[The video is facing away from Moa's face, and towards an overstuffed binder. In the corners of the screen you can see other things: what looks like a clunky, old version of the communicators; a small pile of old posters advertising various things; a dead and dried rose. A few of the things brought back from the Spero trip.

Moa begins to speak. She sounds like she's keeping her voice very level and devoid of emotion.]

Green died on the way back from Spero. She was very sick, and she ended up drawing a gun. I'm sorry.

We saw a lot of things. And we brought back most of it, too. [Pause.] I want to show you this first.

[Then her hands are reaching out to the binder, which she opens to the first page and then slowly goes through, letting the camera record all of it. Here under "Binder" is all the information she is showing. Through it she makes no comments.

When we reach the last of it, she slowly closes the book and sets it down.]

...Minato, do you think I could come see you?

[The video turns off.

After a few moments something is added to the message.

Private to Lolita and Holden // 75% unhackable]

I'm sorry. And - ....and I know...everyone else is...not going to be sorry. But I...I am.

I... didn't...want this to happen.

[click.]

[ooc: I didn't see anyone else claiming the binder, so it is in inventory for public consumption, along with the communicator with the apple recording (henceforth to be known as the applecator!). She'll let you look at them if you want to come over.]

A pan-what?

...I...this is weird. But I guess we should have figured they'd picked us somehow.

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

It's like a...television. It was attached to the telescope on the Observatory.

...[But it's still creepy. SO CREEPY. ;< ]

I wonder if there are notes about the rest of us somewhere.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Oh! There's another observatory over there?

Probably... So the scientists worked out of Spero? If they did, it was probably awhile ago. Those are all notes from us that were here...a long time.

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[Myo?] Ahuh. But there's not one in Discedo...?

There was no one there when we got there. [...] But where are they now? Nevermind, no one knows the answer to that one...

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

I've never seen one.

Hmm...

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

...then where are they?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

I think they used to be in the hospital basement. But when we cleared it out, they must've moved someplace else. It's weird, we've been here all this time, and nobody's found them.

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

....

We used to see them sometimes. Why did they go away?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Maybe we got too close. Too involved.

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[...D:]

What?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're afraid if we're too involved with their work, too close to them, we might find out how to get back home. So they keep their distance after they're done needing us...for this and that.

...

[She is totally gonna start crying. Maybe.]

That's a horrible thing to think.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

You don't think it could be true?

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

....I don't care if it could be true. It's still horrible.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

But if it is true...

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[That might have been a little sniffle. ....]

Then what? What do we do?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what we do...

Same as we've been doing, till they show up.
