On day Ten of the month of Fiddlesticks the SCA's light up and a holographic screen appears.

It has three options.

Talk to All

Talk to Team

Talk to Individual

For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. The short distance radios in their helmets also automatically connect so they can use their SCA communicators without removing life saving equipment!

Some kind of temple. [ The battle is raging around her; crabs are not particularly quiet kills, and there's blaster fire and shouting. ] There's an altar, and lights in--

[ explosion!!! pew pew ]

-- shit, someone else take over. [ And she cuts off to dive back into the fray. ]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Gods be your shield and claws! Be safe out there!

[She really does not like not being able to just teleport to other people in danger/trouble!]

I think the sooner we get these lights, beacons, whatever it is, going, the better for everyone it'll be.

[unfavorableinstigation]

And the beacons, that's...

Okay, I think one of these is supposed to be on an island.

Blue Team, that's you!

[And a few people from Purple and Orange, if Nita remembers right.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Eva's right! That's what the pictures are about. They want the islanders to light a beacon!

What that's supposed to accomplish, I don't know. But I think that's what the people of Bui were trying to do when they lit up the ocean with their device. Or maybe that was their way of telling the islanders to do the same.

Blue Team, light it up! Or help the islanders do that, whatever.

[blitzcheer]

Blue Team--? Beacon?

[ They're words echoed to try and keep track of the conversation Tidus is barely hearing, the sounds of battled hushed by the heavier sounds of blowing winds and the thrashing ocean turned into something more.

Tidus brings his SCA closer. If he's got it right-- ]

Yo! The Bui were trying to do something, now you want us to light something on land. That it?

[ He sounds hurried, waiting on confirmation. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

Yes! I think the Bui were trying to tell the land people to get a beacon going. Blue Team is on the island, so they'll be the ones who can see that it happens. Are you with them?

[ Confirmation! ]

[blitzcheer]

Yeah! [ That's a triple confirm--!! ] I'll head to the village!

[ And just shout at people until someone knows what he's on about, that sounds like an idea, right!? ]

What happened down there!? You know?

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Shouting is good! Nobody ever gets mad when you shout at them, right? ]

The people down here in the city are all in a coma, and we can't wake them up. We don't know why, though it looks to me like they were either drugged or ensorcelled. We of Orange Team were investigating the light that suddenly started shining from the shell sculpture in front of the Far Palace, which is why the ocean suddenly lit up. And then while we were there, the sea bottom gave out and dropped us down a staircase and into a cave that contains both air and water, and the walls are decorated with pictographs, as I described earlier. An island, a bunch of people around a fire, two square columns with shell sculptures on top -- and light rays coming out of the shells. Beacons.

[blitzcheer]

Okay okay okay okay--! [ that was a lot of words which 90% of Tidus did not just absorb ] --I'll let 'em know! Gimme five!

[ And time to get to RUNNING EVEN FASTER, HARDER, BETTER, AND SO ON. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin would give Tidus a high-five if he could, but this is audio only. ]

Good luck!
