[ PRIVATE to LILY ]

Hey, I got you the scarf while I was away.


[ PRIVATE to ELLIE & DICK ]

[ The messages are sent to their tablets separately: ]

Got you something.


[ Her voice, while somewhat tired, is leveled as she speaks. ]

For the time being, the clinic should be stocked with some personal hygienic products anyone might have been wondering about. There's shampoos, soaps, sanitary napkins, and pads and tampons for the ladies. There's also patches for smokers. Anything else you're looking for, like medicine or bandages, you'll have to check with someone at the clinic.

Anyway, I asked the AI the decrypt a couple of drives belonging to the UE. There were various analytical notes specializing in robotics, specifically robotic spacecraft — rovers. For those unfamiliar: a rover is a vehicle used in space explorations. Depending on the design, they can either be partially or completely operated on their own, or they can transport crews.

There's a couple of bad ideas that come to mind knowing this information: one being they may have plans to come up here eventually and if they aren't fully aware how many of us are here, they'll find out.

Research also indicated "interdimensional colonization". We've been well aware for a while they're able to access portals into other worlds.

The drives also contained some notes on Project Chimera and talks of previous genetic projects the UE's researched. I'll forward anyone who wants a copy of these notes to look over.

[ For those who ask and receive: here. ]

Has anyone begun to compile the information we have together to make it more streamlined? I imagine the AI can likely do it if you ask.

[vaccination]

What is it?

private

[gevurah]

A surprise.

Want to come by or should I drop by yours?

[voice; oh hey this civilian tablet suddenly works again]

[pixieboots]

Me? Really?

voice + private | dick pls

[gevurah]

Really.

[wolfchild]

how big are they
rovers

permatext

[gevurah]

Depends, I think. They were planning the launch of a rover to Mars back home and I think it was around ten feet.

audio

[wilder]

I'll take a copy of the notes.

And just great. It's not enough they've driven us off the planet now?

audio

[gevurah]

Sending now.

[ And about half a minute later, Zelos will have received a file entitled UEnotes.txt. ]

Why stop there?

audio

[commentboxtroll]

Interdimensional colonization?

[ See, now that's the actually worrying part. ]

Any chance you're handing out copies of what the AI decrypted?

audio

[gevurah]

Elmer's world didn't matter in the end to them, I imagine.

[ One world out of what, hundreds or thousands? ]

I'm sending you a copy now.

[ Voila, it is sent. ]

[quackery]

is there a way to know which worlds are being colonized

text

[gevurah]

It wasn't mentioned in these files. If someone else snatched a drive, it could be on those.

[icy_heavens]

I want a copy of those notes.

[velveteened]

I'd like a copy of those notes.

permaprivate

[gevurah]

One second.

[ She imagines Gil might yell at her if she doesn't, so she removes the porn-y bits from the file and sends the copy over to Oz. ]

Sent.

voice

[fullmeasure]

If you don't mind, send a copy this way.

audio

[gevurah]

[ There's the light tapping of fingers on a keyboard before: ]

You should be getting it in about ten or fifteen seconds.

[debtor]

[This is all terribly Not Good.]

Could you send me a copy, Miss Kate?

audio

[gevurah]

Sending.

[ By the time she speaks up again, he'll have been notified about the file transfer on this tablet. She took out the porn bit for him, too. ]

And Kate's fine, remember?

[boughtabookstore]

If there's some way I can be of assistance, I'm at your service.

[gevurah]

Thanks, babe.

[ encrypted ]

Any names I need to avoid giving the files to?

voice;

[phaseshifts]

[For a change:] Patches?

audio

[gevurah]

Nicotine patches.

Permavid

[governorkang]

[Interdimensional colonization does not sound good at all.]

I'd like to take a look at this information.

permaaudio

[gevurah]

Hey, Kang.

[ She hadn't realized he was still here, but at least he's alive. ]

One second.

[ And he's getting it any second now. ]

text

[lazyinlove]

so we should give stuff we find to the ai?

text

[gevurah]

If you're unable to decrypt it.

Did you find something?

[heartsink]

[ the name attached to this account reads Haruka Takahashi still yes shut up!! ]

If you're giving it away so freely, I'd like a copy. If it's not too much trouble.

[gevurah]

Not at all.

[ A moment later, said file should be received on her end. ]

Sent.

[khajidont]

I'd like a copy.

[gevurah]

[ She assumes he's a kid, but he's a superhero, too... so... sends original file. ]

Sending.

text;

[alittlesweptup]

I'll take a copy



Would've thought the bit about them coming up here was just common sense though. We did lift a bloody spaceship off them

text

[gevurah]

Sending.

[ He should have received it in a matter of seconds. ]

Depends if they are or aren't aware that we're up here and how many of us there are. If they assumed there were very few survivors, they might just be waiting for resources to give out and us to die on our own.

Unless they realize we all survived.

[ Then they're in a heap of shit. A bigger heap of shit. ]

text

[infiltrative]

[ comm ID reads RUSH. ]

I'd like to see those notes.

[ There's a brief pause, not registering the name.

A click or two and then: ]

Sent.

[everydayraphael]

Seems like your notes are pretty popular. I'll take a copy too, just to keep up with the trend. Thanks for helping keep the clinic stocked.

[Because it should be said. It's nice to know that something important is there if needed.]

audio

[gevurah]

[ He sounds young, too, so she removes the porn-y bits from the copy she sends over. ]

Sent.

And it's no problem.

voice;

[retraced]

[He'd like to read the information she's compiled as well, but before that:]

Thank you for all of your hard work, Kate.

audio

[gevurah]

Thank the AI.

[duplicitoussight]

I'd like those notes, if it isn't any trouble.

[ Kano's will also have no creepy robotics porn. ]

[lambofcolumbia]

[Elizabeth has to think this through, and she looks...puzzled. Because interdimensional travel doesn't work like that. For her, at least.]

...How can they colonize another dimension when they probably already exist there, though?

audio

[gevurah]

I imagine they'll colonize those they don't exist in. Our dimensions.

[highhealplz]

Thank you! It's much appreciated. I just used up the last of the pads and tampons, a refresher is great.

[ ha.. hahaha... that's a joke, see ]

audio

[gevurah]

[ You never know. ]

It's no problem. Didn't bother with panty liners, but maybe next time.

[voice]

[anotheryosuke]

--Oh, so that's what they meant by colonization.

[He laughs a little shakily.]

They're not up here yet, though, so I guess we've got some time still? Heh. Time. Um. Could I get a copy of the notes, please?

[Not that he has much hope of understanding them, probably, but he did promise himself to learn a little more about what they're up against, and what exactly is even going on around here.]

audio

[gevurah]

[ She is surprised by the amount of kids popping in here today. ]

Just a bit of it.

Sure. [ A pause as she taps the keyboard a couple of times. ] Sent.

[Voice]

[small_berserker]

[Lily's surprised, but pleasantly so.]

You really didn't have to do that, Kate, but thank you so much.

[gevurah]

[ Gently: ]

You wanted one, didn't you?
