You just now realized this, Anna? Voice

Archer isn't here. My SON is not going to be here ever and while I'm here I can't...

This just got a lot more urgent. Anyone who wants to compare notes about what they found, meet me at the Orchard. Ask a cat for directions there's something I never thought I'd say while in the Wake if you don't know the way.

Does the word "Anchor" have any meaning other than the literal to you?

*she thinks a bit, but-* ... no, it doesn't

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

...Another administrator of the Garden accidentally, or at least against the orders of the Queen, mentioned in public that "the Anchors are holding, but it's only been a day."

I really doubt that it's what Anchor means back home, but it was a bit of a jolt. Still, it's a lead.

Offhand, I would guess it might be referring to something that... anchors this dimension into place. But with little other information on our hands...

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I just realized. We don't know what there is here OTHER than the Gardens.

...Are you armed?

[not-giga-drill.livejournal.com]

There's really too much that we don't know altogether...

Fortunately, yes, I am. Why do you ask?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I'd like your help. We need to find out what else is on this rock. If there's something out here that isn't Gardens, or someONE... well, I'd want someone with a weapon at my back.

[not-giga-drill.livejournal.com]

A scouting mission, then? There very well could be something out there that we could find...

I'd have to speak with the commander first about it, however.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Your commander is here? That's... both reassuring and very, very ominous.

[not-giga-drill.livejournal.com]

There's quite a few of us from the Bureau, too.

... she's not actually part of the 108th Battalion, but unless anybody else from the Bureau shows up that outranks her, she'll be my commanding officer for the duration of this incident.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Good to know. I'd like to meet them at some point...

Anything else you managed to dig up?

[not-giga-drill.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, any concrete information has been just about impossible to come by.
