how many people need a primer on survivalism for this mission?
general headcount and identifications would be useful, so others can keep an eye out for you also, once we're in.

( to be helped, of course. )

gathering some info on this already, so I'll edit a bit later to add a basic guide below.

this is a great idea! i don't really need the primer but i'd love to help keep an eye out for people if they need it

[counterstep]

( give him a moment as he tries to decide if the username geraniums aptly describes someone who knows how to survive in the wild or just likes picking flowers. the real answer is neither of these, of course. )

should we make a list of people who are willing to help too? that way anyone who ends up having a little trouble will know their options also

I expect communications on this network will still work, but I doubt the maps will work anymore, since that'd just defeat the whole purpose of the labyrinth being what it is

[rootlessly]

[He would love to pick flowers if there were flowers to pick, tbf. Desert planet problems.]

i think that would be really helpful, especially since we're from all sorts of places and have different kinds of skills.

...not that i have anything specific to offer skillwise, haha

[Says the exceptionally skilled gunslinger,,,]

but i am fast and have a lot of endurance, so i figure i could help out if people end up lost or in trouble

[counterstep]

( is a plant picking a plant considered plant homocide? sources would like to know. )

you just implied you were skilled in survivalism though
wouldn't that be pretty specific enough, in this case?

I'm of a similar brand, so that was my plan also

are you a soldier?

[rootlessly]

i guess that's true enough!

[don't call him out on his self-effacing, gosh.]

i just didn't want anyone to think there was much more i knew how to do than not get killed, is all

but no, nothing like that
my planet just tends to be pretty rough

[Survival on it is hard already, so you know. He's so normal about needing to somehow prove that it deserves not to be destroyed. So hinged and fine about it.]

[counterstep]

I'd say knowing how to not get killed is a pretty specific and good skill to have also
given that I don't think most people know how to 'not get killed' as a basis

you'd be horrified what the average person on my world gets up to, by that measure

( hell, even bucky can't help but wonder how the human race has survived so long sometimes. )

rough in which sense? the planet itself? or the people?

[rootlessly]

[ahaha. haha. ha.

there's...honestly not a lot left under the sun to horrify vash at this point, not that he's going to say so. Instead, have this extreme understatement:]

people are very reckless where you're from, huh?
sounds stressful, haha

and it's a little bit of both, i think
you could say the second ties into the first
