UN: DEEPYOGURT | VIDEO

[Well, look at who we have here. You get no facial, just a man in a black and red suit looking dinged up but fine overall, the expression on his face teeters between wry indifference and a healthy dose of disbelief.]

Does Siri typically fly off the handle Sky Net style or is this total meltdown special? Just wondering. The AI where I'm from is a little more reliable and a lot less easy on the eyes.

Anyway, not sure where I landed but I landed on my coccyx. I hope this planet has masseuses willing to go below the belt.

[Her hair is in two messy twin braids. Her eyes are glassy. The sharp-eyed might notice she's probably, definitely drunk. The less-so might just assume she's overly tired. Her tongue presses into her cheek as she considers how to start this one, but in the end she just rips the bandaid off quickly: ]

So, tell me, how is it that you handle grief?

[She probably won't be elaborating on why she's asking, unless she has a certain level of familiarity with you, but you can try. People closest to her probably already know what this is really about: Her sister is gone. From Moorecroft. From Etraya. From the top side of the dirt. Gone and back to dead, and Yelena is spiraling.]

When all those kids started making their territory I thought we were all on the same page.

So why are these assignments like this? What's the cutoff here?

I'm 21 how is that a child?

[Aurora/Eos, explain!!!]

I have tried to stay optimistic - hopeful, at least - in regards to our mission. I have seen planets die and stars burn out; even relocating those on said dying planets doesn't always work out well. Not everyone is equipped to adjust to new environments even if they are similar to what they had before.

(They have to be successful in other words. They have to.)

I wish to represent multiple worlds since there are many in my galaxy that have no representation. Are there any others in our number who feel likewise? I know that space travel isn't common; we can only help the worlds that we recall.

(She wishes she had brought maps with her!)

I am also curious how many of us have military or fighting experience? I would like to know who to call on should I find myself or others in a tight situation.

As we are not certain how long we will be in this labyrinth or what essentials will be readily available or accessible for us, I've put together a few packages I intend to distribute at the entrance before we are all shepherded in. Or if you find me within, I intend to share these if I still have some on hand. My name is Ororo.

If anyone is concerned about clean water, I can provide this at certain times. As such, please make sure to pack an umbrella and/or a raincoat - and canteens to collect as much water as you will need.

If you are bringing in any devices that need charging, I can help with that as well once we are inside.

Thank you.

I will keep this simple: do the following planets sound familiar to you? Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant, Geonosis? There are many, many others in the galaxy I call home. I believe those are the most well-known in my time anyway.

If I give a list of the unrepresented planets, do you think I could represent them too? Can one or two people stand for a whole galaxy?

I hope so. Their voices can't be heard, their faces can't be seen, but each life deserves a chance.

I see the companion bots have been hard at work updating our skyline of late. A neat trick, reproducing such elaborate structures — for those of you familiar with what's gone up, have you found them to be faithful recreations? Or has a little Etrayan creativity found its way in?

Aurora went out of her way to make one thing clear in her initial communication to us: that we were selected for this exercise for a reason. That begs two immediate questions: why were our worlds the ones selected for representation, and why were we the ones selected to represent them?

Our hosts are unlikely to give us those answers, as we know the selection criteria is being withheld from us. So perhaps the only way we'll make any headway is by taking matters into our own hands.

Consider, then, an exercise of our own: to share something about your world and its circumstances. At best, we might find a common denominator that speaks to our hosts' interest in us. At worst, we'll all come away with a better idea of what's at stake for each of us.

I'm not proposing a forum to advocate for these worlds' continued existence; Aurora and her contemporaries have that much well in hand already. What I am suggesting is that we all better understand our purpose here, and its implications: that should we succeed, these are the worlds that will survive, even at the expense of others that weren't so lucky as to have people like us brought here to fight for them.
