URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The following is an automated message.

Nature of Emergency: cagey queen left us hanging


PRESS 1 if outside the vicinity of: home If it is safe to do so, follow the prompts to take and send an image of your surroundings to the administrator.

Users in the vicinity of: home are requested to congregate in the: mess hall immediately for: probably a good idea to come save us


Additional Notes:

* sup.
* not much, not much, just hangin' with about 3 new and old friends in this cage dangling precariously above the water.
* can't say i like the conditions either, but the cold and damp doesn't get under my skin. i think i see other cages, tho and, uh, i can't say much for them yet.
* six other occupied cages, with about three in each. hey, it's like those math problems you used to get in school.
* startin' to get a real sinking feeling so if there's anybody out there who ain't locked up, it'd mean a lot to me and over 20 other people if you bailed us out.
* see ya. sans.

[He almost corrects her to let her know that Plan B is a distant memory by this point, but that wouldn't help anything here.]

I've seen that photos are already being taken in those cages? Hopefully that will help with solving those puzzles.

My biggest worry is the keys. If your fire got bounced around, then those cages have some tricks to 'em. Keys may be the only real way out. And if there's keys, I'm worried that they'll be guarded.

I'll be sure to let Chara know.

Lacking tact, sorry. What about the people out here who don't have the brains to work on the puzzles? What do you want them doing?

As for the rest of you, just see if any of you need anything special in the packages I'm putting together? That's all I can think of.

[It's not, but it's the only thing anyone really wants to hear right now.]

[Colin no. The remark about lack of brains has Zuko grimacing. She's been called too stupid for plenty of things, you just don't do that to people, even when it's true.]

The only judgment call you can make about skills is combat abilities. Not brains.

You can ask people to help you gather supplies. Don't discourage anyone from helping unless they're being reckless.

Check in with the other groups about medical supplies. The cold is probably our biggest concern right now.

[Sigh.]

That wasn't an insult, Zuko. It was shorthand. We've got people here better at thinking, and people here better at doing. That's all.

Anyway, yes, I'll get on the medical supplies too. How are your hands doing? Still got sensation in your extremities? Everyone else? All the supplies in the world won't help if you can't hold them well.

Just start compiling a list of things you think aren't insults but offend people anyway, all right? And don't say them.

I can warm myself with my breath. A day in this weather won't bother me. If we're lucky most of the other cages have someone who can handle it too.

[Yeah, there's a reason he doesn't talk to Zuko much... he's already looking forward to returning to that status quo.]

I'll see if I can scrounge or make some heat packs, but those aren't quite so easy to come by. Flashlights I can do, maybe lanterns if I can't find enough of those.

Anything else you can think of? If not, I should get to work.

[Come on, she's trying to give you advice!]

No. I'll contact you if I do think of anything.
