[voice] - let hope burn in your eyes

[Locked to all characters remaining on the ship; backdated to the 18th.]

I'd like to speak with anyone who's interested in coordinating a structured response to the recent disappearances. If we pool our resources in terms of anything technical that needs to be done, and in terms of things like creating small teams and scheduling the usage of rescue vehicles, things will probably run more smoothly. Retrieving as many people as possible is of paramount importance.

Those of you who have experience in search and rescue, on-the-ground stealth, investigation, intelligence work, and programming and electronics would probably be the most useful… but if that doesn't include you, and you're interested, there should certainly still be a way for you to help. I realize that many of you probably already have ideas about how to proceed, but it couldn't hurt to discuss them so that we don't interfere with each other.

To begin with: if you're able to make contact with anyone who's missing, see if they can capture and send some images of their general surroundings -- but only if they can do so without being seen and can preferably send the results privately. Having that kind of information ahead of time could be overwhelmingly valuable.

Let's do whatever we can.

all voice on his end, btw! whoops!

[ryuuzaki]

That certainly sounds useful.

[That's an understatement, but his tone remains smooth and businesslike.]

How do you get into places you shouldn't be? Some people can pick locks, some can walk through solid objects... tell me privately, if you need to.

hah! charlie'll respect it and switch to private voice:

[that_cost]

Eh...nothing so shiny as that. I melt locks.


Occasionally, I figure out how to undo latches with clever use of a hanger or stolen credit card, but that takes way too long when one needs a place to sleep.

[ryuuzaki]

That's still useful, particularly if you work quickly.

Have you ever done something like this before? If anyone has been enslaved, it would be like stealing something very large, albeit hopefully cooperative and mobile under its own power. But the surroundings may complicate the matter... say, for example, they're kept with someone we don't have the ability to bring along.

...


does it help if I say I've broken out of a situation like this?

[ryuuzaki]

Yes.

[That's not just experience, it also may indicate an ability to put herself into the same state of mind as people who might themselves have been captured.]

Out of curiosity: what were the circumstances?

[that_cost]

My abilities are far too interesting to the wrong people. They kept me and my dad in a facility and kept bribing me with things, trying to get me to show what I can do. They kept me away from my dad, and then killed him, so I lost it.

[ryuuzaki]

I understand.

[Well, they did want to see what she could do.]

There are some doors here you should be extremely careful not to open. Has anyone warned you about that?

[that_cost]

No.

[ryuuzaki]

Apparently, it's marked. They trapped a creature behind it some time ago -- before my time.
