For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

Give your thread a day and rough timestamp. Replies to a top level should be in one thread unless you switch to speak to individual (and make a thread under that heading.)

6th Jelly, a few hours into the day.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Hey, everyone. Nita Callahan with Orange team, here. I've got my white band on if I'm needed anywhere, but for now...

Probably best to focus on those patches; reboot those Helpmates as we can and see if they know anything once they're fixed.

And - if anyone wants to pool resources and try to get a signal down through this biosphere, I'd really like to know how the star this system's being built around is doing. Hopefully nothing else is stuck inside there, but you never know.

Like the mission brief said, take care of each other, and I'm here if you want to call me. Nita, out.

[blitzcheer]

Uhh, get a signal to the star? Wait, you talkin' about with magic?

[ Wait, did she leave? Oh, uhh- ]

Oh yeah, this is Tidus, over with Purple. [ Since, hey, he should say that right? To the rest of anyone listening! ] How's everywhere else looking? It's just streets and those Helpmate things around here. Nothing real weird yet. How about Blue and Red? How're you guys doing?

[bakegarasu]

Otoha in Red. We've got factories... it's hot here, but some of the corridors are way too hot or cold or have something sparking in them. Already ran into those Helpmate things.

A few of them attacked us, so we had to get rid of them.

[10billionpercent]

What's the purpose of the signal? It's a star.

[ He's a little confused, but it's fine, what's a little conversation. ]

This place is like an annoying obstacle course.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita, tuning back into this thread, blinks.]

Ah - it might be more of a thing that happens with wizardry than in other systems, but even stars can be communicated with, if you've got the right variables.

Wish we knew if this system had been inhabited before the biosphere was built; that would make negotiating a whole lot easier.

[bakegarasu]

If you need backup for keeping people safe while you do that, ask Lightning and she can probably send some of us Reds over.

Late Jelly 9, open

[worthallthis]

Is everyone's team being told to enter the system and then just not moving anymore when they do?

[Soldat sounds maybe a little on edge.]

Re: Late Jelly 9, open

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita's response is quick, and more than a little worried.]

Yeah. Whatever's causing the problem must be internal, in the software - but there's still trouble out here we can help hold off.

[Indeed, there's the sound of something moving fast that can be heard over the SCA - followed by a sharp HIYA! as Nita blocks it with a spell.]

Re: Late Jelly 9, open

[worthallthis]

Okay. Okay, I'll do that.

[It's quiet for now, on their end, aside from watching people take the plunge. But Nita can hear the sound of something mechanical buzzing, and then a knife being drawn.]

Everything okay on your team?

Re: Late Jelly 9, open

[unfavorableinstigation]

For now.

No casualties and no more serious injuries than what I've treated myself.

[To wit: Conan and his (minor) concussion.]

No one's had to evacuate yet either, so I'm calling that a positive. How about you?

Re: Late Jelly 9, open

[worthallthis]

No one's evacuated on Red team, either. Had some injuries, nothing serious.

[A pause. They remember how this worked in Beacon.]

Think people can get hurt physically when they're in the system?

Re: Late Jelly 9, open

[unfavorableinstigation]

I haven't been in places like that before - but if the bodies themselves aren't bleeding, out here, any injuries they might be getting in there shouldn't take.

[That seems reasonable enough for her.]

Jelly 9, from the inside

[10billionpercent]

Hello? It's Senku. Is anyone outside of this place? Can you tell us what's going on? I have Tidus with me...

Did we just disappear, or...?

hacker voices, we're in

[blitzcheer]

Helloooo? Woohoo? Rest of the world?

[ Is this really going through? ]

I can hear you, but you are standing next to me...

[ Very brilliant test here. ]

Re: Jelly 9, from the inside

[worthallthis]

[Oh thank fuck. This isn't red team, but if one person can contact the outside, maybe all of them can.

Soldat braces themselves for more public conversation and replies,]

Red team is still here outside. Presumed everyone else is, too. Just asleep.

[10billionpercent]

Asleep? [ Senku sounds a bit bewildered. ]

Like our physical bodies are still outside the...game or whatever this is?

[worthallthis]

Yes. Sitting unresponsive, eyes closed. Asleep. Guess maybe only your minds are inside the system.

[10billionpercent]

Just asleep? Really? [ How curious, so this is like a dream? ]

Hey, can you do me a favour? Go up and pinch me or something. I want to see if I wake up.

[worthallthis]

Can't. You're not on red team. We're still in physically different locations.

I am assuming you are the same as the red team, though, as the girl earlier said her team was doing the same.

[They pause, then admit,]

I have not tried to wake any of them in a while. I did shake a shoulder or two earlier. No response.

12th Jelly

[unfavorableinstigation]

Okay.

[Someone seems to have remembered the SCAs exist again.]

Okay. That... that was something.

We all alive out here? And- if anyone's got any post-action plans, for checking on this world before we leave, just mention what they are. Use the buddy-system if we need to.

[Nita sounds a little annoyed, but it's only because of the surprise 'teleport' back to her body.]

As for getting out of here - does evac'ing by team sound like a good plan for everyone? I know some of us can teleport or fly, but beyond that...

[There probably isn't much enthusiasm for the prospect of getting back to the 'North Pole', is there?]

Oh! And, if you need healing, don't hesitate to ask for help. I've got my hands free, for one...

[nutkrusher]

Purple's the biggest team, so we should probably let the others in first and go in waves. I can try and help with that.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita sounds more than a little relieved to hear someone else's voice.]

Thanks.

Should we try combing over the rest of this world, or just seeing if the parts of sectors we've visited so far are repaired?

[nutkrusher]

I can take a look through the parts of Autumn I've already been in.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Gotcha.

Good to hear - I can help out with any sector so long as I can get a bead on the location.

Still wish we could find a map in this place.

It'll be easier without the Helpmates glitching on us, now, though. That's for sure.
