ADMIN [Zo] has invited [Tilda van der Meer] and [Sylens] to the group

MARSHAL Kotallo: And then she killed Regalla.

MARSHAL Kotallo: Oh, hello.

Tilda van der Meer: Did we catch you at a bad time?

MARSHAL Kotallo: I was simply explaining how Aloy helped resolve the rebellion.

MARSHAL Kotallo: I understand you were helpful in that regard as well.

Tilda van der Meer: I pointed her in the right direction.

MARSHAL Kotallo: Still, thank you.

Sylens: Yes, thank you for drastically reducing our chances of success in favor of a naive plan because Aloy won't accept necessary sacrifices.

DIVINER: Thanks from me too!!

FlameHairSavior: Wait, Kotallo, why are you texting? Aren't you back at the base already?

MARSHAL Kotallo: I'm helping Hekarro finish with the cleanup.

FlameHairSavior: Ah.

Sylens: ...Aloy. Why in the world is that your display name.

FlameHairSavior: Erend.

HIMBO: HELLO!

Tilda van der Meer: Oh god, it's like being in high school again.

ADMIN [Zo]: I have to assume it's not as bad as the shows make it seem.

Tilda van der Meer: You people are learning from television? Of course you are.

Tilda van der Meer: This planet is doomed.

Sylens: Which is why my plan was better.

FlameHairSavior: Tilda, be nice. Sylens, be quiet.

ADMIN [Zo]: Sorry.

FlameHairSavior: You're doing fine.

DIVINER: [ListenUpYouLittleShits.png]

Tilda van der Meer: ...you've rediscovered memes.

[Tilda van der Meer] has left the group

ADMIN [Zo] has invited [Tilda van der Meer] to the group

Tilda van der Meer: I literally fled the planet to get away from memes, can we please... not.

HIMBO: I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROBOTS.

Tilda van der Meer: It was both.

Sylens: This is almost as bad as the Eclipse network.

FlameHairSavior: Oh right, they would have had access to chat. I'm guessing Helis didn't let them have too much fun.

Sylens: Constant quotes from their religion and prophecies, usually twisted to mean entirely the opposite of what had originally been intended.

Sylens: Just before I left, they discovered they could send pictures.

HIMBO: WHAT DO A BUNCH OF SUN-MAD CARJA CRAZIES EVEN TAKE PICTURES OF?

Sylens: The sun, mostly.

HIMBO: YEAH, SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THAT.

Sylens: I will admit, some of them were quite striking. In another time, perhaps these people would have had a career as photographers.

Sylens: [ANewDay.jpg]

Sylens: [DuskBehindMountain.jpg]

Tilda van der Meer: Those look like a middle-aged housewife blogging her "journey" after a divorce.

Sylens: The first one only managed to get the picture because he executed a brutal pre-dawn attack where he coordinated the massacre of an entire compound.

Sylens: The second uploaded another picture, of the man he kicked off the cliff he was taking the picture from.

DIVINER: Why did you ever think it was a good idea to work with these people??

Sylens: They were useful.

HIMBO: SO ARE HOT COALS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD GET IN A BED WITH THEM.

HIMBO: THAT'S A METAPHOR.

Sylens: Am I supposed to be impressed you know what a metaphor is?

Sylens: Because you're wrong. That was an analogy.

HIMBO: REMEMBER YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUNCH NOW.

ADMIN [Zo]: Everyone just calm down. No punching anyone, no encouraging anyone to punch anyone.

HIMBO: FINE.

Sylens: Seems reasonable.

ADMIN [Zo]: Thank you.

Tilda van der Meer: Aloy, when will you be back? There are things I would prefer to discuss in person.

Sylens: I as well. You can explain why you thought any of this was a good idea.

FlameHairSavior: I have some things to do. Nothing major, just errands in the area.

HIMBO: AT LEAST YOU CAN FLY NOW.

FlameHairSavior: Yeah, that will make things faster.

FlameHairSavior: Kotallo, what about you?

MARSHAL Kotallo: I should be back before you are.

FlameHairSavior: Perfect, we can all meet up and discuss our plans.

DIVINER: Oh! Oh! I've finally got it!

FlameHairSavior: Got what?

[DIVINER] has changed [Sylens]'s name to [Icarus]

[DIVINER] has changed [Tilda van der Meer]'s name to [SilverVixen]

Icarus: Ha. How amusing.

SilverVixen: How do you even know what either of those things are?

DIVINER: Stargate and Urban Dictionary!

SilverVixen: Oh dear god.
