If any of you have important information you want to share, Aurora made space for us to set up a data repository. It's for data, not inane crap like selfies, so don't bother trying to fill it up with garbage. Sunday is going to be running it, with Finch doing the back end stuff, so don't waste their time.

If you have any questions about it, Sunday will be around to answer them. We can dump data from the upcoming mission into it, so keep that in mind when you're collecting it.

If any of you fuckers have those suspicious diary entries then you can share it using the repository. I'm talking about the ones that are dated with really complex mathematical calculations on the back. Don't keep that shit to yourself, it might be the proof we need that Echo isn't just fucking with all of us. I can't overstate how important this is, some of us have been here over a year and we're still skeptical. From what I've seen of the math it looks really fucking promising.

((Details and depositing can be found over here! Both Sunday and Accelerator will be responding to this post. Sunday will be a lot kinder to people!))

If it isn't my favorite Etrayan showing up to be a standup member of society. It is always such a pleasure to see your name come across the network.

I am attaching an image of Echo's diary page Lord Rosfield, Bahamut, and I received from the interloper. Do with it as you will.

[Give him a minute, he wants to break his earpiece as soon as Sleipnir's message comes in. Even worse is the guy being helpful -- this would be a lot easier if he was just being an asshole.]

I'm not even going to pretend I can say the same about you, bastard.

[Sleipnir does not deserve the effort needed for sarcasm. In fact, his next text comes grudgingly.]

That page will get added so everyone can access it.

[ Haha, Sleipnir already had his moment of intense emotion at seeing Accelerator’s post so his response come quick. ]

Manners, Accelerator. If you’re going to play at being a man you should learn them. But don’t worry, I didn’t expect any better from you.

[God, is he getting scolded??? He hates this.]

Don't fucking tell me how to act. You aren't any better, and you know it.

[ Oh, so we have graduated from bastard to fucking? The escalation is a win. ]

» Your anger drives you to be impetuous. If one were to review our conversation it would be easy to see whom has behaved with a cretinous demeanor.

[He's going to have to go break things later.]

Just because you're pretending to be civil here doesn't mean you are. At least I'm upfront about being a complete asshole.

» What a foolish thing to be proud of.

[ That’s ok. Sleipnir’s own mind is going to be stuck on a loop for the next few hours because Accelerator still lives in his head rent free. ]

It isn't pride, you piece of shit.

[Today is a good day to spiral!]

» And yet you continue to carry on in such a manner. Be it a compulsion? Are you a slave to your more basic desires?

» Poor pitiable Accelerator. Worry you not, I’m sure even you are capable of change.

[ Sleipnir does not believe that. ]

Edited 2026-01-13 15:56 (UTC)

It isn't any of your fucking business why I act the way I do.

Yeah, right. Like anyone would think you actually believe that.

[That's bullshit, Sleipnir! Total bullshit.]

» You will forgive me, but I disagree for multiple reasons. The first of which being how acutely you brought your behavior to my attentions. I am, of course, speaking of our convivial first meeting.

» Maybe!

» But that would be unimaginative of them.

[Is that sparkly text? Who the hell taught this guy how to use sparkly text?]

Oh, fuck off.

And the sparkletext isn't endearing. It's childish.

Believe you the intention is to endear myself to you? How...adorable.

[Sunday cuts in with audio. His voice is sharp, commanding...]

Users SleepNear and Accelerator: Stop it.

[Would 'he started it' be too childish?

.................... Probably.]

Ugh. Whatever.

[ A lilting Scandinavian-like accent floats through the speaker. ]

You will excuse the digression. May the diary page prove useful to us all.

Don't judge, but what's a data repository?

Too late.

It's a centralized place to store, share and find different kinds of information. Academics use this kind of thing when they're doing research, either because they're required to in order to get published, or for the public good.

Thats barely judging, if it counts at all. You told me what it was without making me feel like an idiot.

I thought it was going to be numbers and statistics, but this is more like a curated library?

Judging someone shouldn't stop me from giving information, especially useful information.

Sort of, I guess. A lot of it is usually numbers, especially in the hard sciences, but it doesn't have to be. It's whatever an academic field could think of as data.

I agree, but I think we both know if that were universally true, life would be a lot better. I can still say thanks or whatever.

That makes sense. I don't think I have anything that counts as data, but if I think I've found anything important, you'll be the first one I tell. I explore a lot, but I don't think there's anything old to find here.

Whatever.

[He can still be surly about getting gratitude.]

There isn't. Etraya is really new. Even the stuff that looks old isn't.

Yeah.

[ If he's looking for someone to really argue for saying thanks... it's probably not Nico, unless he's really close to someone. ]

That makes sense. The bones in the crypts are mostly fake. Like someone wants people to think it's all real, but why? Who cares if the Catacombs are here at all?

Someone could've asked Aurora for it. If no one did, then maybe she thought people would like it.

[He isn't sure, especially not about the catacombs.]

Are the bones that obviously fake? I haven't taken a close look at them.

I'll have to ask Zagreus if he's the one who asked for it. Somehow I don't think he's the one that asked for it. He's kind of disconnected from mortal things.

I don't know if it's obvious to everyone, but it's obvious to me. That's what counts.

Why is that? Is he a god?

Does this have to do with who your dad is?

No - well, yes. But not for the normal reason that I'd blame it on him being a god.

Are you that smart or is your memory that good? Yeah, that's about who my dad is.

What the hell do you mean?

Yes to both. Besides, it isn't like it's easy to forget when someone tells you they're the kid of a god.

And what makes you so sure you can believe these random, incomplete diaries that were found?

[ Yes, he's one of those skeptical ones who have been here for a year. ]

I've seen the math on a couple of those pages. From what I understand - and I understand a lot - it doesn't look like complete nonsensical garbage. It's worth looking into.

Looking in to, sure, but don't assume no one's pulling your strings, either. You think a god can't handle rigging some math equations to paint you a picture and get you on their side?

Then I guess I should consider myself lucky this is the kind of thing I was developed for, and the person ultimately responsible for that development really fucking hates gods.

You were developed to out-math gods?

Something along those lines, yeah. You know what a particle accelerator is?

No.

It's a big machine that scientists use to spin and smash atomic and subatomic particles together. The point of it is to better understand the universe.

Isn't that what a god is? Someone with a complete understanding of the universe?

I'd say a god is more than that. It's one thing to understand it. It's another to create it and hold control over a domain.

And not every universe functions on math, I think. You can't write equations for magic.

Well, I can control it, too. That's more of a side effect of understanding it, though.

And that includes magic. It hasn't been that fucking hard to figure out.

Sounds like you've got the fucked up arrogance of a god. I'd say you're at least half way there.

Thinking you can figure out the nature of every universe just makes me doubt it.

I've already explained myself, so believe whatever the hell you want. I don't care.

Not entirely. If the person who created you hates gods, why make someone who is supposedly no different than one?

You asked us to share, what could be, important or even dangerous information with you if we find it. Why should I? Am I trading one Echo for another?

[Does he seriously need to explain why sharing data with everyone is a good thing? God, even little kids know why sharing with others is important, he can't believe this.]

You're fucking talking to me, for one. Can't do that with Echo. I'm still human, flaws and all.

Plus, this isn't just sharing data with me, but everyone on Etraya for the public good. That's a basic concept anyone can understand, and if you don't agree with it then go ahead, hoard whatever you have and be fucking useless to all of us.

[ Sharing is caring, but he doesn't give his dagger to a child, and so far, this one doesn't seem all that trustworthy to Vax. Maybe he is all powerful, but that doesn't mean he's going to do what's right with that power. ]

Speaking for all of us, too, are you, god?

You know, if you prove Echo right, you've proven we're all enemies. Only some of our homes will be spared.

Nope.

[He doesn't have the same responsibilities here that he does back home, so he has no desire to be a leader around here if he doesn't have to.]

I'd rather know than be stuck here for another year without being certain of what the hell we're doing. If you want to stick your head in the sand and subscribe to ignorance is bliss that's your prerogative, but don't shove that bullshit down everyone else's throats.

[ Given the network post, it's probably too late for that. A leader, whether he likes it or not. ]

There's nothing blissful about this place. But if I build you a temple, maybe you can math us the fuck out of here.

That's either creepy or cringey. Maybe both.
