To: Heroes of Light (Mognet Central Bug | 15th April)

[melodiesnpcs]

[ A bug in Mognet Central makes it so that any mail sent between the NPCs on this day is accidentally be distributed to all the Heroes of Light. NPC mails are inside. If you'd like to reply to them, you can start a new thread in this post. If you want to tag a NPC in particular to reply to you, please put their names in the header or somewhere in the mail.

The Staff of Mognet would like to apologize about that accident. ]

I don't get it, why should we worry about it?

Biggs

[melodiesnpcs]

Because it is progressing and accelerating. It is barely noticeable at the moment, but give it a few months and it will become very noticeable.

-- Jessie

[melodiesnpcs]

So if I get what you're saying, within ten years or so it'll have covered the entire planet?

— Wedge

[melodiesnpcs]

Ten years is very optimistic. I expect the Imperial City to be crystallized within a couple months. For the world, I'd give it a few years at best.

-- Jessie

[melodiesnpcs]

[ This replies comes noticeably later in the day. ]

Alright, I'm gonna speak with Cid about that, then I think you should contact the governments of Flence, Trano and Balicea about this. Biggs, since you're supposed to go to Esdham you should probably tell them. Until we're sure, we shouldn't make any public announcement about this.

— Wedge

[melodiesnpcs]

What about the Heroes of Light? Okay we shouldn't let people know yet, but they're the ones who went to the Research Facility. They're involved in this much more than we are.

Biggs

[melodiesnpcs]

I don't think we should tell them yet. We don't know what happened there exactly and how involved in this crystallization process. At best we'll alarm them for nothing, at worst we'll worsen the situation.

— Wedge

[melodiesnpcs]

Goddammit, if they're really the Heroes of Light, that's the kind of thing you want them to know. And if they're not, they still come from other worlds and can help. You're the one who's preached for months to trust them and help them, how about you start putting your own words into practices?

Biggs

[melodiesnpcs]

All I am saying is until we know more, we shouldn't say anything. Last time something happened they jumped into the empire without warning, what are they doing to do if we say that? That's too dangerous.

— Wedge

[melodiesnpcs]

They're adults (for the most part). Stop babysitting everyone and let them do what they want out of this information. I don't like them, but lying to them now reeks of hypocrisy.

Biggs

[melodiesnpcs]

I'm not babysitting anyone, but what would it change to tell them, aside from panicking them on one hand, and seeing them running back there in hope of doing changing?

— Wedge

[melodiesnpcs]

They couldn't go back there. An imperial airship has tried going to the facility and got attacked by a crystal pillar. It is now crystallized as well.

Whatever it is causing the crystallization process, it is aware and sentient. Come to my lab as soon as you can, i'll tell you my theories.

-- Jessie

[melodiesnpcs]

Whatever, lie to them if you want, don't be surprised if it backfires at you.

Biggs

[melodiesnpcs]

We'll be there.

— Wedge

[ The discussion ends here. ]

[What. What. Where does he even start with all of this? The most pressing question would be why is he getting these letters in the first place? But when Sparks notices Red is getting the same copies delivered, and Mognet's penchant for suddenly sending out mail to the wrong people from time to time, he thinks he knows what's going on here.]

Jessie -

I hope you know that your little pow-wow with Biggs and Wedge about the growing crystal got sent to me. And Red. And probably lots of other people. I think the jig is effectively up.

I'm going to ask nicely for an explanation. Reckon you'll be kind enough to do so before you have a torch mob showing up at your door.

I'm afraid to say the heroes received your messages and also that there is an implication that Mognet isn't safe so others might have as well. I made sure to send this to all of you so that you knew of this error.

Wedge, thank you for thinking of us but I do believe that Biggs is correct in saying that we deserve to know. Some of the heroes are rash and sometimes reckless but it is our decision to be so. It is better for us to learn what we can now while we have time as little and precious as it might be.

I hope you will be able to tell us what is going on and allow us to help. You've done so much for us since we woke up here and I know that I personally would be happy to return the favor. If it was caused by going into the Facility to rescue our friends then we might also have information that could help as well.

Of course the decision is yours.

I would like for us all to meet. If you are willing to come to the observatory so that any hero can attend. We have set up a rather large meeting room. Please know that even though this isn't where we are from, for now it is our home and we will protect it. I speak for myself but I know there are others with similar thoughts to my own.

An unfortunate time for Mognet to act up. I just got intel from O'aka and a few other sources about what is happening in imperial territories. It appears that what has happened in the Research Center has caused the region to crystallize. Furthermore, the crystallization process is growing and accelerating. Based on my preliminary observations, it has the potential to reach this entire planet.

Before you send the torch mob at my door, please be kind enough to tell them I am only processing the information I received and not ready yet to formulate a perfect theory.

-- Jessie

To Jessie

[nodreamsorhonor]

Jessie,

I believe there is a lot that we may need to tell you, some of which may come as a shock and some that you may have noticed during your research. If you are available for a discussion, please send me word.

---Genesis Rhapsodos

[melodiesnpcs]

[ The letter comes in with a delay. ]

It is very unfortunate that Mognet had such a problem today, this is not how we would have liked to reveal this information. We will tell you what it is all about-- If you have received the mails, then you know about as much as I do. It is possible this world is threatened by something originating from the Heran Research Facility, and lest we do something it may destroy this world.

We would be happy to attend a meeting to speak with you all, if that if what you want. Cid is working on the Enterprise, Biggs may have to leave for Esdham soon and Jessie is busy processing the information you just heard about, so if you want a reunion we can all attend, it will have to wait a few weeks.

Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge,

It might not be my place to say this, but if we're supposed to be the Heroes of Light, you should try to trust us. I know that's a lot to ask - we're not from this world, and you've only known us for a short time - but something else I know, absolutely, is that hope is stronger than despair. Even if things look bad, even if you don't trust us, even if you doubt our abilities or our motives... let us do what we can to help. Let us prove ourselves. And gradually, maybe you'll overcome that doubt and be able to truly believe in us.

I am currently processing the information you just read, and dealing with the influx of mails from people who saw this conversation.

If it is really important, then please avoid using Mognet to say it until the current bug is fixed, and come to my laboratory next week. I think one of you asked to have a meeting at the Observatory as well, so pick at your convenience.

-- Jessie

[melodiesnpcs]

I'm the one who's voted to reveal the information to you. But while I agree, trust is a two-way road. When did you plan on telling us about your little trip in imperial territories or the dream you had a few months ago, sometimes next year?

Biggs

[goddessofthesky]

Thank you,

I will notify the others then that we will have a meeting in a few weeks time.

We do have some information that you might not if you wish to use it to help your research in this matter. There were many things in the facility that others had found. We discussed it at great length and have some thoughts of our own. It isn't safe to send this information through Mognet, even though Kopula has gotten into the habit of sending my messages by hand.

If you would like to meet prior to that please let me or the any other hero know. Everyone has their own accounts and own theories. More information might be better but I can understand that it can also be overwhelming and often times filled with speculation.

Thank you again,

~Zelda

The results of the Imperial Triple Triad Tournament were published in all the local newspapers. That's all I was personally involved in while I was there.

-Chiaki

[melodiesnpcs]

I will contact you as soon as we'll have the possibility to do so. expect it to be by the end of the month or early in May at worst.

— Wedge
