I've come to realize time passes slowest when I'm studying or waiting for microwavable foods

they say a watched pot never boils.

i can relate, but something tells me i'm not the one you meant for this to go to.

No. It was for my roommate.
And it wasn't from tonight. I'd already sent it to him ages ago.
More gifts from DAWN?

i was wondering. with things so crazy it seemed pretty random.

probably.

it's not as weird as the other thing i randomly got, though. i got an error message when i tried to reply to that one.

An error message?
Who was it from?

just a bunch of numbers. it said there was no valid identification.

there were some emails attached. two people talking about terraforming jupiter's moons.

none of it means anything to me.

You should think about reposting it to the secured network.
Maybe someone else will recognize it. That doesn't sound like something that'd come from any of us.

[ ergo, maybe someone will be able to parse something useful from it. ]

I mean you should do what you want.
But someone might be able to help you make sense of it.

i thought it was just some random piece of nonsense. if you think it could be of use to someone, i don't mind sharing it.

Terraforming is a big deal for this planet's government. All the trouble with the Mars colonies seems to have something to do with that. It might have come from someone important.
You're new?

just since that festival. kind of bad timing, but at least it was before everything started falling completely apart.

It's going to be okay.
I know things are chaotic right now. Scary. But just after I got here, that giant monster attacked the city, and look how it's improved since then.
We'll get through this.
Are you somewhere safe? It's getting bad out in the streets.

[She hadn't expected this stranger to try and take care of her or make her feel better, so she's a little caught off guard by the whole thing.

She'd wonder if they wanted something out of her if coming to that conclusion made any sense at all.]

i keep trying to head out there to help, but i end up having to come back when it gets too hot. even trying to stay in the shade isn't doing much anymore.

but you don't need to worry about me. i'm being careful.

Keep water with you any time you go out.
It's plentiful here, and it helps combat the heat. Same with a shower, probably.

thanks, i'll remember that.

it's rey, right?

Yeah.
Sorry for the confusion, Hope.
DAWN must have scrambled comms too somehow.

it's not your fault. you've been a big help actually. you could have just ignored me.

so thanks for that.

Why would I do that?
We're all working together on this.

[ they should be, anyway. ]

And it's harder for all of you who just got here than anybody.
