[Mello is all business today - it's Door day, which means new arrivals are likely scanning the network looking for answers, and those who have been here may be looking for signs of those they know who have just arrived. No time like now to make his appeal to his fellow captives.]
We need better documentation. I know this isn't the first time I've said this, and it's maybe even more true now than before - the Null's recent contact with us and the information we've been able to glean from them makes a compelling argument for this, I think.
[He pauses, collecting the words for the rest of what he has to say.]
Frankly, we're not very well organized. We can do better than we have been. What I'm proposing is this: I want to assemble a team to collect and maintain information about our circumstances here - the entities responsible for bringing and keeping us here, their enemies, this war in which we've found ourselves caught in the crossfire. It's not an exaggeration to say that our survival could very well depend on these efforts. Now, I don't care if you have special qualifications or prior experience with this sort of thing - all I ask is that you agree to work as a team, and that if you say you'll do the work, you follow through reliably. If you're new here, familiarize yourselves with the introductory guide and the historical record. Ask questions. Bring us your ideas. If you uncover relevant information, you can contact me, Mello. I'm in the directory, under M.

[L trusts even less easily, but he has yet to speak with them. He only has reading the words of others to go off of, and his own restless cynicism.]
They are trying to survive. More than that, they seem to be trying to help us survive, so in this case, it's their word over the Null even though it feels a lot like Stockholm Syndrome to phrase it that way.

[Mello did speak with them, and he found them more forthcoming than even the most straightforward of the gods.]
All we can do right now is collect the evidence, sort through it, see what story it tells us - then make an informed decision.
[Three guesses from where he learned that, and the first two don't count.]
voice.
I agree that is has to be done; as with any case, the first step should probably be nailing down a set of potential motives on both sides, with both premises in mind. If we're going to cover everything, that can help with a more targeted approach to make what's relevant stand out more clearly.
