Hey, is this thing on? ... whaddya know, it is. Wow.

If anybody on board Stacy is listening, this is Roger Maxson. A number of us've been shunted to a previously unknown part of the ship, a pretty inaccessible one with some extremely odd rooms and tenants. We've been forcibly incommunicado this whole time but if I'm reading this right, people should be able to pick up on our signals now, and the transport tubes are starting to look like a viable option for getting back. Anyone out there able to verify that I'm not just talking to an inconveniently glowing chunk of metal and glass here?

Hey, you're alive! Awesome news. Was starting to get worried up here.

[first_of_steel]

Hey there, Scribe. Yep. Still alive and kicking, along with a good... mmm, dozen or so others. What've we missed?

[snarkingscribe]

Just a bunch of us wonderin' where the heck you guys went.

There's also apparently a wedding in the works.

[first_of_steel]

Wedding, huh? Who do I owe congratulations to?

[snarkingscribe]

Billy and Ronnae are the names!

[first_of_steel]

Can't say I recognize either name, but I'll wish 'em both well. People drafted into a situation like this deserve all the support they can get.

I wonder if these transport tubes'll actually work this time. Not that I object to having a working comm, you understand. I'm just looking forward to getting back.

[snarkingscribe]

I know Billy's someone I need to talk to about getting involved with helping out tech-wise - I should probably wait a while now, though, heh. And yeah - it's a good sign to see that even with all the crap we've gotten dragged into that such things can happen.

Hopefully they will! Best of luck.

[first_of_steel]

Thanks. See you on the other side, eh?

[snarkingscribe]

Hope so!

This is Kanoe Zouichi from Security. You're coming through just fine.

Welcome back.

[first_of_steel]

Glad to hear it. I think we're all more or less in one piece down here.

[zouichi]

Good news. For a second, we thought you'd all been repodded.

[first_of_steel]

Nope. Just lost. We've been scouting out the area we found ourselves in, but there hasn't been much luck with trying to reestablish communications or connection until just now.

[zouichi]

Interesting that the Omnicomms would fail to work like that. I wonder how many other dead areas are aboard the ship.

[first_of_steel]

Don't know, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a survey done of the edges of the known areas. I can probably get started on that myself once I've gotten back to the main zone and straightened a few things out.

[whyarewehere]

i hear ya.

dude, what happened? was it glados?

[first_of_steel]

No clue. I was trying to reach Hydroponics and got into one of the transport tubes. Hit the deck somewhere I'd never seen before and the tube was unresponsive when I turned around. Couldn't get the omnicomm to work, but at least I found a bunch of other crew and a subsidiary living quarters and mess hall to work out of- that functioned about the same.
