[ 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.

Yeah. That's about all I'm really good at, so I'll do whatever I can to help on that front.

Considering I'm pretty sure most of our old research team was obliterated, it's not a bad skill to have right now.

What do you need done? I'm not a scientist; I never even graduated high school, but if you have any set of instructions on how to use something I can probably figure it out.

Not the kind of research I mean. [ He has to outsource complicated science things, too, but that's where the engineers come in. ] I need people who can go through a lot of historical texts and take notes of names, dates, when important events happened during the World Space Program and whatever else might've been connected to it.

So basically, I just need a lot of people reading about space travel.

Oh.

Yeah, I can do that. It might take some time, but as far as I know I've got plenty of that. While I'm at it, I can try to find information on other research on space or energy so we have material on that. Even if knew about space travel, we'd have to know about generating power, right?

I'm hoping the more techy people will take care of that part, but it won't hurt. I know the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering has already been mentioned by someone, so perhaps check if that name comes up anywhere.

Got it.

Is there anything else that needs to be done? It looks like you've got a good number of volunteers so far.

Besides tons of reading? People out in the field, engineers, but yeah, it does seem I have a few people chipping in for all the different roles I need covered.

That's pretty good, then. All right, I'll read whatever I can get my hands on and send anything I find to you -- Caesar Silverberg, right?

Yes, that's right, and you're Shintaro?

[ Shin? Shintaro? Shintaro Kisaragi? Something like that. ]

Yup. I'm the only one on the list with that name, so it shouldn't be hard to find it.

Talk to you soon, then?

Sure. Until then.
