[As a mission should be coming up, he should say something about this. Or at least put this out there so that if something happens to him there'll still be people willing to leave and keep this information. Have people know that they're not lost yet.]
This is Yondu Udonta with Blue Team. I know this whole tetherin' information threw us for a loop. And it's hard for us to pull our heads together right now. But soon we'll have a mission and for the most part I figure when some of y'all have a focus it'll help. For others it might be a little harder.
I asked the train if the original crew had any abilities like ours, and she said no. I asked her if I'd be correct in assumin' that it was significant that we got a history of changin' worlds. Buildin' 'em, destroyin' 'em, savin' 'em. She said yeah. We got experience and skills and resourcefulness that don't just extend to savin' worlds but I would wager would extend to savin' ourselves. But sometimes even people with as many credentials as we got gotta reach out for help.
I cain't offer much help in the way of the short term sense but I can say thinkin' long term, if people pitch in and keep searchin' for a solution then we'll all end up figurin' somethin' out. Even the people we seen wander off already will end whole and livin' the way they need to be. And if we end up walkin' off into the fog, the inertia from what gets started'll carry us and whoever comes after can finish what we started. And if the Ministry ends up fuckin' us over, then I believe the lot of us got the skills to do it our damn selves if we need to. [Even if that takes longer.] We got time travellers. People that can make whole ass bodies. People that can raise the dead or find items that'll do it for 'em. People that can heal situationally unfortunate individuals back from nigh on the worst-case scenario.
Sayin' this now 'cause I don't want anyone goin' out an' fightin' with an empty heart. At the very least ya need a real solid possibility of gettin' what you want in mind. Because more'n likely there'll be a fight durin' this mission.
I told Anan we'd leave 'em information on who was tethered and who was gone. So if you got a spare moment before next platform? [Which this train can have a hell of a lot of downtime so quite possibly.] If you left and came back, if you've flickered out and came back. If you've witnessed someone leave, write it out, put it in somethin' weatherproof, leave it on the platform where the Ministry can find it when they come through to the liminal stations. We can keep a copy of it here for own minds. Just don't let it hold ya back when somethin's comin' at ya. Know you can still do somethin'.

So I'm gonna get a little crass here, but think about this. Not ever'body grows from the same kinda place, which you know that. I've been around the block, worked with a bunch of people. Worked for a bunch of people. I had a teammate who didn't really get nothin' out of nobody huggin' 'im 'cause his species was made of crystal. It was like huggin' stone. But he'd still pat and be personable with his friends. He just would never get why we liked it, he'd just do it. Or like how you kiss a Skrull. They don't really use their mouths... They just kinda bump their foreheads and noses together. But to them? Feels the same as a kiss. And even I got stuff that feels differen't from y'all. Wanna bargain with an inorganic AI? You gotta gear for a statistical special interest of some kind.
And that's little alien differences. The train's definitely got her a mind. So it's somewhere between a machine bein' meant to perform a task, and a livin' bein' meant to keep us and whoever rigged her up happy. So if she's divertin' our questions, sometimes you gotta sit and think 'what would a train want out of it', not what a person would. She knows we're in danger, she needs an operating crew, she needs us to be reliable an' informed, and that cain't happen if we're always in flux.
[So she's holding some stuff back, for sure, but some of it is... well, he doesn't know if it's her choice.]

[She pauses for a moment, then grins.]
You're rather eloquent today.

The most solid kinda hope I got in me is for other people makin' it, whether their stories at home are over or not. [He's hopeless himself. He doesn't get a happy ending. But everyone else? One can be made for them.] And you don't go into a fight without seein' gains ahead.
Speakin' of fightin', I had a question for ya if you was interested.
no subject
Hm? What question is that?

The sorcerer I was on a team with used a particular sort that was book lernt and I thought maybe it might suit ya, even if it took a while to learn it.

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try, if nothing else.

I don't have that Gift. No one in Valdemar does, and hasn't for more than 200 years. It died with Vanyel. Although we are finding now that it has survived in other places. We could use a Mage or two. I just never considered it something that was possible to learn.

It just takes more dedication than what I got.

If you'll allow me, I'd like to take a look.
