Please complete the below survey regarding possible enhancements to our communication devices and network system. I will be working with Aurora to make these upgrades.

I may or may not respond to comments. Thank you.

Edit: Additional features being considered based on feedback that were not in the poll include: (1) ease of use features for those less familiar with technology, (2) Wikipedia or an equivalent, (3) banning specific users from personal posts or communications.

Edit 2: Adding (4) storage and sharing for image, audio and video files, primarily for entertainment or educational purposes and (5) expansion of the library to include digital lending of those materials.

But don’t people already do that on this network, the missions and whatever activities they set up around this place?

Yes, it would be quite superfluous, but I like to imagine we can strive for more than survival and battle readiness during our stay.

In that case, do you have something in mind that can bring others up to speed to whatever's going on right now? Not everyone in Etraya has the same knowledge of what’s to come around this world.

I'm going to suggest adding a program to the companion bots to that end. Thank you for the input.

No problem, but what exactly do you mean by "program"?
