Grasshopper 30, Video to Everywhere from Standard, 'Afternoon'

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Sometime after lunch, the day before the next platform stop, Nita makes her next appearance on the Network.

Hey, this could become a regular thing...!]

Nita Callahan with Orange Team, here, and I just want to say: if you didn't have to deal with sharing memories while we were on Jema'grethy, you got off easy.

[Have a wry momentary glance, train.]

That said, if you weren't dealing with that, and didn't climb the mountain, there's some important things you'll want to be clued in on. And by 'important' I mean 'important to how and why the Voidtrecker Express got all kinds of screwed up.'

[So... that's a thing.]

I've got transcripts of the memories Enna, Minako, and I received, if you'd rather not experience the memories themselves. Either come see me or Eva if you want those transcripts, or just me if you want a direct memory transfer.

Those who've already seen the memories - what do you think of them, so far? It may sound kind of 'after the fact,' but how are you doing? There were some real heavy matters brought up in them, and if they're at all relevant to what we're going to be dealing with, we'll need to pull ourselves together fast.

That aside: keep what Senku and Ai said in mind when making purchases when our points roll around; one thing you can never have enough of is supplies, and it never hurts to be overprepared.

And that's what we're gonna have to be. Call it instinct, or intuition, or whatever, but it wouldn't be my first time, and I'm pretty sure that applies to a lot of you too.

Take care of each other. Nita, out.

Nita, I did climb the mountain, but I only received the third memory that belonged to my memory share partner.

I'd like to see that transcript of the memories Enna, Minako, and you received. Or maybe I'll go for the direct memory transfer.

You seem to be implying that you received information that we all need to know because it relates to the Voidtrecker Express and our future. Is that the case? Or am I misunderstanding you?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita's expression is grim; Curufin's hit it right on the money whether he knows it or not.]

I can get you both; come on down to the Standard Coach and I'll get you set, okay?

And no, you didn't misunderstand.

[so_dark_a_road]

All right, I'll be there in two minutes!

[ He's there in one. He walks up the isle of the Standard Coach and comes to Nita. ]

Okay, where do we start?

/finally tags one of your characters

[thiefmaster]

[ Well, this gets his attention pretty fast. ]

I kinda missed that climb, what information did you come by?

/CHOMPS ON TAG also presumably video

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita's serious for her part, as well.]

Confirmation that we weren't the first Voidtreckers on this train - and that this train had a homeworld.

As for the rest... it might be best if you come see the transcripts, at least. It's not so much controversial as it is just plain unnerving.

Something you'd need to sit down while processing, if you know what I mean?

Video it is

[thiefmaster]

Where are you? I can come meet you.

"You have memories from the train? I was a bit busy with my own memory stuff, so I must have missed that when it happened. I wouldn't mind seeing them now, though."

[You can bet she's going to stick her nose into this, it's what she does.]

Re: Video

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita confirms with a nod.]

Come on down to Standard and you can read up on them. Or experience them, if you want a better look that way.

Video + Action

[tactlesstantei]

"I'm coming now, then."

[It's not long before Masumi shows up, quickly making her way to where Nita was sitting.]

"Alright, I'm here. You said something about 'experiencing' them instead of just going over transcripts?"

[ Wen Qing has been keeping to herself these past weeks but that's enough to catch her attention. ]

Are you well, Nita? I'd like to take a look at your recordings but it doesn't have to be right now.

Re: video

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita musters up a smile, seeing as she is more well-rested by this part of the month.]

I can come by the medbay if you'd like. I'll bring the transcripts, too, though they'll take more time to read.

[And she knows Wen Qing tends to keep herself busy...]

[wisdominshadows]

Can you infuse the memories in an object? Ideally, something which could be held in common?

[In case Nita- or any of the others who have direct experience- leaves. So there's more than a transcript for anyone who follows.]

Assuming Zelda got the memories on the mountain? Or did you want her to get them here?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods.]

Already sent my sister both versions already; she'll be installing a 'live' version on the computer she got for Standard, I don't doubt that.

... It's not as if we can install it as a program for the ICPs directly, I don't think.

[Text posts were manageable; turning it into a train log post? Somehow that feels a step too far to Nita.]

[mtsilver_conquor]

I think you're right; we need to pull together and fast. The same with supplies. It's nice to have things from home, but what we need is... supplies. Things that'll help us.

[Does she likes this, not really, but at the same time, her needs are secondary to Orange's - the Train's.]

[Voice]

[unfavorableinstigation]

Preaching to the choir, there. But yeah; it's not just stuff from futuristic worlds that could be of help, either. Anything can be a tool for survival if you're in the right mindset - or if someone else's life is the one at stake.

[Are they self-sacrificial people? ... Yes, yes they are.]

[Video]

[callmegladio]

Missed out on that extra memory.

You got a cliff notes version?

Re: [Video]

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita gestures to the small stack of papers across from her on the table, then holds out her hand.]

Pick your poison: you can either witness-slash-experience them for yourself, or literally read them and have things less... immediate.

Up to you which suits better, though.

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Kitty had noticed something going on with her roommates, but she hadn't had a chance to really ask about it. ]

Hey, Nita. I'd climbed up the mountain too, but I didn't see any other memories besides the one who also saw mine.

What happened?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods; Kitty must have missed Enna's speech, then.]

We - Minako, Enna and I - ended up with memories from the train, and mine in particular showed previous Voidtreckers on a mission.

It's-

It's probably best if you come down here.

[And she'll have to talk with Samata as well, both about the memories and the bond itself.]

I can show you the memories directly, or the transcript if you'd prefer that.

video, ofc. Even if the bird barely understands how to

[runicfeathers]

I climbed the mountain, but, I only saw my partner's memories and nothing else. I do not like to be out of the loop on what sounds important.. I would like to see these memories of which you speak, as clearly as possible if possible.

video!!

[unfavorableinstigation]

Of course.

Have you been to the Standard Coach yet, then? I'm by the library.

[They may or may not have seen each other before, but Nita would be surprised if this person hasn't been in here yet.]

And- what's your name? I don't believe we've talked before.

Video

[laurefindil]

I was on the Mountain, I saw the memories.

Two. [He's Purple and a Purple Lead.] That...I now understand why the Train pulled us and ran at that stop just shortly after my arrival.

I would be very interested in talk to you and any others about the various questions this raises, and the questions it answers.

Giving permission for threadjacking here! For on-Network talks.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Of course; did you want to stop by Standard and chat now? Because it definitely makes a lot more questions than it answers.

[everylittlesecret]

As someone who's had memories messed with before, I am so damn glad to report I ain't had that happen to me.

[Nari doesn't have a lot of nice memories. She considers this a blessing.]

I think I'll say no thanks to memory transcripts or transfers.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita nods solemnly.]

No problem. We did learn more about the behavior patterns of those shadow creatures; apparently they destroy worlds, and I'm not sure when we'll have to deal with those again.

[Nari may or may not have been here for that aborted mission.]
