VALLO PRIME, RESCUERS, & FLIPPED REBELS

Full disclosure, I am not a full-time employee with the magic department at the DOA, but so many of us are gone and you are stuck with me, delivering good and bad news. Hello!

The good news is that thanks to the brilliant researchers in both our Vallos looking into where Bronislovas's resting place might be located on the other side of the portal, we're pretty damn sure of where it is, between his notes, so many books, and what info we got from Beketh. The thought is that it's within a cave system in one of the mountains by the city. Here's a map, for your reference:

[pretend there's a cool looking map here with probable mountains highlighted]

Unfortunately that's more or less all we can do on our side for now, so it's up to all of you fine people over there to pick up the trail. If we can do things, we'll do it, just let us know.

And now the bad news: the portal is causing some oddities. The portal monsters from a few months ago are back, seemingly being created by or summoned by the portal itself. If you have fighting skills of some sort but aren't already involved with defense, please reach out to Evie and Kara and they'll get you sorted as needed.

The other odd thing is that the area around the portal seems to be, for lack of a better way of putting it, turning into what we can only assume the other side of the portal looks like. Buildings are suddenly in disrepair and there's a lot of graffiti talking about your Revenants and how disliked they are, missing people posters, that kind of stuff. This started yesterday and the area affected has only grown today, so it would appear we're on even more of a timetable than we thought.

All right, that is all I have for the moment, so...go team?

Rebels + Vallo Outlander Arrivals

Okay this was all a lot today, but now that our [...] guests have been given the rundown, you all have your devices, we can answer some of your questions. I think we're all adjusting, so just bear with us. For some of us, it's been a long time since we've seen you. In some instances, if ever.

I'm also going to reiterate, please don't leave our location without bringing one of us with you. This isn't the Vallo you know and what we're dealing with is pretty shitty, so until we can figure out a larger plan, staying put is going to be safest. It's not just the Echoes. It's the people you think you know.

Alright, have your reunions and ask your questions.

We have over 30 missing Outlanders so far and more names are still coming in. The portal they went through is still open, and now protected by a barrier so we don't lose track of anyone else for now, but it does seem to be a working portal, but we cannot guarantee that it is a two-way street, given our friends and family have not stepped back through yet we have to assume the way may be blocked on their side.

We still plan to launch a rescue mission, but the group going through also needs to be aware of the risks and be able and willing to set up communications in the event that a return trip won't be immediate.

The DOA is going to be confirming the list of those missing so we have exact names and numbers, and studying the portal to ensure it's safe to travel through.

The current plan is that tomorrow we'll send a group through, if you wish to sign up to be on the rescue mission, put your name here and be at the DOA offices in the morning for a full briefing. Pack ONE bag, no larger than what you can carry and run with, and bring your weapons of choice.

Um uh

Hey, anyone else in the city see that? I'm at the bookstore and was talking to Caleb and saw what looked like some massive creature just disappear through a portal, I think? It's hard to see through the buildings, but there's something going on and--



And is anyone else suddenly missing?? Because Caleb and Frumpkin were right here and now they're both gone.



ETA: People are missing with no list, but I figure someone will want to have one to keep track? So I'll add to this as people make mention.

It seems I've inherited a meadery. I can't let the place fall I don't know why in the void he thought I could

If anyone's looking for work, especially of the evening/late night variety, come see me. I need a couple of bartenders. The pay is good enough that you won't rely on tips and the patrons are usually well-behaved. The work is easy: just pull the right lever and stop when the glass is full. Sufficiently well-trained monkeys are also welcome to apply.

This would have been a great time to find out the disappearances were a result of a hacker again.

What do you need?

[ coordinates to the quarry are the first thing that's posted. and then, there's audio - a bit fuzzy, but there's a lot of weird background noise, the sound of firearms, YELLING. ]

We have an overgrown, sentient plant problem where the quarry is - GROOT, those are not your people!

[ please note there is a distant battle cry of 'I AM GROOOOOOOOT' in the background. ]

Are you fucking

[ someone turns music on in the background, it's cyndi lauper's 'girl's just wanna have fun.' gamora sighs. ]

Can we just get a lot of firepower headed our way?

Carol, have you checked on Goose lately? If so, did they seem...pregnant?

Because there's a gaggle of flerken at the base of this tree I'm at and I'm only counting around 39 of them. I suspect there's more elsewhere since they're capable of laying up to 117 eggs, but I'm hesitant to leave this tree until this group is contained because at least their focus is on me at the moment.

Team B, I'm sending you my coordinates. I will need assistance containing this group. They have a mess of tendrils that protrude from their mouths that they use to eliminate their opponents by eating them and their scratches are toxic to humanoids. We're going to try not to harm them, but we need to herd them away from the public.

Anyone that comes across a seemingly innocent, unclaimed kitten may not want to startle them.

Probably shouldn't eat the weird bird hooked hand things, right? Asking for a friend.

We're going to that place with the turkey legs. Pick a day.

Kit and I went into the sewers that I saw in my portal, we've been in it before and it's just been sewers but now it has a secret base or room. It was not there before, just a week ago.

It's been abandoned. But there's a door that may be barred or locked, Kit wanted me to call in backup before I opened it. I couldn't hear anything on the other side with my runes.

If anyone would like to come investigate, meet me outside the DOA office in approximately 15 minutes. Bring light sources, thank you.

Oi!

Can anyone give me an explanation of what the fuck is going on that doesn't involve being kidnapped into a magical fairy land?

Well isn't this something. How far-reaching is this network, I can't seem to get communications going beyond this little bubble and Knowhere was decidedly not the place I expected to wake up as I'd just left it behind.

Is anyone missing a baby rodent that nestled into my hair and tried to steal my breakfast?

Does Vallo have a dedicated cave rescue crew?

Ok...I've heard of pineapple pizza, but what the hell is this?!

( SFW but cut for size )

I'm being serious. Is this a thing in this time line?

GUARDIANS.

At the DOA right now. Peter landed in a tree and angered some squirrels. He's getting registered, but has no memory of being here before. [...] We also found a cage from the High Evolutionary's ship by a Waypoint, full of those baby raccoons. They're alright. Terrified, though.

Patrol's been productive.
