[ 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... )

What if people wanted to help but aren't strong enough to lift a small car? [ not that Cheryl wants to help and be included and be liked. no. that is of course not the case. ]

[wondie]

There is much to be done, and plenty skills that would be of use.

The ground will need to be leveled, if if is to return to its former state. Beyond that, the labor will be immense — anyone willing to keep up fires, food for the weary, refreshment as it is needed, would be welcome.

( no need to be lifting overly much for most of those. the digging, though, maybe. )

[sweetwater]

[ she's quiet for a few moments. leveling the ground isn't anything she's going to be able to help with. but... this isn't home. she has to at least look like she's helping. ]

I can help with drinks.

[wondie]

That would be most welcome.

Your name is ... Cheryl? ( Diana is guessing, from the username. )

[sweetwater]

Yes. I'm Cheryl.

I've seen you around before.

[wondie]

( dryly: )

I have been told I am hard to miss.

( Thanks, Steve. )

[sweetwater]

I think that's a good thing, don't you? Everyone wants to be unforgettable.

[wondie]

That depends largely on why you are remembered.

( is it a good thing to be remembered simply for her height or her appearance? not as far as Diana was concerned. )

[sweetwater]

I'd rather be infamous than forgotten.

[wondie]

I'd rather be known for who I am than for what I look like. It seems as if that is a feat less easily accomplished.

Unless, of course, you remembered me for something else.

[sweetwater]

[ well, not only her looks. ]

The way you carry yourself, like you've taken on the whole world and come out on top. People might try and bring you down, but they can't even touch you.

[wondie]

( a dark brow rises. )

And you could ascertain that by looking at me?

( how often have you been looking, Cheryl... jw.......... )

[sweetwater]

I'm a keen observer of the human condition. [ she looked a few times, ok?? Cheryl can't help noticing things! ] There's little that passes without my notice.

[wondie]

I see.

Then you will be a welcome addition to our party. I hope your keen eye will help us restore the plain back to as it should be.

[sweetwater]

You won't regret it.
