[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.

cw encouraging suicide again, i'm sorry about him
[And that's not up for debate, from the sound of his tone - sharp, shot through with cold fury.]
The world - this world, any world - is not a black and white place. There is no "one right thing," and people like you who think their way is the only way are some of the worst blights on any given population at any point in history. [See above, re: Kira.] If you hate being here so much, if you want to die so badly, I don't see why you're still here. There must be a thousand ways to die here - I'd even be happy to slit your throat myself. Just tell Hope not to bring you back. Everyone will be better off.

You really and truly cannot see that this is a bigger issue than just those of us here, can you.
[Not even a question at this point, really.]
