Occasionally mods will be allowing a set number of characters to schedule an involved conversation with a mod regarding the discovery of something in game, as announced on the OOC community or on a mod log. Characters who have signed up for the option will be selected via RNG (with preference given to characters who have not yet had a thread like this), and the thread will be conducted on this page.
You can see a sample thread in the comments below, but in essence, this thread is meant to mimic the conversation a tabletop player might have with their DM. The mod will establish the setting, and you may describe your character's actions and decisions. The mod will respond with reactions and any particular consequences, and the mod and player will move throughout the scenario together, until all questions are satisfied and all actions are taken.
After this informational thread is complete, it's assumed that anything learned within is now common knowledge for the rest of the game. You're still welcome to thread out discussion or discovery of this ICly, but if you'd like to skip ahead to any fallout or follow-up action, that's also fine.
As a note, these threads do not have to be limited to one character in the scene. For the ease of moving threads along quickly, we ask that one player take the reins in terms of writing out the actions of all characters involved in the scene. We have a channel reserved in the Discord channel limited to current thread participants to facilitate OOC discussion of who's doing what for this purpose.
It will take him a few kicks, but the door does eventually give way.
Inside the room is dusty and untouched but, for once, bright. A large industrial strength spotlight is set in the middle of the room and pointed up, a system of mirrors and lenses keeping the beam unwavering, shining directly into the sky. There are banks of computer systems lining the walls, all of them unpowered. It seems the light is the only thing working in the room.
A bank of crystals has grown over the light's base at the floor, over the grid that would usually power it, and they glow softly, seemingly with a light of their own.
He can see small patches of it through crystals he's removed, and it looks fairly standard. There's a slim crack in the plastic casing, and it looks like the crystal growth perhaps caused it with pressure, and then began to edge into the casing to contact the wires and circuitry inside.
Now to go back to relying on Pod's flashlight. Everything else is shut off, though, so it's not possible to rifle through the terminals. Before taking it upon himself to make any other big changes in the room, however, it might be a better idea to make the others aware of this space. So, 9S will turn back toward the exit.
Enjoy your glowrock, 9S. If you have no further questions, then please link an example of this information being dispersed or otherwise used within a week of today!

Or, almost into darkness. One of the broken crystal fragments on the floor has retained a miniscule trace of that previous glow.
