[rey had never received a package before. suspicion had been her first response when she'd gotten the message on her MID. it had to have been some kind of trick. she's prepared for the absolute worst when she picks up the box, holding it as if it might detonate at any second.

inside was dosmit ræh's helmet.

her heart had constricted. ræh had been her imaginary friend as a child, and was still someone rey looked up to even though they'd never met. and since her helmet had been inside a wrecked ship, they probably never would. so having the helmet back was a gift she'd never dreamed of. but it also meant that someone had been in her home, in her private space. and that makes her furious.]

how do these packages get here? who retrieves them? i need to know

that's the thing: no-one knows what it really is and by extension, what else it could be capable of.

or if they know, they're not telling us.

this is insane
someone has to know
and i'm going to find out
one way or another

[wallcrawls]

tell me about it.

I know there are a couple of people looking into trends - like if there's anything that links everyone here. might be related.

[ventifact]

what could that possibly be?
most of us aren't even from the same galaxy

[wallcrawls]

hard to say. I think one person's looking into backgrounds - might be a common thread somewhere. I figure it might be something that's not so easily identifiable - maybe something the ingress can pick up on when were transported here, who knows. could explain how it knows what to send though, right?

maybe
and thanks
for not suggesting it's "magic"

[wallcrawls]

thanks, I guess, but magic's not really a thing, you know?

at least, where I'm from - "magic's just science people don't understand."

seems pretty apt, right?

[bless u fellow smol nerd]

yeah
that's literally what i keep saying
but eighty percent of the people trying to answer my question just say "magic"
