[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

1. Length of time you've been here.

2. Whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

3. Something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

4. Something you miss most desperately from home. No people, only items.

Thank you.

Apparently quite a few more.

What was this Luceti place like?

So I've been finding out, got a lot of people coming in from all over the place.

Luceti was basically a town under a giant dome, with it's own weather cycle within it and which fitted with the seasons. There was a number of experiments that happened, changes in age, in emotions, randomly falling asleep, lots of stuff.

Oh, and we had wings. Too small to be useful, but big enough to be a pain so you had to cut holes in your shirts and couldn't sleep on your back. And they were different colored for each person.

[okay, the wings thing is bizarrely random but] Experiments, huh? Sounds like the augment glitches.

More or less, but a bit more regular... most the time, others were pretty random. Was pretty forward in the fact they were observing us, even if we never saw them or any monitoring set up, like here.

Does kind of poke holes in the idea, doesn't it? Of course, we've also got these little chips in our skulls. That's suspicious.

Trust me, I don't like that either. The information is handy, but feels too much like having a bomb in my head that's ready to explode. That or maybe I'm just too old fashion since seems a pretty standard idea with a lot of sci fi stuff, chip in the arm or something to act as ID or currency.

Still, easier to manage than wings. Seriously, they were a pain. I don't recommend.

Noted.

There is of course a huge difference between requesting to have a chip installed in your head and waking up to find that you've had it installed for you. So there's that.

True. Though I suppose at the moment I don't mind it as a trade off.

Being stuck in Luceti was a pain, we only got let out on special missions for our captors. At least here we're going places, not all good, but at least going. Not just stuck in these ships, we get to walk on real ground and interact with places and people, get all sorts of weird items. Just get space to move around without being totally trapped.

So yeah, as long as this chip isn't giving me brain cancer or wiping memories or something, I'll take it for the semi freedom we have.

That chip can do whatever it want, so don't jinx it. But I will agree that this isn't the worst prisoner situation to face.

Wouldn't dream of it.

Is there a particular goal you have in mind for gathering this information? Or just treating this more as a general achieve of those passing through? Not that it is a bad idea, especially for those who have left here.

Trying to update the newcomer's guide. It's a little outdated. [and there are plenty of other people handling archives]

Oh yeah, that. [Remy had completely forgotten about it, maybe understandable since he's been here for awhile now.] Guess it is a good idea to keep it up to date and with enough correct information on it for those who are interested in reading it.

I honestly can't remember if I ever did, part of me thinks I did, since early on I was looking for anyway to get out of here and find an escape or something like that. Less so now days.

The last one also journaled our visits to other worlds, but the editor ended up being returned home. I'd rather avoid that with this one. It'll be less about what we've done, and more a collection of advice for settling in as smoothly as possible.

Good idea.

It is nice to know what others have done and how to help out with funds or how the ships work and what's on the Iskaulit, but the hardest part of this all is just accepting it. That can take a lot of time and, well, up to everyone differently.

But still, not a bad plan.

You're not wrong. Just unfortunate that the hardest part is the one nobody can help with.

I'll add that note about the Iskaulit. Don't think I've seen a comprehensive list anywhere, thanks.

It would be good to have an up-to-date listing of everything there. Have had a lot of people come and go, including those who started places there and have left since then.

Hell, I'm sure I haven't even gotten around to half of it, just because it's not part of my normal routine.

Sounds like pointless, time-wasting busy work.

Just a suggestion if you wanted to bulk out the information a bit more, cher. Though God knows I have no plans to set that kind of time aside to do it, so hardly blame you if you've got no interest in dealing with that.

I'll think about it. I think brevity might be the soul of wit in this case, but maybe if something becomes relevant.

Thanks for the input.
