I have a request.

This may already be common knowledge, but the creatures that attacked you on this world are in fact what remains of our original host species. I thought they were all dead - we all did. Thanks to the efforts of some of you, we now know there are some still alive, and that they were cruelly experimented on and damaged by the Null.

I cannot allow them to continue as they are, in pain and lashing out around them. I ask that you capture them, as humanely and gently as possible, and bring them to my temple. I have created a place for them to live below it, and I will be able to heal them there. Once they're in my proximity, they should no longer be violent.

We will be leaving this world soon. I must save as many of them as I can. Though they attacked you, they're blameless in all of this, and they have always been a non-violent species. They attacked out of fear and pain.

I know that you will not wish to help me for no reason, so for each of the hosts you are able to bring me, I will grant you either a blessing or a gift of another kind, if it's within my power.

Thank you.

HOST DELIVERY THREAD

[lingeringhope]

[This is an ooc thread starter for anyone who delivers a host to Hope's temple. Please comment here with how many your character/characters bring in and what they would ask for in return!]

Re: HOST DELIVERY THREAD

[Sonya will be hunting with Jon. Her hopes are either for the general ability to heal or baring that, she wishes for some pictures of her family back home.

OKAY before all hell breaks loose with the PvP event, Newt and his crew are gonna go out and capture two hosts using the cages and stuff from their first attempt.

The characters involved: Newt, Red Wine, Steak, Shigeru, Rosalind, Cashmere, Peter Parker (MCU flavor), Scott Ryder, Alphys, Wash, Cecily, Michael, and Carlisle.

They'll do pretty much the same thing as before, though they'll use intel from both Alphys's GPS tracker and Carlisle, who will be leading the group to the host cave thing he found with Glacius.

This group will be heading out for more hosts again after the event, so we'll think of a reward to ask for when we submit the next batch!! THANKS MODS

[northerndragon]

Jon took some people out (anyone who participates here, which tentatively should at least be him, Daenerys, Lyanna, Sonya, Star Wars Rey, and Lady Maria) and would likely have been able to manage to capture at least a few, although some of their retrieved Hosts might be relatively injured upon their arrival at Hope's temple.

I don't know about the rest of them, but Jon would definitely be interested in the healing blessing, unless Hope has a better idea; he's thinking a lot about preparing for eventual final confrontations with the Null.

SLIDES IN HERE LAST MINUTE

SO following the PvP event, Michael is going to organize another group to go out and catch a few hosts!

Once again they'll be led to the colony by Carlisle, (who will then hastily retreat,) and they'll be using both their constructed cages and Harlan's force cage spell to do the capturing.

The group will consist of: Michael, Harlan, Rosalind, Scott, Wash, Red Wine, Steak, George, and Rosen. They'll be doing their best not to hurt the creatures.

Since they're practiced at this by now and they have three cages, I think they could conceivably nab a few of the hosts. Maybe 4 or 5? If they make multiple trips.

In return, they'll be collectively asking for supplies for the lab. Raw materials (like metal and chemicals), tools, maybe a fancy machine or two if that's doable.

[originallutece]

What kind of blessing, precisely?

[lingeringhope]

Mine supplies you with the power to heal.

[redcosmedic]

Just call it a bribe like a normal person.

audio;

[lingeringhope]

I believe the proper term would be a 'reward'.

audio

[completelycrazy]

Man, you should've told me you wanted more of the little dude's captured. We've still got the supplies from catching the first one back at the lab, though, so you're in luck.

[...]

Do you think these hosts could take over for us once we sort out the Null problem?

audio

[lingeringhope]

Thank you. I appreciate all that you've done so far.

It's possible. We would need to collect enough of them, and of course make sure that they will be safe in the future.

[voice]

[hot_mes]

I don't want your blessings. I just want to help.

[he's been poring over the Null research and wants so badly to be the healer but what can he do when gods can snap their fingers...]

[voice]

[lingeringhope]

I would appreciate any help you can give.

[hasitsthorns]

So, like, what if we don't actually want anything? Is that cool too?

[ Healing powers are neat and all, but- She'd rather just help out because she can than feel like it's solely for some reward. ]

[lingeringhope]

Of course. I would appreciate any help you are willing to give.

[caeruleae]

These creatures. [She thinks for a moment.] Do they have any resistance to magic?

[lingeringhope]

No, though I would ask you to injure them as little as possible. They have been put through enough already.

[closerift]

You're really as cynical as we humans, do you know that?

[ It's with exasperated fondness that she addresses him, sighing lightly. ]

Some people may actually want to help just for the sake of it, you know.

voice;

[lingeringhope]

I will be happy if people do, but I don't want to depend on it. I know what many of you think of us.

voice

[sciencelizard]

You, uhm, you h-have the tracker info, right? So you know where they are? If we can show people where their home is, maybe we can send some sort of uhm, goodwill mission?

[She's been thinking about this a lot recently, and if there's anything she can do before they disappear, she desperately wants to do it.]

voice

[lingeringhope]

I know where that one is, and I hope that it is with others, but I can't be sure. I am happy to provide the location to anyone who wants it.

[stonebird]

I shall do my best, Lord Hope. They have no reason to fear one such as me. Perhaps that will make me more successful.

[lingeringhope]

Thank you. I hope that you are successful, but also be sure to take care. They are not thinking rationally.

[audio]

[circumitus]

Could probably wrestle a few back here while out next time. In the most humane way possible, of course.

[Or as humane as Rey knows how to be.]

[audio]

[lingeringhope]

Thank you. I would appreciate it very much.
