Hey everyone.

First, if anyone here knew Ed Elric, he's left us for home. He was my lab partner and friend for the last few months, and I'm going to miss him.

Second: this cold isn't exactly the best environment for plant growth, but plants are an important food group for most of us. I've brought some spectrum lamps for plant growth back from Hydroponics on the base, along with some I built myself. There should be enough to power a small indoor agriculture operation for a while, and I'm working on more with my limited supplies.

Third: I'm also working on compact heaters if any of you ended up in unheated residences. The process is slow without supplies or collaborators, but if current progress holds, five should be ready within the week.

As are many. I have wondered of late if it would not be of more benefit to all of us with some background in engineering skills to form some kind of regular collaboration, or guild.

My name is Chrysos Kineas, of Cepheus. You are?

I'd like that too.

I'm Billy Cranston of Earth. An earth in the relatively distant past compared to this.

An honor to make your acquaintance.

Have you determined a location land-side for your work?

[oncearanger]

I haven't had luck finding a big enough space.

[ Hmm. Well, it's not as though the building he's currently staying in is entirely occupied... and it's certainly spacious in places. Ignoring the choice of interior decorating.

An attachment with the message: information and a map identical to a set left by the Transporter. There's a few circles here and there on the map, indicating certain areas. ]

If you could make your way to this compound, there are a number of ground floor and basement spaces that could be useful.

That's perfect! Thanks, I really appreciate the tip.

You're welcome. Just be advised that a number of the remaining [ ......what to even call them, technically ] pieces of "art" are of a somewhat unusual nature, and apparently not to be dismantled.
