[Video] Voidtrecker's history
From: Storage.
To: All train.
[Fëanor has changed into regular Voidtrecker uniform but somehow it doesn't make him look less regal when he starts his address.]
Fellow Voidtreckers!
This Fëanor. I need to speak to all of you on the matter that is both dire and urgent. Each platform leaves us with our numbers growing and diminishing at the same time. Each time some come and some go. And yet we have no record of it. No way of remembering those that were here once but are no longer.
[Fëanor pauses, he looks straight into the camera for a few moments before continuing.]
I say we change that.
I say it matters that we are here.
I say it mattered that those that left were here too. They made a difference, they deserve being remembered. So do we.
We know there were Voidtreckers before us and yet there is no trace of them besides one personal log with no context. As if they never existed.
I say We deserve better.
It’s not even difficult. All we need is will and a little effort. We have a working printer and at least one working camera. We can take pictures of everyone who is on the train now. We have artists who can draw those that are no longer here. We can write their names and their stories so they won’t be lost to obscurity.

voice from cabin 4:D
[His voice is soft, thoughtful. He has been thinking of this a lot, the loss of those on the train. Seeing Wen Qing deal with her brother leaving... It had made him want to think of a way to help her.]
I can draw... I'm no great artist, but I am happy to draw those on the train and... I can probably draw some of those already gone if I met them...
no subject
[They have no way of knowing where those that leave go. At least not yet. Maybe they're better off leaving. Maybe. It doesn't change much for those that stay, does not make them feel less bereft... does not make him less...
Isn't he an absolute master in framing his personal problems as general causes for all? It was never about other people. It was always about Maedhros and Maglor leaving. And how sudden their disappearance was.]
I don't think we have to limit ourselves to drawings or photos. I don't have any structure in mind. I think it would be best to let it grow organically. So if you feel more comfortable with writing than drawing then I think stories would be as good.
no subject
[He's only ever written as assignments in school. He wouldn't know where to start.]
It is a good idea... I can try and start some drawings... Um... If that's alright...
