[The following took Katara the better part of three hours to type, but she managed to work it so that the transcript is released at the same time as the voice recording.]
Hi, everyone. This is Katara and I’m going to be joining the Welcome Center staff this cycle, so I’m using this system to ask everyone to help out with something. But first, for all you New Feathers - this is a secure channel. It’s the only place we know of that we can discuss things without the Malnosso overhearing. So we’re free to say what we want here, and not have to worry about it being overheard, but we should be careful about repeating any of it on the journals if it’s something we don’t want them to know.
Now about the Welcome Center, as I was going through the material we have there, I thought of something. One of the first questions anyone asks when we get here is “How do we get out?” I know I did. So it might be nice to have a list of things that people have tried to break the barrier to show New Feathers when they come in - maybe there’s some way that their skills can augment something that’s already been tried. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for all of us to talk about what we’ve done either, but if you don’t feel comfortable discussing that, that’s okay too.
[She hesitates. But this has been really bothering her and she thinks it’s important so she dives back in.]
Secondly... I’ve been in Luceti nearly three years now. I know there was a time before I got here that the Third Party was able to break through our barrier, but I’ve never heard of another enclosure being relocated here for safety. And... I know a lot of bad things happened. Two of the people most important to me were injured by the people staying in Kin’cora. They raided our stores and they hunted in our forests and attacked us - and we hurt them back. We killed them. And outside of Luceti, there is no one to remove death penalties. Whatever they lost, they lost for as long as they’re here.
I just got back from a mission where there was an entire ward of people who had been here for too long which this place had... broken. And they were from the outside. They were soldiers and civilians, some of them who had died so many times that things were just... missing.
[It had been terrible. She pauses and tries to focus herself back on topic.]
My point is that we might have had a chance to make a difference when the people from Kin’cora were here, and I’m not sure what kind of difference we made. I was so proud of the way people fell in to help with hunting parties and rations, and the way the medical workers responded by taking in the people who had already been wounded. But after going on that last mission and after everything that happened while they were here, I think it’s important to talk about it. What did we learn about the world outside our barrier? Is there anything we can do differently in case something like this happens again?
[In case we are the ones sent somewhere else?]
I know we all want to get out of here. We all want to go home. It's hard not to give up hope. That's why it's so important to talk about what we've experienced and learned so that together we can find a way to make a difference.

((OOC: This is an open discussion post. Katara won't be responding to every tag. There will be a separate thread for listing off attempts to break the barrier - feel free to threadjack in there too, that's just for convenient linking purposes - and the rest of it is all threadjacking and discussion ahoy! So have fun!))

That should give you a good start in understanding this place.

Is there any way to find out a list of the people who have come and gone here?
Written
There isn't an actual listing, but you can go back in the journals to see past things people said on it. Be wary, as some people have found they were here before and did not recall it and that could be unsettling.

It is no trouble. And do you have any other questions about this place?
