001 [ written / action ]

[ written ]

[ Neat, concise, practical penmanship. Erwin does quite a lot of writing. ]

I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:

Have you ever been drafted for service in the war? Volunteered for it? If so, what was asked of you?
How frequently are you and/or those you know taken in for experimentation? If you have first-hand experience with this, do you recall what happened?
Based on your experiences in Luceti, what is your personal opinion of the Malnosso?

If you would like to speak further, or more privately, this is Commander Erwin Smith. I am willing to meet with you in person if you are wary of speaking freely this way.

Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.

[ action ]

[ Erwin's been in Luceti only a few days, but he'd memorized the layout of the village on the first. Food, clothing, weapons--he knows where to find these things, and he's been noting all of the smaller shops besides. He's far from content, but he is adapting, though still on high alert. He is well aware already that there is little he will be able to do immediately. But he can prepare to do more, and that is precisely what he is planning on.

He can be found at the smithy looking at weapons, at the grocery store (Levi wants non-perishables, wants to stock up), sitting outside looking through his journal--green cape around his shoulders, hiding his wings with more wings--or just about anywhere else by appointment. ]

[Commander. Interesting. Ginia has a healthy respect for military-types provided they prove their usefulness and aren't more concerned with looking good in uniforms and medals then their men or getting their job done. She has also a healthy respect for intelligence and people who do their research.

She picks up another notepad and jots down Erwin's name, leaving space for additional notes. After some thought, she jots down Jean's name, wondering if it's the same man she spoke to about military and titans.

When she writes in the journal, her handwriting is also neat, perfectly legible and spaced. The handwriting of someone who also does a lot of writing.]

Being relatively new, I can't speak about the drafts or the experiments, but having recently returned from a mission, I am willing to share information about that if you are interested.

[ Any information is good information. His response is quick, though not hurried. ]

I am very interested. Thank you for responding. Please share whatever you are comfortable with.

Information on the missions can always be found on the back of the journal. On the 7th of January I signed up for a mission involving guard duties at a location called Depot 8. I was notified on the morning of the 9th to report to the tunnel entrance for transportation on the morning of the 10th. I was allowed a single bag for clothing, personal supplies, and whatever weapons I wished to bring. Food, shelter, and additional weaponry and ammunition would be provided there.

On the 10th, I reported to the tunnel entrance at 0700 to await transportation. Another person from the enclosure was also selected to join the mission, though we did not sign up together nor were we aware we would be working together until that morning.

A droid came to meet us, confirmed our identities, then we were knocked out. When we came to, we were at Depot 8.

Depot 8 is a small supply depot on the edge of a desert. The weather is very hot and dry with occasional dust storms. The level of technology is far lower than the village with no electricity and water through pumps and well systems. The setting is reminiscent of a time period known as the "Old West" in my world.

In addition to fellow village from Luceti, there were five other volunteers from other enclosures; one from Excenn, one from Deese, two from R'Car, one from Wyoming. Our assigned duties were to provide Sheriff Lyca Williams, the head of law enforcement in Depot 8, with assistance. We were provided guns and ammo and told we were allowed to carry out justice as we saw fit.
