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.]

Useful, was it?

[Since Shikamaru seems to be very good at being in the thick of things.]

[If he'd been told what they were doing going out to those tunnels, he probably would've sent Neji.]

The door's open now, but to get in a passcode was needed. I used the number from the photo.

[The eight digit number tattooed onto Davis' arm, that is. Just in case the door closes somehow, he wants someone else to remember what it is.]

[Well, that's nice to hear.]

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.

[Catching that implication and holding it, thank you.]

I'm sure you have plenty of thoughts on this place.

It's... [Wow, how do you put it in words.] It's not so much answers as it is more clues, but it's interesting.

There were people here before us. What they chose to erase of their time here, and what they chose to leave behind on its own raises questions.

You've been here a long time - when you came, were there any signs of those who'd been here before? Or was it only as though the current occupants had ever been here?

[Current allowing for those who come and go, of course, but there's still a sense of continuity.]

By the time that I arrived here, the village already was equipped with electricity. People like Albert, or Buffy and Sheena. They'd know more about that.

Hm. I wonder...

[If they know, will they share? Information can be a commodity, even here where they're all in the same metaphorical boat.]

[Reading your mind, bro.]

Works best when you don't make it sound like you're there for an interrogation.

[You keep doing that. :| ]

I do my best not to.

Just keep in mind how long some of them have been here. Four, five years. It gets troublesome, when people come to you like a name on a shopping list.

I wasn't intending to be like that about it.

I know.

[It's on the edge of his tongue -- or rather, his fingers -- to snap Then what was that about?, but Neji holds himself back.]

Talk to them together, perhaps?
