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.

Anulux batteries can last decades to over a century, depenin' on how hard you work 'em. They get used for big ships an' machine-heavy buildin's that you don't want the power to give out on.

[Look, sometimes you buy something from the shop because you realize you can.]

Anyway, it'd last 'em until they worked out some other way to run things. We're just gonna need supplies. Like wire. Wire's pretty standard for places that got jewelers or some kinds of armor but I might gotta see who can help scrounge some up.

[wewillwewill]

Alright. I'll talk to my colleague about the wire if the people you know can't come up with another solution. Even if the natives have wire it might not be of the correct thickness or metal.

[Jewelers might also only have a small supply of anything thick enough for an electric current and hardly the amount they'd need even for an example fence for the natives to later use as an example to build others. Though isn't it odd he's not simply doing it himself? It's not exactly a secret what he can normally do.]

I'll speak with him now so he'll be ready if they have need. Pray inform me or have the technicians get in contact to let us know the requirements they'll have. I imagine it'll be more than simply wires.

[You know, converters, resistors, and so forth to harness the power of that battery!]

[yondu]

[Luckily he's got an egghead with an arms band full of salvaged tech and one with some capsule corp storage, so at least there's a start on what would be needed. He'll be happy to take anything at this point, though. They're also familiar with visitor tech in this world, so maybe there's something salvageable out there, too. He'll ask around when he has the chance.]

[The joy of being on a crew with a bunch of smart fools that could build a complicated machine in a cave.]

Yeah, I figure if we get the wire, get the right builders, have these few days? We could slap somethin' simple together an' leave 'em directions. At least until the Ministry decides some more firm involvement or somethin'. Who knows, maybe they'll use the battery for somethin' bigger one day.

[He kind of hopes they do. It'd be a good 'up yours' to the stuck up types what developed it. As for Elidibus not making anything? Well, he's not gonna pressure the guy. He don't know how magic works. Could be an embarrassing thing to ask in public if a guy's not been up for making lately. It very well could be a private kind of thing and this is a casual emergency as far as issues go, so no pressure.]

[wewillwewill]

[Elidibus would certainly appreciate that not-prying.]

I'll also ask a few of the natives I've met to meet with you about learning the right skills. I believe they will be able to pick up the technology quickly and would spread it to the other communities.

[The Ascian does have a habit of looking for potential talent.]

That's all I have to say for now. I'll stop by soon along with any volunteers that can be spared. If I have to move on before you get in touch about the wire, my comrade will be able to get to you swiftly enough. Is there anything else you'd like to add?

[yondu]

Nah, I think that covers it. Other'n plowin' out some deep ditches in problem areas an' addin' in some spike traps or cow traps where they'd work best, I think that's about the best the people I scrounged up can manage in a few days time. I'm doin' my level best to be strategic with it.

[wewillwewill]

Good. If you like, when I get there I'll look over it as well.

[Well two minds going over strategy couldn't be bad.]

I'll see you soon.
