retrospec | (no subject)

So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

i didnt go out last month i kno where 2 get rly good painkillers tho if u need them?

It's fine. Whatever pain that the river caused stopped once I got out of it, so I'm okay now. I don't think it was anything regular medication could fix, anyway.

You had the right idea avoiding all of it, though. The whole thing was unsettling.

[Not to mention it was really dark near the rivers too, but he knows better than to mention that and call out Shinji's fear.]

[Xiaolang's a good.]

i still wanna help tho even if its creepy

[He's a real good]

I'm sure there's still things that can be helped with in the city, too.

If Zee's planning to send people to whatever is beyond Magatus, it's probably better to stay here, anyway. Magatus is already harsh outside of whatever is going on right now.

but ur gonna go arent u

... no. I don't think I am.

I don't trust the place, especially after that last time. I want to see if there's something similar to what I saw in Respatrum and the sixth layer there, but... there will be others going. If they find something strange, I'm sure they'll share it with us.

[... that, and it's cold as balls over there and he hates the cold, but that's such a weak reason to avoid the trip that he's not going to mention that to Shinji]

[Not liking the cold is valid, says child afraid of the dark.]

ok maybe we can investigate recolle together?

[Look, he has to be a good role model for Shinji, okay!! What kind of responsible older boy would he be if he admitted to something like that?? ~~probably a relatable one, but shhhh~~]

I guess we can. If Vanderweele has control of Retrospec, he's probably going to do weird things here too, no doubt.

[And then, a thought hits him--]

I'm not taking you down to the sixth layer, though. I don't know how much of it got handled last month, but it's still dangerous.

ok ill keep u safe up here
