Day 19 | Video | Incoming missive

[voidtreckernpcs]

[Towards the evening of day nineteen of the month of Quicksand there is an announcement.]

Voidtreckers and Passengers of the Voidtrecker Express. We are receiving a communication attempt from the Void Ministry. Please stand by.

[The ICP screens crackle for a few moments, before it settles and a picture emerges, of a young woman sat at a desk. She looks a little bit nervous behind her professional smile.]

Greetings crew of the Voidtrecker Express. My name is Lia Nine, I am a junior minister under Commander Orlaith and she asked me to follow up on the reports that you submitted following your mission on system #5739. Thank you for those who filled them out, I know paperwork can be tedious but it does help us monitor situations.

[She moves her hands on the desk, as if she is using a computer or tablet device on her desk.]

I hope this isn't a bad time but I have around an hour if any of your crew are available to talk. There were a couple of queries your crew had so I'll go through those first.

I've got a report from a Yondu Udonta of the blue team asking about the bio fusions and what causes them. It's basically the void itself. Organic matter is not made to move through the void, that's why we have voidcraft and why anchoring takes so much mental energy. I can elaborate if anyone wants the science in more depth.

He also asked about setting your SCAs up to register Blutz waves. I've looked in my databases but can't find any energy waves called Blutz. Are they system specific?

I filled an equipment request form out on your behalf but can't promise anything. Elidibus I have also filled a book request for you for the information you seek.

Bruno Madrigal of the Blue team and Thanatos of the Red team I will happily speak to you about your requests.

Tidus I've passed your request about a communication line to the ministry on. Faux I am not sure there is anything to be concerned about regarding the alphabetical nature of the months. Most voidcraft have a simple time monitoring system that is based on what would be natural to their crew.

Faux also mentioned your craft was in need of maintenance. Do you have any details on that?

[She looked up from her tablet.] I think that's all the questions but I've got an hour if anyone has any more for me. While we're at it I wanted to ask for a report on the experiment with your tethers. We have some data from the site but I don't think anyone has actually asked you what happened yet.

[OOC: If you were planning for your character to have filled out a report for the mission and hadn't yet it is not too late. Even though Lia only has an hour IC there is no such thing as too late to this post OOCly! If you don't have time or don't wish to do an NPC thread but feel your character would say something feel free to give us a quick summary in the top level below!]

Comments

If you want, I might as well add them to my library list.

"Very well. Pharle craft. The legends of Ceiphro. Anything on the history and stories of Hyrule. Actually, anything and everything about Hyrule and Cephrio. Anything on the nature of Flaws and how that relates to our changes upon worlds as Void Trekkers. Anything known about the villian known as Papillon. Technical manuals for laptops and other small personal electronics. Any guides about Angelic Layer. Both on the technical side and the consumer side. Philosophy of the self. History of any of the worlds we have been to or will likely go to. Oh! Right. Anything on comparative linguistics and translation issues through magical translation. A specifically untranslated book from Hyrule and a translated version of the same to serve as a sort of Rosetta Stone, if possible, the same text untranslated from Ceiphro." [He considered] "As well as a copy from whatever language is natively spoken by current Void TreKkers Leia and Tidus as well as former Void Trekker Nita. Oh, I think her sister is still here. Maybe. I'm not sure, I haven't seen her recently. Still it would be good to have, I suspect. Actually, it might be of use to have it for every Void Trekker, just to be safe, so we can better learn how to spell in each other's languages. A grammar guide for Hyrule, for Ceiphro, and for Earth English. Presuming Earth is an actual real place and not a Storm given fever dream. Oh, any books on how to transfer visual memories to physical pages could be of use. I am certain that I could come up with more useful topics if you give me a few moments. Oh, yes! I had also been researching emotional vocabulary, and could use more references for that project."

"Right."

She's writing it all down at least. "I'll see what I can do."

She's going to make some librarian cry. Or ascend into a higher state of librarian geekery, one or the other.

"Wonderful, I thank you. If there is anything more we can do to help the train or each other, please let us know. And if there is some way we can be in regular contact, that would be of use."

[voidtreckernpcs]

I'll let you know. I will work on the communication thing too, we need to set up some kind of communication line.

[guru_clef]

"We do! If there is any way in which we can help with that, feel free to let us know. Oh, and if you need me specifically, your best chance is to find either Leia, or my son - Link. I rarely am aware of incoming communications, but they both are more attentive to such things."

[voidtreckernpcs]

Okay. I will note that down. Thank you and I'll get back to you when I have more information.

[guru_clef]

"Very much appreciated."
