Bassoon Day 1 - Video, open

[enthunder]

Hey, the 'Voidtrecker' books I ordered arrived today, if anyone wants to read them.

[ she holds up a comic book and flicks through it so you can see panels where characters in familiar hoodies are featured: a woman in purple warning a classroom to evacuate, various characters in red hoodies fighting robots, blue emerging from crumbling buildings with children in their arms, orange rescuing a group of civilians from a crashed shuttle. ]

This one's an educational comic for kids. Tells 'em that when we arrive, it's because their world is in danger from something they can't deal with.

The other's a diary from someone who travelled in the Void a different way. It mentions Ciyesia - uh, the world some of us were sent to for training - so it might have some truth to it. It gets really into describing plants, so you might like it, Sarai?

... Anyway, I'll leave them in the main car.

[It seems to him that the tendency of so-called Higher Powers being a bunch of pretentious, self-righteous jerks goes beyond Arda. Feanor hates being right at times like this. Whoever is responsible for the very fact they are on this train at all must have something to do with that propaganda. Either directly or not. He'll have to look at those books. Children stories can contain a surprising amount of truth hidden in them. Once you strip away all the make-believe of course.]

I wasn't here when you visited that world, Ciyesia, but now I wonder did you get instructions on what to do when you arrived there?

[Tony mentioned once they helped the natives but that's as much information as he has.]

[ That was her thought, too. She nods, thinking back. ]

An alert went up on the information screens before we arrived for 'training mission number forty-three'. Basic stuff about the world, where we'd be landing, what we needed to do, when we'd be picked up. Tasks split up into the four colours, estimates for how long we'd need for each task.

Any information on what would happen if you failed to do what the message said? Or tried to remain on the train instead of going?

[Because he's not the one to obey just because someone says he should.]
