[ 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... )

[ of course she's seen Diana before. it would have been difficult to miss her: a tall, beautiful, confident woman.

who Cheryl thinks might be kind of crazy, but that is perhaps not an area Cheryl can judge in. ]

So I'm clear, you want us to walk three days back through a nightmare forest of woman-eating arachnids so that we can pick up space garbage like a prison chain gang?

[wondie]

( no text. not into it, cheryl. she'll talk at you before she'll text. )

I don't believe my message was particularly unclear. The destruction is great. If we do not right it, who will?

Beyond that, there is like to be reward for the work, for those willing to do so.

[trybelieving]

You'd like to clean up the mess we made upon arrival?

[ it's a marvelous idea, though only Diana would use the word soft in any way that describes their landing. ]

I suppose I don't have to share my name, just my assistance.

[wondie]

( it could have been harder, Tink!!! what if it were a mountain... or the ocean! )

Exactly. We left it behind, but out of sight is not the same as out of mind. I imagine the residents of this planet would have a few questions if they were to find it, and beyond that, it is a shame to leave the land so spoiled.

( she offers a smile at the agreement, though. ) I would delight in your help, Tinker Bell.

[beatupgrass]

Heh. You don't have to worry about that. I've been on that since we landed. At least as far as makin' shit is concerned.

[wondie]

Have you cleared the entire field?

( because, if so, she is impressed. )

text | un: colt.saa

[shashka]

So, what do you think will happen if the locals find it?

[ honestly, he's still not sure if he fully trusts the orbiters just yet. and this whole thing reeks of conspiracy. ]

[wondie]

It is something beyond their world. I suspect it would confuse at best, trouble and disturb at worst.

( she was a walking bit of beyond, so she has some experience in the matter. )

If we are to keep our presence in this place a secret, it would be best not to leave the evidence of our arrival left openly.

[beknight]

[ points for u, broski. now come to the dark side, where they use text. ]

Need a supervisor?

[ He's not planning to go as yet. Cleanup work is better left to the super-powered. ]

[wondie]

( that she answers in text is only a consolation of fondness, Bruce. you better recognize. )

If there are those in need of guidance, I am capable of giving it. Though if you think you could better instruct those to dismantle the pods into useful parts, by all means.

What all of use could be pulled from them?

( that's edging into expertise she doesn't have. she's strong, but she doesn't have experience with wiring or the systems that helped navigate the pods to the planet. )

[totheno1]

Cleaning up a mess was never my area of expertise...I let others take care of it. I suppose if I am to survive in this world, I should start lifting my sleeves a little more often.

Very well. Madam Diana, I shall accompany you.

[Well if she was rude, this young adult certainly seemed to be overly dramatic.]

I am Kei Nanjo.

[wondie]

( it would be severely hypocritical of Diana to hold dramatics against someone. please see post above. )

I shall welcome your help. It is easy to remove yourself from responsibility, I commend you for taking it.

Kei Nanjo. We are well met.

video; un: clarke

[romancekiller]

[clarke definitely recognizes her from their meeting near the statis units and she smiles slightly hearing her request] I think that's a great idea to clean everything up from what was left behind when we landed.

I definitely don't mind helping you out with that either.

[wondie]

Thank you. I realize it is not ideal work, but I think the benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

Your help would be appreciated. ( a pause, before, ) How has this place treated you so far, Clarke?

video | un:edmund

[exonerated]

A worthy cause, though the pods are not so easy to lift, through normal means.

[ Unless, of course, you have magic, or unparalleled strength. ]

What manner of help would we be able give to you?

[wondie]

Yes, they are difficult to manage, and unwieldy. It will make cumbersome work, but I think it is work that needs doing.

( there are plenty in their midst capable of lifting things so heavy, at least, but it isn't the only work that needed to be done. )

They can be broken apart into more manageable pieces. I am told they can be searched for usable scrap for radios, wiring and the like. And while it will be unforgiving work, we will have to level the earth where impact unsettled it.

Beyond that, those to look after those that labor. Food, drink, a place to rest... anyone that thinks they have an idea of how to help will likely be able to.

voice; un: theEND

[winddaughter]

I tried to get some of the debris moved at least to one area when we were out there, but I know there's a lot more work to be done. I'd be up for going back and continuing to help.

[oh right, names]

I'm Anemone.

[wondie]

I think most of us made an effort to clear them to one side or the other, but that still leaves a great deal of work to be done. I welcome your aid.

Well met, Anemone.

video | username: xXx_trueblue_xXx

[competing]

For you, beautiful? I'd move the stars.

[ omg that was a good one he should write that down— ]

But, uh. Not to knock your super great, super generous plan here, but where exactly would we put all that stuff...? Do we know a place where the people here won't look?

[wondie]

Mm, and may you have luck in such an endeavor. They tend to be set on their own paths, I find.

( aka she's not buying your lines... sorry lance, that was a good one. )

My intent is to sell what we can of the scrap. What we cannot sell, I suppose I will find a place for, but I do not see why a majority of it cannot be salvaged. It will be an undertaking, but a profitable one. In more ways than one.

video | un: newtscam

[suffusive]

[ they were both in the first wave, so he remembers her face. ]

Well met, Ms Diana. [ he tips his head. by way of explanation — ] Newt Scamander. I've experience with rehabilitating natural habitats, and I'd be happy to help. With that and the, ah, heavy lifting.

[ says the very spindly man. ]

[wondie]

( she nods, recognizing him even though they've yet to speak. she offers a hint of a smile in agreement. well met, yes, she thinks so. )

Wonderful. I would welcome your aide, Newt Scamander. There were gardens on Themyscira, but my passions were elsewhere. ( aka she was a wild child that liked to play with swords.

she has no objection to the idea of a spindly man doing some heavy lifting, apparently that's not that abnormal to her. she's more interested in his other offered skill. ) What do you prescribe we do to recover the land? My ideas are limited, I suspect you have more knowledge than I do.

video | un: mantis

[uglybug]

I think that is a good idea. My name is Mantis. I do not remember if I told you that before. [She hesitates, because admitting that she is less than capable is asking for trouble, in her experience. She does need to be honest here, though.] I will need help getting through the forest. I will not be of much use there.

[wondie]

Mantis, yes. I remember.

( their meeting had been ... rather tense, though, not all together horrible. Mantis reminds Diana of the shellshocked survivors of war, having seen things that have left a mark, unseen. )

I will not allow harm to come to anyone willing to give aide to this task. You have my word.

video | un. altea

[juniberries]

[this is something she hadn't even considered doing, but now that it's brought up...it's something she almost wishes she thought of.]

The journey back may prove difficult as arriving here had been, but I agree. Cleaning up is the least we can do for this planet.

My name is Princess Allura and I will be more than happy to lend my assistance in any way I can.

[wondie]

It will be easier than our last journey, only in that we have some awareness of what we might face. It will be a task, as will the cleanup, I will not dispute it.

( she hopes that she can convince some other refugees to aide her, anyway. Diana clearly is invested in the project, more than just earning something from scrap. )

I shall be happy to have your aide, Princess Allura. May I ask, from what lands do you hail?

video; un: elena

[otrazhenie]

It's a good idea to clear up the debris, not just to keep all of this secret from the locals, but in case any others wake up and are sent down. If they land in the same place, that mess could cause damage to the pods.

[ Not to mention the people inside. Yes, she's thinking big picture here -- their rescuers promised to keep her loved ones safe and she's counting the days until they wake up. ]

My name's Elena. I'll help however I can.

[wondie]

True. I pray that such a landing is not required in the future, but if that is the case we should be prepared for it.

( if the station had been attacked once, there is little doubt it could happen again. Diana knows that war is a constant push and pull, it is practically expected that it may happen again. )

Hello, Elena. I would be pleased for your help. Would you need escort through the forest?

video | un:cadderly bonaduce

[songofdeneir]

I feel a fool for not considering that sooner. I had become too engrossed in other matters.

My name is Cadderly, and I am more than willing to help.

[wondie]

( Diana shakes her head once. ) You are no fool. All of us have had plenty of pressing concerns to contend with.

Hello, Cadderly. I am pleased to meet you, and for your help.

video | un: c.fraser

[nineteenfortyfive]

You're very considerate. I don't know if I can be much help with the removal, but I don't mind making sure no one pushes themselves too hard.

[And, you know, in case someone slices themselves on some metal. That's more her thing.]

[wondie]

( it is indeed pretty easy to get sliced by raw metal, so having someone with knowledge of healing would be a boon. Diana herself knows very little, admittedly. )

A task easier said than done, at times, I know. I would be grateful for your help.

[offthatpath]

[Alec doesn't care so much about the mess as the fact that she makes a point about them possibly being able to use the remnants of the crashed pods for their own purposes.

You never know what could prove to be useful here.]

It won't be easy getting back there. You're going to need people who can handle themselves in dangerous situations.

[Yes. This is him offering his assist.]

[wondie]

We will, yes. I take that as an offer?

( apparently she did realize that! she's used to surly types, she's friends with Bruce Wayne. )

text | un: sblack

[doggo]

Took us some time to get here and I didn't see many people along the way, or reasons to go out there
What makes you think anyone's going to go that far to find it

[And, after a pause:]

How do you plan to bring back all of that scrap without being noticed

[wondie]

Even if they do not venture that far, should we simply leave the damage behind? It is only right to restore what we can.

( as for the other question, it's a good point. she's thoughtful as she considers it. )

If the remnants are distributed through all the workers, hopefully it would be less noticeable... but you are right, and that may be difficult.

video | un: roman

[twofates]

[ It's certainly a practical idea. Smart, too. Cover their tracks. After nearly a lifetime spent living on the fringes of society, helping no one but his own family - in pursuit of their admittedly destructive cause - Roman is experiencing feelings of altruism for the first time. He has no reason to help her, really. He doesn't need to. He could ignore her, completely, and he considers it simply because that's his instinct: worrying only about himself and his family. But he has no family anymore, they betrayed him.

All that's left now is...this. This leftover world, which grants him the freedom to learn who he is for the first time. And maybe he's the kind of person who reaches out to help. If he can. He'll try it, anyway. ]

Do you still need any help?

[wondie]

I would have it, certainly. There is much work to be done, I do not think there is such a thing as too many hands.

( she's gotten some response, yes, but the damage they are looking to reverse is from the landings of everyone, far more than the few she's recruited to the cause. it will be a lot of work, and anyone willing to help, for whatever reason they intend to do so... the better. )

video | un: NINES

[idealog]

She seems like a really strong person. And kind. 9S can't help but be reminded of someone, and even though he's hesitant to side with anyone right now, he wants to help.

Uh, ma'am? I'd like to help with the cleanup process. I'm pretty familiar with technology, so I think I can help.

I'm 9S.

[wondie]

Diana, please.

( Ma'am is very polite, but she'd prefer her name over that. Diana offers 9S a smile, and a nod. )

Our team would greatly benefit from someone knowledgeable with technology, I would welcome your help. Thank you, 9S.

text | un: saber

[estimable]

It would be my honor to set out and repair the land we arrived in. I can call no claims to understanding the technology or the repair of its vegetation, but you have my hand for the clearing of it.

[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.
