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.

End of Hour Three

[voidtreckernpcs]

Hey guys. It’s me. Um Anan I mean. [There’s some frantic beeping in the background, Chiff sounds as enthusiastic as ever, even if Anan sounds a lot more subdued than she usually does.]

I know everyone’s already doing so much and are really busy but I could do with some help and wondered if I could have a couple of volunteers. Um… I’ve told a couple of you before that I was born in space on a ship. My family have always lived in space. I mean generations ago they severed all connections to planets, gave up citizenship to live among the stars, it was a protest movement which turned into a culture all of its own. We work on space ships for the most part, though some work on space stations or even on planets- especially the younger ones.

I’m rambling. Anyways most of ‘em will be fine, they will be evacuated with their ships or wherever they are working. But there’s a place. An old space station, mostly retired folks and kids whose parents jobs won’t let them have kids with ‘em. It’s completely off grid, the ungrounded are very suspicious of government, the ministry, anything like that. They won’t have heard the broadcast- but it’s not too far away. I’ve managed to borrow a space ship and the ministry have given me some tethering kits but I could do with some extra hands.

I’m at the main hub in Irue Grotto and I’ll me setting off in the next half hour.

[dyingpro]

Oh Gods, Anan, it's so good to hear from you. How's your crew? Jin-roh and Malin and them.

I'm headed your way right now. You can count on me.

... what are we doing with the cryopods? Are we putting them on your borrowed ship and hoping for the best? Or are they staying planetside, too?

[voidtreckernpcs]

They are... Jin-Roh has gone to help his family, they live her on Osiga but quite far out. Malin and the others are helping in Irue.

I've just got the portable kits, no cryopods.

[dyingpro]

So what are we doing with their physical forms? Surely we're not just leaving them there...?

[Leaving the native Osigans' bodies in the cryopods was hard enough for Zagreus to deal with. Now this? It just seems so degrading to leave them out like that.]

I'll be there in a moment. I've got some supplies with me, in case there are some Osigans that refuse to be tethered... but I'm not sure trail rations and fresh water will do much to help combat the world eaters.

Re: End of Hour Three

[tactlesstantei]

Anan, there you are! I was wondering if you were around, since this is your system.

Anyway, I'll come help. I can help calm people if needed, and can help get people tethered up.

Re: End of Hour Three

[voidtreckernpcs]

Yes, it's... lucky I guess. We only got returned back two days ago from out latest mission. Calming would be good. Everyone is...

[She sounds like she's struggling to keep calm herself.]

[tactlesstantei]

Alright, I'll be there soon. We'll make sure everyone's tethered.

[A pause.]

...And I'm sorry about what's happening here. [She really wishes the impending destruction could be stopped.]

Re: End of Hour Three

[averyusefultray]

Those sound like the sort of people I deal with regularly at home. [Probably why she's taken quite a while to warm to the Ministry, but a mission like this is pretty clear cut]

I might be able to talk to them on their terms.

[voidtreckernpcs]

You do? That would be helpful. I'm hoping they'll listen to me but... Who knows.

[motherofresistance]

I'm on my way back in from one of the villages now; I'll be there to join you shortly. I should be able to help with both calming and convincing people.

[How a space station can be 'off grid', Leia isn't sure, but she'll take Anan's word for it.]

In the meantime... it's a relief to hear from you. As much as anything can be a relief at a time like this, anyway. Is your crew all alright?

[voidtreckernpcs]

Thank you Leia. [It's good to hear her voice. Any of their voices. She's trying not to think too hard about what them being here means.]

Yes. We only got back from out latest mission a couple of days ago but they are alright. They are helping evacuate people.

Start of mission

[tactlesstantei]

Alright everyone, seems obvious but please keep your SCAs on for the whole mission. I don't want to find out what happens if someone has their SCA off when the world eaters come.

[There is a handy countdown and Masumi's hopeful her message isn't needed, but you never know.]

Hour One-ish

[controlsthedie]

I set up a transgate at the station. Others are being connected to it, and I will have one with me as I shift from place to place. Let me know where you are and where you want to go, and I can help.

Does anyone know how we make contact with the goddess Neran? We have to make sure she is able to leave as well.

[ Don't tell him a god will be fine or should not be worried about because he is nothing but examples of how a god is not fine when the natural order is so greatly disrupted. And all of you worry enough about him. ]

[flatteries]

[ Hey, Inigo won't question this one. Hence why he bothers to reply. ]

Usually there's specific places to get in contact with a god. I'm not sure if they have those here, but they should stand out - or maybe we could ask people about it. I remember seeing shrine-like things last time we were here, but maybe those were just temporarily there for the festival.

[controlsthedie]

[ Inigo, he appreciates the support. ]

I'm roughly familiar with the kinds of temples the Olympians have, but I didn't notice anything of the sort here.

[ But being Death in a festival about the dead was awkward enough that he could have easily missed them. ]

[unrecovered]

I can't help you with the goddess, but thanks for doing the transgate network. Any idea where the rest are being set up?

[controlsthedie]

The hospital and zoo are two possible locations. They'll probably need faster transportation there.

Hour One

[fivemilesdeep]

We've set up a meeting point near the tethering stations in the grotto - the sign isn't very big, but there's a Ministry employee there in a bright pink hat, and she's agreed to stay there. If you find someone who got separated, or a group that's missing someone, send them there and spread the word.

[He's basically set up a Lost Child meeting point, but with all the chaos happening, they may well need it.]

Hi, Ryo! It's your favorite guy!

[wewillwewill]

I'll be traveling among the outlying regions. If I find stray children I will teleport them directly. Though given the emergency I don't wish to cause alarm among the other lost. Can you recommend a place near the meeting point that can be watched?

[Well, Ryo's seen Elidibus's method of teleportation before. Sure there'll be more 'static' gates opening as the hour goes on. But given the crisis, it's probably understandable he's taking precaution.]

Ryo isn't happy but I laughed

[fivemilesdeep]

If you find stray children in outlying regions, make sure their families haven't moved on first!

[Other questions can be answered later - not accidentally further separating a kid from their family by dozens or hundreds of miles is a bit more important.]

Hour Four

[monkeyinthewrench]

And here comes the final countdown. Time for an awesome montage with the best music in action movies, terrible right now. Everybody's ready to press evacuate, right? No one saw anyone take their SCA off?

I'm back at the station trying to herd arrivals, if anyone's still sending people back here.

Talk to Team

[voidtreckermods]

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

Note that you only have the option to speak to your own team here and all of those designated that team (no matter what mission they are on) can hear. (So for example a message to purple will go to all of purple even the member of purple who is currently working with blue. Likewise that message to purple will not reach those of red who are helping out and working with purple.)

Talk to Individual

[voidtreckermods]

Specify individual (remember names will be those on the passenger roster) and give the thread a day.
