Hey, guys. I... Maybe I should've said something sooner, but I haven't been sure if it'd make much of a difference. But it's been really bugging me, so... I talked to our host, tried to find out more about how the reverse Ingress worked, but she was too busy to really answer any questions. But I asked if she had research somewhere that I could look at, you know, to read about it instead, and she gave me permission to use this computer to access her notes. I've spent my free time the past few days on reading over it, and... I don't know. I feel like there's something weird going on here.

There wasn't any information on her research on the Ingress. And, like, she would've written that down somewhere, wouldn't she? And there are some things she's told us that she wouldn't have known if she hadn't been experimenting on this with other people. Like, how did she know we need to go in as pairs, not alone? But there's no information on her computer about past experiments, either. What information is there... is stuff about our worlds. Population, toxicity, atmospheric and geological, stuff like that.

I asked her about it, and she said she's gathering test data from anyone who stops by here, even though there haven't been all that many, since this place is out of the way. She also said she's gathering the world information so she can use it to make the Ingress better, make it work permanently.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe she's just got her research on the Ingress hidden and locked away in the computer. It doesn't work anything like the computers from back home, so I wouldn't know how to find it. I want to give the host the benefit of the doubt? But... I dunno. I guess I've learned to distrust any time I've been handed exactly what I've been wanting.

[ Rodimus is standing in the cargo bay since that was one of the few places that he can comfortably move around. He gives he huge, charming smile to the video, his optics squinting somewhat in his enthusiasm. ]

So, I can't happen but notice we've docked at a planet that's most uninhabited, which means no buildings or people to accidentally squash or injure!

Which leads me into my next question. Does anyone have any grenades? Size probably doesn't matter as long as they're able to be set for detonation by our huge robot fingers.

Anyone who wants to join in on a little bit of grenade tag is welcome, of course. If we get enough people we can split off into teams!

[ Organics can withstand a few explosions right??? ]

[He hasn't used the network since arriving, aside from to respond to others. It's about time he changes that, really. The light sits on his bed in Moro #15 and flicks the MID on]

Ah, there we go. Um, hi! I haven't said much here before, but I think I should probably change that...so hello. I'm Akito, Akito Wanijima. [You're supposed to tell some stuff about yourself when you introduce yourself like this aren't you? But he doesn't want to really, not when he actually has a reason to post]

I kind of wanted to ask everyone something. Two things, actually.

[Deep breath. This topic has been bothering him since the news had arrived] The Ingress that can send people home...I was just wondering. There's a lot of people that really want to go home, right? And some people that don't, because they can't. [Mostly being that they're dead, from what he's seen on the network] I was wondering if anyone else sort of thought the same thing that I did...that it's not really worth it? No point when it's only temporary. Wouldn't it just make it hurt more that we weren't home?

It is kind of neat seeing other peoples worlds, I admit. But my world isn't anything special, and it's...kind of hard, the idea of going back there and being free for a little while, only to be pulled back here. [Back into a cage] It might just be me though. So I wanted to know if anyone else thought the same, or if I'm just being silly. [He smiles, as if he doesn't mind that idea. He can be quite silly sometimes, after all]

The other thing I wanted to ask was if anyone else knew about the idea of two people living in one body. A lot of people I've talked to hadn't seemed to, so. Yeah.

[He feels sort of embarrassed now]
