Attention Luceti Residents.

The following names are being called to participate in a strike against the cultist hordes:
[the names listed here appear on the journal.]

All subjects are required to arrive at the tunnels at 8AM on the 27th of March for deployment. All listed individuals are required to be present. Subjects will then be escorted to TERRACE for battle preparation and further details.

Target will be Region One, a former Malnosso stronghold, presently in cultist hands. Subjects are advised to prepare for combat in forested areas. Further information will be made available at TERRACE. Questions and answers will not be provided at this time.

[The Malnosso will not reply to this message, but everyone is free to use this post to discuss among themselves, whether using voice options on the journal or doing action threads.]

Space research huh? I wonder if there's anything there they want back, if they're willing to risk us in an attempt to get it back...

One would hope they would keep backup records in another facility. Perhaps on the moon base itself. The cultists do not seem to need the technology themselves to get themselves into space.

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

I would assume they would keep multiple records, just in case. But if they're going to make us go get it back, I see no problem in taking some info of our own as payment.

[A brief hum of contemplation.]

It should be manageable to take information if it is somehow available. But we do not know yet what objectives will be set before us in Region One and who will have access where.

Considering the time to prepare that they are giving us, they are likely themselves preparing for how to hold us while aboard TERRACE.

[universal_charm]

Yeah, I guess that would make sense. Wouldn't want the rats getting their little claws on things they shouldn't.

But still, even getting hold of coordinates for this planet could be immensely helpful. I doubt they would keep anything super important there though. You tend to keep that stuff closer to home.

If you do not mind my asking, have you heard of the draft that took place on the moon, last year?

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

No, sorry. I've only been here less than half a year and from what I've gathered, not many people are willing to talk about drafts at all. I figured I shouldn't push buttons.

I'm guessing it's relavent though.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

It may help you to know what was discovered during that draft. [Or perhaps not.] When draftees were sent into space to travel to the moon, it was discovered that there are no stars out there. The night sky we see within the enclosure is a facade.

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

What? That can't be right. It's not like this whole planet is stuck inside its own vacuum!

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Since we will be on a sky facility for awhile, you may have a chance to see for yourself -- other than the moon, the sky is entirely empty at night.

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

That... there could be explanations for that. And if there are, maybe they're at this sky facility. There's always an answer.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. I'm sure being there will at least lend more opportunities than being here.

[A small positive, maybe? You take what you can get in this world.]

I don't know if we'll have time, but if I get the chance I'm taking as much as I can from that place, you can count on it. About time the Malnosso learned rats can bite.
