[Text/Action?] Stop Polluting the Water

[depolarized]

[OOC: Some of you may remember this post, we got the go ahead, all who replied and new people very welcome! Just let me know what your character will be doing! Handwave is fine as well, let me know! Further plotting of all kinds welcome! CONCERNED CITIZENS UNITE!]

I'm sick of tiptoeing around the water. It's time we took it back.

Anyone who has pictures, video, any evidence about those wiseguys dumping chemicals into the water, let's start sending them out to the media.It has to be anonymous, careful, and all at once. How is up to you. Send them to environmentalist groups and anyone else you can think of too-- let's see them try to keep everyone quiet.

I have a few media contacts and I know there are others. If you think you can help, let everyone know.

We might not know what it is, but we can let people know something's going on. If everyone's watching the site, they'll have to explain themselves or stop.

Nick's volunteered to get prepaid phones and voice changers for anyone who wants to do anonymous phone tips. Text him if you're up for it. Keep it casual.

Shou, you still up for this?

I have a number of contacts in journalism, but I'd be quite concerned that they might be assumed to be part of our little club and targeted for assassination should they leak this information.

Granted, I suppose we're all in this together, but... well. The point being, I have contact information for a number of high-profile persons in the local media and beyond, and can indeed get anonymous tips out to them.

In any case... still. We do need to do something about this.

[here's a list of some email addresses and phone numbers of people in local newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations. There's also a few local environmental groups.]

They don't seem interested in the normal people, not if they let the girl they took in for questioning go. The bigger problem is making sure they don't trace it back to you. Sending it to a lot of people should make it easier to get lost.

Thanks, I'll see who can send something out.

email's such a bad plan given what we know about the NSA now

i guess phones work

that being said I can probably set up a few secure dummy email addresses but i suggest sending the emails from open use public library computers so it's harder to track us

Can they trace it over public wifi? If not, cafes might work, too.

If someone can spot me video, I can get it going on Youtube. I have a few anon accounts on there and know some screamers who love to wave this stuff around.

Julian has one. I bet others do, too. I'll let you know once someone turns it in. Do you need Julian's contact?

Just what Riku said. I'll be hanging out in the park Friday afternoon and evening under the guise of having a barbecue. If you want to stop by and pick up a phone and a hamburger, feel free.

[Edited to add: you can assume Nick gave your character a phone and such if you like, or tag here on the network and handwave the interaction, or we can thread it all! I'm easy.]

Hey, I've got a few people interested in sending the data out. [List attached] What are you barbecueing? [Come on, free food.]

[lackinginfaith]

I think I've got the perfect idea. The publicists I work with are saying I need something to do these days, too.

[depolarized]

I wouldn't put a name or face on it. It's too risky if they take you in for questioning.

If you're interested in getting scientific evidence to back up these claims, look into the city's forensics lab. You'd need someone to commission the work, but a chemical analysis could be quite enlightening. I'd like to see what could be behind this phenomenon myself.

[depolarized]

That'd make a good step two. Maybe someone can hint commissioning the research in one of the tips.

Don't really have any contacts, but I'll see who I can look up and give them a call.

Here's a list Maya's got. If you know a good way not to get caught, you can try sending something out to them.

You mean to a normal person? Worth a shot. Try working with [lightsoflife). She might have some ideas.

If you need a celebrity endorsement... I may have some contacts.

[acequeen]

Can't say I have any contacts who'll be interested, but I'll be bringing my video phone along to record the evidence. Let's see if these leeches think they'll get away with this.

[ursoreckless]

Yeah, still am up for this. Think I was gonna back out? I've got a few people to send information to.

Don't have too many contacts either, but the internet is an amazing place.

hey
i've got a bottle of the stuff straight from the warehouse still
all glowing pink and everything
if anyone wants to throw that for evidence i can put it in a container without my prints on it and drop it off somewhere
just let me know

sorry if it's too late thats okay

[dorkytracksuit]

i'm pretty good with computers. i know a few places on the net were i can post these to have them go viral (hopefully) and without getting caught.

i can't help with the pictures cause of how i look but if you need any tech support just let me know.

boop boop i too am very late (but hopefully not too much)

[gogoghostpowers]

I have contacts to everyone on the Locke City conspiracy forums. A lot of them already know about the poisoned water "theory", but maybe if I can get some photos or video or something, it'll be enough proof to make them realize it's true?

Some of them have to work in media, too, and if they get actual proof, they might be able spread it around as news stories to the "non-crazy" people.
