There are things we need before we can even consider rescuing any of them.

Information, primarily speaking.

Now I don't care where it comes from or how it was obtained, I just need every scrap of information anyone has on this situation. Perhaps it's not much on an individual scale, but compiling everything into one source may grant us more insight.

I've gone ahead and created such a document, though it is locked down for security reasons- as all informative responses to this should be. I've granted some individuals access, and will continue to do so as I sort through responses. Everyone with access will have the ability to add their knowledge to it, as well as share the document with others. Moderately complex perhaps, but it's an attempt to keep the information leaks to a minimum.

There's not much there at the moment, as it only reflects my observations so far, but collaborative discussion of course is highly encouraged. I will store frequent back-up copies in case of error.

((ooc: As the Gdoc is open to everyone, feel free to assume access- or don't, if you want your character to badger him about it instead.
Update: This post and the attached document are now under Qubit's qgeocrypt so that only devices inside the US will be able to access them. This means all captives have been locked out!))

[This girl makes him look like a social butterfly and it's a bit disconcerting. Still, he can appreciate her straight-forward approach, because small talk is terrible.

He nods.]

Do be careful up there.

I'll be fine.

[look, she's trying her best to integrate to a society that is almost the polar opposite of her own. and hey! she even manages to give an awkward little smile that's meant to be reassuring.

Lapis lingers for a moment, just in case he has something else he needs to tell her. when the silence begins to stretch out to an uncomfortable amount, she figures it's acceptable to leave.]

...bye.

[true to her word, a little over four hours after retrieving the camera from StarkTech Hermann receives a text. it's simple, but this time it's because Lapis is a little distracted by navigation.]

There's no one up here but me. If they're in space, it's a lot farther out than you thought.

[mathemagier]

Unlikely, given this world's technology. It wouldn't make much logical sense either. I appreciate you for looking for them. Perhaps we'll be able to rule that out and begin searching on Earth itself.

[oceanthief]

You'll probably have better luck on the planet than up here. Humans have never really been that great with space travel.

[mathemagier]

I suppose I can't argue with that. Now we'll simply need to decide where to start our search over again.

[oceanthief]

At least you've got a lot less ground to cover.

[and are now dealing with stuff Lapis can't help with, even if she really cared to. earth geography is not in her wheelhouse.]
