Disappearances

[nysan]

[ There's nothing particularly out of the ordinary about this broadcast, save for the fact that it's Nurray's face that appears onscreen and not that of one of the Refugees. No-nonsense as ever, she gets right to it. ]

Greetings. As you know, construction on the rail tunnels has been underway for some time now. However, we seem to have run into a bit of a... snag.

[ She steeples her fingers, her expression grave. ]

At first, I believed that perhaps some of the workers had merely abandoned their work. But it has happened too many times now to be a coincidence. Each time we send people to expand the tunnels closer to Josa Forest, they simply vanish.

[ Her lip curls at the thought of it. ]

Until this is resolved, the expansion of the rail tunnels cannot proceed. It would be in both our best interests if you were willing to look into this for us... What do you say? Can I count on your assistance?

[ More information can be found on the ooc post here. Please use this post for in character plotting; Nurray will not be sending out individual replies. ]

[ 'Too many times'.

Honestly. ]

I'm extremely curious how many times is too many times. You know, how many missing people it actually is. Or I guess, how many people have to go missing for it to be a problem.

[ And, you know, maybe he's curious how likely it is he will go missing. He likes being... not missing. ]

have any of the older refugees been to josa forest before (・・？)
i mean, this sounds pretty interesting anyway...
but if anyone has more information then it might help us not disappear too (。･o･｡)

[He's not holding out a lot of hope that anyone has, but he's been told about weird forest shenanigans going on before, so he might as well try.]

but anyway i guess mostly i'm saying i'll help .+:｡(ﾉ･ω･)ﾉﾞ

I doubt many of us have been there. Nadril was only recently known to us compared to other territories. I might be wrong, though, since I never elected to stay there.

[as fascinating as the technological possibilities were, he never really found himself tempted. it was just too lonely, reminded him too much of Godwin.]

I dont think that should stop us from volunteering, but we should be careful, regardless.

[thedarkbond]

i guess it would help if we had a map of the area...though if they've been working on the rail for a while then it can't be that close to nadril... (ʃ︶,︶ƪ)

if people are disappearing though, doesn't it kind of go without saying we should be careful? (-ω-)ゝ
at least a little bit~

Considering the last time people started vanishing? I'm in.

private.

[motivation]

so i'm not the only one whose mind went there, huh

[beatupgrass]

Rasyc's still got dudes out there. We haven't shook down all of 'em yet.

[motivation]

we should really fix that

[beatupgrass]

You're telling me. I'm working with the Ryders now to get at them, but if this is them again, it could be a real satisfying bust.

[motivation]

how do you like the ryders?

[ dutch has been thinking about joining... ]

[beatupgrass]

They're a little too sanctimonious for me, but they're probably not secretly jerk-offs, so they'll do.

Sure, count me in. Recon is well within my area of expertise, after all.

[That and he really doesn't like the idea of people being kidnapped again. Screw that noise.]

[motivation]

what are the perks?

[planetary_bonds]

you say that, and yet there are still the type of people who'd go at this a little too recklessly...

What kind of assistance is needed?

( Davos is not sure if can provide anything at all, but he like to try, all the same. )

[thedarkbond]

well, i get that it's boring to be too cautious...
it's the kind of thing that needs a good balance~ ٩(｡•ω•｡)و

[beatupgrass]

Easy access to a lot of information you can't get anywhere else on the jerkasses lurking around here, except from maybe Cree, but that dick's got an agenda and I'm over it.

Knowing how things tend to work within this world, too many times is probably far past the amount that would have normally been considered worrisome.

I'm also concerned considering how common it is for many of us Thessans to traverse the railways. It's only a matter of time before someone from the station vanishes with the civilians.

And if others from either Wyver or Olympia start vanishing as well I could imagine it wouldn't play out well for cultural relations between all three cities.

[latkje]

Probably someone to go to the Josa Forest, scout the area, and not disappear.

[deadthenred]

Are you going to the tunnels?

[motivation]

damn straight i am

[impavid]

[ Ugh why did you have to frame it this way, as some kind of dangerous threat that will only get worse instead of random missing people. ]

Sounds pretty dangerous, good thing Nurray has got it handled.

[ Goodbye, John is going back to doing something that doesn't involve a spooky forest!! ]

[beatupgrass]

Or we could both just keep being freelance. I like that idea. Cree can choke on it, but there's others.
