Decided to collate information collected from Sage. Said he spoke for Earth, which chose us to defend it (Earth apparently sapient?). Claimed invaders "alien", "inhuman". Apparently, controlled Earth in past, and are attempting to reclaim it (suppose this supports claims of "gardening" on negotiation forum). Told to find "seven Gems of Earth", one located within mine, and forge seal in order to keep invaders out. According to Sage, won't be able to defeat them.

Should clarify: don't know if Sage is trustworthy. Merely reporting on what he told us.

Upon completion of message, Sage died. As of now, whereabouts of corpse unknown. Return trip to mine entrance to find corpse failure.

Will edit this to reflect new information. As always, LSR clinic open to anyone injured in mine or wishing to have physical alterations examined.

Also, considering dubbing invaders "Gardeners". Thoughts?

I don't know. It seems kind of mundane for what we're up against. Also, can we really be sure about the gem thing? It sounds kind of ... well I was going to say unrealistic, but then again look at what's been happening.

Don't know. Suppose we could try to go back into mine with more weapons, but considering how werewolf hunting party turned out, may not go well.

I guess the hunting didn't go well then? The problem is, if it does exist and it is actually important, we're going to have to go back anyway.

Does that mean we should call ourselves the Weeds?

Are we sure the guy was legit?

[testsonseashells]

Perhaps. Unsure about veracity of Sage's information - still, as noted, motives of "Gardeners" appear in line with information gathered from negotiation network.

[ursoreckless]

So... Basically we're still short of most of the pieces.

I'm not too sure if I like to call them Gardeners. My mother gardens and I can't see her trying to kill a bunch of kids off.

Thank you for putting this on here.

"Gardeners" sounds wussy as hell. Wussy and lame and incredibly unterrifying!
Maybe name them after intimidating gardening implements instead. Like "the lawnmowers"! "Scythes"? "Rakes"?

 

 

"Hoes"????????

[testsonseashells]

Claimed to be gardeners themselves. Merely using their terminology. Besides, no reason to inspire fear in ourselves.

[drama8om8]

Yeah but like. How are we supposed to take them seriously with a dumb flowery name like THAT?
Although I guess if we are laughing at how ridiculous they sound constantly, then that will be incredibly demoralizing for them.
Do aliens get demoralized? Like is that even a thing? Because if so I will start working on things to yell at them to tear their vulnerable little psyches apart!
Yeah!!!!!!!! >8D

There are way more questions than just what the fuck we call these assholes. I mean, for starters, can we even trust that guy in the mine? I mean, like, it look like he died. How fucked up is that? Why the fuck would the "Earth" or whatever kill some guy that was working for them? This sounds like some stereotypical "us vs them" propaganda that Mitt Romney would use. And this gem business-- Are they actually gems? What if other assholes have already found them and sold them to museums? Come on, it was a mine. People mine for things in a mine, and usually they stop mining for things when they don't find anything valuable anymore. When did aliens control the earth? I don't remember that shit from history class. Or geology. Or anything. You'd think we'd notice if aliens were controlling shit.

[ DEEP BREATH ]

Uh. Yeah. I'm done for now. Sorry.

Re: audio;

[testsonseashells]

Have no idea whether Sage is trustworthy. Merely collecting his information in one place. In any case, Earth much older than humans. "Gardeners" may have been here before us.

As for gem location, something we'll have to figure out ourselves, likely with better equipped, smaller team.

[enrages]

Ugh. I dunno. It's just that... Well, all this shit's rubbing me the wrong way? Like why do we all happen to be in this city? And who made this network? Isn't that suspicious, too? The "earth" can't make computer shit... That's just ridiculous?

If I hadn't been down there to hear everything, this would totally sound like something out of Captain Planet.

Re: ( text )

Thought it felt like a TV show or video game plot myself. Still, danger obviously very real, regardless.

Uh, one big thing is that 'Sage,' pretty sure people were saying he was dead afterwards. Not sure if that's a proper good guy trait going on in there.

Guess we'll only know what's up once someone either finds a 'gem' or a second trap.

More importantly, if this world actually functions like a goddamn RPG and I've been playing FPS all my life, I want a redo.

Re: [Text]

[testsonseashells]

Will edit. Not sure about redo - on your own there.

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

I dragged the sage guy up out of the mine. He seemed pretty dead. I kind of lost track of the body after that, I don't know if it's still there, but I got a couple of pictures of his face if you want them.

And I don't think I have any comments on if any of that was true or not. It's kind of crazy if he was at all right, but how crazy is too crazy, these days?

[testsonseashells]

Good to know, will edit to reflect. Would be glad to receive pictures. How long ago did you lose track of the body?

[controlsdesire]

Could you elaborate on the forum message?

[testsonseashells]

Someone claiming to be "head of local operations" compared himself to gardener pruning Earth of unwanted vegetation (namely, those who resist their forces). Have dubbed them "Gardeners". Can find link in FAQ.

[dorkytracksuit]

How can we even beliieve anythiing that guy said. The whole thiing was just some setup!

[testsonseashells]

Don't know. Have no idea if "Sage" is trustworthy. Merely reporting what he said.

Getting tired of answering this question.

[elfstoned]

You know I don't trust what that Sage had to say. He could manipulate rock, and died as the entrance caved in.

But that doesn't mean he didn't let true information slip.

[testsonseashells]

Of course, begs question of what's true and what's false. To me, at least, everything seems equally likely to go either way.
