action/video; what one can accomplish...

[aetherflows]

Who: Alphinaud and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The community gardens on the Iskaulit
When: The morning of January 24th

[video;]

[Alphinaud appears on the network for the first time in months, illuminated by the soft greenery of the garden. He looks less frazzled this time, as he's been able to settle in. And that means it's time to do what he does best: get in everyone's business and absorb information like a sponge.]

Good morning to you all. I come to ask a small favor of those who have resided here for longer than I have-- at least longer than four moons.

It seems to me that we have encountered several sapient races on the worlds we've visited, both familiar and [a pause] not so familiar. I would like to compile all the information that we have on them. If someone else has already gone through this labor, I would like very much to study the result. My ideal would be a brief history on previous encounters with these people, their origin if known, and a visual aid. I can provide the latter if given enough information.

It is highly possible that we will encounter them in the future, and continue to encounter them. The benefits are obvious: it is pertinent to know how to approach them for future interactions, and to handle any situations that may arise. Also, if we helped someone before, we may help them again... or even need help ourselves, if the 'Interceptors' are any indication.

If you are not amenable to sharing what you know over the devices, I'll be in the open gardens on the Iskaulit for the time being.

[A short bow.]

Thank you for your time.

[The Goldstone is often too noisy, so he's spending a lot of time writing and compiling information in... the gardens. Not the best place for it, but Alphinaud is quite happy where he is, with a blanket underneath him and a big journal in his lap. Anyone who isn't comfortable sharing info on the network, or just wants to see what he's up to, is welcome to bother him here.]

[ Hey, have a redhead! ]

I wouldn't mind sharin' what I know - probably isn't anything special, but I've been here a while so... it'd be a start, at least.

(While Alisaie herself has nothing to contribute to the conversation, it's in her nature to watch over her brother―especially whenever he invites people to speak with him in-person. It isn't that she thinks he'll slip up and say the wrong thing (she has enough self awareness to recognize that she is the twin that does that), rather she just lacks trust in anyone here. Who knows what kind of brute might try to rob her brother because he was foolish enough to meet them in-person?

She lingers close by in the gardens, watching him from what she feels is respectable enough of a distance. Curious about what he's writing about, she tries to sneak in a little closer and CRACK. That was a branch she just happened to step on and boy, was that way louder than it should be.)

I had meant to do that to draw your attention this way. (She did not mean to do that one bit, but that's the story she's sticking with now.) You were too absorbed in your writing to notice that I had come to pay you a visit.

I don't think anyone else has. If they did, they're probably not here anymore. [Asuka's face furrows in its typical consternation. It's not a bad idea, really.]

But I'll tell you what I know. And every ship has at least a handful of pets from the different planets, so that's something easy to look into.
