3: [Audio] [BACKDATED TO THE 14TH OF OCTOBER]

[dat_astrid]

I have a question.

[The audio feed clicks on with Astrid's voice, calm and even as always, and the sound of scraping in the background-- metal on metal. Astrid stole a knife sharpener from the kitchens. Poor Sergei's, forever missing kitchen implements. As she speaks, the scraping continues.]

What exactly do we know about the Golden Shore? [

Comments

[battle_droid]

I have heard several contradicting theories about the Shore thus far. The crew tells us our worlds have been destroyed, and the Shore is our final destination.

However, it has also been stated once we do reach the shore, we will have the choice to stay, or to return to our homes.

[dat_astrid]

Really?

[Now, that's the most interesting thing she's heard in her stay here, and the most interested reaction she's given thusfar.]

Why would we even want to stay, if we can go home?

[battle_droid]

It has come to my attention that some worlds are hardly hospitible environments. I assume some think this better than returning. [Zee's world would be one of these if she wasn't a freakin' robot.]

I, however, intend to return home if it is indeed possible.

[dat_astrid]

I'm going home, too. They need me-- and the rest of the new recruits.

[After all, there's only a few days left in dragon training.]

[alittlegreedy]

Chances are, it's a shore that's golden.

[dat_astrid]

Do you have any real input, or am I wasting my time responding?

[alittlegreedy]

I'd always think the former, but in the end it's up to you.

[dat_astrid]

[Smartass.]

Let me rephrase that: are you going to say anything that resembles something useful?
