[forwearemany]

Multiple artifacts and sources of data have been discovered at both the underwater ruins and previously explored locations.

(Legion's voice is probably familiar to anyone who has been on the island long enough. It's very distinctive.)

Suggest consolidation of data and recovered artifacts in a single location.

You mean like a museum? Not a bad idea. [Keith sounds drags words out a bit the way anyone tired might sound, but he keeps going.]

We have the library for written things. It wouldn't hurt to separate the two.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

Ease of access to relevant data increases likelihood of understanding.

You are well?

[thermalwind]

[It takes him a long moment to figure out how to reply.]

Yeah, just tired. I’ll rest soon.

I agree. We need as easy access to what we know as possible. It will make it easier on anyone new to parse our situation. We won’t always be here.

[forwearemany]

...Affirmative.

A building must be acquired or constructed for this purpose.

[thermalwind]

Sounds like we'll need to donate stories to make it happen. At least for the materials to build it.

[forwearemany]

Yes, though it is also possible to acquire some materials on our own.

[thermalwind]

Yeah. Who knows what we can salvage from the next island. I’ll keep an eye out for materials we could use.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative. Thank you.

[This boy has basically never bothered with the network since his arrival, so their voice is definitely not familiar. Nor has he bothered with the underwater ruins, so he figures he should at least check that he didn't miss anything there.]

What kind of data?

[forwearemany]

(A short burst of mechanical chatter.)

Recently: data pertaining to the politics and daily life of those who resided in the city before it was ruined.

Previously: data on the disease overgrowth and those who had died of it, as well as their robotic caretakers.

I have collected a number of them at the library, though... admittedly, we don't have a dedicated area for such a thing. Plus I'm not sure how secure it is...

[forwearemany]

A dedicated location is preferable.

[deathfindsaway]

It would certainly be safer, by the by. Do you know of any buildings we have that could sustain such a thing? I'm not sure if we would need to build another one, and once again, that brings stability into question.

[forwearemany]

Uncertain. Though there are buildings available, they would require extensive repair. Additionally, others have also shown interest in utilizing these buildings.

[deathfindsaway]

Hmmm...

[He pauses for a moment before speaking again.]

Not that I have any interest to depleting our housing, but if there are quite enough living spaces to go around perhaps we could use one of the homes on an islet. That also ensures whatever is there ends up safe from any catastrophe that could befall Enso.

[forwearemany]

Uncertain.

If necessary, we are willing to use our residence for this purpose: as we do not require sleep, it is largely used for storage.

[deathfindsaway]

That may be easiest, though it also puts you at risk. If any of those items were volatile, or interacted badly, you would be most at risk. Are you alright with that?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

[deathfindsaway]

[He's still dubious, but this is only the start of this plan, so...]

Well, alright. Let's discuss getting something set up there soon. The Library has a few of these artifacts, and perhaps with a dedicated area we can get more to donate to the cause. Sound good?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.
