Spinning Compass Network

Six years ago today I had the most wonderful man change my life forever. He would end up treating both of my children as his own, and then helping me welcome a third little bundle of joy into our lives.

Miguel O'Hara, I love you.

One more month-ish left. Is it bad that I'm both ready for it to be over, and don't want it to end at the same time? I need a distraction! Someone who doesn't have a lovely yellow glow, entertain meeee.

What year is this?

Big announcement! Kelan and I are married. We eloped about three months ago.

[To all Sullys]

We're planning another ceremony in his chapel and you'll all be invited. Details to follow.

I feel like it's safe to share with the whole group, now that I'm three weeks away from viability, and just a few days away from when we can tell without a doubt what it isss...

You guys! I'm 20 weeks and 6ish days pregnant! Baby will be due around the middle of July, and is currently as big as a sweet potato~

So, the Arcology. If anyone wants to come along and see what we can do to help the people inside, I'm gonna need you to reply here so we can sort stuff out. I've got someone to help us get inside, but anyone else who can teleport or do some magicy thing to get in, and you want to help, let me know here too.

So, Renraku Arcology. It's been shutdown for a while now. There's still a lot of people trapped inside there. People have tried to get people out and the Ork underground has done what it can to help but it's not been easy on them. That and they're kinda only pro-Ork so, that's a thing and it's also why we're not going to them to help us get in. It's not gonna work.

So if anyone is interested in joining us, say something here. It's going to be really dangerous. I don't know a lot about what's happened but I have seen the news reports and this trip is not for the faint of heart. We're going to need people capable of fighting, people who are good with tech, and maybe some medics to help the wounded? I'm not sure what else we'll need because we're all kind going into this blind. No information has gotten out of the Arcology since it shutdown nearly a year ago. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out. Mages can't astral walk into the place, deckers can't hack into their net, it's totally cut off and isolated. Anyone who tries to fly in gets shot down. Every entrance is sealed off. Which is why we're using Espejo's teleportation.

I gotta be honest with you all. Something about the Arcology. It kinda resonates with me. Something told me I needed to try and get in and when some of you guys seemed interested in helping people out there, I guess it just sort of gave me the motivation to actually do something about it. So, for what it's worth, thanks.

My dudes and dudettes! We have a new door! And it's to my world. I mean, it's to the place I was before the other station and then you know, this one. The door leads to Seattle. Looks like it's summer there too, so you can all get a break from the freaky snow! So I went through and when I got there, I had a credstick. It's basically a thing that has money on it you can spend so you can buy things when you get there.

The door takes you to downtown Seattle. Probably should prepare you for some stuff.

( Info here )

This is probably karma but FUCK

Can someone get me off of this station. Please. Just for an hour or so while Philip's in school.

I would like to honor the people we lost. I do wish we had a door to do so better, and their souls would not be t but will make do with the lake in the third wheel park. I've fashioned a long boat, and have printed out more than a few photos of people who have vanished.

If you would like to join me I will wait for you, especially if you wish to add anything to the boat for their send off. If no one wishes to join me I will set the boat on fire at midnight.

Some things got broken. I'll fix them later.

Sarah
I won't be home tonight. Sorry. I need to
I love you. Don't vanish
I'll be back in the morning. Promise. Lyla will know where I am.

Gabe
¿Beber conmigo?

Everything is entirely too loud and you should all shhhhhh and let me have all the coffee.

My daughter's father isn't here.  If he was, he'd be speaking to her in Spanish.  Would anyone be willing to teach me a few words in Spanish?  Or maybe a lullaby?  So she can hear it from me.  Until this crazy place figures out that he was right. She needs her dad.

This is a really good door. So much wildlife that I've seen in holos or vids in museums, or just as pictures in books. I took far too many photos of plants. And other animals but I liked these ones.

Adam and Belle have some really good wine in their wine cellar. We should buy a lot of it from their supplier.

Booze O'Clock, I think. But I'm not cooking this time.

GABE! Beer?

So... uh, the date is all wrong. And the contract list looks very different.

Where is my stuff?

Is this like some sort of Facebook? I never had a Facebook before now. I did have Pokémon Go, but I can't seem to get it here. And I know it's nothing like Facebook anyway, but

Hello, I'm Steven. I'm new here. I mean, obviously I'm new or I wouldn't be telling everyone my name, would I?

Peter helped me yesterday when I arrived (Thank you, Peter!) and now I have a new flat and I want to go home all my books are here, and even Gus!

( Picture of Gus! )

This is Gus.

Laters, gators!

Atención, cualquier persona en clase de español. El martes, vamos a empezar a aprender sobre la comida. Y la mejor manera de aprender sobre la comida es comerla, por supuesto. Por favor, no coma un gran almuerzo el martes, ¡porque habrá mucha comida en clase!

(Use your dictionaries, and tell Mr Madrigal and myself what I said in a private reply to this post.)

To anyone who is looking after/responsible for any of the kids in Spanish class:

Let Bruno or myself know before Monday if anyone has any food allergies, please!

¡Gracias!

Okay, this is not cool. There's not a single pink thing in my wardrobe. In the words of my lovely husband, What the shock.

I bumped my head.

This must be the station's way of reminding me to include information for those who have switched physical sexes, in my talk tomorrow.
