[The psychic broadcast is Private and Protected from any prying minds, locked down to only those veterans of Moebius who are pure Investigators.]

Does anyone remember the Hellstones? As more than just a story.

The rebels planned to steal one, using the Investigators' ability to portal. The Investigators withdrew, it became a bloodbath. The Hellstone was never recovered.

Either it's out there unaccounted for, or one of us took it.

[Anyone who was talking to Gil before, about five minutes in to their conversation he gets suddenly distracted, and disappears from the network. Not mute, just ignoring it.

About two minutes later, he's shouting. And any Infiltrator Personas that know Ghalib well will hear it too.]

NATION EATERS! In the caves! RUN!!

[After that, there's no response.]

leftbehindagain

Who's here and what happened? Other than the sandstorm. You've probably heard it first.

[A few minutes later:]

...right, sorry, this is going to be a weird one for half-infiltrating, I can already tell. The locals are limited to four sentences of no more than six words each, but you can get a lot into six words.

This is Naoki. Or... Longstory, if you ask the locals, because I guess someone was feeling literal-minded. I'm already in town.

We should probably keep this brief, in the event of native eavesdroppers.

[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

claudiometer

Guys, you're on TV.

...Which, knowing our usual track record, someone figured out after about five minutes, but. Just in case you didn't. You're on TV and everything about this is awful. I'm gonna see what I can do on this end to cause some trouble without getting dragged onto the show myself - my poor overlay doesn't deserve that.

Also. Heads up, survey says they're gonna drop a sandstorm on your asses and soon. My guess is within the next week. Start getting ready to hunker down now.

(OOC: Claudia's only just unlocked this move, so she's the only one on the bridge. You have her for about 20 minutes. Human-side investigators, Claudia would have coordinated with you guys before doing this, but that'll be in a mingle toplevel I don't have the brain for tonight; hit me up on plurk or the OOC post if there's something in particular they'd relay!)

Well, I am going to add to the headache that is this Jaunt and for that I apologise. I was able to corner Cain and catch him with Justice's Aura though I feel like he would have disclosed a lot if the information to my without it. But he definitely one of the actors and certainly not by choice so I am certain that he will help us get back at the 'gods'. It did not sound that what happened to those is pleasant at all, perhaps why many have no memory?

[There is a long, tired sigh.]

Speaking of how best to help Home and get back at the gods, well, I shall just show you.

[Q'uila shares the majority of her conversation with the Network.]

Fucking space. The gods are humans in space and we are both entertainment and an experiment. There is a lot to discuss here so any thoughts on courses of action from any of you. Also we should have a constant watch on not-Jackie.

I've been getting some real bad vibes off of this whole Liminal Space for a while now. Can't stand the feeling of being watched anymore, not after... well, you know.

[Moebius. She means Moebius.]

And 'cos of that, I've started to get some real big doubts that this one's gonna be a nice, fun, easy one. So, just in case I'm not investigating on this next jaunt, consider this me asking real nicely for someone to make sure I am. I don't care what my infiltration's like, I want that undone.

[note: takes place immediately after this]

I'm not sure if this is a psychic ability gone wrong or if something else is happening, but Hanamura Yosuke appears to have temporarily taken on the aspect of one of his less savory former overlays. I've currently got him and the Liminal animal he was attempting to use as an explosive in stasis, but I don't know if whatever this effect is can wear off or be canceled while time is stopped for him, and I really don't want to have to hurt him while he's like this, so assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone wants to get away from the creepy, I'm throwing a birthday party for Rosie. It's a few weeks early, but who knows if we'll be ourselves when that rolls around. Plus third time's the charm for me actually getting to throw her party myself, right?

[He had been planning a party and then Liminal was cake. And then he was planning a party and Rose turned Liminal into cake.

There's a pause before he adds something in an awed tone.]

Guys, can you believe she's almost three?

noonesblessing

[Once Qrow's not drunk on Liminal Wine, a thought appears for all.]

How about holding a weapon meet up this liminal? Weapon makers or those looking for new weapons or just people who wants maintenance done on theirs... all that fun stuff.

We'd need a place though. Afraid I don't know how to make one.

seestheworld

[At some point during the week, a livestream pops up on the network. Oddly enough, it appears to be from Minako of all people, which given that so far she's managed to avoid learning any network skills at all might be worth commenting on, at least for anyone who knows her well enough to know that... if it weren't for the actual subject of the livestream in question, which is a tad more important right now: namely the uncrowning and subsequent Fall of one Bartholomew, (formerly) Angelic (former) Prince of the Market.]

I don't know if this is going to affect anyone's plans for the guy, but...

[Enjoy?]

itsananimalthing

Hey, people. Figure we should probably pull things together and see what we're all doin', here, by now.

First, I wanna warn everybody about the new arrival-- Recording Angel. Limited omniscience, writes down everything interesting she comes across, didn't seem to know I was inside the angel chatting her up, but you never know. If you're an investigator, though, keep your distance from her. She'll probably know exactly who and what you are and that ain't somethin' that'll go well for you.

Also, you know that thing that kept the fire burnin'? That's gone now? Cassandra did some divination shit, and we're pretty sure it's loose somewhere in the Market, and it has more to do with lies and truth. That seems like it's a theme this Jaunt. Be careful what you say and do out there.

Anybody else got somethin' useful to share?

razorblade_empress

Okay, I know there's a lot going on at the moment...

[what with dungeons, walkabout fallout, whatever the hell's going on with that penalty box...]

...but I just wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads-up that Infoglasses are now available on a first come, first serve basis. I figure I can make maybe three a month to start with, so if anyone wants a pair, let me know.

For anyone who doesn't know what Infoglasses are, they're basically glasses that double as a portable display for computers, TVs, and other devices. They've got wi-fi access, provide their own hotspot, and have a massive photographic database onboard, so you can use them to look at a given object, compare it to similar objects on file, and pull information about them from the database. They're Spark-era tech, so... pretty advanced.

Anyway, I'm around if anyone wants a pair.

reallymean

[The Jaunt has only been over for perhaps half an hour when Allura's voice comes across the network, tight and clipped as though she has a white-knuckled grasp on control.]

I know some of us tend toward trigger happy.

[As evidenced by the chalk outline in the penalty box - not quite a universal sign for 'some poor soul was just murdered', but close.]

But I would strongly advise against killing someone who has been severed from the Network or from Liminal Space. It appears to...disrupt the mechanism by which we're resurrected if we die during a Jaunt. They will return in the Floor, aware for at least part of the process.

dino_zarf

Did you know the Traveller summoning trick can be done backwards? Because it turns out the Travellers summoning trick can be done backwards. I bet you'll never guess who can do the summoning trick backwards.

[It's someone who didn't want a bath]

Does anyone know if there's a way to... hold yourself to a particular place?

itsananimalthing

Hey. Riddick here. Just wanted everybody to know-- if you ain't figured it out already from the crying and shit-- Vilari had her baby.

[The network gets a brief video of a newborn-age child laying on the fur-covered shelf of his bed, kicking her feet gently and making curious baby-noises. She's darker than Vilari, about Riddick's skin tone, with fuzzy black hair and pale eyes, and little pointed ears.]

Promise I won't flood the network with her like Wash does. But still wanna introduce everybody to her. This is Taralani. Our daughter.

[There's a pause while he just enjoys sending that, before adding,]

Wash says it's gonna be a couple months before she's on the network, but the network and liminal space has gotten more involved since Rose was her age. I figure everybody should probably start filterin' now, just to be safe.

itsananimalthing

So I think I've got all the important shit back from the first time we did this Jaunt. You guys have already changed things a lot. This might be some kinda proof that who infiltrates as who really does make a difference, like we're influencing them just by bein' there, cuz Remy was in charge of the cattle stealin' last time and he made a huge fuckin' mess of it. This time it's goin' pretty well, from what I can see.

And last time nobody really knew about all the shady shit Erebus was doing, so that's a big change. Either we got better at this shit after a few more years of workin' on it, or all you new people since this Jaunt are more nosy than we were.

Okay, now I got a warnin' for you all. Worked out what happened after the storm, last time. When the thieves headed out of the caves and into Ridge Rock, there were Erebus assholes waiting for 'em. Bunch of people died, Erebus got their cows back. So keep an eye out if any of you are comin' this way. I'm here in Ridge Rock now, so I can be here if things go down like that.

If we manage to keep even some of those cows away from Erebus, I'm thinkin' that might change the win condition on this thing.

[Private addition to Yukki:]

You got anything to add to that? I know you were doin' different shit on the Jaunt than I was.

razorblade_empress

Okay, so I've been trying to reconstruct my memories of our first time here, admittedly without a hell of a lot of success so far. But I did just remember this: There's a storm coming - a real nasty one, from what I've managed to scrape together. If our cattle thieves aren't either properly prepared for it, or aren't in the caverns by the time it hits, they're probably gonna lose most of the cattle.

itsananimalthing

Okay. I have fuckin' been here before. I remember this stupid Founders Day party. There's going to be some kind of upset soon after it, but I don't remember what yet.

And just in case it wasn't obvious, those are Travelers from years ago. I know them. I ain't got names for all of them yet, but I got memories now for almost all of them.

Pretty sure I ain't crazy, and I can't be the only one. So who else remembers this, and those other Travelers?

okanetendo

Ah, there are the new faces we were hoping to see
Welcome to Liminal Space, for all that's worth
Don't freak out at the texting; we apparently got hooked up with pagers in our brains.
(For free, a price I can get behind)

My name is Nabiki Tendo, and I've been at this four times now
(which makes me what, an Emperor?)
We aren't gonna have much time, so here's the short version:
We're gonna find ourselves in another world, or a "Jaunt"

Pros; we get cool powers from it
Beats the hell out of training for it for years
Cons; some of us won't remember who we are
Pay real close attention if someone looks familiar -
They're probably important to whatever problem we're trying to fix

Oh, and grab some food while we're out
Liminal Space doesn't take cash or credit
But I can teach folks how to make a dimensional pocket to stuff snacks in
Or weapons, if you're anything like my sister or some of the fruitcakes who spar with her
