Is there a signal? Can anyone hear me?
You're talking to a book, Ezri. Made of paper. Do you really want it to answer?
Umm. I mean, I am Ensign Ezri Dax. I'm with Starfleet. Uh. Starfleet. Right. [A sudden rush of words.] I'm a little turned around, because I really have no idea how I got here. Which seems to be the running theme in this book which I am talking to because I have nothing else to try.
Just find some reeds, a bit of sulfur, and make a flare. At least then you'd be doing something. Equally inane, but better than sitting around talking to a book. Because that's crazy.
[She lets out a sharp breath.]
Okay. Assuming that, somehow, this book is some manner of communication device, I could use a little help finding the village. Which is in the book. And populated by people kidnapped and given wings. Like the ones I have. Out of nowhere. Because wings were exactly what I needed to make everything come together. Wings. Described in a talking book. With a camera. A camera in an old paper book. A book that keeps rewriting itself. All this while wearing a sundress in a forest. Therapeutic. Yeah, that's what we'll call it. Therapeutic.
At least I didn't call myself Curzon. Baby steps, Ezri. Otherwise, you'll miss losing your mind. I'm sure it'll be interesting.
[She groans, and there is something of a pause. At this point, she doesn't seem to think she is still broadcasting (if she ever actually did).]
Calm down. You've been trained for this, Ensign. See if they talk about any peaks on that map that will tell you how far down the range you are. After that, all you have to do is pick a direction. There's a river, or stream, into the town, coming down out of the mountains, and the forest seems to be mostly south of that. So mountains to the right, and walk. And ignore the bugs. You'll be fine.
Okay. Fine. Not like I'm going to run into a palukoo, so I'm fine. Besides, if I do, I can always eat it. There goes the food problem. Okay. Up, let's go! Let's move, Ensign!
[The sound ends here, likely as she closes the Journal.]

[Written]
Date: 2014-03-18 03:45 pm (UTC)Interesting is certainly an accurate place. But yes, we are allowed to arm ourselves. And living here is fairly comfortable; good apartments or homes, plenty of food and supplies.
[For now. It's only a matter of time before things get pulled away.]

Date: 2014-03-18 06:57 pm (UTC)How advanced is the equipment they give us?
[Written]
Date: 2014-03-18 07:01 pm (UTC)No one knows how we were pulled here. People get sent home, but there's no warning for when it happens.
Weapons are a little tailored to what people owned. Mostly swords and the like, both what people own and what gets crafted here. There's electricity and running water in the houses and apartments, the clinic is 21st century Earth tech for the most part.
The most advanced thing in the village is the Battle Dome.

Date: 2014-03-18 07:55 pm (UTC)Healing magic helps too. [Yes. Magic.]
And I forgot, there are also teleporters here. They connect the village to the hot springs in the mountains and the beach. The person who built them is still in the village.

Date: 2014-04-05 08:49 pm (UTC)There are transporters? Has any attempts been made to modulate the carrier to penetrate the field surrounding this area? How far do they carry people to the other locations? How much mass does it convert at one time? What kind of buffer is used? How much data storage is maintained?
Who built them?
[Written]
Date: 2014-04-05 10:17 pm (UTC)The person who built them is a guy named Leon, he's still in the village. The one in the barracks can teleport up to ten people at once to the beach. The one in the rec center can carry up to two people at once up to the hot springs in the mountains. Both distances are pretty considerable.
Beyond that, you'll have to ask him for more information.

Date: 2014-04-05 11:20 pm (UTC)Right. Leon. I'll try to remember that.
