URSULA CONTACT
URSULA is usually available for brief contact. Consider this her inbox. Although she may be busy ICly doing something at the time, she can usually spare some time to answer something.
Alternately, you can link to a thread where she is being called upon. Note that she may ignore these calls or contacts dependent on her mood. Don't worry if she ignores you once or twice, as she will sometimes comment on open posts or make broadcasts to everyone.
Please label the day and time of the contact in the subject header.
For those curious, her voice sounds similar to
this.
If any players wish to contact Naoko and her group, they are free to use this page. They will have to take the three hour trip by air or sea as there is currently no long-range communication in place for them. Please specify in the header that it is Naoko you are trying to reach and not URSULA, in this case, as well as labeling the date you are contacting the group.

Now I understand why we're all here to terraform. You coulda just told us earlier, when we got here. That probably would have helped! [ Salt aside: ] I'm all for helping the planet out to protect us from alien invaders...but is there ever gonna be a chance we get to go back home?
no subject
Hm... I'm sorry to say that I'm not really the person to ask about that. I can promise to help you all try to figure out a way back to your respective homes, but I don't want you to think that I'm capable of doing it myself. I'm about as clueless as you all are on how you got here!
[ She actually sounds a little disappointed in herself. ]
I will definitely work with you all as much as I can to make sure we're all happy in the end though! I wouldn't want any of you to be trapped here if there's a way out somehow.
no subject
[ For some reason D.Va had assumed URSULA was behind this, or at least a huge part of why they're here? Well that theory's gone down the drain. ]
No worries, I think we have other things to worry about. Like the Kharaa? We should find a way to protect you from them somehow!
no subject
When she speaks next, though, she sounds a little embarrassed. ]
Oh my. That's really kind of you, I didn't expect... It makes me very happy to hear your concern for me. But you all are the higher priority in case they do show up. However, I do want to point out that as of now we have no reason to believe they're on this planet. Karkat only learned of them because he found a datalog entry over a week ago that mentioned them.
no subject
[ Or one could be here right now and they don't even know it. If they're as small as Karkat said they are, then there could be one right under their feet! ]
I mean...we need you around. You're pretty essential to our survival. And you're really cool.
no subject
That's very sweet of you to say. It makes me so happy that you all consider me a part of the crew...
If they do arrive here, then ISHMAEL will probably be our best chance. He was programmed specifically to protect mankind from the Kharaa threat. It'd be very exciting to finally meet him!
no subject
[ ...even if "far" isn't that far, maybe ]
Oh, right, that guy. I knew about him. Maybe we could duplicate him somehow? Unless he's super huge and covers almost the whole planet. Maybe he has blind spots.
no subject
I am sure that we have very talented programmers on base, I don't mean to insult them! But even if anyone here did have the skills necessary for such a feat, I don't think we have the tech. Most of our supplies have been salvaged from crashes, which means there's a chance that it's been damaged somewhat, even if it's just a little bit... To make anything even remotely close to ISHMAEL's capabilities, you'd need the best of the best.
no subject
You know, speaking of the crashes, Karkat mentioned that you had a ship but he didn't know what its name was. What was it? And did anyone ever find it?
no subject
no subject
Okay, give me all of them, including the one you came on originally!
