Fading Memory

Olympus Rising

Howdy all!

I spent a few days thinking and trying to see if a concrete idea would spark my muse, but even as I read through some of the already approved characters I’m not feeling a concept form. I’ll bow out at this time, but wish everyone a happy roleplay and an appreciation of seeing you all make good effort and progress :)

I'll lean into Zeus unless someone else comes along and desires it; no need to 'reserve' it, if someone makes a sheet before me I'm not bothered.

Lots of energy so far. If there’s room left over by the time I make any decisions, I don’t mind filling in some holes. I tend to be on the slower end of Guild activity rather than faster, just as a heads-up, so don’t mind me too much if everyone else gets into a fast groove.

If folks want to hear open declarations I suppose my initial gut reaction is for Big Z the Toxic God himself, or Apollo— but again, I stress, I do not have any solid ideas at this time and don’t mind filling holes.

Hey this sounds cool. I’ll stew on some brainwaves for a while and see if the muse strikes me.

Hey y'all, just making a declaration that this kind of lull is perfectly fine with me. I don't mind breaks and pauses. If folks come and go and this slow-burns along for a while that is perfectly satisfactory to me. So no pressure, no stress, just know I'm still here and checking in regularly to the Guild.

The trip was very enjoyable. Multiple hikes, lots of mountains, a couple waterfalls, and entirely too much off-diet excellent food. I have also concluded my frantic race to start my real-table TTRPG game, so my writing schedule potentially opens up for me to resume my other over-ambitious nonsense.

I have returned from my trip, all is well in GM-Land, huzzah for felicitations.

Lunar Dome 10

I will admit a slight hastiness to this particular update, as I am soon to leave for my trip. If I've failed to address something let me know and I will make note and update my post as I swap driving roles with the wife. Otherwise I will be unreachable once we get Wednesday for the rest of the week.

I empower each of you to embellish or supply small details and action-driving ideas freely, I will gently ret-con or guide things forward with my posts. I am more than happy to work with you guys taking some liberties like you all did based on the first Holiday post, that was excellent stuff, and I don't want you all 'stuck' waiting on me necessarily.

Lunar Dome 10

Mihail and Doctor Yingxue's various tests, requests, and queries will meander through their mutual specialties and reveal to them a confirming duality of technical readouts and data; the bite marks, saliva, and genetic material associated all point towards a creature that Holiday cannot identify-- and therefor not a creature native to Earth, the Concern's information banks, or her ability to make conjecture on. It is either an alien or an experiment, which she posits the following;

"It's possible that something has gone awry at Lunar Dome Nine. The scans I have made of the tunnels this creature seems to have chewed through our foundations potentially indicates that direction. Furthermore, His Majesty King George V has provided a physical specimen that he has found lodged in the faulty harvester. The silver lining is that our harvester will be fully operable soon."

And, just for the sake of brevity and permitting these characters to move somewhat more freely in their next posts, the two genetic and biological experts would be able to identify from the physical specimen and its DNA the tell-tale marks of man-made tampering and deliberate gene-splicing, with the genetic equivalent of a trademark stamp hidden within this data set that clearly confirm the LD-9 origin.

Holiday's voice emanates pleasantly from the hovering drone that has lingered by Prisoner 57104, her tone business-like and direct;

"I'll get right on assessing this now that it has been brought to my attention. Won't be but a jiffy, and I'll tell you how deep it goes."

The drone then drops quite sharply and begins flying downward into the chewed tunnels, a bright light pulsating off of its hull, and disappears from sight. In just a few minutes, Holiday's voice now comes from a nearby wall speaker, somewhat more tinny than the advanced drone's rendition of her Irish tones.

"Seems to me that this hole goes down beyond sublevel five, into the lunar surface itself. The direction trends beyond Lunar Dome 10's confines, and thus I am not capable of verifying exactly how far it goes. It is possible that this is an experiment from Lunar Dome Nine. I will alert Doctor Kaplan of this possibility. For now, I am going to have concrete mix poured into the holes. I can handle the bulk of this task myself."

---

And, indeed, Kaplan concurrently finds himself alerted by Holiday not only of Rhiannon's emoji ridden displays, but also by Holiday's ever-annoying and incessantly self-satisfied voice;

"Doctor Kaplan, current evidence indicates a foreign pest of some kind. Evidence indicates it is from the biological labs at Lunar Dome Nine. Do you want me to attempt to contact Lunar Dome Nine and connect you to them?"

---

Moonica's feverish eyes blink blearily at Rhiannon, before it lethargically and begrudgingly accepts physical diagnosis and treatment. The bite mark on its hind leg, quite high on its body, is absolutely not a subtle injury. Rhiannon certainly has to bandage or potentially stitch the cow's wound closed. Once this veterinary nonsense is settled, however, she moves on to check the other animals of the herds and coops.

Again, in the desire of some brevity, the other animals are all fine, but feel free to embellish the discovery of other branching holes in this section of the Dome. More than the one foreign creature have made their way into 10, and Rhiannon's wanderings will discover the entire set of five branching holes (which Holiday will steadily fill over the coming day). Something about this grazing area has attracted these foreign creatures.

I can appreciate the spirit of what's going on here, I'll approve it and consider applications closed for now. I'll make a note for you that Holiday will typically do what he asks, but sometimes even his security clearance runs into a wall of 'Technically that needs a manager'. Somehow a power-abusing security guard rounds out the cast quite well.
