Ok, Robosaurus aside, I think there's something we need to address as a group: namely those too-good-to-be-true gifts from Mother Hubbard and Garfield that let us operate gizmos in the Dead Zone.
I know we have scientists taking a look a them to try and figure out how they work (and if now isn't the time for some kind of miracle of reverse engineering, I don't know what is), but I think there's reason to be concerned about how she just so happened to send one for all of us. According to reports from Mineas Well, Flora claimed her own powers stem from her magical covenant with the Tree she inhabits, and that she had no idea how the people in armored suits managed to make tech work. Her suggestion was that they'd also made a contract with some natural source of power like the Tree. She told Jr. that she'd never thought about replicating electricity or technology because it doesn't exist in her own world. Does anyone else think it's a little shady that she was suddenly able to mass produce a bunch of these?
I'm not saying we shouldn't trust her - we don't have any real evidence yet that she means anything but good, but I don't know how I feel about all of us throwing on some mystical piece of jewelry that might have some kind of auxiliary function we don't know about. They could be trackers, or mind controllers or who knows what, and the bottom line is I don't think we should go around wearing them other than when it's necessary until we know for sure. It seems like giving them to us is encouraging us to go out in the Dead Zone, when according to Zexion, the hostile First Gens may have declared hunting season on castle residents roaming around. If she just wanted us to come visit her, the crystal should have been enough. So either she's completely on our side, and wants us to not show fear in the face of their big bully threats, which I can get behind more or less, or there's some piece to the puzzle we're missing here and we should proceed with caution.
Also, I'm working on adding all the info from Zexion and Mineas Well to my report on the Dead Zone, so you can expect that in the next week or two. Newbies, school yourselves.

I don't know if you saw this [ #] but some of us were talking about making an attempt to establish contact over the journal with the hostiles, and Allen suggested you and me to put our heads together about it. So how much do you think this has bad idea written all over it?
