[When a voice comes over the device, its tone is stern and mildly demanding.]

I've had quite enough of all this doom and gloom.

We are having a meeting. The Thesa Station, before the latest patch of unfortunate souls join us. I'm preparing a room for all of us, and by the bloody Maker you all are going to join me. Bring something to write with, because I will implore you to take notes. If you can't make it, I'll just assume you'll listen to my soothing voice over these devices anyway.

[With a click, it almost ends there—but Dorian quickly resumes the stream.]

... Also, if anyone with the strength to lift a few kegs, chairs, and other heavy objects would join me beforehand, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, perhaps, someone who can work a stove. And... also someone with more technical know-how than I—I am quite necessary in this equation, rest assured, but it would make things much easier. Cheers.

[And, finally, it ends there.]

A meeting, or a "meeting"?

[ a pause. ]

What's the topic? And you don't expect us all do just listen to your voice, do you, Dorian?

[ he's teasing, of course. but he has his own... thoughts on things. ]

If by "meeting" you mean a party of some sort, I assure you, this isn't going to be an affair where I start shouting and throwing up on people's shoes. As much as I'd like to. Perhaps if it goes wrong.

The topic will our usefulness to one another, or complete lack thereof. There's no point in having this connection, this—these occurrences where we all wind up in the same place as one another if we don't utilize it.

[shashka]

Too bad.

[ as to the rest of it... ]

Are you proposing a more formal information network? I'd be happy to help if you need it. Get a few people that your handsome face might otherwise not be able to reach.

[flashystyle]

My handsome face is always available to anyone that requires it. It's just that people don't know that.

[The flattery has him sounding a bit more at ease, but still as stern as ever.]

That is what I'm proposing, yes. Keeping tabs. Ensuring this fucking disaster doesn't happen so easily next time. Bringing things to this world that can not only be enlightening, but protect us.

[shashka]

You'll need people who actually know what they're doing for that.

[ not that he's implying he's one... ok no he's totally one. ]

We've got these phones to keep in contact to begin with. Do you think we'd need something a little more sophisticated?

[flashystyle]

Of course we need a more sophisticated system, Ocelot. These phones did absolutely nothing for us when we all had to go off and play the hero. We need back-up plans. We need systems in place that we can rely on other than panic and disorder.

[shashka]

what's your immediate solution? Back home, we had tracking devices. Let them keep track of people's locations. [ but that raises the question of privacy, and he doesn't much like the idea of being tracked 24/7. ] We'd need someone who is good with tech, unless your... [ ugh... ] magic whip something like that up.
