PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

Do you have warnings for missions or, do they just happen?

[badlydisarmed]

We get an announcement on the network, just like you do here, but we don't get to ask any questions.

[shadowsincryo]

Through Alrys, I assume?

[badlydisarmed]

No, Alrys has her own shit going. The AI to Echo communication seems to still be going on, and the whole missions to save our home worlds is still going.

Life in-between them just sucks.

[shadowsincryo]

I see.

Thank you for your cooperation. This has been a very enlightening conversation.

One last question. What things are beyond Alrys’s control? Other than announcements.

[badlydisarmed]

She has no control over arrivals or missions. She takes the supplies, but has no control over quantities.

And obviously she's not great at predicting behavior once people are out of her sphere of influence.

[shadowsincryo]

So it seems, welcome to the fold.

[ He spends a while trying to decide if that's an earnest message. He thinks it is which ???? ]

Thanks. Let's hope it lasts.

[This text business is interesting. Context is sometimes lost. His flippant attitude at times is definitely harder to read.]
Let’s hope it does. For transparency sake - you confirmed what Aurora told me. And something I suspected.

I’m looking into what we’ve ended up in. Aurora mentioned sister cities too.

[badlydisarmed]

Aurora seems to be as honest as she's allowed to be.

[shadowsincryo]

She does. I think she’s telling the truth. The more I discover the shape of the system Echo set up; the more sure of it I am.

[badlydisarmed]

Yeah, Solmara is... well, the mission schedule is similar. I assume the place was similar to this one before Alrys took over.

[shadowsincryo]

From what Aurora said, it sounds like each of these cities have a basic framework. But I just got here. I only know what I’ve heard from her and the others.
