For recent arrivals and anyone who missed it before, a few weeks ago I compiled what information I could find about our experienced here into a document. It needs to be updated with recent events, such as the offer from Riverstone, but should otherwise be mostly complete up to a short time ago. Like last time I posted this, if anyone has corrections or additional information, please let me know.

On a related note, I was wondering if anyone who's still here has met Johann Grey in person or otherwise seen him, and would be willing to share that memory with me. I just want to know what he looks like, not whatever experience you had with him (unless you want to go into that), so it could be as short of a memory as you'd like for it to be.

Similarly, I wanted to know if anyone met or saw images of the James Henries in Zerzura. I don't have any real reason to believe he isn't actually the same person, or at least versions of the same person, as the James Henries here, but it's still worth verifying.

For everyone who isn't particularly interested in or otherwise doesn't have input on the other things I mentioned, I have a different question. What's something that you wished that you knew when you first arrived here?

Hey, package me in on that JPG thing. I need as many details as you can get.

[lifetothefullest]

I'll let you know; I have a theory right now, but need a little more evidence first.

[righteously]

evidence shmevidence what's your theory

[lifetothefullest]

Evidence is important, and unfortunately explaining my theory just yet could skew results, but I promise I'll tell you once I know for sure. Hopefully that will be soon.

How's your project coming along? Have you had a chance to work on it?

Your compendium has been immensely helpful, Mr. Sweets, thank you. It may have taken those of us less technologically competent months to gather all this on our own.

[ those of us meaning him. ]

[lifetothefullest]

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it. I'm good with technology in my time, but this is still a lot to get used to, so I can't imagine.

And just Lance is fine.

[Titles are weird, especially since he hasn't told anyone the actual correct one, so might as well go informal.]

[unwings]

Lance. Was research a regular aspect of your life before coming here? You seem skilled with it.

[lifetothefullest]

Thank you. Yes, I'm an FBI profiler, so I do a lot of research for my job.

@jyn.erso

[realists]

No one saw Henries there. People who worked for him couldn't even describe him, he was just their reclusive leader.

[lifetothefullest]

That's really interesting to know, thank you. Was that something treated as normal there, or like he was a bit unusual in this?

[realists]

They didn't seem to understand why we were asking. Even with telepathy or whatever it's called.

When we woke up some of the natives were in this world too but I don't think they know what happened. I could try to find one for you if you want.

[heliophilous]

Never saw anything related to Henries. But, I was kind of out of my head in Zerzura. I thought maybe it was just a general name for a group of people but no, I think it's one person.

( one very well hidden person. )

One thing I wished I'd known when I came here is that there wasn't any paper. I would have brought some with me.

[lifetothefullest]

Being a general name is actual a good theory, though I'm not sure if it's the case or not. I might be able to get back to you more on that later.

[Depending on other factors.]

Yeah, paper's been pretty high on the list of complaints I've heard over my time here.

[heliophilous]

Seems like it'd be a good way to throw people off. Get a group of people and have them all say who they are. Throws suspicion all over the place.

( he might have to utilize that when he gets home. )

Guess there are other things. Paper's a big thing but I would have liked to know things like time not moving back home. That might have been good to know so I didn't panic.

@gabriel.reyes

[gravemistake]

Yeah, I met Johann.

[lifetothefullest]

Would you be willing to share enough of the memory that I could see what he looks like?

[gravemistake]

Sure, but I was kind of having brain surgery at the time.

[ This document that Lance has put together continues to be impressive, and it does make Jack wonder at what his profession was before the two interdimensional kidnappings. A quick glance through the network offers up the answer: FBI profiler. Well, that makes a whole lot of sense.

Someone like that is worth knowing given their situation, and while Jack can't say he's willing to offer Lance his trust just because of some of their shared experiences, a working relationship isn't a bad idea.

So, he'll bite. ]

Seems like you've got some intel on Johann Grey already. What else did you want to know, exactly?

[lifetothefullest]

Anything that I don't already have and you're willing to share. The more information that we have, especially about someone who seems to be involved in so many places, the better.

Specifically, I was hoping to find out what he looks like; I know some Displaced have met him, and there's a description of him, but it's unfortunately very general. It seems like one of those pieces of information that might end up being very useful.

[personalwar]

It might seem "general" because he doesn't have much in the way of distinguishing traits. He'd come across as unassuming until you started talking to him, I'd think.

[ Or until you were on an exam table and at his mercy. ]

@ellie.miller

[notathreat]

Okay Lance to answer your question, THIS
What @ robert.plant just said
People mentioned monsters but THIS is good shit to share with the class

@robert.plant

[righteously]

I plan on slapping that up for the general public once it's done. Maybe linking it up to the new hire pamphlet.

[notathreat]

Awesome, thanks
Related ish: do we have a stockpile of weapons anywhere just in case we get another round of these? I'll make do with a brick and a molotov, but a shotgun or two would go a long way.

[lifetothefullest]

Don't worry, I'll include it in my information once he's finished with it.

[notathreat]

Thanks.
Guess this place wasn't as far off from home as I thought it was.

[A pause, and then-]

Your file helped a lot.
