The Call

[el-escarabajo.livejournal.com]

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'm sure there are people here who would get upset if they thought you meant that some people wouldn't be able to go home." When he put it that way, it was clearer, more defined. It make the right choice obvious.

"Of course - my apologies if I worried you, Miss Dunham. I've had a lot on my mind lately."

He nodded in acknowledgment, a smile still on his face. He knew how to act confident in front of the crew.

She flashes a practiced smile, a stress reflex. "I, ah, didn't mean to be critical, sir," Olivia apologizes.

She gives herself a mental kick. Barely any time she's been away and she's already forgotten how to behave.
