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.

[ ...

Shyly: ]

Um, is.. is it okay for me to talk about it now..?

[ She can't help but get shy again when so many people are suddenly talking! Especially since now she's wondering if they were asking the other person about it, since they answered.. ]

[tactlesstantei]

Oh, sorry. Go ahead. The more info we have, the better.

[happyends]

A-ah, thank you so much..!

[ Madoka quickly nods, like she's kind of bowing, and also looking relieved that she wasn't wrong that it was okay for her to talk about it..! ]

They didn't do all that much though.. people from the ministry boarded the train, and they checked everyone's tickets. They basically read the information on them back to us, and made us confirm that it was correct.. They didn't try to hurt us or do anything bad to us at all, even though they looked a little odd.

Two of us even went along with them to the ministry, to.. um, I think they submitted a form there about how we were taken here from our own worlds.. so the ministry has already known about our situation for a long time now.

[ Yet they haven't been hunted down, so that's.. good, right? Madoka thinks it must mean maybe things aren't as bad as that 'rogue voidcraft' moment made it seem. ]

[pleple]

I've been wondering if we should suck up the risk of working with them, or if they really will somehow impede us and make the situation worse.

[ Ple Two doesn't trust them, especially, but she doesn't have any strong reason to distrust them - and they ought to have resources, right? ]

[blitzcheer]

At this point, I'd work with anyone who'll actually get us somewhere with what's going on. The world destroying stuff, the train - not a lot's changed since I've been here.

It's not like we know anyone else to get a hold of, either. 'Cept A.

[ And even she worked for them. Technically. ]

[happyends]

I guess Tidus does kind of have a point.. it's not like a whole lot has changed since we first showed up here, right..?

[ Which makes her so glad Ple Two spoke up too. If anyone knows what it's been like over such a long time, it's the girl who's been right here with Madoka all this time, right? ]

Maybe it'll be okay as long as we're really careful about it..? [ Because it is kind of nerve-inducing to even consider doing something so new, honestly. ]

[tactlesstantei]

[Masumi sighs, thinking.]

It’s true that nothing has happened to us yet, even after meeting Anan several times. And I want to be able to work with others on everything going on here. Outside help would be great.

But on the other hand, there has to be a reason the train thinks we’ll be arrested if we’re caught, and I don’t want to risk that happening. I’d say the best thing to do would be to try and be careful when seeking help and try not to mention what voidcraft we’re with if possible, just in case.

[happyends]

D-don't worry, I always try my best to be careful..!

[ Emphasis on try, but thankfully Madoka is very genuine about it. ]

I don't want anything bad to happen to everyone here either..

[blitzcheer]

Sure, but the reason's pretty obvious why it thinks we'd get arrested - 'cause it's riding around and kidnapping people, and doing stuff it shouldn't be. Being on this mission's what's important to the train.

I'm not gonna go around saying we're with the Voidtrecker Express if it's pointless, but what if there's a chance it'll help? 'Specially finding people from that Enranara planet.

[happyends]

[ .. help, Madoka is an impressionable young girl. Who definitely starts to feel conflicted the moment she is being shown different opinions.

Which is why she meeky speaks up again with: ]

Um.. so should we, or should we not be careful..?

[ She doesn't know anymore now!! ]

[hotheadwarmheart]

I dunno... the train's not the only one who said we'd be in trouble if the Void ministry caught up with us. And while I'm sure that there's plenty of people who work for them who are cool, like Anan, it's the guys in charge we've really got to worry about.

I'm not saying it's something we shouldn't even consider. But before we do anything major, we have to know that all- or at least most- of the people on board are OK with it. Because if we try to make a deal with the Void Ministry as a whole and it backfires, we could all be screwed.

[blitzcheer]

How likely is it we're gonna get an offer to work with the ministry anyway? [ That sounds... out there. ]

But, well, I'm fine with a vote... but all I think is we need to stop being scared about what could happen. We need answers. If that means meeting with the ministry, then fine! We all wouldn't have to go, would we?

[ ...Do they have some big base somewhere??? Probably. ]

Anyway- we should be careful, and have back-up plans. We just need to...pick and choose what we say and when!

[happyends]

.. yeah, I.. I don't want us to end up in danger, but I also kind of hope it's a way for us to learn more, or maybe even find a way home..

[ The latter of which Madoka is particularly worried about, and it shows in her tone. ]

Some of us have been away from home for way too long now, without anything changing..

[hotheadwarmheart]

Not to work with them necessarily, but... well they're the experts when it comes to all things Void; it's kinda in their name. If anyone knows how to get us home, it's probably them. I'm just not sure I'd trust them to actually do it if it ever came up, you know? At least not the guys in charge.

[Anan and people on her level were one thing. But the ones with actual power, the ones with a great deal to potentially lose if the status-quo was shaken up too much? Those people he had a hard time trusting.]

But you're both right. We do need to solve this mystery, and we don need to find a way back home. And that's not gonna happen if things keep going the way they've been.
