[ Netwok Video Post ]

[silenziobruno]

I just think the others might want to know about it... [ Alberto is talking to someone off-screen once the video starts, and it honestly could be anybody: Grogu, Omega and Simba are in the mines and not just about anywhere. They had the necessary crystals to turn on the machines and were small enough to fit through the tunnel.

Drake, who joined them a bit later, isn't too happy with their affairs. He can be seen in the background short of tearing his hair out in frustration, while a few feet from him, Grogu looks really pleased with himself. Alberto is doing his best to aim the camera of his device to the many, MANY new active monitors and ignore Drake interrupting him at every turn. ]

"Ciao, everyone! Look what we found when we turned on..."
"-YOU HAVE NO IDEA-"
"...the machinery in the mines...."
"-COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED-"
" ...it shows some funny symbols and pictures."
"DIDN'T TELL ANYONE WHERE YOU WERE G-"
"It looks like a monitoring sys-"
"UNBELIEVABLE!!!"

[ Frankly, Alberto doesn't understand why cause such a fuss. They were all together, so they didn't break Cobb's rule of 'don't go into the mines alone'. See? All ended well! They found televisions. Alberto is about to try and say something else when there's a ping coming from his communicator, audible to everyone thanks to the fact he's still recording live.]

[ The young sea monster pauses, big green eyes blinking in confusion. He looks back at the others as if that will give him a clue, some of them are engineers too. ]

We what now...?

[ Alberto was silent for another moment, the sounds that got to Kaz were probably the other kids talking or Drake having another fit. He might be the sort of act first and think about it later, but that didn't mean that he wasn't willing to speculate. They could investigate, like in those police films that sometimes showed up on tvs. ]

The Atroma didn't want people spying on them, or recording their misdeeds, then? Communications don't work at all in the other city, but if there's a signal here that points to it, perhaps there's another room with monitors in that city as well. Do you know if the other city has mines?

[ Sometimes speculation is all there is with so little information. ]

Something like that. Whoever it was that was doing the watching would have been better off recording for later viewing anyway.

[ Kaz sighs with frustration. ]

To my knowledge, no one with the Communications Datapoint has changed whether one can receive messages at all in the other city. I don't know if there are also mines there either but I'll be looking for them now.

[silenziobruno]

[ Yes. More so in this planet, so alien, where there are so many mysteries around. ]

Maybe now that we can tell the Agrii what's down here, they could help figure out things?

[ They might not know anything, but it's worth checking. Alas, Alberto doesn't really know how to talk to them directly. Sending the Agrii a message has never occurred to him ]

Do you want me to come with you? In case you need someone small to fit into another narrow tunnel.

[demjiin]

Well, I've been trying to find a way to communicate with just the Agrii without anyone being able to read over their shoulder, so to speak.

[ Communicating with the Agrii without the Atroma intercepting it first was a project that Kaz had been working on for several months now. And the offer to come along pleased Kaz probably more than he was letting on. ]

If you want to, then sure.

[silenziobruno]

You could try leaving them a message in the Soup Lies box? They might see it there. Or use a secret code, like pirates do in maps and the like.

[ That would imply the Agrii learning said secret code too, however, which would bring a new set of different problems. ]

Yeah! It's no problem. I like hanging out with you. [ Said so casually and with honesty. ]
