The quest begins.

Hey, this is about half an hour after the last post. I have no idea how long it's been your end.

We're about to head off. We gathered a few things together, a quick visit to the old SOLAR base (Someone had destroyed most of it, looked like the selfdestruct protocol, but the planets room survived, it can only be blown up by Rag using the big red button, it's fortified against most other stuff. I grabbed a couple of survival packs from inside Earth, and activated Mars. It burst through what was left of the skylight, and shot into the sky, waiting for further instructions. It'll be fine there until I need it.

Diffy knows the locations of five of our friends, and has made a couple of new ones, so we're starting with the information he has, and we hope to learn more as we go. He may have grabbed me earlier than planned, or because of how events worked out for him he remembers a little out of sync, because he asked me if I noticed anything significant while attacking HG's stronghold the first time.
'I haven't attacked it yet?'
'What? Oh, that's be after you escaped HG the first time, that can't have happened yet...'
'Actually-'
'That or Moira grabbed you earlier than planned.....Then you won't know the truth about 'The Eye' yet......'
'What?! What about the 'The Eye'?!'
'Spoilers. I'm not going to divulge any more on the subject.'
'Divulge? Diffy using the word Divulge. You're right, something went horribly wrong in this timeline.....'
'Hey, I had to grow up pretty damn fast! And yes, I've moved on from 'stinky' this new world does things to you, changes you, and cute can't survive anymore.'

Apparently one of his new allies is coming down from Scotland and will meet us at Dover. One's already there, and there's a guy in america he lost contact with when the VHS Satellite was discovered and destroyed. A few more are trying to make it to us, but the world is a dangerous place, so who knows.

On our way to Dover, Diffy's going to tell me about this new world. He refuses to go into details about My near future, but he's going to tell me how the current situation arose. What's he's told me so far is pretty bleak. Turns out SOLAR tried to beat HG, and everyone but Glutton died, he only last a few more months, along with most of the people we've met or helped. There was a lot of resistance for about a year, but he always won in the end. He's turned the most resistant into zombie-like drones, incredibly loyal slaves that do his bidding and patrol, looking for rebels.

He ALWAYS wins. I have no idea how we are going to survive this, but we need to reunite VHS. Friends, wherever you are, don't worry, we're coming!
