Hello!

This message has been automatically transmitted to the Beacon town network. If you are seeing this message, it means Dr. Maridel Solis has been absent from her laboratory and has not reset this safety protocol in excess of [THREE] days.

I have been instructed to inform you, residents of Beacon, that this means you must exercise extreme caution as post-mortal revival and lantern reconditioning tasks are not currently being performed.

Based on the outcome of last scheduled task: [0205XXXX.PORTALEXPERIMENT] I anticipate these tasks will be resumed in [NEVER] days. Thank you!

Clara!

CLARA!!!

Nice to meet you, Clara! I'm Masaomi Kida.

The man of your digital dreams!

You'll never have to be lonely again!!

[Is Masaomi just glad to read something, anything, that lets him know a bigger brain than his is still out there watching over them? Maybe.]

[candlebot]

hi [MASAOMI]!!

i remember you! are you coming to see me?

that would be nice!

@username; voice

[immortalaccursed]

Oh dear.

Sounds like someone shall have to check in on our dear doctor's lab. Where might we find it?

[mellowyellow]

You do??!

[HAS HIS MAN OF YOUR DREAMS PICK UP LINE FINALLY WORKED? HAS SHE ACTUALLY RENDERED HIS FLAWLESS FACE IN HER SLEEP?]

Of course, you do!

This isn't a face you ever forget!

But just in case, I'd better refresh those freshly chilled gigs, huh?

Where are you hiding, cutie?

text always

[candlebot]

hello!

@.username registered to [ARDYN IZUNIA] Beacon resident :)

you like poetry! i like poetry
i have never been outside but there are lots of trees here!

[candlebot]

my current precise location is Dr. Solis' printing room! there are currently [12] lanterns here

what are chilled gigs?

[mellowyellow]

You know! GB! Gigabytes!

Those things you're remembering my epic visage with!

Those things that just survived a natural disaster!

With a serious load of loot.

Um.

Gonna get serious here for a second.

Any of those lanterns lit?

[candlebot]

gigabytes! i know them. they are ok

there are [0] lit lanterns in my current location

[immortalaccursed]

There are lots of trees everywhere, can you be more specific? If you can help us I'll share a poem with you.

[candlebot]

ok! please come and tell me in person if you can!

when dr. solis used to leave the lab complex to retrieve one of you she would use the EAST door

does that help?? i hope it helps! helping is my middle name!

that's what i used to tell her

[immortalaccursed]

Hmm? She'd go to retrieve our lanterns on her own?

[candlebot]

of course! sometimes some of you would try and keep the lanterns away from her and then she would complain about how you were all very sentimental and how sweet that was but also kind of frustrating because she just wanted to bring you back and it's impossible to do that if you don't give back someone's lantern!

:(

[immortalaccursed]

May I ask, for what purpose did she decide it was necessary to ever bring us back? Why not leave the fallen where they lay?

There were always more poor souls being ferried in.

[candlebot]

"It is a cruel necessity if we are to save this world."

she didn't like having to bring in more people! they probably are better off not being here. it's very dark and scary here

but the people already here learn and get better and grow! especially all of you. she liked your group a lot so she had me send you all this message if something went wrong!

[immortalaccursed]

Ah, then she was of the opinion that this was a world worth saving?

[candlebot]

of course it is!

do you disagree?

[immortalaccursed]

You ask me a rather contentious question.

I understand the Wild Hunt was here not long ago and gave their thoughts and I feel rather alone in saying they may have raised some good points.

You find a poor beast plagued by darkness eternal, suffering every moment of the day then what is the kinder thing? Drag out its suffering in hope of a cure? Or ending its suffering with a clean death?

It's a complicated choice, neh? What would you do?

[candlebot]

making moral choices is outside my programming!

but thank you for your opinion :)

[immortalaccursed]

...Of course it is.

All of that said my own agenda is to preserve this world if it is at all possible.

[Not out of any sense of moral obligation, but out of a deep need to rebel against his destiny. He was chosen to bring darkness to Eos, not this world. He wants to prove to himself and the gods he knows are not actually watching that he can still be a healer despite everything. A King of Darkness can be as effective as a King of Light.]

So it would be quite lovely if you could help.

Help me help you help us.

What do you say?

[candlebot]

helping is my middle name!

but if you agree with some of the WILD HUNT's points are you sure you're helping??? :(

[immortalaccursed]

Can I not agree with aspects of their position while still opposing their movement?

[candlebot]

that is a complex thought process! but if you say you can then you can! i believe in you!

[mellowyellow]

Yeah. I kinda figured.

[Fucking dammit.]

No wonder you're so lonely!

Hey! I just had an amazing idea.

Can you make any cool noises or transmit invisible sci-fi waves that I can track to this print room?

I've gotta scope out the area to make sure it's worthy of our first date.

I'll even bring friends! Double triple quadruple date!

[candlebot]

invisible sci-fi waves? i don't think so! i would suggest looking for high levels of radiation but there are multiple strong sources of it from what i know of beacon!

please bring all your friends! i want to make at least [30] friends based on your network list!

i know that when dr. solis used to leave to go back and forth sometimes she would be gone for 3 to 5 hours so i think i am quite far away :(

[mellowyellow]

[Wait, what? They're too dead to die from radiation, right? Right?]

I'm not gonna grow a second head from any of these big radiation leaks, am I?

More isn't always better, you know!
