[ Now that a few days have already passed, there's not much point in moping quietly and ignoring the network for much longer. Hopefully things have settled down a bit by now... ]

It looks like people are already organizing a few missions of their own, which is all fine and good, but we need to look beyond supplies for the short term. Our new headquarters isn't fit for holding this many people, for who knows how long, so aside from supplies, I think we need to put an effort towards fixing that as soon as we can.

First and foremost, we need more power.

Especially if we want to get that Aristeas contraption back up and running. Obviously we don't have the tools and resources to fix that here and now, but I'm sure I can work out a few points in time where we can slip in and change how this place gets built. What I really need is anyone who can help out with the technical side of this, or even to lend a hand with the research, and a few volunteers to run around playing time tag. We're going to need to get our hands on and change blueprints and data and who knows what else.

[ Basically, a call for help. He might be in over his head on this one, with how much tech is going to be involved. That all rambled out, there's a small, awkward pause before he adds: ]

And hello to all the new Transports, I guess. When I first got stuck here, Exsilium had just gotten itself trashed by an army of monsters, but this arrival sure tops that one as the new worst entrance of all.

and that is?

( what do you think she's going to say caesar, really )

What do you think?

Right. I only just arrived recently, but from what I've heard, it's been very similar. [ She pauses, thoughtful. ] I think the paradox effects might've been... unique to our situation back home. [ Ridiculously dressed villain screwing things up, you know the drill. ]

Still, I'm happy to do what I can. My name's Serah Farron, by the way.

[ he can't tell over TEXT, it's TEXT! ]

say please?

( and yet he gets it anyway! oh my! )

Yep! You got it!

Too many different people fighting for limited resources, so yes, I can see why as well. We can hope it won't come to that, but I figure not having to worry about our limited power supply will definitely go towards alleviating some of that.

That might depend on how you mean paradox. [ Though having one poorly dressed villain to blame would make it so much less confusing! ] I've tried reading about them before, but a lot of it is only in stories, nothing really factual yet.

[ Therefore not helpful, looking at weird classic Earth literature. ]

Anyway, the name's Caesar. I would say it's nice to meet you, Serah, but this situation is about the opposite of nice.

[ That's all? ]

finally, a promise from you without needing some kind of long-winded conversation or verbal contract. who'd have thought we'd ever see this day.

You're so silly! Anyway, let me know what kinds, and when you want to meet there.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah. Are you going to send everything electronically? [he's too used to delving in dusty scrolls and stuff like that gross]

green or herbal. i need to send stuff out before i head off to do anything else, though, so give me an hour or two.

And the other two so far are Max Kearney and Billy Cranston, so feel free to get in touch with them yourself, if you'd like.

[ You and him both, owl guy. You and him both. ]

You got it. It'll all be sent directly to your tablet, though don't be surprised if it comes from the AI and not me.

I'll bring both! Meet you there later!

( Mostly it means she takes time getting ready and stops by the restroom in her meandering course to the cafeteria some hour and a half later. Arriving and not seeing him offhand leads her to the kitchens, to work on securing what she needs to make just the right, safe to use amount of water for their tea. If she seems him first, she'll wave and gesture to herself, then toward the cupboards and cabinets with the mugs. )

Alright, thanks. [let's jive with the modern times yeaaah] Could I ask you who the other members of the research team are?

At any rate, count me in.

The everything problem, really, but I'm willing to start there. You're right in thinking that once we stabilize that, we can worry about the rest. Well, that and food.

Not yet. What needs to be done?

yeah that guy
will do thanks

May as well, even if they're trying to kill everyone.

[She mulls over the first part of the message, and rather than address it all directly she simply files the information away to dwell on at a later date.]

At your leisure, then. I have few obligations at present.

[ And she does see him first! As he shambles on in, his tablet and some writing materials shoved under one arm. Shambles, as in tiredly dragging himself around. The waving is duly noted, at least, rather than ignored.

What does she want him to do...?

Assuming whatever it is happens to involve the cupboards she's waving towards, he turns to wander that way and, upon opening the cupboard he finds...! Oh. Mugs. Caesar heaves a sigh and takes two down, one by one, then shuffles what's already in his arms around so he can carry both. ]

And here I was expecting a hot cup of tea already waiting for me. What a letdown.

got it. i'll keep you updated.

The everything problem comes next.

[ Hopefully. For once he's actually at a loss for that one... ]

The first thing that needs to be done is finding names, times, and places that we could alter, leaving us with a better generator for the base up here. Once we have those, I'll put together what needs to get done. Then you and whoever else is going hops back in time, makes the change, then comes right back to help monitor what we've just messed with.

If the first change proves effective, we space out the remaining upgrades for it over other time periods.

That's kind of how all missions run, although these ones shouldn't see too much action.

[ That is to say: danger. ]

Considering I don't think we'll ever see them all dead, I think I'll stick with being a thankless thorn in their side.
