animus_network | [Video] Reorientation

[Prussia is sitting in front of the Network screen like nothing ever happened, like he hadn't just poofed out of the tower for a good deal of time. His yellow bird is in its customary place on his head, and not even that recent network post he spotted questioning whether the pets were real could make him do anything else with it. It didn't matter if it wasn't "his" bird; he'd accept whatever made him comfortable here. That, of course, is beside the point; he's got some serious catching up to do.]

Hey, everybody. Guess who's back and awesome as ever? Prussia. Yep, awesome. [He's not putting much gusto into the word today.] Had my initiation oatmeal and everything.

I dunno if anyone noticed, but I've been gone for a while. Did anyone see a stone in the graveyard for me? Just wondering. So, because of that, I need someone to catch me up on just what's been going on in the tower. I have no idea how long I've been gone, because being stuck on a dead world kind of screws up your sense of time. So, if anyone could tell me what I've missed, that'd be greeeeeat.

Oh yeah, another thing. Is Enoch still here? Just wondering.

*Enoch manages a small smile at that, at least.* It's good to see you back. There's a lot to say. Walk with me?

*He motions for Prussia to follow as he heads for the stairs down.*

Of course, of course. [Prussia follows Enoch as he goes.] So, what's the deal?

Well, first...ah...forgive me, I can't recall what you were here for last.

*Things have been a little crazy lately, naturally.*

Stuff starts getting a little fuzzy for me around the time Jason died. So... I was probably around for a bit before that, but not much longer.

All right...after Jason died...

*He leads Prussia down the stairs and through the gardens, towards the center where the lone real sapling and the teleporter stand.*

Well, after he died, we went looking for Dax's research.

[Prussia follows, though he doesn't know the significance of the sapling.]

Dax had even more research left behind for you guys? Geez, that guy knew how to leave a legacy even better than I did. What did you find?

Of course he did. The piece of research he asked us to broadcast over the network said as much.

*The glamour around the sapling is shown to contain a teleporter - they are now in the secret room. Enoch gestures to the paper he's taped to the wall.*

That is what we found.

Buh? Where are we now? [A plant that's actually a teleporter. That's news to Prussia.]

And what's on the paper? I mean, I'd go look for myself, but I don't want to accidentally tear it or sneeze on it or something. [Given that what's on the paper is probably very important, Prussia thinks his concern is justified.]

It's all right to look for yourself. There are at least two other copies around here.

*He leads him closer to the papers, which detail the findings of the hacking team he led earlier.*

This place is safe, provided for us by Aria and her people - the workers with the damaged collars. Aria is the one wearing eyeglasses. Take care not to mention her, the existence of this place, or the location of the teleporter on the network or near the walls. It's where we organize the fight for our worlds, and the only true sanctuary in this tower.
