[arora]

Hello, citizens of Etraya.

I hope you are making yourselves at home.

Thank you for participating in our bonding activities during the previous mission. Your willingness to get to know one another is admirable and you should all give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. We hope you've come away with both the satisfaction of a job well done and maybe a new friend.

Your second mission will be a team exercise and will begin in four days.

You will enter the Labyrinth that has appeared outside of the city dome. As the Labyrinth is meant to be a challenge one person cannot overtake alone, some of you may find that your extraordinary abilities are affected to some degree, ensuring you will not fly through the challenge in a wink. Teamwork is necessary and the Labyrinth itself will be making sure everyone is working together.

If you have brought any animal companions with you, you may choose to bring them into the Labyrinth or leave them in my care. Please note for the duration of the mission, the city will not be inhabitable by those who require oxygen to breathe. Please do not leave any companions behind in apartment buildings.

If you have any questions, please ask them now.

Thank you,
Aurora

this is unrelated to the whole weird competition thing.

or at least this one.

what happens if we win but we don't want to go back to our universe?

[arora]

Then I will find space for you.

[redheadcarrier]

Oh.

Where?

[arora]

I cannot answer that now. I will tell you when that answer changes.

[redheadcarrier]

well

okay then.

[arora]

I'm sorry for the disappointment, but I don't want to give you an answer that is untrue.

Do you have any other questions?

[redheadcarrier]

no that's it.

just curious.

[arora]

Good luck with your mission, Asuka Langley Soryu.

[redheadcarrier]

uh

thanks?

Can we trade points for a perfect resurrection?

[arora]

I will note your suggestion and get back to you on it.

[neverleave]

Thank you.

In that case, I would like to make another suggestion: if a person doesn't have enough points at the time of their death, but earn more at a later time, will you consider restoring what was taken in exchange?

[arora]

This suggestion is noted as well. I will consider it.

[neverleave]

Appreciate it. Do you need to discuss it with Echo?

[arora]

I do.

[neverleave]

Okay.

In the last place I've been to, revival has a price if our death was "stupid" and not entertaining enough. Can you tell me why we pay a price here?

[arora]

All things comes with a price.

What sort of atmosphere can we expect in this labyrinth?

Will basic necessities (food, clean water, shelter) be provided, or must we fend for ourselves by living off the land?

[arora]

The same atmosphere as within the city dome, as close to Earth as I can manage, though I cannot promise it will remain as stable the longer you stay within the Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth will not be devoid of supplies, although you may wish to bring some of your own.

[agoddessonce]

Will such supplies be easily accessible?

[ She's not too worried about resources for herself - but hopefully others can fend for themselves well enough. Maybe she'll go into this with the mindset of stocking up when she can find things, to share...

But the issue of stability derails her thoughts. Were the people in charge here having issues? ]

If you and Echo are having trouble keeping a breathable atmosphere stable and comfortable, may I offer my assistance?

[arora]

They will be available.

While you are in the Labyrinth I will be renovating the city dome to make more space for the influx of new citizens. I am redistributing resources to the Labyrinth to make the process more efficient. You will be safe within Labyrinth.

[agoddessonce]

Available is not the same as accessible, Ms. Aurora.

I would like to ensure the latter for clean and potable water at least, by providing it myself to as many people as possible. If possible, perhaps by scheduling some non-disruptive rain for everyone who may not have found water during their time in the maze. I hope this aligns with the terms of your challenge. [ Mostly because she's not prepared for Aurora to say no to her. ]

I thank you for ensuring that the city will be comfortable for the influx of new citizens, but that may not amount to much if the very same citizens are not well in the interim.

[arora]

I think the other citizens will appreciate your help within the Labyrinth, Ororo Munroe.

[agoddessonce]

[ Well. It's not a "no don't do it", so... ]

I hope so.

By "making more space" do you mean to say that the city's barrier will be expanded?

[arora]

I am renovating.
