O-kay! Imagine me dusting my hands off in accomplishment just there. I have some things to share with you all!
First, thanks to everyone who came down and helped clean up the Helix Station and get things running down there again. Home sweet home. I've run a few tests just to make sure, but it seems like our portal is safe and functional again. Credit where it's due, your Dr. Ingram does actually sometimes know what he's doing. So! If you guys need special tools or materials from home, or just want something to make your stay a little easier, we can get right back to doing those special orders! Just run it by me first, since there are still some limitations - can't be too big, for one, and I do kind of feel a little responsible for the stuff that comes through there so don't be too offended if I say no to your request for napalm unless you have a really important use for it.
This thing sucks up a lot of power when we pull in specific items, so let's start by just asking for one thing per person and I'll see how that goes. Got it?
Second, more good news! I've been trying out a few things based on Alastair's research. Repayment for the cleaning and all that, as promised. I tried doing the opposite direction this time - sent a note to a world, then was able to pull it back through, so that works. Does it work with living people, though? No idea. Let's not try until we get rid of the World Eater that's bearing down on us all, because I don't really like the idea of having you all turn yourselves to ambiguous goo by mistake and spending the rest of my days hiding under the lake by myself.
Lastly, I know some of you saved some samples of the other World Eater, right? Has anyone had a chance to look at it? Because it might be helpful to compare it with what we learned about the green-eyes we had here. I'd like to see if my ideas are right. It could be really helpful in making a more effective weapon. I want to help, and I've got the tools to build another bomb, but I want to do it right in case this is our one and only shot, so let me know if you've found anything out. Or if you have more plutonium, for that matter.
All right? All good? If we can beat this thing, this world might finally get to catch a break. I'd like to see life here. Real life, not like us. I think we've got a chance.

If it's close enough to eat the submarine it would be close enough to eat someone who tried to fly or teleport me - so probably better to be alone with a submarine.
Soldat was talking about using it in an emergency, but it seems like running may make things worse. Once it arrives I don't think we get a second shot at it.

I think I can add you and a few others as authorized to command the second submarine, if you're dead set on this. You and a few, because if something goes wrong for you I'd still want someone able to control it in a pinch. I can connect it to your tablets for remote access. That's probably better than a countdown. Normally not something I'd do, but... Obviously if I can't trust you guys now, there's no point to any of this. Might as well throw everything we can at this plan.
Come meet me at the harbor with maybe two or three others, and bring your tablets.
no subject
Not a resident anyway. Unless they were a spirit in disguise, which would be incredibly unsettling.
Very well. I'll meet you there.
