[Lup-Net] Datapad Discovery 7/17
Gladio, Prompto, and I have been exploring a rather large square of area near the eastern coast, just below where the land starts to widen, over the last 4 days. There are quite a few buildings, the most important being a secondary lab marked as 'Beta.' We've found a fair number of robots here, much like have been found in other places, along with some tools and an old computer. From what I've been told, there is nothing of use that can be salvaged from the computer, unfortunately. On the other hand, the datapad we found on the other side of the building has proven more useful.
For those of you who know me, you are aware I'm unable to write down what I've found, though I do have a device that will allow me to read what the datapad has on it. If someone would be so kind as to add this to the information we already have, I will be in your debt.
[Ignis pauses for a few moments to let anyone willing to transcribe get ready. He then begins to read the below in a slow, but steady voice. It takes sometime as he is actually translating it into braille to read back, but it gets the job done.

Translation is here.]
There are more buildings down to the south of the area, but we have been here for 4 days now and it is long passed time we left this place for a while. Anyone who is looking for a new place to pick up there search from, please considering picking up here. The three of us will be spending a lot of time at our cottage over the next few days should you want more details on the location.

As my friend so eloquently put it, the computer is 'well and truly fried.' When I say there is 'nothing of use,' I mean both in terms of information to be gathered and useable parts. If you'd like to verify that for yourself, though, I am happy to give you directions to where it can be found. Just promise me you won't go looking for it alone. Not matter how safe these islands seem at first, they never stay that way.
[And this one doesn't even seem all that safe with the repeated mentions of the flower infection they keep running into.]

Thank you. You're quite right about the dangers. I promise not to go alone.
[Systems that cannot be rescued should perhaps still be mourned, but Rinzler would never forgive her for going into this much known and unknown danger without him as backup. She'll have to consider the risks.]

I hope you don't think I'm underestimating your skill. I've just seen too many people--myself included--take more risks than we should with these new islands. At this point, I would rather warn someone and risk their anger, then to not do so and later be forced to mourn them instead.
[Even if that person is someone he's just met.]
Would you like to look at the datapad as well? It's barely working better than the computer, but perhaps you will be able to find something I haven't?
