this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

I admit I'm still rather at a loss to understand how it is they allowed such a thing to happen in the first place.

[Kirk, however, seems to have a better grasp about these things, and it's said in a way that it can be taken as a question.]

[universal_charm]

I'm a bit at a loss too, but I haven't come across much information to help in that area.

_{[ He shook his head, his brow creased ever so slightly in frustration on that point. ]}

It may be that things just spiraled out of control, or that they didn't notice before it was to late. The machinery could have malfunctioned. I don't see them having done this on purpose, to say the least.

[lord_wizard]

I imagine so. A person can destroy themselves intentionally [there's a note of wryness because he has], but it would take far unanimity for a whole planet to decide that for themselves. This sort of thing...

[He gestures around them]

...this speaks of hope. And hope is incongruous with suicide.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nods quietly. ]}

Hope. I can see that. And a reminder for the future not to repeat their mistakes. It makes me wonder about their original culture though - the one they came from. Is any of this representative of it? Or are they making something new? Did they leave because they are so different from the major one on their home planet?

[lord_wizard]

Those are questions a bit too complex for paintings on the wall, I think. Perhaps if I can locate a library...

[universal_charm]

They might have one, especially if they have a museum. But it might not be what you expect. If I was a colonizing world, I would store that sort of thing as data, not physical books.

[lord_wizard]

[He sighs heavily]

I find myself unable to quell my disappointment in that fact, even if I understand the reasons.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He grins. ]}

I understand. On my ship, I kept physical books as well. I think it baffled my officers.

[lord_wizard]

And why is that?

[universal_charm]

Where I am from, physical books are a rarity. They take up unnecessary space, for one, and most media is released via digital means now. Easier to disseminate too.
