The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

I am so sorry for my fail here.

"Thou wilt need a watch o'er the 'living area'. 'Tis possible these defensive measures may come from there as well. Leaving a vanguard to watch and reclaim the area ere Stacy strikes back would aid in securing a supply line for all. There are too many here, and no stockpile lasts forever. Should this become a siege, thy supplies will run low, and the immobile defenders will find themselves facing more problems than this ... ship's defenses." It wasn't a question, exactly, but Khel felt it a fair point to make.

"My unique state makes me the logical choice. My magic doth fail to discriminate, meaning that my fear aura and death magic be as likely to envelop any ally in addition to foe."

"This Communication Team be immune to magical fear and life-draining magics, then?" He was becoming used to others calling him a person, so he pointedly ignored the urge to deny it. Besides, he was rather convinced Sheeana would stab him if he did deny it.

"My power exudes outward and around me; I cannot control whom it targets, enfeebles, or slays."

"I shall keep my distance. And thou need not fear. Naught can slay me; I am already dead."

"Hnn... I have a way I could help with the City's perimeter, but it would be indiscriminate enough to get in the way of any getting back and forth for the duration. And I'd need a few assistants, but that's a lighter concern." Wednesday gestures vaguely. "How much of what you want to do depends on us not just hunkering down in one place?"

"Think of the worst blizzard you've seen in a long time."

"I can do most of the preparations without starting it fully," Wednesday says with a slight nod. "I'll need at least one or two people who like cold to help me set it up. The more the better."

Static coughed. "If you've got anything like some old batteries, anything that can hold a charge, really, I can set some pressure traps. They won't be good for much, but they will make some noise and a nice flash." He shrugged. "It'll let you know where they are."

"You'll have to talk to engineering, see what they can spare. But most batteries and portable energy sources would be at premium."

"Uhm..." From her plantsuit pocket, Cassie pulled out her Nintendo DS and tossed it to Static. "I meant to turn that in earlier." This was embarrassing.

"Ah, for the suits- do you have anything for the size changers or shape shifters?" Alright, she couldn't think of any other size changer she'd met but she couldn't be the only one, right?

"I'll have to check inventory, but that'll be done a little later. Right now we need to focus on and refine the mission plans."

"Stick me with that chalky and calcified organic." Sentinel pointed at the skeleton. "I'm quite certain none of whatever's wrong with him can affect the inherent superiority of mechanical life, and I certainly don't need to worry about things like air."

Zach approached Cassie, overhearing her concern. "I can use a destabilizing enchantment for your suit to accomodate shifting in size, I've already figured out how to reshape these plant-suits as necessary." He gestured to his tux.

Ryuu's ears had perked up at the mention of 'cold'. "I can withstand the elements most well, due to my training. I have experience with water and cold in particular."

He then reflexively looked very sad. "I'm sorry I can't offer to do more without my shodophone, but I can assure you will do my best to help defend others, and withstand this blizzard to aid in it's construction."

Mia looked at Jaime, steeling herself slightly. "I'll stay on the defensive team... a crossbow or longbow's got the ideal range and accuracy to hold attackers at bay, and I can go non-lethal if necessary."

She squeezed his hand, the 'I'd rather be watching your back' very apparent.

"I can cope with snow well enough. I offer my assistance with the blizzard as well," Pirogoeth said. When you were an expert with fire magic, you knew how to get yourself warm.

Katara decided to speak up. "I also have pretty decent abilities in the cold, as where I lived was covered in ice and snow. But if you ned me for something else, I can do that too."
