Should we have a kind of enigmatic message at the beginning of the game? Y'know, like:

What we percieve is a limited thing.
We, all of us, live on in a blissful ignorance.
Is it a blessing or a curse, that our own minds cannot correlate their contents?
When the day fades to shadow, should we shine a light on that which piques curiosity?
For what we percieve can come crashing down onto either our limits, or onto us.
When perception crashes, is it by will or chance that some withstand it?

I wrote another document:
http://perceptioncrash.sourceforge.net/ ... /CHARON-73

Tiak said he would write something like this, so I assume he did this:
http://perceptioncrash.sourceforge.net/ ... _Article_2

His is pretty good, I'd have to say.

What would you do differently?

Sounds like you volunteered to rewrite it. Go for it.

Public knowledge of where a cornerstone of this country lies poses a threat to all the people of the country, and we have decided that excessive military budgets for our defence are wasteful. Thusly, this move ensures efficient spending and continued government through a relay of decisions. We look forward to a time when we can be restored to our former offices, but it's simply not practical

I don't see why this part was an issue:

The politician said it, not the newspaper.

A question about the newspaper article:

What mysterious events would make a move out of DC necessary? The crash? Why? The major effect was in Nevada and wasn't a direct attack. The effects of the crash weren't a direct threat against the government. If we're going to keep this, I think we need to clear it up a bit. It sounds good, but doesn't make much sense.

[20:41] Tiak: ORACLE-51 is especially nice, the others would be largely visual
[20:41] T-1: visual?
[20:41] Tiak: Well, for example, like the flier, the text alone doesn't really describe what it'd be
[20:42] T-1: what what is like?
[20:43] T-1: you mean, it doesn't sound like a flier?
[20:45] Tiak: No, I just mean it's more aof a visial thing so just the text of it doesn't really do it justice.
[20:45] T-1: ahhh
[20:45] T-1: you mean, we need to show Psions being oppressed?
[20:46] T-1: well, I would figure that we would do that anyway
[20:46] T-1: we want to show things on many levels
[20:47] Tiak: Hmm, thinking about the newspaper article now though...
[20:47] Tiak: People still listen to Senators?...
[20:48] Tiak: I mean if things are going into a state of martial law, and anti-psionic propaganda is everywhere, you'd figure there'd be senators/reps that didn't want to go along
[20:48] T-1: yeah, there would be
[20:48] Tiak: so them being in contact with the press might be a bad thing for the government...
[20:49] T-1: but he's not one of them
[20:49] T-1: they'd keep a few puppets up
[20:49] T-1: to reassure people
[20:49] Tiak: That makes sense I suppose
[20:49] Tiak: What should we do with them in general though?
[20:49] T-1: besides, te TF leader can egokineticise people into believing they're doing the right thing
[20:50] Tiak: Right now I'm thinking that soon after the perception crash they and their families were sent to live in a "secure location" for their safety to fullfill their duties
[20:50] Tiak: and the only comments that get out, the martial law government wants to get out
[20:50] T-1: sounds like a good idea
[20:51] T-1: write a newspaper article about it
