What? Okay, okayokayokay...

[ There's some frustrated sounds that may or may not get translated here, a brain not trying to trip over itself in attempting to actually think. ]

Easy questions. Which tether are we? The 3, or the 2? What's up with peoples' bodies. I mean, some of us are dead, right? But what about the people with bodies? Are they back home? On the train?

[ ...he tried to keep it simple, okay. ]

[voidtreckermods]

Do you believe yourself capable of all of those tasks, voidtrecker Yondu?

The last holiday that any Thistean crew observed was the Day of the Cracked Branch.

[voidtreckermods]

Three way tethers have been attempted with all passengers, for those are the settings of the Voidcraft designation Voidtrecker Express.

[blitzcheer]

[ Okay- okay?? ]

Even me? I'm back in Spira and here?

[yondu]

Oh hell no. But I think some other people on this train can.

Was Day of the Cracked Branch celebrated on other worlds?

[flatteries]

Why not

[ Sure, he saw all of the information. Stuff about the train being comparable to.. a whole lot he didn't necessarily understand, being from a medieval-style world. But that still means that the intent to drag people in must've come from somewhere. ]

What gave you the idea that you must do this even if it hurts people

Sometime after Osiga, around the time of Jake's network video.

Good afternoon, Voidtrecker Express. I would like to have a talk with you when you're available. If not now then contact me.

The subjects I wish to speak about are the nature of voidspace and tethering. In particular I want permission to study the workings of the latter, preferably with your assistance. Of the former, I suspect I need a better understanding of voidspace to truly understand the applications so it seems it would go hand in hand.

For all it seems the Ministry does wish to assist us, I'm still reluctant to place ourselves entirely in their hand. If there's alternatives you're aware of or you're unable to render assistance, pray let me know.

Ah yes. Would you be willing to open the dressing carriage for winter gear once again? I will be seeking to arrange for the rock garden to have snowfall that the passengers may enjoy it.

[voidtreckermods]

Some on Enrara observed it also.

[voidtreckermods]

It is not something I have control over. I bring heroes. That is my task.

[voidtreckermods]

I have no knowledge of the state of you non travelling selves, it is not something I can sense.

[voidtreckermods]

If you have questions you may ask them. It might take me a while to compile answers to make sure the information is correct and suitable but answers will be given.

The dressing carriage will be opened for you.

[blitzcheer]

Ughhhhhhhh.

[ Behold the text box, putting to text Tidus's groans. ]

Alright, alright... fine. [ There's a long before, until Tidus sighs- ] If the Ministry can help... or whoever, I don't care where- anywhere we can maybe... do something about the tethers. Refresh them? Can we do that? --it'd help.

If you ask that Tennack or Anan for help - whoever. We can't let people keep disappearing. That makes sense to you, right?

[ There's a pause, and he's about to submit, but he will begrudgingly add: ]

Thanks for answering. With real answers. This helps.

[voidtreckermods]

The crew of this voidcraft have decided to engage with the ministry and they believe they can help. Keeping people tethered would be preferable. If it was known how to refresh the tethers or strengthen them then this voidcraft would have done so already.

[blitzcheer]

Okay, but you don't know how to do that, right? What about them? And what about the fact they can check on our planets?

Can't they look for the people who disappeared? You have their numbers. You gave me Yuna's!

[voidtreckermods]

What the ministry can do with tethers is not known to this craft.

I have their numbers.

[blitzcheer]

Can you ask them if they think they can help? [ Or, more importantly- ] Would you?

And pass the numbers onto them too. If you wanna ask everyone what they think first - then do that. Or I'll do it if it's easier. But I know they're checking on places - Inigo told me they found Yuki's planet. Thanatos said that rep asked people to come see them.

They can't do anything with just a bunch of numbers, can they? [ A beat. ] Anything bad.

[voidtreckermods]

That is something that must be assessed for risk.

[wewillwewill]

Thank you.

First on the matter of voidspace. Since applications exist to resist its influence, it must be studied to some extent. The video footage of your former crew even suggests such. The capacity to work with it... or with its presence. I seek knowledge on how to further my understanding while at the same time not bringing risk to my fellow passengers.

On the matter of tethers, I'd like to first say I'm not a stranger to the theory or practice. The power you bring to bear and the distance and realities through which you can sustain those whose souls remain connected to their bodies would be far beyond what any one of my kind would be capable of alone. Yet I'm no stranger to such techniques.

I'd like to work with you in hopes of learning how to better read and understand these connections and the techniques used within voidspace to maintain them. How my own skills would fare.

[There is a short pause.]

Like myself I know several are here without a body to return to. Or that even if it remains, their connection to it is severed. For all intents, they would be dead and naught more than souls drawn to return to the flow of aether. If these tethers are in uncertain flux or if you become impaired, there is a strong possibility I can sustain them.

[Particularly if he had more knowledge of how such things are maintained through voidspace. What's left unspoken is there would only be so much he can do for those whose souls are still tethered to their bodies. Nevertheless he seems sincere.]

Perhaps even pursue the mystery of what happens to those souls ere they depart at the stations.

[blitzcheer]

[ Uggghh. Risk. ]

Don't take too long. Even if we only give a few, or - you leave it up to us to decide.

[ If they have to agree to the risks. The consequences. ]

We trust you to run when you need to. ...at least, I do. If we need to get close to danger, then sometimes, you can't help it. It's worth it.

poi 01; voice to text

[blitzcheer]

Okay, seeing all the stuff people asked for? Kinda cool. I don't mind the new voting system.

[ Wow is Tidus satisfied with the train for onc-- ] But a hundred votes for the clocks?! You know we added clocks to some of the cars already, right? In a kitchen, dining, sports, standard, and a library? A hundred votes've gotta be... I dunno... how many points is that?!

[ He can't do maths on the spot, he's too busy being bulldozed by the price of clocks! ]

Is telling the time really nearly as much as making everyone zwip to a car at the other end than where you were?

What if you put times on the SCAs? Can you do that? Would that be cheaper?

[ Is he pleading with the train, is it pleading time. Awww maaann. ]

[voidtreckermods]

[ A moment later a text box pops up on the screen. ]

The Voidtrecker Express listens. Your voice was heard.

[ The text box and Tidus' message both fade from the screen. ]

[voidtreckermods]

I shall seek information to share with you, though there is much information already been shared. If you believe you can help then it is certain your fellow voidtreckers will thank you.

The question of those without bodies is a pertinent one. I seek answers on that. Everyone wishes to know the fate of those departed.

[voidtreckermods]

[ A moment later a text box pops up on the screen. ]

The Voidtrecker Express listens. Your voice was heard.

[ The text box and Tidus's message both fade from the screen. ]

[blitzcheer]

You better listen! That's five clocks already!

Pah. Bye.

[ For whatever amount it matters, it's more of a huffy 'last get the word in', than anything actually angry.

(but he is grumpy) ]

[wewillwewill]

I assure you the information we've already been given is appreciated and I'm taking the time to go over it.

[But a lot of the information on the workings and knowledge of the connections is a layman's overview or perhaps even lays in the hands of individuals. It doesn't get into details. There's also a thin smile and dry expression when the Voidtrecker Express mentions the others' appreciation.]

Hm, I wonder. I suspect many would be more troubled about what I could do to them than appreciate what I would do for them. No matter. How aware are you of the tether's condition? Does it appear to be working as intended?

Also, will you give me permission to extend my senses to my own so that I may study how I am connected to you? I would not wish it to be construed as an attack. Much less be overwhelmed by delving too deep without adequate preparation.
