{VOICE OTA}
[Today you feel a few strange pulses in your signets before you hear anything over Qri's network. It's fairly pleasant, exactly as the signet communications tend to be, and fortunately doesn't at all resemble the strange fluctuations that plagued everyone back on days 103-105. It's more like someone poking at the network to be sure it's stable and not going to do any more of that before they speak. They seem to conclude it's safe after all.]
Hello? Oh, hi-- hi, everybody. It's Geir. If you don't know me, I'm the dragon.
[He's very matter of fact about it. He's the dragon. You're probably aware, his tone seems to say.]
Listen, I don't actually care if you know me, you should just help me and Nines out! He knows all kinds of technology things, so I asked him what we could find out about the Hub with them. But the question is really, what does everyone want to find out? There's been a lot of weird to chew on!
Chew...on? [9S echoes this thought quizzically, for an instant quite distracted. But right, right, the matter at hand—] Er, anyway, like Geir said we’re lacking data on our surroundings. And to know what we’re dealing with, gathering more would be best, so I was thinking I can probably scrape enough parts together to build a pod for that job, once we know what kind of information it should collect. I mean, unless we want everything...
[Geir's tone is still bright and interested. he loves hearing about this, even if part of him is still skeptical.]
Nines isn't even the only person who knows how to build... robots. I know a bunch of you build stuff. Who wants to help?
[9S clears his throat, quietly tacking a little disclaimer on:]
...Not that pods should be mistaken for machines or anything.
[When your kind’s fought machines for millennia certain lines get drawn. Thin, confusing grey lines. (Geir doesn’t know what to say to that, so he just lets it stand.)]
((both 9S and Geir may reply to your toplevels, and also feel free to jump each other! this is the start of a player plot to get a little more technology on the island. ♥ more details here!))

[it never even occurred to Geir that some people are being brought to the coven from other points in time as well as other points in space. is that true, or did Kosuzu just mean that as an expression he doesn't know...?]

[Geir can't even begin to get his head around the implications of that all at once, so he doesn't try. the past influencing the future is a chain of causality he's very accustomed to, but the future returning to influence the past...
that's not out of the realm of prophecy, and he can sort of see how it might work, but he does not feel up to sorting through all the things it could mean right at this moment.]
I'll-- I'll ask Nines if there's a way to tell that.

Does anyone have powers like that? I know that people who know how to travel between worlds are here.

...Then again, Yukari can probably go to all kinds of different worlds, so now I don't know which is weirder...

[Geir thinks long and hard about the request from the point of view of something collecting data. what could an outside observer use as an indicator about what happened here, without access to any oral history or other stories about whatever drove people out? he remembers a conversation he had with that one boy, Sorey, about ruins...]
...maybe Nines' pod could at least tell us about any abandoned human buildings on the island that we haven't found yet. That could be our first clue about history.
