The acting Heads of the Knighthood - Hasmed and Solace - have made a decision that is not easy for many.  Given the terrible state of everything happening in America, they've decided to relocate operations entirely to the States, and have secured a facility near Las Vegas.  It is certainly possible, with the grim missions that lie before them, that many, or all, of the Knights may never return.  Reactions to the announcement are certain to be strong, but it's time to choose what they will bring with them to their new life - and for some, to decide if it's a journey they can bring themselves to take.

Most are ready to move out, I think, but again: quite a bit of paperwork. There's been a move to digitize over the years, but I've never fully gotten past the smell of good parchment.

[She gestures to the filing cabinets behind her work station.]

I keep a digital record of everything, but I grew up taking my own notes by hand. Some habits are hard to break. I think there are benefits of keeping important records in both formats. For every firewall we build to keep out hackers, there are just as many viruses built to specifically break them down. But fewer and fewer people think to even entertain the idea of physical record.

Who knows- maybe our outdated methods will be the key to some breakthrough as we move forward.

Either way, most of our archives are safely stored and will remain under Sir Petersen's care. [ his smile fades just a tiny bit ] It's nice to know that some vestige of us might remain, should the worst fate fall out.

[daredtobelieve]

[She offers him a sympathetic smile.]

Let's hope it won't come to that. I'm not ready to become nothing but a memory, just yet.

[koraith]

I don't mean to sound so grim. Just... trying to find light even in the worst potentialities.

[daredtobelieve]

Completely understandable. I think we're all trying to manage that, in our own way. [She lets out a heavy exhale, forcing a smile.]

Have you spent much time in America? Obviously, the political climate these days doesn't make it the friendliest of places. But parts of it are quite beautiful.

[koraith]

Mostly for missions, but back before transportation was such a simple matter, that would sometimes necessitate spending very long periods there.

[daredtobelieve]

Not too many around here would remember a life before teleportation and airplanes were so readily available.

[koraith]

No, they would not. The world had a very different pace then.
