[Yuri turns on the feed, greeting everyone with a lopsided smile. Almost telling that he has a really smartass remark to make...]

Am I the only one waiting for something bad to happen? Not that I wish it, but it's actually kinda nice right now. The calm before the storm, right? We're all working together, almost as if forgetting there was a civil war among us on the moon about sides and everything. Now, suddenly everything's sunshine and rainbows. [The last part is overly sarcastic. Of course, he knows not everything's going well, but for him and the journey he was on in his world, this is pretty damn chill.]

Though, gotta thank the place for supplying monsters. Kinda missed fighting regularly, and they're strong too. Gets me excited to actually do stuff now here. [Instead of moping around in his room about how much he hates this damn place, but ah, well, beggars can't be choosers.]

If anyone ever cares to join me, I wouldn't mind. Maybe I could find a few sparring partners that way. Gets boring with Flynn all the time. [He chuckles once at the end before turning off the feed.]

[Why looks, it's the last face you want to see right now! Elmer's beaming smile graces your video screen, pleasant as ever.]

Are we all glad that ordeal is over with? Well, I suppose one part of it is over with for now. The offenders have been detained, yes? I'm not sure they can hear this, but someone pass along to them that I do hope they keep their chins up. Tough times are head for all of us, especially them, so staying positive is our key to diplomacy! [Yes sure okay Elmer]

Speaking of, exactly how do we deal with this now? I'm curious. We've been lucky until this point that there's never been much major crime. And if someone was killed, the Initiative could resurrect them, and the victim could tell on their murderer! But we don't have that luxury anymore. Mm, it's a lot to worry about with everything else is going on. Maybe we ought to have some sort of group meeting on how this could be settled. We may have to take it off-base in order to fit everyone, but do I think at this point that it's important that everyone's voice is properly heard, yeah? [It's times like this that you wonder if that smile is genuine or patronizing. The mysteries of Elmer C. Albatross.]

I'm also wondering how it goes trying to get us off this base. The moon has its charms, but I'm sure we all miss Earth by now. I know we've had a few snafus, but it's time to get back on track! After all, last times zombies attacked in Exsilium, it was a lot easier to fight them on the ground than in here. If anyone is willing to share information with me, I'd be very grateful! Because I want to help with missions or research or the like to get us back on the ground, and all the citizens alive and smiling again. Let's work hard, Transports!

A coupla days ago, someone tried to blame a missing grenade on a cat playing with it like a ball of yarn. I don't think I'm too far off questioning their sanity, am I?

[The answer is 'no'. He's more or less posting this to be a troll. He thinks by now everyone knows where that missing grenade is... or where it was used if it happened to be used.]

[ Eilonwy has her arms crossed. Her skin is quite red with sun, redder than her redgold hair. Thanks, mission. ]

Well, this is a curious device, isn't it! It's rather like an enchanted pool of water, or how I imagine it would be, without the water. So not very like a pool of water at all.

[ She waves. ]

I've been terribly rude, not introducing myself until now! I am called Eilonwy.

What I wonder though, is why we were all sent to spend afternoons collecting rocks. Surely if they wanted to clean up the beach, that was a silly way to go about it. It's bound to be dirty again, by now. Why, it's like making your bed right before you go to sleep in it.

If this world is in danger, and all of ours along with it, I would fight, not— not gather pebbles by the seashore turning half my skin red as a tomato. [ She really soured on the idea after she burned half her skin off. ] It doesn't seem like a clever way to go about this at all!

Hello, fellow Transports! I know we're in a bit of a pinch right now what with this super-virus mutating and infecting some of the population, but if you have a minute I've got some questions I'd appreciate some answers to. Some of them may help either now, if we're going to be trying to treat this virus at all, or in the future should anything like this happen again.

What's your name?
Age?
Place of origin? Planet, country, and city of origin would be the most helpful.
Species? If you're anything other than a baseline human, does your biology differ in any notable ways?
What occupation did you have in your world of origin? "Student" and "unemployed" are perfectly valid answers.
Do you have any prior experience with war?
Time travel?
Alternate universes?
Technology at the level the Initiative is operating with?
Do you have any background in medicine?
What about the STEM fields? For anyone who doesn't know, that would be Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
What kind of weapon did you choose upon entrance to Exsilium? If it has a special function, feel free to include that at your discretion.
Have you made use of the Initiative's training areas outside of mandatory training hours?
If you answered no to the above, why not?
What is your opinion on the Initiative and their missions?


Feel free to skip any questions you feel are too intrusive, or encrypt things if you would like to answer but would rather not answer to the whole network. Similarly, if you would like to answer but don't trust the Initiative's technology, I can currently be found in the library (the one not in the Hold) and would love to either talk face to face or take answers written elsewhere. Look for the blonde in the Metropolis University sweatshirt. Any and all private communication will be kept completely confidential and is only to satisfy my own curiosity. Thank you in advance for any answers!

And, out of the interest of fairness, I'll give you my own answers to this little survey.

cut because holy wow this is getting long )
