[Locked Transmission to Residents]

[chikaidestroyer]

Welcome to our new arrivals. The first half of each month, for as long as I remember, has been identifiable as a time when several newcomers to Luceti appear. This is now widely referred to as the New Feather cycle, though it's only a term coined within the last two years

Intriguing. This is certainly a large amount of information to digest and I believe I'll have to start writing this all down (after all, my computer has nothing to charge from).

May I refer any future questions to you, if I have any?

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. There's a lot going on behind the scenes of Luceti.

As I said, speaking over the journals about these matters is prohibited; we will need to speak in person about any of these matters. But yes, of course. You are?

Koushiro Izumi.

Welcome to Luceti then, Koushiro. Contact me if you wish to speak in person.

Is there a good map I can use?

[chikaidestroyer]

There are; several people have made maps of Luceti, though the most detailed -- of the village, at least -- is in the possession of Brave Vesperia. Please speak to Yuri Lowell if you wish to get a copy.

The mapping of such places as the mountains and desert remain imprecise, for obvious reasons.

I believe I have read all I can still come up with the same question as I have since upon my arrival.

What are the purpose of these experiments on us? If they are simply trying to find a way to travel to different worlds, then why use us? We were not brought here of our own accord. What, or how, would our bodies help them achieve their goal?

Their experiments seem to make no sense, as well. I have found this first hand.

[chikaidestroyer]

The experiments making no sense are a direst result of the Shifts that take place in this world. We have had a few experiments that seemed to be repeated, but with differing results; for example, I was not affected during one age-changing experiment, but was affected during another. In that case, the Malnosso had repeated the same experiment, but a Shift had occurred that skewed the side effects on us.

There was in fact an experiment in which very few people were affected at all; it was thought to be a random kidnapping of a dozen individuals, but all of them reappeared after a single day and spoke of being returned home. That was probably the closest the Malnosso have come to their goal -- if they can send all of us back home through one experiment, they can send themselves back.

[captbetterthanu]

I see.

However, I was referring to the experiments done to those kidnapped, the one's who were sent home excluded for now.

[chikaidestroyer]

The ones who are taken individually by our captors? Random sampling, I would presume. But you may wish to inquire with either Jacob or John.
