[Thanks to her communicator manifesting as an omni-tool, Ashley does head and shoulders selfies from her forearm. This particular one is in front of what had been a grocery store before she left but is now a shoe shop. Cool, timey wimey problems, cool.

[Those who have met her before may notice she has a new jacket, and not one sold in the stores around here.]

Hey - Commander Ashley Williams here. [And those who have met her before may also notice she's had a promotion. One that she looks briefly embarrassed to mention, now that she remembers it doesn't matter here, but moving on.] After the trip a lot of us had into the QZ, I'm thinking we could all use a morale boost. And we should definitely celebrate a successful mission and everyone coming back. [From the dead, mostly, but hey.]

So: Victory party, in the gardens on Salvation, next Saturday. Maybe that will be enough time for the tech heads to give us all some good news about their work as well. You can come even if you didn't come on the trip - this is everyone's fight. Bring food. I'm gonna see if I can find a grill.

... after I find the grocery store.

Williams, out.

tiptoeing

[Bruce is taking a rare break in Tony and Pepper's apartment, helping himself to a cup of tea in the kitchen. There are a bunch of notes spread out on the table, so it's not a real break, but it's as close as he gets.]

Before I...disappeared, I offered to lecture on various topics that might be useful to people here, regardless of where or when they come from. I used to teach physics several years ago, but I could also cover things like engineering, first aid, gardening, chemistry and biology, etc. Whatever you'd like to learn about. And obviously I don't know everything, so people would be welcome to do lectures of their own.

[Locked to Pepper and Tony]

Sorry I haven't managed to find a new place yet; it's still on my list of things to do. Maybe before I leave next weekend...Bones and I are going to offer medical assistance to the bandits, so maybe they won't feel the need to raid the hospital.

[Locked to Wes]

I might have a solution for your satellite problem.

cantcatchme

I finally see what you all were talking about with the whole waking up on the ship thing.

[Pietro looks tense, but he's dressed, at least. However, the uniform is unfamiliar. He's clearly still inside the ship.]

But can someone tell me why my powers aren't working?!

[His voice climbs a few octaves closer to panic at the end.]

iwanttosettheworldonfire

[The camera is pointed lazily and a bit off-center at Indrani, pinned to her favorite chair by the much too large and ugly dog who has never believed he doesn't fit in laps.]

So running a thought by everyone. Shouldn't we write ourselves up a guide for newcomers? More efficient than everybody just jumping in with their version of important advice. We could print them up and leave them on the ship, plus a few back here for people who run. Which dinosaurs will kill you, where stuff is, where not to go if you don't feel like being shot at. My friend Moira and I made up a whole book like that at home, and it was just the two of us. Seems like this should be easy.

captainpapabear

[A man in a blue uniform coat with a ridiculously high stiff collar appears. His expression is grim under an abundant mess of brown hair peeking from under the large front-brimmed hat he has jammed onto his head.]

This is Captain Bulge of Sirius Platoon. If anyone in the SDF can hear me, please respond. I don't know yet where I am, and I need to know what happened. Did the Alfort forces retreat? Is Destiny safe?

This is very important. I have no idea where I am, except that it's not one of our trains. I may be in an enemy ship. If-if that's the case, then if anyone in the SDF gets this transmission, leave me. It isn't worth a rescue. I know what to do if the situation is that hopeless.

[A pause, because it isn't usually in the course of his duty he has to offer to commit suicide if necessary. He looks around again, and the background shows he is still on Salvation, although its obvious not something he recognizes. After another grimace and frown, he turns back to the device.]

I have reason to believe that I may be somewhere else entirely. It's far too quiet here to be still in battle.

I've been prepared to give my life to the Railways for years, but I don't want to waste it. Yu-Manabu, one of your damned insubordinate rescue attempts would be welcome about now, so long as I'm not on an Alfort ship. The rest of you, David especially, you'd better take care of Big One. I'm counting on you, too. Save Destiny and the Railways and get your butts home.

Somebody please respond. Come in, SDF headquarters.

writeswrongs

[The man on your video screen is wearing a tux. He's not James Bond though.

In fact he's a writer from New York City, who was on his way to get married (for the third time) when he blacked out while driving and woke up in a pod. It was by far the oddest experience he's ever had, and Richard Castle has had many odd experiences. At first he thought he was in some kind of government facility, that the SUV with the black out windows that had been tailing him had put him here where some kind of weird experiments happened. Waking up in a pod in your boxers is enough to throw anyone. He'd put on the clothes he'd been wearing, found in the footlocker next to the pod and managed to locate the rest of his stuff. His cell phone was deader than dead, of course, so he couldn't call Kate. It seemed, other than the creepy pods filled with what looked to be people, nobody was around keeping him in one place. He wasn't a prisoner, so he decided to explore.

Stepping out of the hatch, he observed a completely different world. It was not New York. It was possibly not even Earth.]

Uh. I take it this isn't the Hamptons?

[What the hell has he gotten himself into now?]

theverymodel

Some measure of calm restored. Time to discuss matter of recent excursion.

[He does have priorities, after all. THere had been a lot of injuries to treat and the residents of Poseidon had generally been preoccupied. None of it is over, but it's at least a bit quieter right now.

Quiet enough to bring the topic up.]

Many from ship and otherwise possess unusual technology. Precautions should be taken in case of disappearance. Don't want more mystery devices falling into unwitting hands.

possessed_mage

Anyone else interested in going on a little trip? I'm planning on visiting Ceres to see what's going on--you know, if people really are sprouting tails and dissolving.

Anyone else interested?

Preferably someone who can operate something called a 'vehicle', as Dr. Solus informs me that walking to Ceres is not preferable.

possessed_mage

[Anders switches on the comm, having either figured it out or asked someone to show him how to make the moving pictures appear.]

Does anyone happen to have any samples or intact specimens of the bone creatures? I understand Dr. Solus was making inquiries? Have you had any luck?

theverymodel

[Mordin is deep in thought as he switches the communictor on. Which may worry a few people. For some reason.]

Interested in studying dopplegangers. Would appreciate samples. Preferably already deceased.

[He could probably be convinced to help make the dopplegangers dead. But it would be easier if they already were.]

theverymodel

[Matters have calmed somewhat at the hospital now that the bone fiend infections have all run their unfortunate course.]

Certain issues recently apparent. Authority to make medical decisions often unclear.

[Yes, Shepards, he means the fact that no one is sure which of you gets to authorize autopsies on your crew actually]

Requesting clarification from all non-Verdana natives. Designation of authority in case of incapacitation.

[And because what is death.]

Also stance on post-mortem examination if circumstances unusual.

whoneedslegstofly

Right so. The first time this happened? It sucked but, you know, there was a reason. But I also didn't wake up in a stasis pod; just ended up on an unfamiliar planet.

So whoever thought this was a fun joke? It's not.

[Someone doesn't sound thrilled. At all. In fact, he sounds a cross between tired and pissed off and looks it too.

He's leaning up against something, his legs not really wanting to work for him at the moment as he tries to get his bearings.]

Someone send Cortez down here to get me. Now.

((ooc: yeah so...

loveshishammer

[A friendly godling pops up on the network Tuesday evening, looking a bit hopeful and expectant, both.]

So, my friends! I and some few others have visited a place the locals are calling dead, and we have brought back some items that... I fear I am not qualified to really examine properly. I can make nothing useful of them.

Would there be anyone among our number who could examine these things, here?

[Thor turns the camera on his communicator away from himself, and to the items he brought back: a mummified, dessicated deer corpse which is thankfully not looking like it's decaying further; a few bottles of dirt and dead leaves; and sketches and printed-out photos of the area. While showing these things to his audience, Thor keeps talking:]

I have been returning as often as I can, to track the growth of the deadness, but have other obligations and I can only visit once or twice a day. If there are any others who would have the time and inclination, I can give directions. And warnings. It is a ways away, and it may be dangerous.

Please contact me. I will have my communicator with me all evening.

verbose_evoker

[There's a purple-haired, robe-clad elven ~~man~~ ~~woman~~ elf tapping at the video screen as if they only had a vague idea of how the communicator was supposed to work. After a moment, they set it down on the ground near their feet, camera facing upwards. The ship, as background, is recognizeable with all the video movement. The elf looks down upon the communicator, looking not particularly happy.]

Probability, on some level, has at least failed in one of its repeated and oft-fantastically-sucessful attempts to throw me into a pit of inconvenience. And yet I can only imagine that this object's activation will only lead to deeper such holes.

[The elf facepalms, apparently taking a moment to think.]

I am indeed aware of this being some sort of recieving and transmitting device, before one makes the assumption that I am speaking to myself. I lack my familiar presently, so it would serve no purpose regardless. I request information, to fix my absence of knowledge regarding this environment. It appears to be Screened against any divination, leaving conventional information requests my immediate recourse. Though if one desired to make things this difficult, one could have not stored my component pouch and spellbook in such an easily-accessible area and been done with it.

[They throw their hands into the air, frustrated.]

To be blunt and repetitive, though the situation somewhat calls for it: Where am I and how would one leave?

[To think this could be escaped with a Plane Shift or (less likely) Greater Teleport, but, well, Conjuration...]

theverymodel

[Mordin is sitting at his desk, with a variety of objects including slender fruit. For anyone familiar with reading salarian faces, he looks quite serious.]

Need for contraceptive review has become apparent. Several local options currently available. Significant improvement over previous situation.

[He holds up a packet]

Hormonal regulation now viable. Highly effective but not suited to short term encounters.

[And thus the condom and the fruit come out]

Barrier methods superior for casual contact. Prevent disease in addition to pregnancy. Can review proper application as needed.

Expect all to take reasonable precautions. Also have pamphlets available. Do not wish to hear of rhythm or withdrawal.

femshep

[ The camera switches on, turning left and right briefly--she's looking the device over, because if she remembers right, she left hers in the dome and fuck if she'd ever get that back--then it focuses on a face. She looks... like she's seen better days, let's say. Shepard may have left her injuries on the Crucible, but she sure as hell feels like she came out on the wrong end of this one. ]

This is Commander Shepard of the SSV Normandy SR-2. [ But it's flat, a forced formality.

This is the part where she asks if anyone reads her, asks for a status update, asks someone to put her the fuck back in that pod so at least she knows how it ends... No. None of that's going to happen. She settles for a slightly (just slightly) more emphatic: ] Somebody tell me how long I've been out.

[ Because somebody has to recognize her. ....Right?

Some of those who don't might at least recognize the distinct OA-fashioned collar around her neck. Y'know, from back when they were the things that go bump in the night.

Shepard doesn't wait around long after the camera's turned off, though. She's heading for the mouth of the ship to see if that'll give her a good reading... ]

fromthevalley

[ Helga Hufflepuff is finding the communicators to be an incredibly useful tool. She finds it a bit like addressing a classroom, almost. Much more manageable than a magic mirror and less messy than an owl. However, she does have the translate feature on. There is bound to be a language barrier of some kind when one is from the distant past. ]

Hello. For those that I have yet to meet, my name is Helga Hufflepuff.

[ She is currently seated by a wide but shallow stream and a large rock that the water has made mostly flat. She has the communicator set up on a flat rock a foot away so that it might capture her movements. There is a knife, a small reed basket filled with purple and tawny colored stalks. There is also a two pieces of white cloth on the rock, one looks used. Helga does not have a table but this will suit her purposes nicely. ]

This...

[ She holds up a lilac colored mushroom. ]

Is a bluestalk mushroom. It is commonly found in forests and you may eat it, however, I do caution against eating it uncooked. It can disagree with one's stomach.

[ Yes, this is a bit of a lesson but there is a purpose. ]

I am surprised to find them here. However, I must urge a bit of caution when picking this mushroom. To begin with, it looks similar to other, more deadly mushrooms. Bluestalks have a sweet, almost floral fragrance. More mature specimens, will be darker in color.

[ She shows one. ]

Their cap will be flatter. Lighter colors and a more conical shape cap indicate a much younger mushroom. I have not found that age makes a difference in taste.

Until you are very certain about what mushrooms you have harvested, you will want to check its pattern. Parchment is best but clothe will work as well. Cut the mushroom in half and press into the cloth. You must leave it for several hours, I find it best to leave it overnight. Do not worry about the edibility. This short time will not effect it.

[ Helga picks up the white piece of cloth and moves it closer to her. She spreads it to ensure that it is flat before picking up her knife.She slices a mushroom in half and presses it into the fabric. ]

I have done one ahead of time to show you that a bluestalk mushroom's pattern will be almost white in color to varying shades of pink.

[ She reaches for the second piece of fabric and holds it up to display the spore pattern. ]

If the pattern is any other color, do not eat it! That is not a bluestalk and you will be extremely regretful. However, it is entirely possible that you found a mushroom that produces a very lovely green dye.

[ A silver-lining that is not poison, Helga has found it.

She puts aside the cloth and mushrooms before addressing the communicator properly. ]

I do not wish to boast but in my time, I was something of a merchant and a teacher. I know quite a bit on the subject of herbology and what I wish to propose now is something of a trade. Your knowledge for mine. This place is new. I need to know more about the native animals and plantlife that make up this world. Herbology is not my only skill. I can heal. I can mend.

[ She smiles. ]

Thank you.

theverymodel

[Mordin is at the hospital labs and deep in thought]

Has come to attention that many humans here not from Earth. Scientific implications fascinating. New level of convergent evolution.

Would like to study genetic sequence of non-Earth human. Also curious about mutants and X Gene. Requesting volunteers to provide samples.

tiptoeing

[Bruce is sitting at a small kitchen table in his house, which is much nicer than his last one. It's small and simply decorated, thankfully, but living somewhere with things like heat, electricity and running water is a little weird. Of course, he was used to going without some, or even all of those things even before Verdana.

There's a pile of papers in front of him: messy notes on information he's gathered from various people and library books. He's wearing his glasses and a professor-like outfit, and is also enjoying a cup of tea.]

For those who know me and haven't seen me yet...well. I'm awake, obviously. I've already been filled in on what happened, but I'd like to know who's still here and how things have changed for you.

I've found my house in this timeline, but I'm not sure if finding out where I worked before would even be worthwhile, considering my absence. I would, however, like to help out on the ship and in the hospital again, if possible.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner. I've been in a pod for the past two and a half months, but I was here prior to that. My skill set includes nuclear physics, biochemistry, medicine, engineering, and various languages. If you need help in any of those areas, feel free to contact me.
