You are Not Alone: Comms

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

[There is no immediate answer from the other side after his confirmation, and after a minute, it seems that Esteban has moved on to do as he's said. His communication skills through the SCA leave much to be desired.

An hour later, there is a ping and a new location that drops onto the map. His voice is much, much quieter when he talks again.]

Amaya an' I are thinkin' at eight tonight. Gloomy 'nough that we should be stealthy. Good thing these guys have glowy lanterns on their heads. [There's an elevated lilt to his voice as he speaks, amusement that doesn't make it far, in case he's overheard or seen.]

We're gonna lure them to the end of the street, where the buildin's collapsed, an' try to blind the big guys. For the rest... we're gonna do our best to dodge.

[It's... a bit of a shaky plan. But it's a plan, and so long as the inhabitants are moved fast enough, they shouldn't be in the line of fire for more than a few minutes. An hour, tops! They can do that much!]

All right. I will be over then. Let the people know that if they wait in a line and move one after the other, they will go through faster. Everyone rushing at once will only slow things down.

[ Break the urge for mortals to fall into a mob mentality and crush each other in the process by setting the expectation early. ]

I will appear by the toll of a bell and very suddenly. I would appreciate no one opening fire upon me when I do. Death approaches but not for the usual reason.

[ Let's... warn them of that as well. ]

[What?! What?!? Esteban is confused at this casual comment, but he doesn't let it root him on the spot for too long. Whoever it is that is talking to him (he still doesn't know how to check), he will trust them. It's going to be okay.]

Bell toll, appearin' outta nowhere. Most of 'em have no weapons; so that's not goin' to be too hard.

[Hence, why moving them quietly was the preferred option.]

I'll let them know soon, so gimme a few minutes?

[It doesn't take him too long, before he nods (yet again, a useless gesture), and calls again.]

Alright. They're 'xpectin' you. Amaya an' I 're on our way. [A short pause. His voice rising in tone to something brighter.] An' hey! Thanks a bunch!

[controlsthedie]

Stay safe.

[ Once all the people are moved, Thanatos will give Esteban a quick update, let them follow through the transgate if desired, and then go back to doing what he was doing before Esteban called for aid. ]
