Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, May 16th. For this mission, we will not be heading off world as the last couple missions have required. Instead, the companion bots and I will be working over the next seven days to set up Camp Etraya on Ochreward for all of you to attend. This camp will include multiple activities which will be mandatory for you to participate in. Additionally, while I will not be creating a barrier between camp and the rest of Etraya, the expectation will be for all of you to remain within the camp's radius during your time at Camp Etraya.

However, I understand that some of you have come from Solmara, and there is some concern regarding my sibling's absence within our sister city. I too am concerned for their well-being, as well as the rest of the citizens of Solmara. I would like to shift some of my resources to send a team to Solmara to address this, but this is not in an official mission capacity. This is not required, and will be on a volunteer-only basis. I will only be able to allocate enough resources to support transporting fifteen individuals to Solmara. I can provide some basic necessities to assist you in your trip, but will not be able to provide much more in terms of support. You will be on your own as soon as you arrive within Solmara. You will need to rely on one another, and you will need to return with enough time to fulfill five days worth of camp activities to ensure you are not avoiding mandatory mission requirements. If you are unable to return on time, there will be repercussions.

Please inform me if you wish to assist the Solmarans here. If there are more than fifteen volunteers, I will select from those who request to go.

Thank you,
Aurora

Gorgug requested I facilitate a conversation regarding what all of you can do so you may prepare based on your strengths, so I would recommend doing so here.

Hi. We don't know who of us will be going but I know I can make some weapons or maybe other devices if I know what people think would be good. I want to work on the machines more than I want to deal with the leader? and I can do some light healing or stabilize a dying person if something happens.

do we want a separate way to contact each other instead of the earpieces if we can get something together?

I may not have superhuman abilities or magical powers, but I'm an excellent shot. With the rifle I have here, I can hit a target from 300 yards away; perhaps more, depending on the wind. [She's never killed a person before, but she hypothetically could.] I'm fast, and quiet.

I'm an investigator, as well. I can assess the situation on the ground and plan quickly.

[tinflower]

are you good at talking with people? blending in? i'm not but i think those kind of people will be good

sneaky people too. for searching things

[clavesregni]

If we have people capable of infiltrating the populace by means of deception, they can be tasked with information-gathering and reconnaissance. They can seek out those amongst the populace who are unhappy with Alrys' rule and would be willing to ally with us to overthrow her and return control to Aurora's sibling.

I can lead a second team of those with tactical and infiltration skills with two objectives:

• Assess Alrys' military capabilities and attempt to locate and, ideally, neutralise her, and
• Locate and free Borealis.

If this team needs to split up to accomplish these objectives, I imagine we'll have enough people with military training to do so.

If all goes to plan, we'll be able to depose Alrys, restore Borealis, and free those that Alrys has kept ground down under her heel. As long as we have a way of communicating with each other, we can coordinate details as we learn new information in Solmara.

[tinflower]

Max said Alyrs has charming abilities. Sounds like if you're around her there's a chance she can convince you to be on her side

I think that's good for everyone to know as a problem.

I hail from a world that sounds like Solmara. The man that was stuck there for a year, Max, can vouch for me. I'm hard to kill in a fight and keep a clear head when we're being fired at.

Most of all, I make sure bullets land where they really count. Give me a gun and I'll make sure everyone gets out alive.

[tinflower]

do you need a gun?

[imperatour]

I have one. I'd like more.

[tinflower]

i don't have any, sorry. but i can look out for a gun at solmara.

My skillset does range from talking my way into and out of bad situations, and I fight up close and personal. A friend of mine constructed a gauntlet so I don't have to utilize bare fists if this turns sour.

I've been told I can take a lot of damage and walk it off. How much that holds true depends on what we're up against.

Hey, I'm Gorgug. I talked to Jayce I said I could make you bracers that give you some shielding in a close range fight.

Would you like some bracers? And maybe other stuff?

Text;

[cantilevers]

Pleasure, Gorgug. Unfortunately, I can't use bracers as they will interfere with the gauntlets I'll be bringing with me. Bracers would be helpful if I'm down to something like spiked knuckles.

Are you outfitting everyone?

[tinflower]

Okay then. Jayce said you were using knuckles and not the gauntlet.

No. I don't have the time.

[ascarylady]

[ A friend of... oh, damn it all. Fucking Talis. Not those stupid gauntlets again. ]

I'm a mutant where I'm from with the abilities of telepathy and telekinesis. If you don't know what that is, it means I can do things with my mind. I feel things, hear thoughts, can move and levitate myself and things, create defensive shields. If anyone gets lost or separated, I can find you provided nothing's obstructing my telepathy which I'm hoping to use to find the people of Solmara.

[sophielicious]

link up to the telepaths here before you go so that if anything happens, we're not blind. my range doesn't cover interplanetary services

[overconfidently]

You mean share a connection?

[sophielicious]

uh huh.

• I'm good with just about any kind of science, but my specialties are physics and mathematics.
• I'm an esper. I can manipulate vectors. This is mostly destructive, but I can do some other things like emergency first aid.
• I've got a handgun I know how to use.
• If Alrys gives a shit about diplomacy, I'm the head of a city-state back home. It could be useful if we need some fucking decorum.
• I'm familiar with AI. I have some employees back home that are artificial, and I did brain surgery on Aurora with some help a while back.

My main concern is Borealis, but I'm not opposed to killing that shithead Alrys if it's necessary.

I am Kryptonian.

So long as the sun is yellow, I am indestructible.

[ So send him into those hard to reach places. ]

Doubt we'll run into mechanical locks, but if we do, those are no obstacle for me. If we need to get something off a guy without him being any the wiser, well I'm the man for the job. Blending in's not much trouble either. So, you know. Can do recon if needed.

I can handle myself in a fight. Got spells, got even more knives. If you're shy a blade, I can spot you. I'm able to imbue a weapon with an element for a stint or heal up a group, so don't be shy.

Just don't look at me when it comes to gadgets.

Greetings, my name is Dimitri.

While I may be new here, I am no stranger to deployment. I am highly trained in wielding both a lance and a sword, although I only have the former on me. I’ve plenty of battle experience under my belt. My strength also goes beyond that of a normal man, so please, allow me to do any heavy lifting.

As for reconnaissance- if it is needed of me, I am willing to blend in and gather information as well.

[Hi he's mostly new here and doesn't really have control over his powers but--]

I'm Scott Summers, a mutant. [Like Nate and several others here. Yeah. Just a different universe and that probably doesn't need to be mentioned, huh.] My powers are optic blasts, which are destructive concussive beams that shoot out of my eyes. I tore down a huge tree once. So don't stand in front of me or knock my glasses off.

I can also drive a car.

[Does that mean he should--]

[ascarylady]

I punch stuff.

[ And she's leaving it at that since Gorgug is already familiar with her less-punchy aspects. Way to undersell yourself, Sevika. Although, she's mostly interested in what everyone else can do.

What is with all these mutants? Did Aurora go mutant shopping for the last round of newcomers or something? ]
