thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

⋆ All information is current as of day 62 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

⋆ The storm around Thisavrou is rather quiet this month. Although there is still an upsurge in the number of Outpost techs called in, many of them have been put on standby until otherwise needed. Weather on Kauto is a moderate 70°F / 21°C during the day and 65°F / 18 °C at night, and Chioni’s has reached dangerous highs of 200°F / 93°C at peak hours.

⋆ Savrii Notices:

Region One grocery depots are offering sixty percent off of any item purchased between day 70 and 82.
Region Three’s residents are doing a pruning ( every sixty days or so ) and all excess is available to be taken; if you need it for mulch, lumber, etc. it’s free to anyone.

⋆ Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

Day 65 (March 6th) - The locals of Region One (R1) are looking for extra help with cleaning and are hiring pairs to run each machine. They’ll pay 50 sencs an hour or 300 sencs for a full day.
Day 68 ( March 10th) - A group of newcomers have taken shelter in Region Five as their home world is no longer habitable. All of their belongings have been brought through the Ingress and is stacked up outside the EN-Line in R1. Savrii are paying volunteers 70 sencs an hour to help transport everything to their new homes. This species returns kindness with kindness, and will offer any volunteer who goes the extra mile tips ranging from 100 to 200 sencs.
Day 75 (March 16th) - With temperatures on Chioni reaching record highs, some scientists and researchers have been stranded due to EN-Line shutdowns. Those in the Ingress Complex are offering 950 sencs to anyone who is willing to withstand the heat and rescue their fellow colleagues. Any equipment needed for the trip will be provided, but due to the greater increase of temperature, some suits may only cool a body inside for a total of four hours before needing replaced. Plan the trip wisely: most EN-Line access has been completely revoked and travel by foot (or vehicle) is necessary.
Day 87 (March 28th) - Scientific Study. Do you smoke? Are you addicted to any substance? A scientist researching methods to combat addictions, of all kinds, is looking for volunteers. He’ll ask a series of questions, take samples, record, study, analyze, and apply new procedures over the course of a day (nothing invasive without permission). Compensation is 800 sencs with complete cooperation.

ingress travel info

⋆ Signatures are the base reason for traveling through the Ingress (aside from general exploration and monetary gain) and are used to discover the correct world visitors on Thisavrou wish to return to. Every visit through a different Ingress brings the technicians a little closer to finding it. The two worlds open for access this month only have a slight impact on the signature of each person who travels.

⋆ Missions are jobs or specific tasks listed on the TAB once new worlds are open for exploration. Be sure to check if Clearance Levels are required to accept some of these missions.

⋆Clearance Levels are given to visitors for the length of time they have been on Thisavrou (or traveling on the Moira). Each CL offers access to certain things or incentives that others will not have.

deslora

⋆Upon entering the world of Deslora, everything seems to be connected by an intricate tunnel of tubes that lead to different and very explorable areas of this new place. Ingress travel will have been quick but somewhat nauseating for most, and returning to Thisavrou will result in the same feeling. However, it wears off quickly, and Deslora is opened as EC (exploration class). Aside from the bright colors of the “walls” and the excessive lights, there are also smells of familiarity—to some. Popcorn, pizza, cotton candy. They waft through the tunnels and get stronger the closer anyone comes to the first open area of Deslora, and depending on the route that is taken, some may have to crawl or walk right into it.

⋆Food, perhaps, might be one draw to Deslora, but it is not, so to speak, the main attraction. After piling through the tunnels, it’s like being inside a massive tent. There is no natural lighting, everything illuminated by bulbs or torches placed strategically across the path that leads to an equally smaller tent. Dangling above the doorway is a sign that reads Laugh Your Way to A Smile with reflectors and pieces of glass hanging from its bottom. Entering the tent will reveal a very small but intricately designed room full of twists and turns and mirrors. The strange thing about them comes with looking at your own reflection; passing by will do nothing. If you linger too long, you find your own physical body beginning to take the shape of what is reflected in the mirror. Sometimes, you are stretched thin and tall. Sometimes, you are short and round. And other times, you will find yourself suddenly wavy and curved from head to toe. These changes do not hurt the first few times they happen, but after the third look at your reflection, some alterations may cause pain in your limbs or torso. It increases each time you look at a mirror, and while the effects will fade after a few minutes, it’s best not to linger too long and find your way out through the otherside.

⋆Located several tunnels down - or up, depending on the direction you go - from the Deslora’s ever-popular funhouse is another equally famous attraction. At the top of the steps, a worker waits to pair up individuals into groups of two before ushering them inside the first set of doors. The foyer is quiet, and after the doors behind you have been shut, two single doors ahead of you and your partner begin to illuminate. There is a sign between the doors: Pick A Path . Once through the chosen door, it will lock and the door will slowly fade away. It will quickly become evident that what is in this room is specifically targeted at one out of the two people inside. A happy memory, a beloved hobby, the person you love most - the scenario is always different, but the overall feel is the same. Whatever the room has transformed into, it’s what makes that person the happiest. If it’s a person, they can be spoken to and touched, if it’s an object, it can be used. As the interactions between both characters and the room increase, subtle changes will begin to occur. Slowly, the contents of the room begin to morph into something new. The combination of what one person loves the most and what the other hates the most. The only resolution to be had is to confront the issues and find something in the room to help. For one past patron, the room transformed into thousands of paintings that morphed into painted memories of their partner’s most painful memories. The only way out was a can of varnish tucked back into the corner of the room. Be creative, be careful. Find the way out together.

thisavrou (R6)

Every so often, new Regions are built to accommodate visitors who are looking to make Thisavrou their homes, a place to work, and many other acceptable reasons. The Savrii pride themselves on being open to explorers and travelers, allowing Thisavrou to be a mecca of trade, exploration, and for some - a place to live. During many meetings with Savrii intermediates over the course of 600 days, an agreement was made with an entrepreneur looking to find a safe place to build their business. The funder, John Hammond, spent millions of sencs on the proper permits and is funding the building, transportation, expansion and overall creation of Region Six. Over the next 30 days, Mr. Hammond will be following very specific building schematics and with this, will be hiring temporary workers to fill the positions required to do so. Job postings will go up and those that do well, might be offered permanent employment when Region Six is up and running. Hammond, along with his temporary work posts via the TABs, will release a missive explaining the following: a few days before the Region is open he will be hiring a large number of permanent employees in (research, science, ingress, cleaning, security, transportation, customer service) fields. He’ll also thank all Savrii, and anyone living on Thisavrou, for allowing him to bring him and his to live here.

It's made for engineers like me and you, Darin.

[lúcio spins around on his chair, crossing one leg over the other.]

Of course, man. What's on your mind?

I have all day, Chara.

[he doesn't, as evident by his bright peal of laughter.]

Already there, man! I'm down!

Now I'm not lookin' in the mirror? Yeah.

[he continues smiling at her, making sure his gratefulness keeps radiating.]

Thanks again, Angel.

You told me once that you led a revolution...

What...was it like? How did you cope with something like that? Having so many people depend on you?

It's not easy, not at all. Sometimes I didn't deal with it.

[he puts his amp back on the desk, rubbing his goatee.]

I had to rely on my friends a lot. As much as I was the face of the revolution, I didn't do it all alone. No-one could do something like that alone. Of course, when people started getting hurt and arrested because of actions I'd inspired in them, it was hard. I had to face the fact that their lives might never be the same because of me - that kids woulda lost a parent or sibling. The thing that helps is... knowing that despite everything, they still made the choice themselves. That doesn't mean I had no part or carry no guilt, but at the same time no-one held a gun to their head and forced them to do it. They did it out of loyalty, and all I can do is continue to support them the best I can.

It gets hard, but I try not to dwell on the past. A choice I made that didn't work out, a location that was raided because I didn't pay enough attention... all I could do was learn from that and move forward, but at the same time never forgetting what happened. That would be a disservice to those who were affected.

"Then we make a way out."

When presented with a seemingly immutable obstruction, you brute force a solution. You claw your way out, no matter the cost.

"This part is your memory." They indicate the battlefield with the opening of a hand. "How did you leave?"

Don't you have anything better to do?

[They can't precisely muster even a token inflection of irritation. Perhaps because they already presume to know his answer.]

[Venom's just glad Nate's not trying to kill him.]

I've been an enthusiast for many years, and I know how to make my own blends. The shop part will be new to me.

[Paauuuussseee...]

I have been reading up on the subject, however.

Could be, I dunno. Maybe it was the guy with the claws...

[Ignoring her now, eh? Well, it takes more than just that to shake J off. Just as Nihlus has probably noticed by now, unfortunately.

After a minute or two her giggly fit ends and J grabs her cold drink and gets up, sliding the sunglasses down from the top of her head back on as she approaches annoyed hot Turian.]

My my. Aren't you a sight, sweetie.

Yeah. I do. I think you'd be a good stepping stone for Lance.

[So there.]

[Lavellan could have laughed if he'd had the energy. Always believed in him. As if Varric hadn't just met him barely a month ago. Not for the first time he wondered how much of Varric's concern was just due to the universe's most ridiculous case of mistaken identity. Also not for the first time, he wondered whether he had enough pride left to care.

And again he was asking questions that Lavellan didn't know how to answer. He couldn't cite Solas's body language, his tone of voice, the feel of the conversation they'd had--if Varric was inclined to be convinced by evidence like that, he'd already have taken Lavellan at his word.

There was only one thing he could really say.]

Because he said so. I told him that I'd do whatever it takes to show him he doesn't have to do this. He said--he said he'd welcome the chance to be proven wrong.

[And he called Lavellan his friend.]

[That made him laugh out loud.]

What, devilishly handsome?

[At her inevitable embarrassment, he kept going.]

There's no point being shy about it. I'm obviously elven. If I was uncomfortable with you being a human, believe me, you'd know. I'm told I'm not discreet.

Well, good luck to you, pal. Retail's not my thing, but if it works for you, that's great.

[A LONG SUFFERING SIGH.]

Is that code for "I have something I want to check out and I'm going to drag you with me".

[ This is a lot of hugging. Lance needed it more than he realized, though. ]

...Thanks, Shiro.

Hey.

What are teammates for?

[Back home, a man his size putting on a display like that would have terrified her. Even though she knew Reinhardt probably wouldn't make an attempt at eating her, she still gazed at him in trepidation.]

[Or maybe that was just her own person matters rearing their heads. She hadn't forgotten what she had came here for. Had been chronically avoiding them, yes, but she hadn't forgotten.]

Funny how they seem to come up, even away from it all. [Angel lowered herself to sit upon the ground, gazing up at the hulking man.] That's... actually what I hoped to talk to you about.

[The only thing that registers to do to her is... handing back the glass. Gently. Carefully. Because he might actually break it if he holds it too tightly. These are things that have happened before.]

Oh, yes. Always. It happens most often when others from home have also arrived.

[He tilts his head, leaning his hands on the handle of the axe. Pushing the head of it an inch or two into the dirt.]

Hm? What is it?

[Naturally, it took Angel another minute or so to set the suitcase down near the man. Not everyone could be an enigmatic, in shape and rather grouchy man, after all. Not that she wanted to have anything but one of those traits.]

[At the very least, he wasn't grumbling at her slower pace, or accusing her of being in the way of other people. She could be happy for that much. Begrudgingly, at least.]

Is there anything else you need? [Her debt had been repaid, as far as she was concerned, but it wasn't like she could put up a fight if he decreed it wasn't. Not only would it not be worth it, but it wasn't like he was asking her to burn down a village.]

[In the end, she was still helping people.]

Not too many, I hope.

[If she understood anything about Krieg, it was that he was excessive. His hulking form, his booming voice, and the rather impressive amount of viscera he seemed to be able to gather up in combat -- all of it was evidence of his need to be, well.]

[To be Krieg, would be the best way to put it.]

[The problem in this case would be that her room was a finite space, and the stuffed animals didn't seem to be diminishing at all. At the end of the day, she would like nothing more than to actually fit into her room.]

For now, I think this will suffice. What is her name?

I wouldn't thank me yet.

[Angel pushed up onto the tips of her toes, as if she might magically grow a handful of feet. At least then, she would be able to peer over the walls and spot the exit.]

We still have to make it out of here, my friend.

That's where I went wrong.

[He takes a sip of his beer when it arrives, and makes a thoughtful face - mildly disgusted, but pretty intent on continuing.]

Real pirates on their world, but one of them said something about pirates declaring they're pirates and he seemed kind of surprised that Sir Francis could be a hero to the English and a pirate to the Spaniards, so it might mean something else over there.

[A vague shrug.]

Sam'd still like them. [They were cool!]

"I don't remember," he says, simply. "And I'm not trying to mess with you, this was over 3 million years ago. I don't remember what happened. Probably a drop ship, or something."
