[The helmeted visage that appears on-screen hesitates for a moment before nodding to a soft-spoken prompt from someone not on-camera.]

I... [Ugh. How do people even go about this?]

Greetings. [Yes. That seems about right.]

I have not been here long in this city, but neither have I made my presence all that known. I thought that this method would be most expedient to change that.

My... name is Felwinter. While I am no stranger to struggles of survival, I admit, I feel a little...out of my element here.

[By the slight turn of his head it seems that he looks somewhere past the camera, a point confirmed when the off-screen voice speaks up again with an encouraging, "Go on!"

Felwinter seems flustered a moment before he directs his attention to the tablet again.]

In my seeking to understand how I can be of better aid, I have explored the various datapoints and what knowledge they offer. The overwriting of information is...strange. -I digress, however.

My point being... What would be most useful?

Lord Felwinter. How are you and your ghost settling in?

[ Ikora makes sure her ghost is in frame with her marking her as a guardian. ]

[tyrants_son]

[One of the Risen that the librarian spoke of, most likely. Felwinter however pauses at the title.]

...as well as one can expect.

You have heard of me.

[cannot_flinch]

I have. Lord Saladin is a friend.

[ Ikora is debating whether to tell him she is from a future where he is dead and long laid to rest. ]

If you are looking for some way to make yourself useful there is always clearing rubble from important buildings like the hospital and library.

[tyrants_son]

Saladin...

[He's heard the name. The Risen and former warlord who's been banding together with like-minded others. He's considered...

Well, now's neither there nor then. He moves on.]

I have seen the state of these buildings. Some are better than others. Is it truly all from time and the storms?

Also, your name. I do not know you. The librarian has mentioned two...Guardians present, however. I assume you are one of these.

[cannot_flinch]

[ Ah, he's from before his time with the Iron Lords. Interesting. ]

I am Ikora Rey, a Risen with powers similar to your own. [ And a preference for shotguns as well. ]

And yes, the storms seem specifically designed to interfere with technology. The repeated occurrence has battered them down. For a long time there weren't enough people to rebuild.

[tyrants_son]

[He misses his shotgun very much.]

I see. That is good to know, Ikora Rey.

I was told by the librarian that the storms compromised one's mentality and perception. Technology as well?

[Maybe that's to be expected as even regular storms in their ferocity can cause technical disturbances. He wonders how well Exos and Ghosts can fare through these.]

I have seen signs of repair and restructuring. The people here are still much fewer than a city contains. The settlement at the foot of my mountain is small but even that number is more than this.

[cannot_flinch]

They seem purposefully designed to hinder as much as possible. As if someone doesn't want this place rebuilt.

[ Ikora had her suspicions given the nature of the storms and the goals of this place. Having never been through one, though, she only had her suspicions. ]

We are making an attempt. It is slow and only a few here can be Risen if something goes wrong in the rebuilding.

[tyrants_son]

Perhaps that is a possibility. It seems that direct answers and actual facts are a rare thing here.

[He nods in his understanding.]

Then we will be there to help.

[His response may seem naive, but he is sincere.]
