To those of you who didn't already know, I'm attempting to form a network devoted to investigating certain aspects of the institute, organizing the information gathered, and redistributing it among the patient population. Areas of interest include but are not limited to the institute's monsters, the institute's history, and possible methods the institute is using to transport us here and dampen our powers. As this project is still in its nascent stages, current activities consist primarily of the aforementioned duties, but as we build a larger base to work from, this will lead into more specific pursuits that I hope will aid our eventual escape from this place.

If you're at all interested in joining this project, please state your name, provide some brief background information, and specify which area(s) you might be interested in working on. On that same vein, anyone who has any questions is free to ask them, and I will answer to the best of my ability.

And nothing else about the institute piques your interest in particular? You are able to suggest your own topic if you wish.

Mr. Lamperouge, all I want is to get my teammates home safely, so I will help however I can to best accomplish that. I believe information will get us there, and all the points you list are vital, in their own ways. If you're asking me to choose one, then I'd prefer the monsters or the methods of transport. Particularly on the first, I'm willing to go and collect the necessary information myself, if no one else cares to.

I understand that. I was simply surprised; you're the first person to reply so far that didn't have a specific interest. And-- you don't mean actively seeking monsters out, do you? I know S.E.E.S.'s stated purpose included investigating the monsters and their sources, but that's hardly advisable all the same, even in a group. I can't deny that I'd be interested in seeing what you turn up, but that doesn't make it any less foolhardy.

I understand that it's foolhardy, but do you really expect that you'll always get accurate descriptions from the patient body as a whole? We need to know what we're up against as soon as we can, and how to destroy them, to prevent as many casualties as have been reported in the last few days.

Excellent points, but... I suppose my main concern can be summarized by a single question: are you equipped to handle such an undertaking? You seem a sensible woman, and as such, I am certain that you would not have expressed your willingness to do so if you were not confident in your abilities and those of your group, but with the limitations the institute has in place and what I've learned about the monsters here, the situation becomes somewhat more complicated. Are you aware of what your limitations are?

Yes, I am. We've already tested what the limits are on our abilities, for the most part, and I'm very well aware of what my limits are in terms of stamina. Even if I do this, I wouldn't consider myself your responsibility. If something happens, it would be my own error, not yours.

In that case, I would greatly appreciate it if you were you share whatever new information on the monsters this yields. Feel free to assist with the daily monster report as well. As I've stated elsewhere, I've limited experience with creatures of that nature and would not at all mind if others were to point out things I might otherwise overlook.
