[There are two sets of handwriting here–one careful, deliberate, the other slightly hastier. Still the message is fairly coordinated, and it’s not hard to imagine that the two people willing these words into existence are probably doing so from the same place (because they are).]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good day. My name is Jayce Talis and I have a business in Cadens with my partner Viktor. We're inventors and scientists back home, and we've adjusted to life here creating a variety of objects that might be of interest to people. I'm a blacksmith so primarily my work involves blades, tools, both regular ones and multi-tools, shields, canes, and collapsible versions of everything I make as a family expertise.

[Viktor, for his part, is a bit more to-the-point.]

We’re also in the business of custom projects. Given an idea, I’m reasonably certain we would be able to bring almost anything from concept to completion. Within reason, of course–we’re still working under certain technological limitations, but if a particular tool or device is of interest to you, it’s worth describing to us. We’ll see what we can do.

We wanted to let people in Cadens know that you can come to us and request what you're looking for. We give 15% off everything for the Summoned, but if you're new to the area and can't pay, you can consider anything on loan until you can save up. No hurry, we know it's hard to get started. Unfortunately we're not 100% sure if they'll let us ship these things to the other locations right now, but if that changes we'll let you know. Sorry.

Something that’s also of interest to us is the general working conditions of the mines in Cadens. We have a few ideas for basic improvements and increased safety, but any work we do will require the removal of outdated equipment. Unsurprisingly, the government is not necessarily keen on funding such an endeavor.

So what we're hoping for are volunteers in Cadens who are willing to do some heavy lifting with us to get the dangerous old machinery out of there. It is a volunteer situation although we'd be happy to make you something in thanks.

If there is interest, Jayce and I plan to extend an invitation to our domain, to exchange notes. A meeting of the minds, of sorts, for those of us who are more scientifically-inclined.

We'd really love to pick the minds of fellow scientists, inventors, or tech experts from all locations.

Thank you for your time!

[ But what a way to go! ]

WHAT DID YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH SUCH POWER?

[ It isn't an accomplishment without merit and and of itself, but he can see even now that Jayce and Viktor are leveraging what they know to help those in need. He suspects it wasn't so different back home. ]

I UNDERSTAND, IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING. MY -- DR. FOSTER, WAS OFTEN FRUSTRATED WITH THE WAY HER DISCOVERIES WERE MIRED IN POLITICS INSTEAD OF BEING USED TO FURTHER THE ADVANCEMENT OF HUMANITARIAN GOOD. WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO DESPITE THAT STILL SOUNDS REMARKABLE. IS CADENS THE SAME AS WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND, OR HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO DO MORE OF WHAT YOU WISH?

OH -- I KNOW SOMETHING OF TELEPORTATION, ACTUALLY. I USE SOMETHING CALLED THE BIFROST TO TRAVEL BETWEEN WORLDS, BUT OTHERS KNOW IT AS EINSTEIN-ROSEN BRIDGE, OR A BLACK HOLE. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

DEATH, TAXES, AND RED TAPE NOW, IS IT?

YES, AN ASTROLOGICAL PHENOMENA IN WHICH THE GRAVITY BECOMES SO GREAT THAT EVEN LIGHT CANNOT ESCAPE ITS PULL. I CAN EXPLAIN IN DETAIL BUT PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE BETTER RESERVED FOR THE HORIZON. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO HEAR MORE OF HOW YOUR OWN VERSION OF TELEPORTATION FUNCTIONS.

I WILL. IT WAS GOOD TO MEET YOU, VIKTOR. BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR CURRENT ENDEAVORS.
