[One of the more human voices goes on the network. Yeah, Albert's been off the comms for some time. For one, you guys chat way too much and Albert isn't exactly the biggest social butterfly. And two, Albert has been busy patrolling here and there. But, he felt he had to let the other people, at least the more sane ones, he was still alive. That and he had something to work out, something that's been hanging on his head for a long while. Maybe he could work it out with some of the people here, maybe not. Just talking can help sometimes. Sometimes.]

For the most part other than a few incidents, I haven't seen anything major pop up...yet. Which got me thinking. I mean, if something like...whatever happened could make you short circuit so easily, what's keeping a human from losing control? What's keeping them from malfunctioning?

I just think that...I'm not sure what to expect of this place. But whatever's going to happen, it won't be good. I haven't seen any signs yet, but from experience these kind of things happen without warning.

Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling, there's just a lot I need to sort out. And I don't think I can do it alone.

[He hits the feed off again once more.]

[Wing's been on the fringe of concerned for a while now, and only things like the rec center and Drift's attentions distracting him from that. But this post catches his attention.]

004. I hope you've recovered? [He also hopes he doesn't need to say from what.]

What do you qualify as 'major'?

Yeah, at least I can move now.

The only concerning thing has been the jaguar robot, I'm looking into to that. But as for any major threats like Prism or another rogue machine, I haven't seen any.

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

Jaguar is of deep concern to me as well. I'm fairly certain he's not of sound mind. His 'mission'--supposedly given to him by our god, contradicts everything that our creator holds dear. I'm not certain he can be reasoned with.

[Uh, he's obviously a little passionate about this part. Which is unusual compared to Wing's normally dulcet tones.]

There was an invasion before you arrived...thousands of monsters poured from the Lambda. He had to band together to defend Haven along with the First Forged.

[That's...pretty major.]

Don't know about you, but I don't like people who use god as excuse for what he's doing.

[Weird. He hadn't heard that. That's actually really concerning.]

Think another invasion could happen? Sounds pretty likely.

Trust me, I like it even less than you do.

[Belief and values as a driving force is okay, but using it as an excuse? Most certainly NOT.]

Honestly? [He chews on it a bit, noticeably.] Yes. There a threads of chaos everywhere here. Many things just don't add up or make sense. But least of all the Lambda and what it brings through. I know there is a force the First Forged work against...but perhaps it's more active than I thought...

Sounds like some kind of organization is working to rip this place apart. I'd say Black Ghost, but it's just too disorganized for their taste.

There's definitely something at work. I just don't know how much of it is linked and how much of it is coincidental. I'm honestly thinking I might ask Vector directly at this point...

[He frowns a bit, because he'd like to think they could sort this out before seeking counsel with the First Forged, but it's sounding like not.]

As for people losing control...I don't know what to do about that. In general I'd say it's rare for our species, but that's by normal standards.

And I think the very degree of normalcy that applies here is even up for debate.

[Needless to say he doesn't like that much either.]

Normalcy's kind of a moot point in our situation, don't you think?

I'd take it up with Solus, but I haven't really seen them...at all.

Granted...but it'd be nice to establish some, for comfort's sake. [Wishful thinking, but that's sort of what Wing does.]

There's an Acolyte in the main portion of the temple that you can leave a message with. I did, and it took me a few days to hear back from her, but she did send a reply.

I know the feeling there.

I just might if things get worse. They owe us an explanation at the very least.

[He nods.] I think we all do.

I think they do, at this point. I understand why they didn't tell us originally...it'd create widespread panic or hostility for little to no productive reason...but I feel like we're involved now. I want to know more as well. Forewarned is forearmed.
