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!

I'm betting fire, too. If the materials are already there, then light up or get those priests to light up!

[ He can hear the battle, too, and he wishes he were in it. ]

Ugh! They won't do anything until this place is cleared! Some religious nonsense about having to re-sanctify the chamber before they can do their shit. It's less about the fire and more about whatever ritual they gotta do I guess.

[Why yes he does sound really annoyed. He may have spoken very harshly to some poor old dude and nearly knocked his head off, but he managed to restrain. A crab suffered a horrible fate instead.]

Anyway, we're on it!

[laurefindil]

I am pretty certain

[Watch out for those teeth!]

that if worse comes to worse I'll just stand in the bowl and light myself up after the ritual is done!

[theturksway]

[He's just...not even got any words for you right now, Nightlight. He's pretty sure that's not how that works though. He's gonna...go back to fighting monsters now, kthx.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Reno, if the priests won't light that fire, light it up yourself! I'm betting it's the beacon that counts, not the re-sanctifying of the temple that matters. But it sounds like you've already guessed that too.

Glorfindel, don't light yourself up! No need to sacrifice yourself again! [ Anxious and not considering that Glorfindel probably only means he'll use his own spiritual light. ]

[theturksway]

[Actually he doesn't think Curufin's right about that one.]

Yeeaaah, we're inside a cave. This ain't no beacon, at least not one that can be seen visually from anywhere. This would be the part of the picture that has people around a fire probably doing some sort of...spiritual ritual. Like something the people in... Cosmo Canyon... would do...

[Wow, that brings back memories. Reno trails off for a bit before returning.]

Probably should let them do it or this might all be for nothing. [Or whatever. Like he cared.]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Right or wrong, speed is of the essence! At least, that's what Curufin would say. ]

So, you think that the spiritual part might matter, since the beacon part wouldn't work in a cave?

[theturksway]

Aw, the hell do I know! This ain't my cup of tea! I'm just sayin'--we're in a cave where a ceremony is supposed to take place and that's what we're trying to clear it out for.

[Have a loud whack that leads into the sound of a shell cracking right here.]

We can't do anything useful until this damn place is cleared of crabs anyway!

[laurefindil]

At least...[thump] We got the sharkbears dealt with, though [thump] we are going to need to move the one! [thump]

We could ring the plinth so the crabs [thump] don't bother the priests.

[theturksway]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I got... [The SCA cuts off mid way through the conversation as Reno and Glor are in the same chamber and it's just as easy to yell at him across the room as it is talk on the damn watch.]
