Brimstone：Good evening, agents. Welcome to the group chat; I hope you're all enjoying the new gadgets. Please be informed that important announcements will still be sent to you via emails and the most urgent ones will be sent directly to your homescreens. We'll be using this chat for smaller, equally important announcements and general communication, as Killjoy told me you'd appreciate this more than having to check your emails everyday for an update on the amount of coffee we have. Additionally, make sure to look through the email we sent you all this afternoon about the move into headquarters— it'll include a lot of information you're gonna want to know if you don't want to be lost for the next few weeks. Other than that, get some rest and try not to flood everyone's notifications, thanks. -Brimstone
Sage：Thank you, Brimstone 😊
Killjoy：Thanks Brim!!!
Phoenix：aight but what counts as a "smaller but equally important announcement"?
Killjoy：I'm sure you can figure it out
Jett：💀
Phoenix：ITS A GENUINE QUESTION

Phoenixeveryone needs to know about that right????
Jett：By “rat”, do you mean you? :P
Phoenix：wtf did i do to you man 😭
Phoenixyoure the one that threw a knife at me when we first met
Jett：I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT WASN’T ME
Phoenix：YEAH BUT THE SENTIMENTS THE SAME
Viper：Anything that concerns a large majority of the protocol is considered a "small but equally important" announcement, as Brimstone put it.
