage us goes, unless more information saying otherwise comes up. Just being involved in diplomatic relations with Harrub isn't really a smoking gun. It's not unlikely Braal was kept in the dark about everything.

And the Roboticans see Brainy as the father of their entire race. I can't see any of them turning on him like that.

Dude, I looked it up and apparently his birthday is like their biggest religious holiday.

Don't tell him, but I'm working on a coffee cup that uses an EM field to filter out everything but the purest caffeine and flavor, with no wasted liquids or stray grinds.

[It'll only be the five hundred thousandth one.]

It also has two dozen morale-boosting phrases that can be activated with a certain fingertapping sequence.

[deafleppard]

Aren't there some Daxamites out there that are still looking to get their mass-murder going on again?

Worth keeping in mind, if you ask me.

[captainbuzzkill]

Yeah, maybe the two Daxamite Council-people are hiding some really sinister background of wanting to kill other species or something.

[deafleppard]

That's not a terrifying thought.

[leverageintceo]

There are some of every species who want to get their mass-murder going, though. That's not a Daxamite thing, that's just a people thing.

[vata]

The Daxamites were getting cozy with the Harrub before. While the Legion's agents were dealing with— seriously? [Sombra scoffs, rechecking the data stores she's collected with a shake of her head.] 'Murderworld'.

Subtle.

[leverageintceo]

So was Braal. It wasn't called 'Murderworld' publicly outside of Harrub until after the Legion blew it wide open.

[vata]

Huh. The more you know.

[Note taken and filed away, for any future mulling over this might require.]

[deafleppard]

But the Daxamites are making it really obvious.

Furthering the topic of Silent Horizon, I pieced together that the Naltorians voted for the Legion to go while the Coluans were against that action.

[thedreamisdead]

Unsurprising. From what I've read, Colu's got a bad history with robots. Didn't like them joining the UP. I'd be more suspicious if they supported an action that didn't involve inconveniencing them somehow.

[araignee_du_soir]

[The Coluans were among those Widowmaker thought were currently free if corruption.]

If we cross-reference those that supported Silent Horizon and wanted the Legion as guests at the Second Galaxy meeting, we have the Daxamites and the Naltorians. I am of the thought the Cargittes may also have stood with them on Silent Horizon.

Can anyone confirm?
