Video [Not-Temba Information Sharing]

[doubled_speed]

[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?

DUDE! Cayde was telling me the SAME SHIT! Like, not the food, but... the clothes, the architecture. He recognised it. You're not imagining shit, babe, there's something weird going on.

[doubled_speed]

The clothes? Architecture? Dude, the Graq lived in trees. They didn't really HAVE architecture.

[But he was worried that Cayde mentioned it. Fuck.]

[kyley_b]

The clothes all have two arms, not four. And he said the way stuff looked like it was made, it was like... made from their spit and shit? I dunno, he can explain it better, I didn't have my notebook at the time, I was looking for rakes and pants.

But the point remains the same: it seems very likely that the other city is related to these other aliens you guys have already met, somehow. And the likelihood of this being related to outside forces beyond the Agrii is SUPER high.

[doubled_speed]

Two arms. Wow, as someone who has been given an Agrii christmas sweater, and been hugged by Agrii, that is DEFINITELY wrong. Definitely four arms there.

Spit? Wait, you mean the stone. Shit, they DID do that, didn't they. Their spit made the rock soft for them and they shaped it, and then it got hard again. It was also MASSIVE HALLUCINATION CENTRAL. I don't recommend it. But fuck. This sorta sells the evil puppeteers thing seeing as they used the Graq last time too. Almost got us to kill them by accident. I almost died.

Pants? Dude, you've got pants. I know. Too many pants.

[kyley_b]

Yeah! Exactly!

Okay, I didn't hallucinate in the Target or anything, but I believe you. And yeah, exactly! We also have like, this theory about there being big time gaps and stuff and why maybe that explains some stuff not, uh, working properly... I'm not gonna go into it not in person.

I wanted cute ones, alright? Jeez.

[tempredmental]

Wait... are you saying that the Graq have been here, too?

[doubled_speed]

Not the rock stuff. If you get spit on by them it's hallucinations.

Time gaps? Why time gaps?

Cute? Why cute?

ALL THESE QUESTIONS.

[doubled_speed]

I don't know. Seems like their food has. And apparently Cayde mentioned them to Kyle over the stone work

[kyley_b]

Ohhh, okay. Sorry, I wasn't there.

Well. It's weird that if this place has always been on this planet that the Agrii wouldn't have previously know about the Graq, right?

Because! What, I can't want to have nice pants?! [Huff.]

[doubled_speed]

No, be glad you weren't there. It was a very abad time. We're better now than we were then.

[Tommy just worried about the way they had all lived then. Things had gone wrong so much more often.]

It's very weird. I just don't know how to answer it. At all.

You trying to impress me with pants?

[kyley_b]

I believe you.

Yeah, exactly. But we KNOW there's technology that they have that goes through time and space, so... You know?

NO! [Yes.]

[doubled_speed]

I mean, DO we know they have gear to do that?

ANd you totally are.

[kyley_b]

How else are we all here?

NO! I just. I needed some new ones. I don't like the flowy crap from Coruscant.

[doubled_speed]

Magic.

[Really? Interesting.]

I think the flowy ones look nice.

[kyley_b]

I mean, maybe? But do we KNOW that?

...oh. I mean. Thank you. I'm just used to jeans.

[doubled_speed]

No, but we don't know time machine either.

OKay, Figure your jeans out.

[kyley_b]

Well, it seems like they have SOMEthing, otherwise how the fuck would we all be here?

...okay. Thanks. I will. Jesus.

[doubled_speed]

Wanda said the last time people were brought here, it had to do with a singing planet. Well, not here here. The Drift Fleet.

I'll look forward to it.

[kyley_b]

What does THAT mean?

[doubled_speed]

I REALLY don't know. I just know it powered their ship and they were going to use it to send us home, and they couldn't because evil laughter puppet masters took it away.

[kyley_b]

That doesn't sound like magic.

Okay, but. Whatever! Whatever it is, it can go through time. So why would it not be used to affect this planet?

[doubled_speed]

Does to me. Planets singing? Seems BS.

Why WOULD it be used to affect the planet? I just am like, 'that's a lot of power to waste.'

[kyley_b]

Maybe it was a metaphor?

I'm not saying it's the Agrii, just that maybe it's whoever is doing shit behind the scenes.

[doubled_speed]

No, it seemed like the other fleet people agreed that they sang. And I heard it. It did.

It's got to be people behind the scenes. But to me? It's... Listen, I'm pretty serious about the idea of using energy wisely. And thsi isn't wise.

[kyley_b]

Okay, okay. Doesn't mean it's magic.

Okay, then why is this shit here and why didn't the Agrii know?
