We've recently lost a few guardians, and Sam Wilson, when he used to be here, had a running list of people who would volunteer if it was necessary.

If you'd like to add your name to the list, let me know here. This will especially help for the children who come through without anyone else from their world.

Waking up from a dreamless sleep is quite an experience. One I'm not too eager to repeat. Losing six days and not even realising it has put me in that perpetual state of "I know I'm forgetting something."

It is with regret that I turn in my two week notice of resignation as receptionist. I shall place an advertisement over the Network for the position, and will gladly train the replacement. Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with you, the experience was amazing.

[Private to Nadia Van Dyne]
Effective immediately, I shall be resuming my former duties as Mr Stark's butler. I've given the Resettlement Bureau my two week's notice, and shall be moving into Mr. Stark's mansion. Mr Stark has been told that I am your guardian, and is perfectly alright with you moving in, as well.

Has anything "claiming" happened to people here? Has anyone disappeared today? Thirteen souls claimed that we must get back is not the most promising of invitations, even when announced politely on high quality paper in calligraphy. Given what I have seen and heard, it seems like words to be taken literally. Beyond that, it could sound promising.

We've discovered another portal here. It appears to have gone offline on the date of the attack on soldiers at our base during the 90s and then come online again the day of the attack.

There are records of others having come through this portal. I'm enclosing their names and the information we have about them in a file. We need someone to try and locate where they might currently be.

We have a body to transport back for an autopsy as well as several photographs and video evidence to go through.

We're still working through numerous sources of material here and will report in anything else we might find.

If you have been on shift for more than 12 hours today, you are required to utilize the room designated for rest and get a few hours of sleep before continuing with work.

I don't remember the countdown this time, and I usually do. It's weird. No new experiment-related costume. No task. Not a fan of these where you have to figure it out along the way. At least the train was simple: here's your job, here's your secret task. Go forth and do as you will.

ROMEO:
I'm assuming that this is one of those experiments like the jungle with the volcano where we have to tough it out and survive. I didn't get any instruction, and these people weren't very helpful.

Then again, you usually like to let us do our own thing and figure it out along the way. If I need any help, I'll try to figure it out on my own, but I might end up asking you anyway.

[Natasha Romanoff, Peggy Carter]
Now we've got a routine going we should probably look at doing some more in-depth research. The most direct evidence on the military base has been wiped out and census records only go up to 1940 so far, but there are other sources that could give clues - church and land records from the 50s and 90s could show people appearing or disappearing with the opening and closing of the base and archives of small local newspapers or genealogical periodicals that are restricted to microfiche or card indexes might give some clues about what was going on. Since that would involve going to the site there might be a chance of talking to older people about what they remember too. In nearby towns the memory manipulation effects might be different since they aren't witnessing things firsthand. They most likely won't know anything solid, but there could be something unexpected.

One of the portals that opened yesterday dropped off a selection of plants and other things related to Pokemon care. We've tried to identify most of it, but if you have the time it would be a big help if you could go over it to confirm. Obviously school's a priority right now since I imagine it's the middle of final exams and projects. This isn't very time sensitive so it can wait until that's out of the way.

[info]thearchitect

[Attached is a 357 page, highly technical and scientific document with a series of complex mathematical theorems. However, names are named. Read on!]

Hello,

I thought I would take a moment to introduce my latest research which, given the disappearances, appearances and reappearances of loved ones, might be of interest to others at this time. In the document I have, based on the months I have been here and data gathered from network posts before that, calculated the possibility of disappearances and reappearances based on:

1. Homeworld connections
2. Romantic connections

The details are all in the report for your perursal.

In layman’s terms, I believe there may be a sort of invisible tether between the Displaced that come from the same world and the portal. That tether is what increases the possibility of others appearing from that world, but also increases the possibility of a string of disappearances of that world. Think of it like a game of tug-o-war. Everyone from your home world is connected, but if one slips back through the portal, the possibility is increased they'll drag others with them.

[The document, while Michael does not call this out in this post, does name one name from each world (fandom) who he believes to be the most at risk for being taken away, who in turn puts everyone else from their world at risk. Have fun with this drama bomb if you like and see the OOC comment thread if you want to be the named person from your world/fandom!

Those who are the only character in their world (fandom) are not mentioned, but he does propose while they are the highest at risk for disappearing initially, that risk goes down much lower than those with multiple people from the same world the longer they're there if they remain the only person from their world as they might have developed a special resistance to being sent back.]


Now interestingly, new tethers can develop between the Displaced from separate worlds in the case of romantic connections. There may be a benefit of increased stability, but it seems just as likely to add an increased layer of risk. If one partner disappears, that tether appears to increase the risk of disappearance for the other.

Again, this is all discussing risk. The percentages of increased risk are within a range 3 to 37.4 percent, depending on variables mentioned in the document. I hope my work will help add awareness and understanding to our very particular set of circumstances.

Thank you.

[For the super smart characters in the room, the math does add up, buuuuut... For the super, duper smart characters (think Doctor level brain power) there's still quite a bit of conjecture. It's an interesting hypotheses, and Michael isn't lying but... Whether he's presenting the document to create drama or prepare people for the worst (or both!) is hard to say.]

A few of you may have heard rumours that there are objects coming out of the portal. It looks like we're having another gift drop. Since there are so many of us these days and we don't know how long this will take or whether everyone will get something, it'll be easiest if we contact people as items arrive rather than have to field people asking and needing to check each time. So far everything's had a name tag on it so we shouldn't have too many problems. Let's get this done smoothly.

Weevils in the streets a few blocks from Fort Neill. Watch out for humanoids in dark blue boiler suits, bald, flattened wrinkled faces with very sharp teeth. They're stronger and faster than humans and can take a few bullets but they can also be taken down with tasers and a spray we formulated back home which I have a few cans of. They usually live in sewers and aren't actively aggressive unless disturbed, but they're not suited for bright light and will be disoriented and lashing out. If we can round them up or restrain them we can hold them until we find somewhere they won't bother anyone.

And if one cuts or bites you, you will need a course of antibiotics.

post-dated to Monday, April 9th at 9am.

We're back in Tumbleweed, but as some of you may have figured out, the town is completely different than it was the last time we were here. There's an airport now, which my car navigation system pointed out, and it's on the opposite side of town from Fort Neill.

Of course, that's not the most startling or disturbing difference. Fort Neill is a graveyard, and I mean that in the kindest sense of the world. It was locked up when I got there. Got my way in to find a dusty military facility that has not been used in quite some time, and it looks like it didn't happen on purpose.

The military is dead, and I don't mean they cleared out. I mean there is an entire facility full of the skeletal remains of whoever was in there when something happened. That something appears to have been some sort of [...] feeding, possible animal attack. There are definite teeth marks on these bones, and the state of decomposure... it's not new. At least a decade, maybe more so it's not as horrendous as it could be to see.

I have not turned the power on; I don't want to disturb the bodies more than I already have, but I'd like for anyone interested in helping to come down to the facility to move these bodies — telekinesis, magic, or just standard issue gloves — so that we don't taint the bodies with our DNA. We'll have to keep the power off until that happens, and then there should be video monitoring we can check to see what happened, check databases and logs to see if there's any evidence of what might have happened here.

I'm leaving this open so we can discuss what to do. After scrounging around the base, I haven't seen any paperwork or IDs for those of you who arrived on the cruise so that's something we should work on immediately to get people in the system so they can work, get IDs, and whatever else they need. We'll need people who can make IDs and people who can get into the necessary systems for government agencies to make sure the back-end is taken care of in anyone wants to cross state or country lines.

And a warning to some of you who worked at the military before: yes, we knew some of these people if the names on the uniforms check out.

Given the restrictions on how many Pokemon we can catch (six) and how many we can keep (one, which is one more than I was worried it would be) I imagine a lot of people will be looking to trade for what they want. Apart from the "if you see one of these please catch it for me" posts where you want people to see the request but they don't necessarily need to remember at the time who wanted it, it will be a lot easier if we keep the information in one place so none of it gets lost and people don't miss out. You should be able to bookmark a post to come back to it quickly so you can stay up to date while we're here.

All you need to put is basic info - your name, what you want (a specific Pokemon, a type, whatever), and what you've managed to catch. That way we can skim through and see what matches up.


[ooc: you don't have to do trades on both the ooc and ic posts, but some people did want to get some ic interaction with it so both ways are available.]


Unrelatedly, the dinosaur park is a tad underwhelming, but possibly worth it for amusement or the chance of finding legitimate fossils. Sometimes you can revive an ancient, otherwise extinct, Pokemon from them. (On that note, if anyone gets hold of a pterodactyl made of rock, hit me up.)
