I feel like my first words to the multiverse should be something big and important but I've been staring at the screen for a while now so I'm just gonna stick to the basics.

Hi. I'm Dave.

I got here a few days ago. I was assigned to what I'm gonna call the nerd unit in the Perimeter Guard, which means I should be developing stuff to make the rest of the Guard's life easier. I've been reading a lot and kept an eye on the network but-- you know, at the end of the day, it's easier to go to the sources and just ask people what they need based on their experience, so...

Yeah. What do you need? What kind of problems have you encountered on the other side of the wall? What weak spots should we be working on to improve? Do people go out there a lot? I mean more like, REALLY deep in the jungle. (Or forest, or valley, or whatever it is. Probably defies definition.)

Because not gonna lie, guys, I though I would see a bunch of drones on the wall. How come we don't have an army of drones already?


[Maybe if you explain the term first, Dave...]

[This requires some triangulation, but not much. The camera is what's in the phones; others in the Perimeter Guard fly.]

Like sending out a bird and being able to control its flight and see through its eyes for scouting. I knew a man who could do that.

[He'd killed a man who could do that. And dying Orell had warged right up into his eagle and tried to scratch out Jon's eyes.]

If you make things for the Guard, your drones would probably be useful. Can you keep them high enough above the trees? There are people who fly, but they could probably use their time on better things.

They called him a warg, a skinchanger. Not something many could do, but useful for those who could, if they could slip into a bird.

[There seems to be some difference between choosing to do it and having it happen in your dreams all unwilling, and Jon doesn't volunteer just now that the latter has happened to him.]

I'm with the Guard. My name is Jon Snow.

You'd want them to be high enough to keep clear, but not so high that they miss things. There are some heights where even a mammoth looks like an ant. Have you been that high before?
