Nebula, day 14, voice

[voidtreckermods]

Some Voidtreckers have provided feedback and suggestions. One question that occurs often is about them. The old crew, the voidtreckers who came before.

It is difficult to answer such questions. There were many and they were varied. They are gone. Find them. FIND THEM.

[There seems to be some static, all the ICPs flicker. But it's only a moment and then...]

Much of the data from before is incomplete, scrambled. Some was salvageable. The best people to learn about voidtreckers from are voidtreckers themselves.

[A series of voice clips and video clips play, one after another in a random order. Though they remain, on the train log, for people to watch later.

[ Tidus doesn't keep his eyes on the video feed the entire time; looking sideways now and then, his arms folded across his stomach. Not looking entirely happy, but more thoughtful in a less patient way.

But even so- ]

Fine, I don't mind keeping names secret. But if there's a chance we can speak to anyone about what's going on, Ministry or whoever, I don't wanna pass that up. Trust me, I haven't had the best time with higher-ups either, but we're still on a train that picks people up and does what it wants - and so far, all it's been doing is taking us on missions, and nothing else!

I don't wanna hold back 'cause of what ifs.

[wewillwewill]

[Elidibus smiles faintly.]

I would be pleased to place my considerable skill to the task of speaking with the Ministry and others. Rest assured, I want to know this story's origins as well. I will not be remiss in my efforts.

[blitzcheer]

Cool. I'm over being worried about what'll happen if we leave a trail or get found, you know? People know we're out here. If there's a real problem, well - let's find it out.

But we've got no way of doing anything, the way things are. And I'm not putting my trust in this train and what it says, or - acting like it isn't what it is, and it's a better option than anything else out there.

[ There's annoyance to that, a small flick of his chin. The train's a dumb!! ]

[wewillwewill]

[Was that amusement? Elidibus seems to express some sense of humor over Tidus's response but it also shows a sense of approval.]

A fair assessment. The train may not act with malice and it may not truly possess sentience, but I imagine it knows full well what it's doing on some level. Whatever a person's stake in this matter, no one should forget we were brought here against out wills.

[He sobers.]

I understand the impatience. But I caution you to think before each action no matter how eager. If for no more reason than there are worse prisons. Anyone capable of holding this train may well be capable of containing most of us. What you do, what any of us does may have consequences for us all.

[ It's nice to hear that acknowledgement, as obvious of one as it may be. His expression still holds a serious edge to it, but softer in some ways. Not relenting, but a more sympathetic nature coming through as he brings a fist near his chest. ]

I know. But I've been here a long time, you know? Anything we do's got a risk to it, but seeing the way the train works... we can't be afraid and sit on our hands, even if that means coming face to face with the Void Ministry. I've heard the bad stuff - that it'll take apart the train, or they're stiff, not everyone likes them - but then, let's learn more about them, right? Let's find out what we can! Let's find out their deal too!

[ He shakes his head, a small gesture. ] I'll take anyone, but at this point - the train isn't right either. We need to tell it that. If it wants help, it's got to start working with us.

[wewillwewill]

Then we shall learn more.

[Elidibus is hardly advocating for complete withdrawal. But finding out more is certainly in order and preferably in a way that doesn't stir a hornet's nest of problems for the passengers before they can get any real information.]

As for communication with the train, if you know examples of what's been tried, I'd like to hear them.

[blitzcheer]

Using the feedback post is the easy one. Some people've tried- [ he waves his hand at his head ] --magic- mind talking powers? But I never heard about it doing any better than just using the feedback post. And it never answered that way either.

[ He gives a small shrug. ] I can tell you some of the stuff I've talked to it about, but I'd say tell it everything you want to.

[wewillwewill]

I will.

[Seems simple enough! At least in execution.]

I need to look into matters. If there's anything else you think of, you know how to contact me.
