Video [Not-Temba Information Sharing]
[Good evening Temba! Tommy's back from another day in Not-Temba and on this video looking tired but thoughtful.]
Hey, sorry to bug people, but hoping I could get someone who was on the Adventure to Save the Agrii who might have gone to Not-Temba to tell me I'm crazy. Just...
I spent a lot of time in the greenhouse cataloging food and there was this one plant in particular that was SUPER bothering me. Because I knew I'd eaten some of it before, but not here. Couldn't remember what or why for the longest time. It was this stalk, not unlike a really tall piece of celery or something, and when I bit into it, the stuff tasted like buttered corn. Finally figured out where I'd had it before.
Not just that either. I think there might be Boar-bunnies in the forest. Don't quote me on it, but after you spend time hauling one back to a village to trade for meat, you sorta get a LONG look at those hooves.
Those two things put together means something very specific to me. Guys, someone tell me I'm just imagining things? Or don't and explain it. Because the two things are something I only encountered in one place before: the Graq homeworld. And the Agrii CLEARLY didn't know the Graq and it seemed like the reverse was true. So how am I running into that shit here?
[Not that he likes the idea of the reverse. If he's going mad, if he's gotten that family quirk going on, he's going to have a whole other mess of issues. And that is its own form of stress. But if what he saw was real, he has no ideas and that's freaking him out.]
I guess, what the FUCK is going on here?

Okay, cat ears sounds cut. Sign me up for THAT stupid alien manipulation. I'd fucking rock them.
[Well, at least he's not alone in being defensive.]
I'm going to make the club t-shirts for that. Pretty sure his big-blue dog agrees.

[Further loss of agency is always something that is especially difficult for her to tolerate peacefully. She's tired of all of these life-altering things just happening to her, tired of being yanked around on some cosmic chessboard.]
People aren't things. And if this was the Atroma, they have already gotten away with too much.

Well, if it's them you can count on me to ride to fuck them up. I don't like being a toy. EVen if a good thing came from it.
