This is Sierra One-One-Seven seeking any members of the UNSC. Please respond.

[ Given how far-reaching they are, it's hard for John to imagine someone not having heard of the UNSC or the Covenant. It leads him to the same conclusion: that they come from different places. ]

We must. How long have you been here?

[wickedprayers]

Not long. I've only just arrived this month. I'm still learning my way around all of the...eccentricities of this place.

[ Like the concept of multiple versions of earth, or whole galaxies. That tends to force a man to reconsider his perspective on some matters. ]

[bornlucky]

Then we're in the same situation.

[ John, too, only arrived this month. He's used to winging it, sure. But usually, 'winging it' doesn't involve quite so many unknowns—hence the call for fellow members of the UNSC. ]

[wickedprayers]

It would appear so.

[ Thane would be lying if he said he wasn't completely out of his depth. Though he might be more accepting of his situation than most. ]

I find exploration to be helpful in learning more about this place. How it works. There is a logic to everything, even if it seems nonsensical at first.

[bornlucky]

Any recommendations on where to begin?

[ He's already hit the Welcome Center and the Spring Guild. ]

The segments seem to hold unexplored territory that may be worth investigation. Dangerous, though. I would advise against going alone, even if you are experienced.

Though last time I ventured out to one of them the only thing we found were birds. And eggs.

[ They were probably lucky. ]

[bornlucky]

What kind of eggs?

[wickedprayers]

Bird eggs. Mine just hatched recently. It's...a rainbow bird. And quite large.

Thankfully, not a threat. In fact, they have healing properties, according to the research center in Nightwake.

[bornlucky]

Interesting. They're native to this place?
