Somehow, charming the portal sounds like both the best and worst idea possible... Don't do it too well, Scar, or you might accidentally give a sentient portal a crush. And that would be very awkward, on all accounts. 🌱

…oh, now that’s a hilarious thought-

I don’t want the portal to have a crush on me!

Well, hey, then it’s more likely to take you to Doc, right?

…yes, but- oh, yes, okay, that makes sense. You know the portal isn’t actually sentient, though-

How can you be sure?

…I am going to have nightmares about this…

I vote that you should talk to zedaph! he’s a redstone expert, and he certainly wouldn’t want to see any scientific discoveries/monstrosities relocated or destroyed. you could bribe him with future lab access :)

get some sleep first, though. People get stupid when they’re exhausted

[Video: Grian glares at Scar.]

You haven’t slept? For how long?

Oh please, save it, you just met me-

No, I’ve known you longer than you’ve known me. Now go to sleep. I’ll get in contact with Zedaph, keep an eye on your weird pets, whatever. But I’m not having you passing out on me in the middle of something important.

...fine.

[Video: Scar gets up and shuffles towards the door.]

Don’t touch any buttons, okay, Grian? Don’t make anything explode, don’t open any sealed doors, don’t-

I get it! Go sleep, you spoon!

[Video: Scar opens the door and leaves.]

Well. Guess it’s just me and you guys, now, huh? ...where should I start...

[welcometoarea77]

What about Joe? could you ask him for help? i know he was around the area for the roller-coaster and he doesn't seem like someone who would snitch to Xisuma

[Video: Scar waves his hand around vaguely.]

See, Joe has this... effect, on redstone. He’s just as likely to make the Infinity Portal explode than recover Doc. He probably wouldn’t snitch, but everything breaking is not what I need right now. Would be interesting to study, at some point, maybe... but that’s for after all of this.

Wait, why does Cub hate Doc? Surely he’d be willing to help save a fellow hermit?

[Audio: Scar sighs.]

It’s not an issue of Cub—or the others—not wanting to find Doc, it’s about the consequences. Cub doesn’t… approve of Area 77. He thinks Doc strong-armed me into helping him, and that we don’t know what we’re doing and we’re gonna make the whole server explode or something. He’s spying on us all the time. He’d get this place shut down in an instant if he knew Doc was missing, and I can’t… I can’t let it go! This is Doc’s passion project! He’d be furious if he came back and I’d let it get obliterated!

…and I don’t want Scara to get killed.

[welcometoarea77]

Hi Scar! How’d you get that, well, scar?

[Video: Scar touches the bridge of his nose. His fingers come away with a little bit of blood, and he peers at it before wiping it off on his dark blue jacket.]

This one, you mean? The new one? Or all of these?

[Video: Scar gestures to his face. He laughs a little.]

Three days ago, around the same time Doc went missing, Fluffy went nuts. Ripped the door off his containment cell, somehow, and I had to wrangle him back in. He lashed out a little bit—not his fault, I think something totally spooked him. He’s usually quite the mellow creature! He’s a sentient sock monkey, how much harm could he do, really?

[Video: Scar shakes his head.]

Anyway, Fluffy’s back safe in his containment chamber now. And I double- and triple-checked the seals—there was really no way he should have been able to escape, but somehow he did…

[welcometoarea77]

…Who are you?

[Video: Scar seems surprised.]

O-oh, that’s right, I didn’t really introduce myself. I’m Scar, Scar GoodTimes, of the Hermitcraft server. I’m a builder, Disney fanatic, and proud cat owner- oh man, I should really check on Jellie, make sure she’s not getting into trouble.

Maybe’s that’s why Doc’s missing. Finally stopped pretending to not be scared of Jellie. Ha, ha.

[Audio: Scar sighs.]

Doc and I research aliens, and other dangerous things. We keep them here in Area 77 to study them and make sure they can’t hurt the rest of the Hermits. It’s a very important job, and it’s even more important that nobody knows we’re doing it.

[Video: Scar rubs his temple.]

“Who are you” is a pretty profound question, you know. I guess the real answer is, just a vex who found his way in the world. And is now regretting a lot of decisions and hoping that his creeper friend isn’t dead in another dimension.

[welcometoarea77]

It seems you have actually made contact with multiple people! Hello, Scar. It might help to have a little more context-- as far as I know, no one here can contact Xisuma(or any other hermits, for that matter), but I don't actually know where you are or what sort of help you're looking for.

[Video: Scar gives you a little wave.]

Hi, stranger!

Well, if you can’t contact any of the other Hermits, that means my weird… communication… thing works, but only between me and you guys. I’m in Hermitcraft Season Six, in a government compound outside of Falsewell.

The help I need- honestly, I was just trying to contact Doc’s communicator. I was hoping that if he was incapacitated, the video would still go through, and I’d be able to see him or where he is, and figure things out from there.

I take it none of you have seen him either? Wherever you are? That was my other hope. Now I’m just making it up from here.

[welcometoarea77]

i think the hippie music slaps. 20 questions is a GREAT idea, scar, do you have any idea about what you might ask? maybe stuff about the time machine? grian, do you remember stealing the time machine back?

-🌟

[Video: Grian glances at Scar awkwardly.]

Uh… yeah, there was quite a bit of back-and-forth with it.

What did you do with the time machine, anyway?

I used it to rescue Villager Grian! And then I kinda… had a run in with Herobrine… anyway, don’t tell Hippie Grian I said this, but you should totally keep it.

Really?

After this I have decided that time travel sucks and I would prefer to experience things linearly, thank you. Also, past versions of Scar are little shits.

[Audio: Scar laughs.]
