Hi everyone. I haven't met that many of you since I've been mostly busy with the aid station, but I'm Lance.

I've done this whole 'waking up in another world' thing a few times now and in every one, there's been an issue of information getting lost. The more scattered our knowledge and experience is, the more difficult things are for everyone involved, and that includes the Adamant survivors who are kind of along for the ride in terms of whatever weirdness is surrounding us being here. So the more we know, the better for all of us.

It'd be helpful if we had access to the crew's information, but since we don't our best option is to collaborate and share what we do know with each other. Being as aware as we can of the situation will help us coordinate any future plans, and if we happen to find out something that the crew doesn't know themselves, record-keeping will help them too since they can access this network.

So far, I'm aware of public discussions about sharing things learned in conversations with the Thessyx, doing a headcount, and mapping the Adamant. We should probably also compile what we know about the animals and plants we've dealt with, things learned during scouting or exploration trips, and anything else we can think of that might be helpful.

However, I know from experience that keeping track of all this information can be kind of a big job, so if anyone is interested in handling organizing a portion of it, please feel free to say so. We'll just want to be sure that all the records are public and easily found by anyone looking for them.

No, but if you think that's a viable option and would like to give it a try, I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.

[dissemblance]

Me? Oh, no, no, that was definitely not me volunteering. I'm not that kinda girl.

But I know a guy.

what kinda game of telephone we playing here? romanoff asking lance asking romanoff asking wilson and rogers to ask captain childe, am I getting that right?

[dissemblance]

I'd say you've more or less got the spirit.

To be fair, you could just wait on Rogers. Your business if you want to jump on that grenade.

[unclesam]

he and I could coordinate. do that whole twin thing, speaking in unison. think that'd improve our chances?

[dissemblance]

No.

But I'd pay good money to see it anyway.

Well, not money. Rations, maybe. A bar of chocolate and what I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a stick of gum.

[unclesam]

just don't try to bribe me with the coffee, please
that's practically a war crime

[dissemblance]

Do I have to bribe you, Sam? Here I thought I just needed to bat my eyes.

[unclesam]

can't I at least pretend to have some token resistance left, tasha?

[ She's just as bad as Bucky 'I'm asking you to do it again, for me' Barnes and Steve 'I can't ask you to do this, and that's part of why you won't hesitate to do it' Rogers.

Sam is screwed. ]

[dissemblance]

Be my guest 😘

[unclesam]

generous. the shreds of my dignity thank you.

[dissemblance]

I'm a generous and benevolent overlord.

[lifetothefullest]

Are they friends from home, or people you met here?

[dissemblance]

Friends from home.

Known them for years now.

[lifetothefullest]

Although I wouldn't wish being in this sort of place on anyone, I'm glad you have friends here.

[dissemblance]

That's a very polite and politically-correct way of phrasing that.

You really have been around a time or two, huh? Is it always the same?

[lifetothefullest]

Thanks, it's a talent.

[Despite text, hopefully it's clear enough that he's joking.]

Some of it, yeah. Other things are totally different. Anything in particular you're wondering about?

[dissemblance]

What's a feature they all have in common that stands out to you?

What's been different every time?

[lifetothefullest]

How people come and go is something they've had in common. Not necessarily the method, but the patterns; people tend to--with a few exceptions--appear in groups on a set schedule, but disappear almost at random.

It's probably not much of a surprise, but the details are what's different. And by that I mean what the world itself is like, whether there are people native to the place, if magic exists, that sort of thing.

what exactly do you want to have access to? 'cause "everything" is rarely a request that flies, so let's make this list a bit more concrete, and I'm happy to see if I get the door slammed in my face on it.

[lifetothefullest]

Information about the dangers we may face outside of base camp--wildlife, environmental hazards, and so on--seems like it should be the priority, although any maps of the surrounding areas would also be useful. It'll benefit both us and the Adamant crew if we know what we're dealing with when we're trying to help with supply runs.

[unclesam]

our efforts to start organizing exploratiosn for map-making purposes might help us gain a leg up there.

not promises, but I'll see if we can trade intel for intel there.

[lifetothefullest]

That'd be great, thanks. In addition to trading intel, it might be worth mentioning that we'd be able to contribute a lot more in general if we don't have to waste time rediscovering and cataloging things they already know.

[unclesam]

you know I wonder if some of them are just waiting with bated breath for us to step on the glitterbomb puffball plant or whatever fun little bs the local fauna has in store for us.

someone told me the jellyfish forest gets you high and I'm not sure they were joking
