[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.]

What? The promise of my illustrious company isn't enough for everyone? I'm shocked and appalled by the public, my dear. Shocked and appalled. You all are animals.

No, I understand, but I thought it was rather clear of why we need to meet. The things that happen to us in particular can be prevented. We have the means, and we do not openly discuss them. It's about time that we do.

I don't disagree. What specifically are you proposing? I doubt anyone will be too keen on adding fuel to the fire on the planet.

And they're right to be wary of it, after that grand old mess of a time we've just had. I'm not asking that anyone start bringing forth ideas that would do more harm, like your Earth people and there fascination with firearms. Discretion is still key.

Think more of the organization of skills we can utilize. Can anyone from the future build a spaceship, if given the means? I don't know, we haven't asked. Does anyone know how to create a device that can track one another, when our mysterious saviors won't step in? I don't know, we haven't asked! Is that more clear?

[ Excuse you, Dorian. She's a damn good shot and sparing with them on this planet. But your point is aptly made. ]

Quite clear. Discretion certainly is the order of the day; God forbid the governments of either city suspect their refugees are banding together. [ She amends, ] I'm aware that's not what you mean. It's a good idea. But they're clearly looking for any excuse to lash out.
