Greetings.

I'm sure we've all seen Clara's post. Without Doctor Solis no one can be revived, making death permanent and meaning we all must exercise additional caution around our lanterns. It's critical we get to the lab and retrieve the notes that the Doctor left, then perhaps we can bring back those who have fallen or understand more about the portal that was used to bring us here.

I have a vague idea of where the lab is, but it's several hours out and I don't want to have a group of us wander aimlessly looking for it. Does anyone here have a better idea of how to pinpoint it? There's an image of stars taken from the doorway of the lab if anyone knows how we could use such a thing to navigate.

Fjord, could the tunnels you found possibly connect to the lab? Do you know which way they were leading?

That wasn't just flirting! [Orly?] I promised I'd find her!

[flangirl]

Of course. There's an older version on the network, but I think it still contains the information we might need.

[ That link, she sends him privately. ]

[ As Soldat arrives first, though, he gets the full wind of her. Explosion. Whether Matt shows up at The Invincible or not, at least Soldat is able to relay the info. ]

[paletteswap]

Do you have any relevant skills to bring to this expedition.

[mellowyellow]

I know how to survive in the forest! If I can do it alone, there's no way I'd be a burden on a group.

[He's not lying, but Masaomi is also aware that these aren't relevant skills. They're not unique either. He's grasping at straws.]

[paletteswap]

Not dying isn't necessarily a skill. How are you at fighting should we be attacked?

[He also thinks you're like 10.]

[mellowyellow]

I can fight!

[Once again, not a lie. But...]

Even without all your crazy, supernatural powers.

[paletteswap]

You don't need powers to be able to fight, you simply need training.

We need to narrow down her location before anything is decided. Do not get too excited.

[flangirl]

[ Pudding blinks once, twice, and then seems to jump a foot out of her skin, within her own skin. ]

Oh! Oh, no, I'm sorry, Soldat, I didn't think about - I'm sorry, no, of course you aren't. That's fine. As long as someone who is going has it. I - sorry.

[ This time she's the one Really Very Much Not Making Eye Contact. ]

[This time they do smile a little.]

It's okay. I just wanted you to know, so you know who to pester if they don't get things done according to your standards.

[(Damn, she apologizes a lot. More than we do. I'll say.)]

[flangirl]

[ Pudding. Falters. Glances up at the other. And then stifles a laugh behind both hands. ]

Oh you.

[ Soldat's teasing would get her a lot more worked up if it wasn't so obvious and over the top for everything else about him. ]

Okay. Okay, I get it. I'll let you go. I'll send you the link to the digital logbook later and let you know if I find a month in that or the paper one. I didn't see anything more specific in there, but I'll look again.

[That's the fun thing about having a sense of humor when you're easily mistaken for a robot, half the time. You really get to surprise people with it when you do exercise it.]

And I'll make sure Matt and Kuai get it, if there's any change. The 1969 code fits the wear pattern, and 4 digits is standard on Earth for codes. So at least it's a good starting point.
