[As much as Naoki's wanted to say some of this since... well, since halfway through the mess in Misericordia, he decided to hold off and gather his thoughts first. As bad as that was for him and Kanji, it was worse for other people, and from what he's gathered the other jaunt wasn't exactly a picnic either. And then there was the party, and making that many drinks is more attention-consuming than you might think - and, well, no point in dumping that on people in the same moment as Armin-san's list of the departed. But he doesn't want this to wait until after the next jaunt.
It may not make a whole lot of sense to the new people, but hey, they can get explanations along the way.]
Okay. Now that we've all had a little time to decompress, I have a couple things I want to get on the table.
We need to start pooling information about where we've been, considering how often lately it's turned out to be where at least some of us are going. I know there's not much to be done about Moebius or anything that came before it, but... if we'd had more than half-panicked half-information halfway through everything in Misericordia, we might've been able to save some of our group a world of hurt. I'm not looking to cast blame for what's already happened, I'm looking to improve our chances going forward. [Alcuin and Ambrose tried, and it's not their fault things happened as they did.]
Whenever we can be prepared, there's no reason we shouldn't be. I'm sure some of us have been keeping private records, but we need something everyone can get to. If we can keep a log of the basics of these places - the nuts and bolts, maybe a note of what Trumps showed up if any - it'll help keep us out of a little trouble, anyway. I don't know the best way to do something like this, but I think we need at least one physical copy, since not everyone can work backwards on the network. Probably multiple copies of it, to cover for split groups and infiltrating and all that. A computer that people could Interface the information from might work, but that runs into the same storage issues, not to mention needing a computer for it in the first place.
Helena-san's trying to write up Purgatory as a story. We settled on trying that one because I know the most about it of anything I've been here for but she hadn't. Depending on how well that goes, she'll probably want to talk to people about some of the others, and either way I think we'll have a starting point.
If anyone's willing to help, donate notes, offer a place to keep everything, whatever - I'll take any help I can get with this thing. It's a resource we need, especially if the split-group situation keeps happening.
Another thing that came up in Misericordia before everything went to hell was the idea of trying to run a Sift on a familiar face. This one I'm mostly leaving to everyone who kept Sift - I bet the parameters would be tricky, from what Naoto's said about it before, but establishing a good set would give everyone a chance to try it, next time we run into one of them. All I can really offer on that end is my Assistance, if I'm there and myself when the chance comes.

[He takes this conversation private, now.]
If we should run into Pope Alexander Sextus, he is a confirmed enemy. He is... under the sign of the Cross.
[Those who might be listening in on their conversation will not hear Assassin secrets from him, or the secrets of prominent Templars.]

If it comes to a fight, I will do what I need to in order to ensure everyone remains safe.

For the record, Malik, I must disclose that... there were far more than four crusades. There were in fact seven major crusades which ended two hundred years ago, in my time, and many more minor crusades besides, bringing their numbers well up into the dozens.

...of course there were. I had hoped for something foolish it seems.

... for the record, Malik, I do not think it is foolish to want peace. That is why I stand with you.

Forgive me for thinking it idealistic to believe in it occurring in the lifetime of anyone here though, but that is why we do as we do. To give those who come after us a better chance at it.
