Howdy everybody. Sorry for the dramatic exit from 23. Turns out we're not dead yet after all, so we have that goin' for us.

Me and my buddy Points are safe on Erie for now. He took us somewhere safe after I ended up injured on account of bein' recklessly curious when I aught to know better. I can't exactly tell you where, but we left it behind and made for Erie once I was stabilized. Sorry if I stressed you folks out, I was taking it easy for a bit to make sure I heal right and to take the chance to clear my head.

I feel obligated to share some of what I've picked up from my galivanting around recently with the Technocrats, and it's deeply relevant information regarding the bizarre Nomad forms that emerged from the T-23 anomaly and jumped us. The biggest takeaways are regarding Auxo's relationship with a tribe of Nomads (who seem at least kind of tolerant of us?), the circumstances regarding the Sentinels (our erstwhile visitors) and their purpose, and a little clarity about the broader situation straight from one of the Nomads in question. It's a little overwhelming; believe me, I know.

I'll attach some classified transcripts of a couple encounters with critical intelligence regarding our safety. Maybe everyone's safety, everywhere. Bear with me as far as the transcriptions for the Nomads go, I had to write all that down from memory. Psychic communications lose so much of their color in the translation to plain text, but I think it's all accurate to what was shared with me. Probably. I hope. Yep.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Take a deep breath, and relax. It's intimidating stuff, but we're qualified for this. (Y'all more than me. I've just got dumb luck.)
   
2. Don't spread this around to everyone you meet!
   
3. Try not to jump to conclusions. Still a lot we don't know.
   

I'm about done enjoying the solid earth under my feet again, so you'll see me soon. We can talk finer details once I'm back. See ya.
