[Video]// Check-in Post for the living!

I can confirm that this is definitely Harrogate, though 123 years in the future, the year 2020.

Everyone themselves on the jaunt, check in here. [His acting skills from his overlay here the last time are being used to good effect, as he appears confident and energetic, hiding whatever fear and uncertainty he has about this place.] Who's investigating here, and who have you seen infiltrating? Is anyone themselves but with an infiltrator persona - and if so, what can you tell us of the current situation?

I'd also like to know who has memory restoration - we should coordinate who we turn back into themselves, starting with other people who know memory restoration, so we can affect the greatest number of people. And if you have any ideas of what we should ask people on the walkabout side of things, let me know - I'll likely be contacting them as soon as we start to have things organized and know what's going on over here.

I can help if anyone has more general questions about the customs, culture, or history of this place. Additionally, if you want to know if someone is around on the jaunt, but they're not responding to psychic hails, I can help - as long as they're within about sixty miles of here.

I'm here, and I can restore people back to themselves.

There are a lot of disturbances in the Force here. I think I was expecting that. The Force is not being terribly helpful when it comes to clearing up what they are though. I might never be warm this entire Jaunt.

[neverfeltthatway]

All right. Once we know who all has the skill, and we know everyone who's infiltrating over here, I'll send out another message to organize that effort.

...Can you tell me what they feel like?

[forcechanic]

Okay.

It's... a cold feeling. And like there's something there that's trying to reach across. But it can't quite reach us.

[neverfeltthatway]

...That something trying to reach across. Can you tell if it's human? Or if it's very powerful?

[His first thought, of course, is that it's the King in Yellow trying to reach across, or one of his eldritch underlings.]

[forcechanic]

It feels... mostly human. I'm not sure what... you know, would feel like. It doesn't seem powerful though. It's hard for it to get anything across.

[neverfeltthatway]

Mostly human. [He looks relieved, if still wary - but he relaxes enough to begin considering other options.]

If it's not eldritch in origin... maybe the spirits of the dead?

[forcechanic]

I could see if Summoning works like it did in Bando. I'll want backup though, just in case.

[neverfeltthatway]

That could work. Give me an hour or so, until everyone's a little more settled and organized, and I'll join you.

[forcechanic]

I know nothing about this place should be taken lightly.

[Look at her keeping her Solo Yolo impulses in check]

[Armin nods seriously.]

I'm glad. I don't want anyone doing something careless on this jaunt and being driven mad as a result. [And if he's honest, that's what he expects from at least a portion of the Travelers.]

[forcechanic]

There's enough risk in that happening with whatever we're supposed to be doing.

[She's pretty sure it involves the things that drive people mad]

[helborn]

[Must not... giggle at that...]

I'm not surprised, given what other people said about Harrogate last time...

[forcechanic]

Yeah, I was ready for it. Kinda. As much as anyone can be ready for Harrogate.

[helborn]

Were you here the last time?

[forcechanic]

No, but I've heard the stories.

[helborn]

... Ah. Yeah. I've heard... some of what happened.

[forcechanic]

None of it good, unless you heard really different things.

Phillip taught me some protections.

[helborn]

I was talking with Phillip for a little bit, but I didn't want to push him too hard on it.

[forcechanic]

I don't even know what exactly happened, but it was bad. And he really wanted me to know the sigils to protect myself. Light's good, too.

[helborn]

I can look into getting a flashlight when we touch down. One of those big heavy ones, in case I need to swing it.

[forcechanic]

Yeah... I should grab one of those too. A lightsaber will blow our cover pretty badly.

[She'll still hold onto it as a last resort]

[helborn]

Depends on how modern it is, it might be mistaken for a really good prop. Maybe.

[forcechanic]

That would be the best case scenario. Probably not a good thing to count on, in this world.
