Hi everyone. So with potential talk about traveling more, we might want to consider whether it will be worthwhile to create more gates with the places we go to. In order to do that we need relics. We do currently have enough (gates need four) to jump around, I know several of us have them, but it is possible that there are more in the ruins that people didn't pick up when we opened the first gates. It's sort of a 'the more the merrier' in case of emergency with them.
Info: the relics started out seeming normal and then a few days later glowing. They glow when a Displaced holds them, so we will eventually figure out which ones work. Any of us can hold them, it's not like they bind themselves to one of us. The relics were able to help during the monster attack by keeping the mind control/monster turning from happening. So they're helpful outside of the gates, but the gates are the main purpose.
Anyway, I was thinking of going on a quick expedition back to the four locations of the ruins and searching to see if there are more relics we can scoop up. If there are people here who want to come see them for the first time and see if a relic reacts to them, they're welcome to. I'm not sure if there's a one-relic one-person rule, I know that I picked up a bunch of relics and only one of them worked, so take that with a grain of salt. I was thinking maybe in a few days? So people can think about it and our newcomers to be a part of it if they want. We can start with Mt. Everest and then go over to New Oslo, New Cairo, and New Rio de Janeiro.
PS (I know I know shut up Q): Those of us who already have relics might want to make sure it is known to close friends that if they are sent back, their relic should be brought to Red Wings so they may be used by us in the future! I inherited my extra ones that way. I am also happy to show people how to use the gates themselves during this and how to close them. Okay I'm stopping now! Sound out in the comments.
Edited to add: I'm going to scout first to see if the yellow-eyed creatures are down there, because I don't want to put anyone at risk. I'll update if it seems questionable.

@shinobu.kocho
I've yet to go to any of the ruins, so I'd like to come along as well.
I see that you're thinking of scouting ahead for the monsters; would you mind if I joined you?
I was hoping to try and obtain samples of them, if possible.
And at the very least, I have medical training and can help patch you up if you need it.

I think it'll just be me and @ robert.plant for now (he's up above), but you can definitely talk to Dean about it, and about potentially getting samples. He created our Bestiary and knows a lot about creatures, he's wanted us to study them. So he might be into having another set of eyes on it!
And awesome, we are always in need of medics. I think you guys will like them when you get down there, especially if you're a nerd like me. The Rio ruin is under a Christian monastery, it's insanely beautiful in there.

This is much easier.
I did talk to him about it earlier, yes, and I've read his Bestiary.
He'd mentioned that previous samples that were collected have been destroyed, so this will be a good opportunity.
If he's leading this expedition, I'll speak to him about it.
I've never travelled outside of Japan before, so this will be a first for me in many ways.
I look forward to it.

Oh cool, this will be fun then. This will just be about the ruins and relics, but once I show you how to use the gates you should feel free to go explore the cities nearby too. I mean, not Everest, but the other cities are cool. I guess my big ambition would be to create gates at as many official cities as we can, o we'll always have fast travel options.
