[Erik didn't receive a token. A great deal of his group didn't. But some...well some did. It's frustrating; he doesn't think that the tokens will ever actually let them leave this place. He has been proven right, though, that things here are more complicated when it comes to the missions.

Doesn't mean he is happy. In fact, he may have destroyed a

Looks like we found the catch.

[token_vengeance]

At least it's sooner, rather than later.

Though I'm sure it won't be the last.

[femshep]

If you think there is a 'last', you're more optimistic than I am.

To answer your question, I got a token. My whole group did, that makes five.

[token_vengeance]

Everything ends a one point or another.

[Via freedom or death.]

Was this everyone's first time?

[femshep]

You think that's a factor? [The fact that she's considering that idea means that yes, it was everyone's first time.]

[token_vengeance]

It has something to do with it.

Only one person I have talked to who has been on two missions has two tokens.

[femshep]

How many have they been on?

[token_vengeance]

Two. So they received them back to back.

[femshep]

So then, what do they have that we don't?

[And sent a couple of minutes later, on the off-chance that he's prone to dry retorts, because she never can tell with some people:]

Besides two tokens.

[token_vengeance]

That's what I'm attempting to figure out.

[Her extra text makes him laugh, to say the least. Because yes, that is what he would have said.]

I think it might have something to do with the type of position they took within the mission.

[femshep]

Who's the lucky winner?

[The one who got two, she means. Dry remarks don't convey well over text, but trust me, this is one of them.

And she has the feeling she'd been right about his next remark, even if he neither confirms nor denies it. She may not be a telepath, but she's generally not too bad at reading people.]

I take it you led the cavalry last time too, then.

Sound enough theory, though. People stick with what they know they can do, and not too many would have switched positions just for the hell of it.

[token_vengeance]

A dear anon.

[He's starting to truly get annoyed at people's love for it. It doesn't protect them, whatever they might think.]

Yes.

This person fought the first time, provided support the second.

[femshep]

Convenient.

[She hasn't had a problem with that yet, but she tends less toward the 'asking questions, taking names' approach anyway.]

Looks like the evidence is stacking up.

[Not that she's 100% convinced yet, but it's a sound theory.]

[token_vengeance]

It seems to be.

But if this new 'rule' only applied to this mission, it helps us little in the future.
