And, well... She still might, you know. I don't want to be responsible for that. >_>

Good question, that's why I said I'd have to think about things before I gave her anything. We really need to be careful with what we tell her about all this.

I propose the most open approach, short of just showing her the timeline. Basically, we do a Weirdness Censor on our facts, and we are left with the following official premise:

1. We have someone who left New Light with their some of their experimental tech. He only contacts us on his own terms, but the info is reliable. (That's Matrx, obviously.)
2. One of us knows him personally, that's how we got involved. (He doesn't know him that personally yet, but she doesn't have to know that.)
3. We don't know much yet, except for New Light's general evilness and ambitious weaponizable technology in late stages of development.
4. Everything we discovered after we found Rebecca's blog is pretty much fair game.

The drawback to this particular approach is that it's not exactly lying (we tend to stick to Exact Words, don't we ), but it does come pretty close.

And please let's say right away that we don't actually know anything about her father. We can still help her find out, but she shouldn't get her hopes out. Our only actual help here is knowing the right guy, codebreaking, pixelhunting and being Genre Savvy. After all, Brent and her father might have... just known each other, with no underlying conspiracy.
Ok, who am I kidding. ._.

Don't forget that inaction will result in free murderbots for everyone in the near future, Becky included. She and Matrx are our only points to act upon, and the latter is still in poor shape to affect anything directly, and rarely gets in touch.

I say we tell her.

I say we tell her. If she gets killed, she was probably going to anyway. If not, we have someone on the inside. Besides, she deserves to know that she works for supervillains.

Rebecca F:
bdecky1991[at]outlook[dot]com There;s my email. I think the guy named Eli already has it, but you know. Ask what you want about my dad. I'll tell

Rebecca F.:
you whatever you want to know.

Rebecca F.:
what if I shwoed you a picture?

Jonathan Rizko:
That might work

Jonathan Rizko:
And thanks for the email.
