[ 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... )

( 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.

We've no shortage on stubbornness here.

[As she learned after the crash, herself included. She catches herself and remembers to make an introduction. This isn't really all that different than talking on the phone, but it's still taking some getting used to.]

My name is Claire. A pleasure to meet you, Diana.

[wondie]

It seems to be in spades, though I confess to having a bit of it myself.

( saying she is a "bit" stubborn is sort of like calling the ocean "slightly wet". diana will certainly agree with claire that communicating in such a way is quite odd, though she prefers to see faces over hearing voices or seeing bland words. )

Likewise, Claire. If you are in need of escort, please let me know. I will find one for you.

[nineteenfortyfive]

It can be an asset in some situations. No so much when you've got someone trying to tend to your wounds before you bleed out on your comrades.

[Looking at you, pod people.]

I might as well ask for one now. I'm no fighter.

[wondie]

If I get in such a state, I promise to employ some patience.

( it is pretty hard to get her bleeding out on the floor... but just saying! )

There is no shame in that. I will have a group capable of defense, you will be in capable hands.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I appreciate it. And thank you--you're doing a good thing, organizing this.

[wondie]

To me, it is duty. There is no goodness in doing what ought to be done.

( Diana does get that it doesn't quite work that way for humans, though, so she amends, )

You have my thanks all the same. Your words are kind, as is your willingness to assist. I know that this work does not qualify as duty for all of us.

[nineteenfortyfive]

If only more thought that way.

[Unfortunately, it's not how the world works. Her world, anyway, and she assumes plenty of others.]

Regardless, it's good that people keep busy.

[wondie]

It seems that much of humanity has forgotten their sense of duty. Or they feel it in relation to things that do not merit the dutiful.

( feeling duty to winning inspiring a war with civilian casualties, for example, wasn't really duty at all in Diana's opinion. )

That is certainly so. We all need to find meaning here, even if we are newcomers to this place. It is not easily done, though restoring this land might be a step in the right direction.

[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.

[wondie]

More than.

( Diana just barely manages to bite her tongue and explain to an absolute stranger that it is not their fault, and the corruption of Ares was to blame. she is learning... if slowly. )

That is quite a thought. It would be remote, but, that could appeal to some.
