[text] ; a few days after the breach is sealed

[shroudedsecrets]

Greetings.

The conditions outside of the barrier are extremely poor, confirming what had been indicated to us previously. The atmosphere is heavy, and full of toxins, and currently uninhabitable.

I have attached some images for those who may be curious.

Be aware, however, that for those of you who might have the ability to withstand such conditions in your previous universes, it will still pose a danger to you here.


... That is all.


[And as the text indicates, attached to this fairly open message are quite a few snapshotted images, and even a brief shaky video or two taken of the outside just beyond the breach, indicating the state of the wall from the outside just before the repairs were completed.

A few shots focus on the conditions of the broken and corroded buildings, ones that indicated that the city had once been larger. One of these shots even captures an odd looking small lizard, hiding among the rubble.

There's a few wider shots of the area, revealing some bleached bones of a large, unidentifiable creature among empty expanses of dry, cracked wasteland, a little further off.

Lastly there seem to be slightly blurred images of some of the monster activity, from further away.]

Can confirm: sucks balls. Whatever's out there is NOT good for the soul.

Going incorporeal might limit the effects, but it won't make you immune, either.

Stay safe out there, kids

[Yes. good follow up. It stands on it's own, almost, as she gets caught up in fielding followup and all manner of other things until late.

Late late it's stupid o'clock and she can't. rest.]


are you

awake

[necromanswers]

[huhwhat WHAT TIME IS IT]

I am now

So, in other words, "we were dumbasses and went outside for [He clears his throat and you can hear the air quotes in his voice.] 'science' and almost died. 0 out of 10, don't recommend."

How is it that the human child is the only other one with common sense in this household?!

[shroudedsecrets]

you are aware that we were confirming the situation.

now we all know for certain.



you need not raise your voice so much.

[Okay, well, these photos are pretty rad even if they are really concerning. Having confirmation is great but. Also.]

Hey uh. Are you

you know

okay?? ?

[shroudedsecrets]

not dead.


but not well.

[Even setting up the information had taken a lot of effort.]

[pinkmin]

Thank you for this additional information. I hope it did not cost too much to obtain.

[And then a few moments later, an additional:]

There is some kind of lizard in one of your photographs. Did you see it?

text;

[shroudedsecrets]

there was not much time to observe it. with the

heaviness of the air it relied on being close to the ground.

[this_loser]

wait wait wait

what happened? ARE YOU OKAY?

do I need to come over?

[shroudedsecrets]

collecting data.

illness was sudden, but we made it back.

are you going to shout too?

[astralera]

Hello
I didnt think totake pictures.
It is good that you did
I do have samples
of things

[shroudedsecrets]

you were able to collect samples?

that is good. it will lend more data to consider later.

[He never misses an opportunity for video, even if he's getting text back. Right now, he gives her a brief round of applause.]

That's dedication! This is some useful stuff. So this was the kind of planet it was all along . . . it's a little nostalgic. How're you feeling after all that adventure out there?

[He has his suspicions, considering the content of her message and what was between the lines.]

text;

[shroudedsecrets]

it is interesting... if this was the original form of the planet before they had arrived or if something else changed it, later. did something strike you as familiar?

[Seemed about right, for him. Though she's not certain what to think about all the inquiries she's received about her actual condition.]

the venture did lead to illness.

[wannabethehero]

[Kiwi is. Genuinely horrified by the pictures.]

Oh my gosh...

Is Havenwell really all that's left?

text;

[shroudedsecrets]

there has not been any evidence to indicate otherwise, yet...

but it says a lot, for its current state.

( video )

[heron]

That was very foolish of you.

text;

[shroudedsecrets]

it was necessary to gather data.

we need to know what surrounds us.

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

...Very good information to collect. You did well.

[You better believe he was studying those images and videos very closely.]

It seems I was right in my guess that I would need to build a sealed craft in order to traverse outside, particularly for any length of time.

[text]

[shroudedsecrets]

indeed. and even then, the material it is made from would have to be strong enough to withstand the levels of corrosion.

or other potential interference.
one would have to run many tests to determine the possibility.
it would be terrible to become ill and trapped in such a craft should something go wrong.

[thermoregulate]

It really is apocalyptic. . .

[shroudedsecrets]

the state of their world was by no means an exaggeration.
the area directly that was directly exposed to it by the breach may need to be.

observed. to ensure that it is not. compromised.

[iustaegis]

[ Having read over some of the other replies, she believes that most have already given their well wishes. Still, it cannot hurt to have one more... even from a total stranger. ]

It both sounds and looks hazardous. I hope you are well. While I'm newly arrived, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. :)

It seems that if anyone were to do some sort of exploring outside, they would need a vehicle or a type of suit, especially for those among us who are human. How did you manage to survive?

[shroudedsecrets]

there are those among us who may possess magic or abilities or more. durability. to survive such conditions.

but even that does not make one... infallible to such effects.

[She seems to think this is a reasonable explanation.]
