Public Newcomer Helper Log Thread

[eyvind]

I wung (winged?) around a few days ago, New York mostly. Met some kind people, and even discussed some spiritual matters with an Oracle who was quite enthralled with my being for a time.

Let me tell you some about the people.

I first came upon this Crusty fellow. He seemed very friendly but needed some help with credits, so was asking people who passed by for spare change. I think he needed it to buy hearing aids, that's what some of the people he met suggested in any case.



Nolan came along, wondering about what was going on. After some amiable conversation, he too spared some credits for Crusty. Shortly after, Crusty had some trouble with his ship and had to fly home.




I idled back and forth a while, and eventually followed Nolan to Planet Manhattan. I think someone sent out a distress call, he must have been answering it.



Destrozador was flying around Manhattan and looked like he was causing a fair bit of havoc from where I was floating. Nolan tried to reason with the man for a while, but I think eventually he had to -- reluctantly, I think -- attempt a more agressive solution.





Marcus encouraged Nolan to deal with Destrozador quickly, threatening to help.





After a few minutes they were all tussling, and having quite a bit of fun I believe.



As I floated above the fair planet, more people congregated. Some to watch the scuffle, others just to socialise or relax.



The FCS Citizenship, a fine ship, mostly sat in moor. Her crew was quite busy, naturally, but little of that commotion shone through to the outside. The captain was likely observing the goings on around his ship while attending to his undoubtedly very important duties.





The FCS Citizenship was joined by two more relatively passive ships. One seemed to merely fly around with a curious attitude. The other -- a wise oracle -- struck up conversation with me, after identifying my presence. We spoke of ends, and he mentioned his work to prevent an end. Nothing specific, but we understood each other.
