Hey, everyone! Precis F. Neumann here. You know, the girl who’s always running around with her robot? I kind of died last month on a mission? You’ve probably seen me around or something, but I’m too busy working in my room doing genius mechanical things to come out sometimes. The introduction’s out of the way, so let’s get this started, alright? Try not to get lost here, because I discovered something brand new, and it’s a big one.

So, let’s start at the beginning. Some of you might remember a mission where we had to rescue some captives from a hostage situation at Desset Hopsital? On the fourth, there was a bit of an incident with a shift bomb. I tried to disarm it, but I died in the process. Sucks, huh? I saved everyone else, though, so Davis sent me a gift. Cheria and I used it to locate a new door in the tunnels. I’ve been spending the last month trying to find the code, but it wasn't something I had access to. Shikamaru was able to open it, though. I guess Claude was there, too, kind of helping.

Back on track. Something brand new. If you go look in the tunnels, you’ll see what I mean. Just look for the door you haven’t seen before. Are you still with me? Don’t give up yet. It won’t kill you to do a little reading.

Anyways, we found a workshop in there. Lots of computers and a whole lot of nothing. There’s actually a bulletin board I think you guys should come and check out. Some of it is useless information to someone like me, but some of it is pretty interesting. Something about monsters and February and not having children. That’s the boring part. A lot of things are faded out and useless, but I did manage to figure out a few things.

So, one thing I found was that the workplace’s mainframe? It was totally wiped. On purpose. The computer is old by Earth standards and pretty useless, but that much is clear. Whatever they were keeping down there, it’s not something we’re going to get back. There’s also a door we can’t get through right now. The map says that there’s an elevator behind it, but let that sink in for a moment. An elevator going up would lead back to our village, right? Or into the mountains. I think it’s pretty safe to say that there’s more of this place we haven’t seen yet.

That’s pretty much it. You guys should come take a look for yourselves. You might be able to make more sense of it than I did, especially since I haven’t even been here for a year yet, you know? That’s pretty much all the obvious stuff, anyways.

I guess I’ll sum it all up for you. I died (it’s still weird saying that!), I got a little gift, and we found a new place in the tunnels. It’s open for everyone now, so come take a look. I can answer your questions, too, I guess.

[ooc; Feel free to threadjack and discuss. Precis will try to get to everyone, but if I get overwhelmed, Shikamaru and Claude will jump in. The entire post is also text.

Also! This is forward-dated to the morning of the 10th, and the date of the discovery is being bumped up to October 9th. This was agreed upon by Pi, Trap, and myself because logs take time.]

It likely is referring to the implication that the children have no world to be anchored to. Most of the third party... are children that had been born in this world.

[goldenglasses]

So, the people born here will have their wings grow large like that?

[wise_maiden]

It is a possibility that it will happen over time, yes. Are you familiar with the Observer, the one we call Rem?

[goldenglasses]

Rem... [He goes quiet a moment. Trying to recall.] I've heard of her, but I admit I don't remember too much about her. Just little things.

[wise_maiden]

She's aided us a few times during the years, and addressed us again recently, when we had to play host to the Kin'coran refugees. In any case, I only mentioned her because she's an example of someone who only has this world as their own, and is not aligned with the cultists.

[goldenglasses]

I see. An interesting mystery to add to what little we know about this world.

[wise_maiden]

The Malnosso and others beyond the barrier refer to people like them as 'Lucies', though it doesn't seem to be meant as anything but derogatory. Although, I wonder...

[goldenglasses]

Lucies? That almost sounds like Luceti. If all Third Party members were born not from other worlds they couldn't have all come from Luceti could they?

[wise_maiden]

We don't know why this enclosure is named 'Luceti'. The name was here before we were. It could just be a coincidence, but asking someone to confirm might be an idea. The organization didn't even seem to have a name for the cultists themselves, when we first learned about them.

[goldenglasses]

If we can get anyone we can believe to talk to us.

[wise_maiden]

There are various individuals we can speak to now, at least, with the missions we've been going on. More of a chance rests in those opportunites to gather information than anything else.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. [Maybe he should volunteer more often, yet the idea of doing missions for the Malnosso leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Even so, there has been a lot of new information gained that way.]

[wise_maiden]

There are even ones without violence available, if that suits your nature better.

[goldenglasses]

Well, it's just that I'm not sure I really like the idea of helping the Malnosso when I know so little about them.

[wise_maiden]

You're not going to learn anything by not looking for opportunities or taking chances. This is our only way of obtaining new information right now.

[goldenglasses]

Y-yeah. You have a very good point there. This new section of the tunnels wouldn't have been found after all without it.

[wise_maiden]

I'm glad you realize that.

[goldenglasses]

Ah! Yeah! I mean, I didn't mean to say the other people going on these missions is a bad thing! I just hope they're all safe while on them.

[wise_maiden]

Sometimes it's a risk worth taking.

[goldenglasses]

I understand.
