[ Here's a face that's been gone from the network for over a month. Wing looks a touch weary, his pinions lax, even though physically he seems in good health]

Hello Haven. I'm back now. I apologize for my absence, it was not intentional.

Sorry to ask this but, would anyone care to update me on recent events? Particularly from the Law Committee? I would appreciate it greatly.

[ He knows about Vandal, and a few of the others that have gone missing, which likely accounts for his glum mood.]

Also, committee members, I think we should put serious consideration into mapping not just the Haven but the surrounds. And clearly mark hazardous areas.

To everyone else... Please, if you're considering going exploring alone, regardless of skill level, do reconsider. Everyday we discover new hazards that persist on this world.

[ Wing might have taken down six reanimated mech frames on his own, maybe. But with the energy drain? There was no chance. ]

And well, I have a bunch of books, mostly human ones, that I don't need anymore. [ More specifically he needs to make room in his...room for someone else's stuff. ] Would anyone like them? I don't want them thrown away.


[Private to Barricade]

You're the one that told me about--what did you call them?--zombies?

Yeah. I have experience in that area now that I do not wish to repeat. [ o_o;; ]



[Private to Perceptor and Captain Marvelous]

Thank you, both of you, for coming to my aid.

I'm sorry to have put you in danger in the process of my rescue. If there's anything I can do to return the boon, please do tell me. I am in your debt.

What kind of books?

[winged_knight]

Mostly fiction I believe. Someone's already expressed interest in the history and reference books.

And uh...

Technically speaking.

Some erotica.

[ Wing is xeno-curious okay? Hush. ]

[originaldragoon]

Erotica?

[She is not even going to ask why a robotic life form would want to read something like that.]

What other fiction do you have besides those?

[winged_knight]

[ He's not going to mention the romance novels then either. ]

A few children's books, a handful of mysteries, and several things in the genre they call 'fantasy'.

[Yes he knows, it's a weird assortment.]

I can't really...leave a book behind in the Junk Pile when I find them. It just seems wrong.

[originaldragoon]

I cannot fault you there. It does seem to be a waste to leave books in the Junk Pile.

The mysteries sound interesting, so I can take those off your hands.

[winged_knight]

It does. That and alien literature fascinates me. [Don't ask how he reads them, it's complicated and involves optical zoom and makeshift tools.]

By all means, they're yours. Where can I deliver them to you?

[originaldragoon]

I am going to be by the Rec Center for a while, so you could give them to there.

[winged_knight]

I drop by the bar often. Er, for management reasons of course.

[Good one Wing, make yourself sound like a drunkard in addition to a debauchee. ]

Just ask for me when you come by, if I'm not there I'll leave them in a package with your name.
