Tell me about Russia.

[infomodder]

Russia is the largest country on Earth and a cold one. Its history here is different from the one on my own Earth. What's called the Cold War is still going here. It used to be cold, but then they invaded briefly earlier this year and abducted several of us so it can't be genuinely called that anymore. They haven't done much since, not directly, but I'm sure they're cooking something up. Just takes time.

[khaleesipls]

What happened to the imPorts that were taken?

[infomodder]

They were stuck in a sort of cage together and unable to use their powers from what I was told.

[khaleesipls]

Did they hurt anyone?

[infomodder]

Yes. In a variety of ways. That's likely why you don't hear people discussing it much.

[khaleesipls]

I'm sorry.

This is the first I've heard of any personal reason for imPorts to take a position on the war, aside from the imposition of the American government.

When did it happen?

[infomodder]

[CONDOLENCES oh how awkward, better ignore it]

End of this January. That's about nine months ago now. They held a seminar while they were here. It was called a seminar anyway.

Have you heard of brainwashing?

[khaleesipls]

I'm not sure.

[ (no.) ]

[infomodder]

We know the sky is blue and grass is green. Your brain has been "wired." It can be rewired. After the task is complete, you could look at a beautiful blue sky and say it's green, and the green grass is blue, and you would believe it.

[where theon when you need him]

What you know and believe as true can be washed away and replaced with something else.

[khaleesipls]

I understand.

[ Deception, willful blindness. Slaves convinced of their station. He's more familiar with the concept than he is the terminology. ]

[infomodder]

That was a feature when they were around. So they took some of us, they invaded, they attempted to brainwash, and that's as short a summary as I can give.

[khaleesipls]

[ Days later: ]

Was this the army stationed on Enoch?

[infomodder]

[A little while later...]

That was something else. It's possible there was some overlap though.

[khaleesipls]

I spent the last several years serving as an adviser to the Queen.

She expects me to know things.

I wouldn’t know a Russian if one bit me on the ass.

What sort of beer do you buy?

[infomodder]

[Oh. Huh. Explains the skills with silence.]

Whatever I'm in the mood for. Usually on the cheaper end. Do you need a brand name?

[khaleesipls]

That’d be a start.

[infomodder]

[A few minutes pass before Jorah has a list of several brands, their price range, and where they can be found. Of course he includes one that has to be found around De Chima, because not everything worthwhile can be found in gas stations or liquor stores. But it's concise and helpful and all things good.]
