005 - video/text; the power is yours
Who: Clay Terran + You
Broadcast: Yeh
Action: On the Vanquish
When: April 11th
[Clay had been counting down the days, and now, today's the day. Just a year ago, he arrived with his former captain, Sheena, and set out on the journey of a lifetime. It feels - It's weird, it's like a mix of gratitude and exasperation, happiness and sadness. It's a whole jumble of feelings that he's been trying to sort through ever since he realized the date was closing in.
He thinks about contacting a few people about it, and even opens up his communicator and tries to do so, but he notices that he can't reach one person in particular. And when he sees why... Well. Okay then. It's fine, it's just - It's fine. He's fine.
But... he might as well tell the network, for the few that did know the guy. When he turns on the video, Clay's sitting in his room, papers taped up to the wall of various notes and sketches of what they've come across so far.]
So, uh... it looks like Orion went home.
[He purses his lips a bit and frowns at the thought of him going back there, now that he's said it out loud. He knows Orion's not... exactly a good person, and he's done some terrible things and has a horrible past. And he's going back to that, probably not remembering any of the progress he's made, and he might not even be Orion again if he comes back -
Right. Right. On to other things. He's fine.]
It's also been a year since I showed up here. [And here he finally smiles a bit, though it grows as he keeps talking.] I was so enthralled - Space is my whole life, and it's always been my dream to go. So to come here and wake up to a galaxy full of stars... I didn't know why I was pulled into Atroma's gravity, and I still don't know. But when I first came here, all I wanted to do was find evidence of all the answers to the questions my Earth has to send it back to them. But now? It's about way more than that. It's about everyone's homes, every planet and moon we come across. I want to seek out the truth of what's out there for the betterment of everyone out there, not just my planet. It... took me a while to come to that.
[And he's proud of it, and it shows. And now that he's on the subject:]
I wrote down all my notes about this moon. The file's going to be attached to this broadcast, if anyone wants to take a look at it. And if you've found out anything else about the moon, could you let me know about it? Thanks in advance!
[He waves to the camera, then turns it off while he uploads the file.]
moon and planet unnamed. citizens of the moon just call it "home".
source of sunlight - yellow dwarf star.
planet's gravity is severe. shuttle showed signs of distress even from a distance. no oxygen, can't support life that relies on it.
reason for critical pollution: conflicting.
what we know: the cause - the terraformers. terraforming efforts originally successful, giving them a forested ecosystem with clean air and water. something with the terraformers went wrong, causing deadly toxins and oils to spread across the surface. vein and channel system? while it was a source of wealth at first, it soon got into the water, soil and air, affecting all life.
inhabitants don't know what happened - terraformers are self-maintaining/programmed, people never worked on them. error in terraformer programming?
all other information conflicting. study history more.
wildlife: adapted and evolved to handle pollution. look like Earth creatures with some key differences. some are large and very dangerous, do not go near. BEARS ARE BAD.
if they can adapt to a poisoned life, they can surely adapt to life without
vegetation: forests from the past still stand, horrible shape. very hilly terrain, several cliffs seen when atmosphere was clearer. abandoned mineshafts - big source of gas? another source: oil towers. air felt oppressive even with the mask.
water extremely polluted: need more study. papers for notes became contaminated while sitting near a lake, showed symptoms of sickness after taking them on the ship. soils show signs of critical pollution as well.
really really need microscope
water heavily filtered to support residents? - yes, mud is too for games
residents: "war games" happen often. no real physical violence allowed, citizens get pitted in a war game match for it. adapted well to the poisonous ecosystem, take pride in the gas masks they create, though would like to see a day they won't have to put them on all the time.
i really want to help them see that day
the core: while much of the poison is on the surface, even more of it is inside the moon and in the core of it. (observation by: mikleo)
question 1: did the pollution come from the core and the terraformers just brought it out into the world?
question 2: did the terraformers introduce the pollution to the moon and its core?
question 3: what was the moon like before the terraforming started?
overall question: where did the poison come from?
pollution is not supernatural in nature (observation by: allen walker), so how did so much of it spread?
hypothesis 1: the terraformers are still working and the poison is coming from themselves
hypothesis 2: properties in the core are being brought out into the rest of the world
hypothesis 3: the moon is rejecting what the terraformers are doing (hypothesis by: mikleo)

Video
Thanks a lot!
Video
Well, you know, I'm not naming any names, but I heard someone in the fleet got chased up a tree by a bear. So now we know they can be hostile!
Video
Video
Well, it was a beary bad situation the person got themselves into! I heard they bearly made it out!
Video
Are you done yet?
Video
[okay okay fine]
But seriously, I'm glad you're okay. Were you hurt or anything?
Video
Huh? Oh- no, I'm fine. Just got a couple scratches from the tree, but a friend healed 'em up.
[Because poor Dezel is now stuck in the Friend category whether he likes it or not]
Video
[WOO HOO FIRST-AID TRAINING never mind that blood and whatnot still makes him want to sit down for a while]
So... how'd that even happen?
Video
[What a nice guy though to offer...huh.]
Uh...I sorta woke her up by accident.
Video
Hoooow do you do that by accident.
Video
Video
He lets out a very long sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose]
I don't know if you have astronomically terrible luck or really good luck.
Video
Video
[And with that over with:]
So what was the first thing you were running from?
Video
Well, uh... [an awkward pause] There were some flying things that sorta looked like Zubats.
Video
Zub - wait, like - uh, bats?
[Should he... even reveal that he knows what Pokemon are...]
Video
Re: Video
Video
Video
[He heard the explanation for it, but it's still so weird to see Earth-like creatures on completely different worlds.]
Don't like them?
Video
[Okay more like they freak him the hell out, but hey]
Video
[Clay's not really into biology or anything, so he doesn't know the nature of bats, even though he doesn't mind them at all. He'd rather not say bats won't really hurt people when he's not entirely sure of it himself.]
Maybe travel with someone next time? I still haven't explored a lot of the moon, so I can come along if you want. Though I can't do much if we run into a bear, but having a buddy system in a place like this would be ideal.
Video
[That is definitely an idea there, but...]
Um....
No offense, but aren't you...kinda old to be hanging around a kid? [This feels like he's being babysat okay]
Video
Wow.
Video
Sorry. It's a nice offer, really! I just...I don't really know you? [or rather, he hasn't been near this guy in person to sense him.] And if you're studying this moon, I'm sure you got better things to do than babysit!
