[There’s a clicking noise, then a burst of static, before a moment of silence. A male voice speaks first, recognizable as Greg’s.] Did it work?
[A female speaks up.] Is it a plant? No. How should I know if it works? Mine got eaten by the Hungry Vine.
[A third voice speaks up, a new male.] He was asking in general, not you, Abbot. And yeah, I think it’s going. But not video. You’re the codemonkey, fix it.
[Greg snorts.] Fixing, fixing, bug boy. You go play with your beetles, I’ll get this… there.
[The video flickers on, showing Greg, Caroline Abbot, and another young man who resembles Greg slightly. ]
[Greg nods happily.] Guess what? We have blankets! [He holds up stiffer-looking greenish-white blankets.] We’re going to share! Abbot can explain!
[Caroline sighs.] They’re plant fiber. I modified the Hungry Vine to have stronger limbs, and—
[The other guy shakes his head.] She’ll talk for hours. Look. Plants became blankets. It’s not good weather for them, but you’ll have them. Anyone wants to pick them up, we already dropped off a load at [x,y]. Outreach and shit, since our PR department is fuc—
Matthew! [Greg’s voice is sharp.] There’s a lady present.
[Caroline blinks, staring at Greg.]
[Matthew snorts.] Fine. Since our PR department is sleeping around instead of making sweet, sweet love to all of y—
[Greg reaches over and shuts the sound of the PCD off. He and Matthew talk for a moment, while Caroline looks very awkward. She plays with a vine that’s crawling up her arm, smiling at it. The boys stop talking, and Greg rolls his eyes and turns the sound back on.]
[Matthew sighs.] The PR department isn’t doing its job. So we’re doing what we can. Better?
[Greg nods, then looks off to the side.] We’ve got to stop transmitting for now. Guard cycles. But we’ll answer questions in a few minutes. It should be safe.
[He smiles, and with a quick wave, he shuts off the PCD.]
[[ooc: There are twenty-five plant-fiber blankets at the location listed.]]

I do bugs. I don't think you want them running around. But I can see about sending some out.
What's a squid? If you go jump in that lake out there, you'll find out pretty da-- fast.
[Video]
I try to avoid making a habit out of jumping into unknown waters. I'll just assume it's dangerous.
[Video]
[Matthew walks over to a small cage in the corner and brings it over, showing several large preying-mantis-looking things. Except they're red, and have another pair of legs.]
I call this baby the Bleeding Mantis. You want me to let loose a few?
It's dangerous and big. It was here before we were, it looks like.
[Video]
If those things were here before then they might come back one day anyway. How big is big though?
[Video]
[Matthew smirks.]
I mean it showed up before we were here, and he's still here. Big is like train or something. Really big.
[Video]
Does that mean you've been here for a long time then? They don't look that big.
[Video]
Yep. About a year and a half.
Giant squid is huge. Again, go look at it.
[Video]
That really is a long time then.
That's the giant squid though.
[Video]
[Matthew sighs and shakes his head.]
And no vacations either. That's the sucky part.
[Video]
From what i've seen of this place, I doubt there would be anywhere for you to go even if you could.
[Video]
No, not here. Maybe home, when we get back.
[Video]
Hm. If you're lucky back home?

Some are, some aren't. It's hard to know what all is buried in it, sometimes. I think ours are good, though.

My uncle, Greg's dad, is a lawyer. I had him look over it before I signed it.

Hey, good luck to you guys too.
