[ username: Diana ]

( this is her first appearance on the network, but Diana might be recognizable to some all the same. she was easily spotted wandering the halls of Thesa Station, especially in the halls of the sleeping. considering her height and easy confidence, she does tend to draw attention as she moves around Olympia as well. even if she isn't recognizable, she might be after this.

while she's unused to this method of communication, she's tinkered with it enough to master it. at least enough to accomplish what she means to say. she speaks cleanly, and with clear purpose. )

Greetings. I am Diana. ( it's taken some doing, but she did manage to say her name without spitting out titles and who her mom is. someone should give her points for this. ) I come with a request for aide.

Our landing was made in haste, and damage was wrought from the lack of planning. We all remember the scars left on the land, the devices we left behind in our wake.

Considering our work here must be performed in secrecy, I suspect it would be wise to clean up what we can before the residents of this planet find it. Beyond that, we might be able to scrap and make something of the devices we were ejected in, and do something for the destroyed field that softened our landing.

If you would aide me in this, I would have your name. I suspect the sooner we start, the better. If you believe your hands will be of help, then they will be welcome.

( apparently that's it. Diana shuts off the feed without even a goodbye. nice talking to you, Wondie... )

( stubbornly altruistic might as well be her middle name, it's just that amazons don't have those. or last names, for that matter. )

Organizing, perhaps. I do not think much leading will be required. ( not that she won't, she just finds no need to meddle when independence is an admirable quality. she isn't expecting the reference to their landing, looking passingly confused. )

Thank you. Much of it is a part of my training, though to be truthful there is much of what I can do that I do not entirely understand. ( her strength is sort of a new-found thing, and nobody had any time to explain it to her until she was striking out on her own in the world of men. )

[wondie]

I have always thought it better to know, frightening or not, though it is not always so simple. There are many reasons to hide things. In this instance, I cannot say whether the knowledge will help or harm. For now, I will try to adhere to the veil of secrecy.

( if she's given reason to confess, though, Diana is likely to break. it is not in her nature to withhold the truth. )

[wondie]

Your best is all I could ask for.

( she gives him a slight smile, before nodding. ) You will hear from me again. ( that's what passes for an amazon goodbye, apparently, before she closes the feed.. )

[wondie]

( look the app may exist and her bestie may have even made it, that doesn't mean Diana will use it. not everyone is good with technology, Alec, ok!!!! )

Diana will more than serve. This does not seem to be a place for titles or presumption.

[wondie]

( she came with a lasso of truth... though that's probably not going to help her out financially. )

Sirius. Like the star? ( she mourns, momentarily, the brightest star in the sky. ) I appreciate your help, Sirius. You will hear from me when the plans are finalized.

[wondie]

I cannot make those claims, either, though I have recruited a small number that can. ( Diana will leave that to them, though she may pay a little mind and ask a few questions, it's sort of like getting answers back in a language she's never heard. probably not too helpful. )

Strength to clear the metal is likely what we need most. I much appreciate any aide you can offer.

[estimable]

[Unfortunately, she does not move away from text without request of it. And just as well her words are as measured as the previous ones:]

Then pray tell me when you are set for departure.
I will also serve as guardsman for the travels there.

[wondie]

( Diana is much the same, though she doesn't mind the differential; she just doesn't care for text herself. )

I don't have the details fully arranged, but expect to hear from me in the next week or so.

How many do you think you could safely guard singlehandedly?

[estimable]

Should the need arise my blade could cut down hundreds within a single swing.

[It's not boasting, but simple fact.]

[competing]

[ he laughs a little. ]

Hey, I'll give all the help I can. Thanks for setting this up!

[beatupgrass]

No, not that objective. The big objective. Why Darma and her people sent us here. Is this really the only planet left anywhere?

[idealog]

Diana, then. It's nice to meet you!

[ He smiles back. ]

I was able to gain some control of those devices during the landing, in case you wanted more information about that.

[otrazhenie]

I wish things were that simple, and that we could be open about everything. But it would change their entire lives to know the truth.

[ The same way it had changed hers. ]

Maybe in time, and with the right way to tell them, they can know. But not right now.

[romancekiller]

[clarke gives a slight nod] Yeah, mostly with our arrival— I'm hoping there won't be too many either but it's good to know that you have other people offering medical aide too.

[exonerated]

You say it as though you expected a lesser turnout. [ He supposes kindness is rare in other worlds, and though Edmund knows and has experienced that to be true, he is still more optimistic than most. ] Sometimes asking a question is all it takes for others to step up and follow one's lead.

[wondie]

( well. okay then. )

I see. I doubt the need shall be so great, though any protection will be welcome.

[wondie]

I hoped. This was far more than I was anticipating, I must say.

( she is pleased, though, that much is clear in her tone. )

You are right. It is worth it to ask, this is proof of that.

[wondie]

All you can is all I can ask for.

( she inclines her head in a half nod. )

It was what needed to be done.

( oop, ok. well, she's gotta work on taking gratitude. she'll get there. )

[wondie]

( a good question, and it makes Diana fall silent as she considers it. )

There is much we do not know, and no means to learn the answers. They may be withheld, but why?

[wondie]

( her eyebrows lift. )

I would know anything you can tell me. Do you know of what can be retrieved from the pods?

[wondie]

I agree. For now.

( it clearly troubles her to hide, though even Diana can see the necessity of biding their time. )

At any rate. I am grateful for your help, Elena. You will hear from me when I have the details fully arranged.

[wondie]

Yes, we will be well prepared for our task. I was not expecting so many offerings, I am... pleased.

( this right here is exactly why she's so fond of humanity. despite the influence of Ares, they can still break through to help each other, and do what was right. it is quite admirable, Diana thinks. )

[sweetwater]

You won't regret it.

[trybelieving]

A friend from your world?

[ she knows Diana isn't entirely alone here, but she's yet to hear the extent of it.]

I hope I can be of some assistance.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Humanity's easily misguided. I'm sure that's fair enough to say.

[Universally speaking.]

Someone will find something to do with it. City life might not be favorable to all that find themselves here.
