[It's a video. Terra's somewhere outside of HospiTown by the forest in the background; it's late but not so late where he can't be easily seen. He looks like he hasn't been sleeping well, but otherwise alert.]
Hey there. I don't know most of you and most of you don't know me, so ... I'm Terra. I've been told in some detail we're here to save this place, and I intend to get to it.
['Now', apparently.]
Minervamon said she'd be leaving more detailed information later on, but for now I know we need to find Titamon and find the ARCloner as some first steps. It's a lot better than nothing to work with at all, but this world's a lot larger--
[A lot larger than most worlds he's been to. He can't say that, and continues after a moment of thought.]
--Than I expected. There's a lot of ground to cover. So I'm hoping to find some people willing to do some traveling. ...A lot of traveling actually. And willing to share what they find when they're traveling with everyone else. If anyone out there's got experience with uh, scouting, reconnaissance, that sort of thing, and willing to help, I'd like to hear from you.
[It's pretty clear Terra's not used to doing this sort of thing, it's all pretty awkwardly stated, with a bit of fidgeting here and there too, but he manages to stay pretty calm. This was a thing he was sure would help. Now if he could find enough people willing to help..]

If scouting and recon is what you need, I'm your mech.
Good to see someone as eager as I am to remedy what's happened to our worlds.
[...text?!?]
You're a mech? That's useful! I didn't know sapient AI existed in the digital world, beyond the digimon themselves.
If you're volunteering then I'll happily put you to work. There's a lot to do, I think, and who knows how much time there is to get it done in. You're trained in recon, or is it more of a hobby thing?

[Bumblebee realizes his mistake. He's still not used to this body. (He isn't about to get used to calling himself human though. Because if they play their cards right? They can fix this in due time and he can go back to being about 16 feet tall and being significantly less squishy.)]
Sorry. Force of habit. I'm human here, but I wasn't always. I was a robot where I come from. Different body maybe, but my processor's still got all the same circuits.
And I've got the necessary training, sir. I'm currently ranked Warrior class, but I've served as a Scout since the beginning of the War. It's something of a specialty.
[text]
Guess this place was the same way.]
It must be quite a learning curve for you then, being in a new body and a new world.
No need for 'sir', I don't hold any rank anywhere. Terra works well enough for me! But it sounds like you've got more than enough experience for what I'm looking for, that's great. I don't think we're technically at war yet, but depending on whether or not this Titamon fellow gathers up some supporters we might be sooner or later.
Do you have a name?
[There's a pause before he finishes the message. Robots didn't need to rely on verbal speech the way humans did...]
One that a human might be able to pronounce?
[text]
[But he would have appreciated a crash course, that's for sure. His first week was a ridiculous trial by fire, figuring out all the ways that his human body was infinitely more fragile than his own Cybertroninan form.]
No war yet, but I'm told that the more powerful digimon are showing up with more frequency these days. Might be a sign of things to come.
And don't worry. If you're human, my name is right up your alley. My name's Bumblebee. Not too bad, right?

[There's a small laugh, and Ringabel soon raises his hand in a greeting.]
I jest. Anyway, unless you're all full up, I'll be able to lend a hand. Have we any possible locations for this equipment, or...?
[video]
Proper etiquette says he should have offered his name anyway!! But he didn't! And now he's not sure what to do about it. Certainly, he remembers Ringabel, you just don't forget one of the first people you met on a world.
... He wonders how the chat went with Biyomon; Dorumon told him about their conversation.]
Hardly full-up. I'm not sure this is something you can get too many people for. ... And not even remotely, actually, which is part of the reason why I'm looking for people with some experience with scouting or at least a really strong sense of wanderlust.
[Wander around, send information back if something useful's found.. it made sense to Terra.]
[video]
[The chat went preeeeeettyy badly. But! It's not like Ringabel knows about Biyomon asking public consensus on his personal life first, so of course he's unsuspecting. His eyes wander from the camera for a moment, and return to it. They're focused, almost sharpened.]
Consider yourself lucky, I've both in abundance, among a few other talents. Regardless - before I'll offer my services, (should you wish to take advantage of them) I'd quite like to know what Minervamon wishes to do with this device and this other digimon. I'm afraid that if her plan is to bring harm to anyone or anything using them - I'm out.
[He has to be clear on that.]
no subject
[Terra still was. Probably so was Ringabel. He's not going to dwell on it long, apparently.]
I can't speak for Minervamon's intentions, and I don't work for her. My intentions are my own: save this world, with as minimal damage to it and us as possible. If the ARCloner is part of the reason things are going haywire then it's still important we find it, and shut it off or hide it away or something. If Titamon is as I've been told, then he's likely the cause of this mess.
[Terra crosses his arms over his chest, gaze averted, expression neutral.]
I want help. But I don't want people who'll be second-guessing everything we do from 'go' because something might happen that isn't as we planned or hoped. Doubt is a poison that'll kill us off as fast as anything could.

[ he'll finish that for you, Terra. ]
Different worlds aren't really a big secret or anything. Kinda doesn't matter if you keep that part to yourself or not. Most of my friends here already know about me and what I do.
no subject
If it doesn't matter to you, that's fine.
[But it matters to him. He could keep at least one of his Master's instructions, when he'd botched so many others.]
no subject
Wow you're really uptight.
[ really need to learn to let things go. times are a-changin'~ ]
But if you wanna go looking around, I'm game. Ryu can fly and stuff, so it won't take as long to travel.
no subject
[He looks and sounds briefly annoyed, but either he has really good control over his expressions or Terra doesn't let it get under his skin much.]
How good is your eyesight from cruising altitude? Or Ryu's? Could you spot something interesting on the ground, from the air?
[There's no sense this is looking for some excuse to punch a hole in Sora's offer, just an assessment of what Sora and his partner might be able to do. If they can manage, while at altitude, then it might be better than walking. But if too much is lost in the air..]

Hello Terra, I'm Yang. You can count me in for any adventures you want to have. I actually wanted to do more traveling before I found out I had to get here to meet up with some teammates.
[She may have only just arrived recently, but Yang is the type looking for fun or fights or both. Traveling at least promises that much.]
I can even see if I can get my friends to come along, but even if they don't I'd be more than happy to go out on my own.
Hey.
Or...with my digimon too. [She chuckles.] I've been wanting to gather more information anyway.
[video]
Hello, Yang. It seems we're never really alone here, even when we want to be.
[the barest edges of a dorumon's claws can be seen tugging at the edge of the video and a quiet "Who is it? She sounds nice! Ask her if she has any almonds!", but Terra's doing his best to ignore this and pointedly he doesn't ask.]
You and your friends are welcome, of course. I'm intending to start with day trips or a couple of days at the most til we're familiar with the area around HospiTown, if you need to wait longer for your team to show up.
[video]
[What she's not used to is people or Digimon fighting for her. That's still something she's working on.]
No, they should all be here I think. They were actually the ones waiting on me.
[She smirks.] But that sounds like a good plan.
[video]
Oh, well, that's ... convenient.
[For him. More people to put to use! Really he shouldn't be, he wasn't so good at running things, but how hard can it be to just gather up a bunch of people who like wandering around, and then go wandering around?]
In that case I suppose I should ask if they'd be interested in coming too! Supplies are going to be a bit dicey but if we're not going too far at first it shouldn't be a problem.
[Terra's certainly not wasting much time. Things to do!]
Oh yes, can I ask if you've been in this world for terribly long?
[At least for longer than him, but who knows how much longer!]
[video]
[video] somehow I completely missed your tag. :C

He's already grinning when the video connects.]
Hah, great timing! My brother and I are gonna be traveling and exploring around this new area for a bit. We'll probably even head back to the islands the Trailmon took us past some time.
[Hospitown's just too small to stay put in for too long.]
H'we can definitely let you know what we find.
[Education and information sharing is definitely a thing they do.]
[Video]
What was it? Mutual interest? Simple helpfulness?]
That sounds absolutely wonderful, I appreciate it. Of course I'd be happy to pass on anything I find out too, there's no reason not to share and share alike.
[At the edge of the video is a white nose, sniffing.]
But who are we going to tell?
Oh, right! I'm sorry, can I ask your name? I'm Terra.
You said that in your introduction message!
[Video]
Heh-hey, that's perfect. The more everyone knows about the area, the better after all. H'even if they're not the exploring type, it'll help let others know what's out there. It'll probably come in handy if anyone happens to find themselves lost too.
[Especially if someone's able to create a pretty detailed map with everyone's findings.
He chuckles, a bright smile on his face.]
Oho, I'm Martin. Nice to meet you, Terra. Me and my brother Chris are creature adventurers back home, so exploring wild terrain is second nature. H'just call for the Kratt Brothers if y'need us. H'one of us'll answer.
no subject
[Not everyone was going to be inclined to help.. but that didn't mean they couldn't use help in return.]
I'll definitely call, then. ...'Creature adventurers'? Does that mean you adventured with creatures, or ..adventured looking for creatures, or WERE creatures and just happened to adventure?
[That's definitely confusion, but Terra's trying to not come off as insulting about it. Just really bewildered.]

[Kaldur pauses before adding.]
Not to mention my team back home specialized in scouting and reconnaissance missions. It would be good to keep those skills sharp and not fall out of practice.
no subject
Terra decides almost instantly that Kaldur was going to make a worthwhile ally.]
I'm glad to hear it. You're the second trained scout that's offered help; if you haven't run into him yet you might want to say hello to a guy named Bumblebee, you and he might have a lot in common by way of specialties.
[Two was two more than he ever expected!]
Are you alright with any and all information found being shared with others who've shown interest as well?
no subject
[Never a bad idea to know of more people with similar talents. Kaldur would look into it.]
Of course. The more information we can share with one another, the better prepared we will all be.
no subject
[IE, everything being utterly destroyed.]
Once we have that established, either as places safe to go or places to make use of in our travels, I'd like to begin an active hunt for Titamon and the ARCloner. ..Of course if you catch wind of either while out there, please relay that too.
