Hi everyone! So, um, I've found out some stuff and... made some stuff up and Zatanna and I had a thought about something. ...I'll keep the stuff I made up and the stuff I found out separate.

The big thing I guess is that if everything goes like it's supposed to, the ships people are working on should be up and flying within a few days. There's a Tachyon storm coming and so everyone needs to get off planet. The thought we had is that we didn't know if the network would still connect us all if we're on different ships? If there's a range to how far we can be before the network stops working for everyone. I don't know if that'll happen or not, but if it does then we figured it would be better for us all to be prepared for the idea rather than freak out when it's cut off.

Um, other stuff... yeah, so, this world is connected to Questing Country. Hecatites and Gorgons are both a thing here- so far I've seen Charoite, Luci, and Kore but there might be more wandering around. There are also Diabolins, and apparently they used to have a history of kidnapping people from pre-space flight species, so if you want to claim to be from something like that you could. Earth is the human homeworld, but apparently they only got into space recently. Or, at least this far in to space. Ships crash here a lot, too, so that's a good excuse for being here. Otherwise everyone is like exiled or imprisoned here, unless they're born here. Everyone except humans throw people here as punishment, apparently. There are weird fire worms that eat metal away from the town... oh! And whoever Kanji is Infiltrating as is an astronomer who's watching the storm. If anyone knows anything about that kind of stuff, I think he could use some help.

[aaaand now for the stuff Phillip made up, where his voice sounds distinctly more sheepish.]

Also, if anyone needs a cover story, I kind of made up a species so I wouldn't have to deal with not knowing anything about what Earth is like at this point. I can probably add more things to it to cover random Traveler stuff- I might say we can telepathically communicate with each other so we could use the network and things- so if anyone wants to use, it let me know and I'll figure out how to try and make it plausible.

A fair point. Though most of the people I have observed, Travelers or otherwise, seem more interested in getting off the planet than in scrutinizing new arrivals. Caution is warranted, but I doubt anyone will have time to try connecting dots they are unaware even exist in the first place.

It will help if we don't actually present ourselves as a group.

[He doesn't see much need for worry, but that's no reason to be incautious, especially considering the rough and lawless population of the planet.]

I presume your cover story only accounts for human-seeming Travelers?

It may be more useful to leave it as-is. I and at least one other Traveler have appeared without the usual human guise... If we can present ourselves as members of different alien species, it may make us less conspicuous as a group. And we may stand a better chance of overhearing any untoward rumors about the rest of you, if they believe we are not affiliated with your cover species.

That is settled, then. Are there any other concerns about this Jaunt? Beyond the obvious, that is.

Ho ho ho, quite so. I have no desire to be stuck on this planet when the storm's source arrives.
