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. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

Give your thread a day and rough timestamp. Replies to a top level should be in one thread unless you switch to speak to individual (and make a thread under that heading.)

Poi 8, about an hour after arrival

[kumoko]

Special Support Spider here. Ah, can the squads put their armbands back on, please...

[controlsthedie]

I never got one.

[ Mort squeaks that he never got one either despite the fact that he can't be understood and only recently started to move. Also he doesn't really have a healing ability unless he yeets a potion at someone. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

Oh!

[Yeah, he'd completely forgotten that was a thing, namely because it didn't work with Miss Spider gone. There's a few moments of rustling, and then:]

It's on. I'm here if you need me.

[stonefvced]

Kumo, I have something for you.

[blitzcheer]

Haven't got rusty, have you? Sounds like there'll be good reason to jump around if we're splitting camps!

[ hey spider heeyyyy. Is Tidus just happy to hear their socially awkward Spider?? Yes. ]

Poi 8, also not long after arrival

[asheaveniswide]

There are no viable Hunt Marks on this world that are worth diverting for. Mayhap the next world.

poi 10

[flatteries]

Be careful if you've found yourself into one of the war situations. There's at least one right now where the warriors won't die, no matter what you do. Even if you get them right through the chest, they'll just get right back up.

Make sure to only head in there with a good team, so the person with the equaliser can be protected well, considering you can only hold them off, rather than get rid of the threat. It's also.. not entirely pleasant to look at.

[ As one can image. ]

If anyone is going in and needs someone with expertise to help out, call me over. Or let me know if you have any questions.

[fivemilesdeep]

[He goes back and forth on what question to ask. He wants to ask if Inigo is okay, but he's pretty sure the answer to that is no - dealing with revenants, even if they're not quite dead, does not sound good. And Inigo has been worryingly focused this entire mission...]

[But that might not be appreciated right now. Practicality, however...]

What happens if you take their heads off? Does that stop them?

[blitzcheer]

[ Shit did this get real dark real fast- ]

We've got some extra gear from the supplies that can help with protectin' and barriers. If anyone can spare five minutes, I'll show how to use the manadrives that can put up shielding on people - and if you wanna take a shield that'll make a wall between you and anything coming to you, come and see me.

[ Ah- ] Leia, Ryo? Can I leave some of the supplies with you too? Inigo, lemme leave some with you - you know how the manadrives work.

One of the Wangjis was making talismans too. The better we can protect people setting up equalisers, the quicker we can shut down the crazy!

Poi 11, early hours

[dyingpro]

Gods damn you-!

[There's a grunt, and a flash of steel, and then there's Zagreus, soaked in blood that's not his own, tinged with that blessed-magic. A horrible moving corpse is on the ground, still moving but pinned beneath Zagreus' sword. Zagreus looks pissed, his emerald and ruby eyes glinting with a fury that is barely contained. The usually soft-spoken God speaks in clipped sentences, partly breathy from the sudden action, but mostly that anger.]

Everyone, this is Zagreus. I think these-- monsters, are after those of us who have powers related to the missing or weakened Gods. Death, Weather, Time, maybe Summer and Growth and Life also. One of these wretched things was attacking someone else before they saw me, and ignored them to come after me instead.

[The being tries to rise with a groan but Stygius is still firmly embedded in its stomach, pinning it to the ground.] We've got to get out of the camps. Anyone who draws the attention of thesr things, we have to leave to protect everyone else. We could deal with the restless refugees before, but this is too much.

[The undead finally stills, and Zagreus waits a moment before removing his cherished blade from the thing's chest. After a huff, he continues.] I've taken a medical kit, some basic dry foods, and a scouting drone. I scouted out a location away from most of the camps this afternoon, I'll leave a pin on its location here. We may have to deal with a time thing when we get there, hence the drone.

I've invited some of the Ministry representatives to join us also, but I wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to come into the middle of a swarm of these things. They used to be people. They-- they used to be people, her people--

[There's a moment where Zagreus grits his teeth, holding back his childish impulse to swear at the situation that, inevitably, he's caused. But he knows the bandage fixes of the Ministry, as helpful as they've been, won't stop the damage done to this world. He knows this is the only way they'll save this world in the grand scheme of things. He'll apologize to everyone later, not when he's in the middle of a dnagerous situation.]

I cannot - I will not - let Kolokifi get away with this. She's denying these people, her followers their eternal rest, and she's damned this world just like mine is damned! This has to stop--

[Another snarl of a walking corpse cuts Zagreus short, and once still forms begin to rise again. The feed cuts. The pin to the neutral location is still there, though, should anyone want to try and meet up with him.]

[myninjainfocard]

[Normally, normally he wouldn't disagree with such a statement. But there's one problem he's immediately going to address here and keep it short and simple.]

And what if those among them are also healers. I can fend off any that try to come for me, but staying outside of the area while this continues on or for the rest of this nonsense seems impractical.

[ballseeker]

Somehow I doubt you're going to get a rapid response from officials when it comes to being on a battlefield, Zagreus. [ She's not saying they're cowards.. but she might be saying that they're cowards. Or at the very least, very likely a sheltered type that might hesitate to come out in the field like this when it comes down to ... well. Living dead trying to attack people. It goes without saying that Bulma herself would be securely on the train without Vegeta or Trunks being out and about, but that's not the point. ]

At any rate, what makes you so sure it's related to powers? I'm not doubting you, just ... I'm curious.

I wonder if it's also something related to the fact that people like us, from the train, may just be different in some way to these undead. Energy or .. something.

[ A scientist who's had way too many run ins with things that are definitely hard to explain : the life of Bulma. And... she wants to be able to warn Vegeta or Trunks, if they haven't already seen this. ]

audio + interrupting badass Mort

[controlsthedie]

Blood and darkness!

[ It's never good when someone starts a message with essentially the same tone as "God fucking damnit!" In the background, Mort is squeaking angrily and probably sharing similar sentiments. ]

I'm already distancing myself from the camps. They want me, and they won't stay down no matter what I do.

[ And he is Death Incarnate. That says a lot. There is a sharp intake of breath as something steals away Thanatos's attention. What follows is the fiercest battle cry of a squeak and a roar of pain. ]

M-Mort! Where did you--when did you get that--Forget it. Thank you.

[ Thanatos doesn't know how much of this he caused, but he probably did with his contact with Merios (and Herios?). It's also damn obvious that he will be heading towards Zagreus because where else will he ultimately go? ]

These wretches should have died to their rest long ago. This... This isn't life. Why would anyone damn their own world to this? To suffer for eternity?

[seacub]

I. Um. Noticed...

[Emporio's voice sounds especially small. Possibly because he woke up to his Stand doing some Impressive Damage to an attacker.]

....I...I don't know if I should just walk off though...

[yondu]

[So that's what crawled up everyone's ass. Welp, good to know.]

I'm gonna get out there an' try to put down another equalizer, maybe expand the area we can still fight in without causing a goddamn timefart and then get the hell... somewhere.

[Maybe to the pinned location, maybe somewhere else. He doesn't know. He's not decided yet. But a Ravager never flies solo, so he might try to grab someone along the way.]

Gonna head out.

[dragoonrouge]

Ah. Well that would explain a few things.

[The plant-zombies behind Q'uila seem to be pounding against a wall of crystalline light as she answers with her ears pinned back.]

Bloody Hydaelyn. The poor buggers tried to rush me regardless of anything else.

[Her ears twitch as a crack splinters in the temporary shield.]

I shall head to that location with all haste, the last thing we need is them flooding through the camps and catching everyone in the crossfire.

Poi 11, early hours

[springforth]

[There's the sound of wind around her as Persephone responds. Her voice sounds strained]

I can confirm that Growth and Nature are indeed--uh, what's the word. Powers of Interest. I'm also Spring, just like Eilifi, so--you know. [She sound so tired]

[another_moon]

...dammit. Then, they're after me, too. I rarely use them, but I control some of that myself.

[There's a battle cry as she attacks another zombie.]

Then, I'll be there. Kyoko, if you're hearing this, I'm on the move. Your choice on what you do; I know I can't tell you where to go.

Poi 11; Lunchtime

[voidtreckernpcs]

[ There comes a message, but not through the usual SCA channel: there's a beeping from the map, and pressing the button that's appeared ('CALL') will bring up the familiar voice of the masculine-coded man back in the Ministry base. ]

Hey, Zagreus told us what you lot are trying to do out there. Escalated quick, but you've got those Gods, so, not surprising. [ They sound relaxed despite the urgency some others may be feeling. ]

Alright. If any of your people need to get out of there, you can come to the temple or go to your voidcraft. This isn't us telling you what to do, but we know you've got no one above you looking out, so this is just for the folk who need a hand.

Speaking of, come and grab some more equalisers. You're gonna want to put some up, but they have a cool-down after a while. But if we work and close those distortions poppin' up more, you'll stop some of the flow of what's coming out. If you're thinkin' of just leaving them open 'cause a few stragglers is better than the distorted time, ain't a good idea unless you've got some plan for what happens next.

--Oh yeah. If you know how to use a gun, a blaster, whatever you people know, we've got a few for dealin' with time displaced people. Y'know, for the zombies. Er, whatever's respectful for you people. Shit, nevermind... [ There's a grumbling, but it's hard to make out. ]

Anyway, know you'd rather be praying for yourselves, but if any of you wanna help in a small way, praying for Eilifi, Silifi, and Merios will do some good. Even just talking at them or however prayers work. Mine are never good. But it's gonna get shitty for 'em before this gets any better.

Alright, this line'll be open for a while 'til I have to move out. Just talk at the map - I'll hear. You need me at any time, you can hit the call button on the map since I'll be on the field.

[fivemilesdeep]

Do you have anything that can start a fire? A very fast, very hot one?

[flatteries]

Is there something causing this?

[ Inigo asks it so impulsively that it takes him a moment before he realises that he should probably clarify what 'this' is. ]

The displaced people starting to act like this. Is it some natural side effect of this entire process? [ Because they can't go on like this. It's like fighting a war on two fronts. Impossible. At least if there's some cause, maybe they can take that out, so camp can be safe again. ]

Poi 11 : Some time after lunch.

[stonefvced]

Requesting aid at the camps for anyone left or still trapped here. It has been noted we can seek shelter at the temple or the craft. I can generate a barrier to keep anymore incoming, out. We'll need to move quick.

I need the following:
- Handful of fighters to temporarily disengage the enemy within the barrier.
- Handful of people ready to extract friendlies to either of these places or wherever they wish to go.

I have talisman at the ready if you need aid in transport from within to outside the barrier. They're set to either the temple or the craft but I don't have time to separate them so what you get is what you get.

[crowneddragon]

I'm up t' help out anyone trapped. I can fight too 'f there's a need. Just tell me where t' be an' I'll be there.

[Please, Esteban is desperate to help, but he just does not know where to go.]

Poi 13, after the battle ends

[fivemilesdeep]

[The battle and its fallout were visible - and audible - from the camps. There's no way everyone came out of that unscathed. And the train is on world, so...]

Healers and medics - we need people here at the camp closest to the battle, but we'll also need the triage car set up. Who's staying in camp and who's going back to the train?

And everyone else - if you can walk, there will be healers at the camp closest to where the fight was. If you can't, evacuate; there'll be someone to help you in triage.

[Even if he has to go himself. He's not the only healer here - there'll be coverage of both spaces, right?]
