It's World Sleep Day, which I think means we're going with Movie Day in Comp Sci. Hackers or The Matrix, maybe. Vallo PJ day? Is that something I can pitch for? I'm declaring it a PJ day for myself.

On the search for someone with steady hands and can work around some sensitive alien tech that's conveniently attached itself to the back of my neck? The thing's mostly damaged so salvaging it isn't a concern, but it's connected to my nervous system and I'm going to need someone to get it off without messing me up in the process.

Will pay for services, can come to you or you can come here - we're on a spaceship in the forest with a surprisingly equipped lab and medical bay. I don't have a preference as long as the job's done.

Happy Monday.

Anyone have a sentient building or place around here?

Hey, Library's here. Opened the door to the bathroom at my place and I was walking through the Library's door.

Think it might have gotten jealous that you were checking out the other Library of Alexandria over it.

Greetings! Dr. Hank McCoy here, with good news (well, I think it's good) and a request of sorts. Recently I received the plans and parts to build a machine called Cerebro, something that I'm familiar with as I happened to design and build it once upon a time as well, in another world a few times, actually, since it kept getting destroye--. In a nutshell, it is a machine that amplifies brainwaves - an ESP device, if you will, allowing the user to locate essentially anyone in the world (our former Headmaster of the Xavier Institute used it to track mutants across the globe), depending on their own unique mental signature.

Here, I aim to have Cerebro used as not only a locator device but also a way to understand and gain new information about technology - our current host world is filled with all sorts of tech (waypoints, for example), and this function would also be useful for anything that may appear here, or be left behind in the unfortunate instance the original owner of the tech disappeared and we have questions about the functionality.

I would appreciate some volunteers to help me test it? The only caveat, of course, is that you must have telepathic abilities - otherwise Cerebro can be a bit of an overload, and that does not seem pleasant. I'd be happy to pay you for your time - cash or chocodile Twinkies, either way, we can come to an arrangement.

Since Richie just found an item from my world, I wanted to put up a warning just in case any more start showing up.

Richie found the Fire Totem. Or it found him. Either way. It's one of six. Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Spirit, Death. Five of the Six are stones, the Spirit Totem is more of an animal head carving that's gold. They're all like pendants, though the air totem at one point ended up as a wrist cuff.

If anyone comes across a black stone in a silver pendant, that one was mine. Please avoid touching it.

Between the disappearances and the turkeys, I'm down one arm and one genius to work on it. Not that I mind doing things one armed, but two can be great too.

Any one specialize in high tech prosthetics? I can pay.

How are you feeling, brat?

How is the center looking, post turkey invasion?

Greetings, Sara! Is it alright if I call you Sara? If not, please let me know what moniker you prefer.

I don't mean to take up too much of your time, but after some investigation I have learned the laboratory located at the DOA headquarters is a transplant from your world. I asked some locals who work there now about who is running the lab but they informed me the most recent lab manager vanished. If the position is open, I was wondering if I could pass my credentials to you and apply for the position? I will be teaching Science a couple days a week at the DOA educational facility but maintain hopes to also work in a laboratory utilizing my skills.

Thank you for reading!

Dr. Hank McCoy

P.S. I am in fact attaching a list of published works, in alphabetical order beginning with the subject 'Atoms, Probing Gravity' and ending with 'Zoology of Tapeworms.' Should you require my actual CV I shall attach it in the next message, in parts if necessary.

We've called in substitute teachers from Vallo who will fill in for the missing teaching positions until we can fill them permanently. Classes will continue as normal.

That being said, if anyone wants to apply to teach at the Outlander school, you can do so at the DOA. Vacancies include Anthropology, Computer Science, Maths, Phys Ed, Sciences, and Preschool/Kindergarten lead. If anyone really has an interest in teaching History or Literature, come talk to me.

Maths, Sciences, Phys Ed, and the Preschool Kindergarten are the priority.

Fascinating! Truly, this is fascinating. Have you considered the sheer amount of possible particle configurations in multiple universes? Because I have, and we're looking at about 10^10^122 distinct possibilities. An infinite number of particle arrangements, thus repeating for an infinity! And to think, I've somehow ended up in this particular arrangement of particles. I would have thought that, given the notion of wormhole passages and white hole escape routes, and what lurks beyond the event horizon of a black hole, I'd have a greater chance of being sucked into a black hole even though technically black holes don't do much 'sucking' but instead merely 'sit' and thus other objects tend to crash into them - but no, here I am!

Dr. Hank McCoy, at your service. I have spoken with the kind welcoming committee at the Dead-on-Arrival (are we?? My pulse is still ticking) building and have been caught up to the best of their ability. Now I ask, where might one find the best cup of turbo-charged coffee?

Also, Katherine, I heard you and Nadia arrived just before me! Scrolling back on this device proved to be a mostly worthwhile endeavor for that purpose - otherwise, I fell into a different kind of black hole indeed.
