[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!))

[SUP KIDS IT’S TELEPATHY. The telepathy is a monotonous voice, possibly familiar, possibly not. But he has a specific group of people in mind.]

Okay, so it’s showtime on blue fish person invasion in less than twenty-four hours. Those of you who went to the earlier meeting know the plan and can check in with me or Jay to clarify anything. This message is for the new group of people that Qri decided to summon only two days before a predicted attack, in a tactical move so genius it remains obscure even now. Plus for anyone who missed the last memo.

The Uvi are blue fish people from the ocean above. They’re going to attack and either abduct or kill our cool lizard bros the Palai. The Palai plan on hiding and don’t expect to get anywhere with this, but we’re going to be setting out lookouts to spot the Uvi coming in and ground teams to engage with the enemy and defend the Palai. Then we plan to send a recon team to pursue them back to their base.

Me and Jay [a brief telepathic image of them both for your identifying pleasure] are going to be in the coven house finalizing things today. We're there if you want a position or need more info.

[ooc: The defence plan is here, sign-ups are this way! There are sections for questions, and if you need anything else, you can also contact me by PM/mobiusloops or Ink (Jay’s player) at rebells/prospit for anything else ooc-wise!]
