URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The following is an automated message.
Nature of Emergency: food shortage, the generator, missions, and patrols
[Following this text display is a video attachment. When it is played, the camera is focused on two teenage women in the room; presumably someone else (Sans) is recording this for them.]
Residents of the castle, my name is Rin Tohsaka. I'm speaking to you today along with my associate, Zuko, who may be more familiar to you. [Here Rin pauses to gesture to the scarred girl at her side, who only nods. Not a people person, as usual.] I request you give us your undivided attention at this time, as we have several important matters to bring to your attention.
By now, you are all likely aware of the food crisis we're facing. The stores Ozuma provided for us are rotting by the day, and are no longer replenishing. Rest assured, many of us are already working on this. In fact, I would be willing to bet many of you are either hoarding food or working on the side to generate more of it, like the soup from yesterday.
I invite anyone who's currently taking such measures to come forward, whether they've seen success or failure from their attempts. Let's make this an organized effort. Can you grow food? Preserve it? Fresh fruit and vegetables are valuable at this time, as well as a means to keep it fresh. Protein is a high priority concern, with so few animals that can be used for meat, and the difficulty fishing presents. We have a small supply of eggs, but little else. Snipers and fishers will be invaluable at this time, as is anyone else who can present ideas on this front.
[Here Zuko chimes in, brusque as ever.] It should go without saying, animals like the pokemon and the turtle ducks are not for eating. So don't try it.
[Yes, a good point to raise, and Rin nods sincerely. But let's not kid ourselves here: she knows someone is going to try it. And the only reason she doesn't say as much is because Zuko is here. Clearing her throat, she steers the discussion back around, fixing the camera with a firm look.]
More limited options, as you can see. As there's no telling when or if Ozuma's condition may improve, we have to come together and provide for ourselves.
In that vein, for what's left that's still edible and for any food we manage to bring in, the time has come to ration our supplies. [She holds up a hand and smiles, small but reassuring. Determined.] Don't panic. That sounds bad, but working together, we'll do the best in our power to make certain everyone gets food on a daily basis. What's important is making sure that food lasts, and personal nutrition needs are being met. A child has different dietary requirements as compared to a full-grown adult, for example, and a human to a monster.
At the end of this announcement you will find a survey. Filling it out will be not only to your benefit, but to fellow residents as well, to ensure the rations get distributed to the people who need it most. Moving on from that...
[It's at this point that Zuko speaks up with her usual deadpan tone and serious expression.]
Our position is still relatively strong right now, so we need to keep pushing forward while we can. I'm leading a team to continue from the waterfall area. There's a chance we could find resources to help us. I need about 3 volunteers to accompany me and two others.
If you don't have combat experience, or you haven't fought any shadows yet, don't volunteer. These missions are where we're most likely to encounter the Queen's strongest shadows. Anyone who isn't prepared is a liability.
Mostly, we don't want to babysit anyone. This isn't a good time to learn as you go along, especially as none of us are in peak fighting condition. If you think you can handle it anyways, speak to one of us for consideration.
The mission isn't the only place we need fighters. You've probably noticed increased Shadow activity even within the safe areas. So far they haven't been attacking, but we need to be prepared in case they do.
That means stepping up patrols, and organizing a watch around the living quarters. When the Queen makes her move, I want us all to know about it.
[Rin nods along. Honestly too, she'd love for patrollers who'll take charge, so she adds:] Arguably, it's more important than the mission. We'll take as many bodies as are willing.
Now one last thing, before we finish. As some of you may or may not know, the phones we use do not run on Ozuma's magic, hence why it works now. There is a generator in the altar room that powers them, but the problem is it's currently running low. Consider it a high capacity battery that only works so long as we give it power; it can take heat, magic, electricity, life energy, and more and convert it into useable electricity to power the phones and run the network.
If we lose it, we lose our communications, which is something we should do our damn hardest to avoid in a crisis.
So here are the orders. [Raising her hand, Rin counts them off one finger at a time.]
One, if you value this service, anyone with the energy to spare should come to the altar room. Two, this may not be viable for everyone, as the food shortage makes us weaker. Even those who want to help may not be able to, nor should force themselves if they are not. And three, if the generator can't get more juice, to conserve power, phone and network usage should be limited to texting, and emergency use only.
We'll do our best to keep you updated on these matters, but that's all for now. Rin and Zuko, signing off.

But people seem to be looking after the pokemon.
