Bastion, I don't think I have ever heard a more succinct definition of the Teragen philosophy, and yet he claims not to be a member...

He is admirably direct and to the point.

Elspeth, I don't know if you recall me. I have some brief memories of the time I was in Sierra Leone with the Pandaimonion, and we met briefly. You were very busy at the time with some unpleasantness or another, and I certainly hope you and yours are doing well.

You are hard to forget even if the meeting was brief.

Things at home are going, but it is difficult. PU is flexing their muscles and influencing the corporations to treat us unfairly. They don't want to accept fair trade agreements, they have us in a bad position so they are using that to try and make us accept bad deals. In the mean time many people are getting hungry here.

It should be over soon.

You're very kind.

I hope to establish myself here in Los Angeles fairly quickly. I would be honored, once so established, if you could take time and visit. My first glimpses of the city...well, despite what they say about the expansion of Mumbai's Bollywood, this city still has quite many things to do and many ways to draw one in. My impromptu entourage has been very helpful.

It's so frustrating unpacking even the limited supplies I brought with me. I so much just want to sightsee! There are some impressive spots to watch the people and enjoy the scenery. I've certainly found the natives quite friendly, despite the stereotypes to the contrary. Be careful, though: traffic around here is dangerous! I can't begin to tell you the number of car accidents that I've seen up close and personal these past few days.

Well, I am a Terat. Hau, Icon. I am not in Los Angeles - it is not my element - but I welcome you to the message board.

Oh, and Bastion? I'm still waiting for that visit. Inyan Kara. Black Hills, first mountain on the left. Can't miss it.

Ptesan-Wi, greetings! Your reputation precedes you.

Well, if anyone knows alternate means of contacting people in the LA area, I'm looking for a place to crash until I can get a base of operations set up.

Elspeth, when I get set up, we should discuss my getting a fundraiser/awareness concert set up for you. Publicity is something that PU shies away from like vampires hate sunlight. The Directive also.

I agree Icon. They don't mind pointing fingers, but they don't like it when people start questioning them.
