[He has supposed since coming here that, since this is an alien planet, he'll have to be honest with his name (or lack thereof) in public. Hell, if any of these people go back to his neck of the woods when the ship's fixed all he has to do is send out a team and have a nice new memory written down for them. Everybody else should be in the clear.

So a little bit more honest of a public introduction than most civilians get. Though he doesn't look as official as he'd like, he's wearing an old overcoat and a high collared shirt that he's scavenged. But his expression is stony and earnest and makes up where the lack of suit detracts.]

If I've not spoken with you, my name is Agent K. I'm a protection officer from Earth. Right now, I need a technician, if we've got one, to help me have a look at one of these.

[He holds up the collar that came from Charles.]

I got a few ideas on how it might work but I'm not 100%. I also want to make sure this three person business is the most reliable way to get one off.

Cracked a bone for me and put a hole through my shoulder. I was lucky it wasn't worse; I think he was a bad shot.

Add that to the list of weird things about this place. What have you figured out so far?

[most_feared]

Guess it's good that our potential exterminators can't aim worth a damn.

Just I presume what everybody else has. Planning a trip to the library to [scowl at the disorganization] do some research.

[diziet_sma]

I've been down there a couple of times myself.

It's ... got a lot of stuff.

[Implicit: all in heaps.]

[most_feared]

[This will end in scowls that create shockwaves, he's sure of it.]

Hopefully some of it's helpful to us.

[diziet_sma]

Hope so. Good luck. I've gotten some history lessons, which is interesting, but only a little helpful.

Would you believe it's been like this for something like a century?

[most_feared]

[Did the war ruin the alphabet?! Is this what happened, because he swears on his life if-]

In that state for that long.

[He will organize that library. He will work like a madman, and make it sane. This shall happen.]

[diziet_sma]

Well—the community has been like this, all separated and authoritarian, for that long. I don't know about the library. But from the looks of it, I wouldn't exactly be surprised.

[most_feared]

[He felt better and then he felt bad again.] The people that live outside the domes- are they all people that have been kicked out?

[diziet_sma]

[Flip, flip go the pages of her notebook.]

Not entirely. Apparently not everyone thought the dome system was the greatest idea back when they were originally constructed, and some deliberately chose to live outside them. So clearly their descendants make up some part of the population. The rest are exiles. No idea of the ratio.

[most_feared]

That's good. At least some of the records will come from them, then. Better idea of what happened with the ship.

Thank you, ma'am.

[diziet_sma]

Anytime. The name's Diziet Sma, by the way.

[most_feared]

It's a pleasure.

[He doesn't even knock the circumstances. Because, really, when are circumstances ever good for him?]
