[ NOTE: This post is set before the barrier goes down, so if that means it ends up needing to be backdated a day to sometime after the meeting but before the barrier goes down then assume it is. ]

Hey-ho, my compatriots! Things seem to be heating up, right? That mission that Tyr-san was talking about, the plans for exploration that some of us - myself included - have in mind, and the promise that barrier's going to be down soon. It's sort of spooky, but it's also exciting.
That said, just as there's the future before us, there's also the past... a matter of legacy, you could say? [ And then there's the sound of him tapping his knuckles against the wall. It's echoing some, and he got in past some labs by asking politely, and found this here memoir wall ] I wish these things had videos, but you guys should come down into the tunnels and see this. There's a wall here of momentos - little things that people carved or drew here to pass on sentiments or information to the people of the future.
[ And he tilts his head, still holding his book in hand. He's trying to be coy. He's still not 100% sure if the Filial have access to the things he and his future people say, and how much is supposed to be a secret. He's been covertly asking question after question all over town, playing the part of a curious individual: What are they working on, what's their relationship with the people outside the barrier, who are their leaders, a little bit about their history, if they've heard of certain key individuals from the future (passing it off as asking about people from his own world if pressed), how they think and feel about this or that... it's been interesting. Still, this Wall does provide even more insight. but more importantly, what if they left messages here? What if they made warnings or little hints for people down the line to make the future a better place? That could improve things tremendously. And so he hits it home with: ]
Maybe we should pass on some thoughts ourselves, given we're so clearly hitting a turning point. I know I'm intending to leave something for the next batch of newcomers, in case we bungle something.
[ And with that in mind, he slides against the wall, speaking to the book again, letting it rest on his knees: ]
Speaking of, I know I'm going to explore and a lot of people are hoping to get called in for that mission, but anyone specifically planning to stay behind here? Romeaus-san himself say that some people need to hold down the fort, and looking at these labs, I think a lot of people are working on leaving their "legacy" in the form of advancements in our technology or systems. Anyone got any projects they're on now? Who knows, if you speak up maybe some other people will overhear us and join you...
Actually, more over, just what is everyone planning to do? Talk to me, I promise on the name of Masaomi Kida I'll give you a pep talk if you need that courage.
[ Even if he's just talking to talk, really. It's his own calming agent, because they're in some serious shit now, so making a few jokes, talking about nothing? Differing the topic? Sure, he trusts Shikamaru and a lot of other people here but... well, it's still tense. He hopes someone out there is working on little technical things he can't help much with. Still, exploring... not that the rustic life suits him, but still ]
[ Also if you want Action he'll be exploring around the tunnels/labs until he's asked to leave, and after that you can catch him at his house (if you know where he and his roomies are shacking up), around the town taking in the sights/talking to people/looking to see if anyone's doing specific things, or sparring with some of the locals, who are antsy about the potential coming conflict. Maybe sparring with others from the future if they want to. Despite always saying he's a normal, he never realized how weird it is to fight without some of the gimmicks he's picked up here ]
