Who: Fie Claussell & You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On Planet and/or Iskaulit
When: September 17th, early afternoon

[Since the news of impending doom's spread, Fleeters are doing their best (or okayest) to get citizens off the planet, and Fie's doing some work of her own. A random planet dweller here or there is fine, but her focus is mostly elsewhere. Since she's limited in her abilities right now--thanks lack of ARCUS quartz-- she sticks to what she can deal with well: plants.

Anyone on the planet or aboard the Iskaulit for a period of extended time, might notice Fie popping in and out with different bundles of supplies each time. Eventually, on the planet, she stops to sit somewhere (hopefully) out of the way to address her concerns.]

I've gathered as many plant samples and seeds as I can find for now, and I've temorarily set them up on the garden on the Iskaulit. From what I saw of the farming here, we could likely set it up on a few of the bigger ships, but the machine parts are sizable-- too big for several normal humans to carry comfortably. Maybe disassembling it would be easier...

Is anyone free to help with that? Or are people already focused on it? If there's something organized already, I want to help.

Tell me where you need me to go, Fie. [ He's not messing around, for once. Sometimes even Zaveid can be serious. ] Sorey doesn't need me right now.

Pretty good. [Kaworu says this quite companionably, although he says most things that way. There's an awful lot of noise in his background, mostly a youthful-sounding clamor, but he's as pristine and chill as ever. Or, very nearly as ever.] And disassembly might be pretty good, too. If I can stop by, I might be able to lend a hand with that.

Mm, all the farms are farther out, but for now, I'm at a few clumped together off the west side of our docking area. [She sends him coordinates over the comm, followed by a quick after thought:] Thanks, Gramps.

I'd appreciate it. I'm not good at organizing stuff like this, but I figured I'd try until someone else can take over. Let me know when or if you're able, and I'll send you coordinates.

[Fie trails off a moment, then asks:] You're doing okay, right?

[Because friend.]

Sure. I can't promise too much, but Ol' Zaveid is still kicking. [ He's a Seraph, he's a touch hardier sometimes. ] That the only thing that needs doing?

[Gently,] Send me the coordinates, Fie. I'll make sure to come for you. [It sounds a little indulgent, but he's shifted into a mode of being indulgent like that... Honestly, he's sounded this whole time like he's reading a bed time story.]

But, I'm doing okay. Better of the heart, now, knowing that you're trying. That's the best sort of thing, so I'm happy to hear about it. [He pauses, then says, with the softness and sturdiness of swaddling clothes,] Yes, yes. [He probably isn't saying it at Fie; his mouth is angled away from his communicator, and more distantly, there's the crowing of someone who sounds young. But then:] I hope it's good—the feeling of trying.

[Maybe... not the time for a philosophical discussion...?! But he sounds more encouraging than wheedling, as if, perhaps, he just wants to tell her about that hope of his.]

[Too big for normal humans to carry? Sounds like a job for... gravity!]

Heh. Not only would disassembling it be a hassle, it would also be completely unnecessary work.

Definitely not, but it's what I'm focusing on right now. [He can hear a huff from her.]

As far as I know, we need to get these machines or parts back to the city so they can be loaded on to the ships. People there should know how to put them back together once they're off the planet.

Thanks. [And they're sent.]

Dunno, I'll have time to think about that once this is all taken care of. I just know that my friends back home would do the same thing, feeling it's right.

[She pauses lightly, breathing more steadily. Someone was catching her breath.]

Most of them would be better at it, but I've learned a lot with and from them. It'll be okay. [It's a message both for him and herself.]

Bring a shuttle with you, if you can. I've got one from the Wonderduck, but it's smaller and can't carry some of the bigger pieces.

[-!! Chuuya will be met with her somewhat alarmed expression upon receiving his response. She honestly wasn't expecting a reply from him, so excuse her disbelief.]

Huh? Are you-- You're offering to help with this?

If you don't have the power needed for the situation, then you need someone who can do it.

[Points at himself.]

And I can do anything with gravity.

[Fie gives a small 'heh' before nodding and sending coordinates.]

Thanks, Chuuya. I mean it.

Ah- if you need help carrying heavy equipment, I can help! Anything around 3 tonnes is fine.

So we get them from one place to another then leave them for the locals to figure out? [ Sounds like an easy job. ] How much stuff are we talking?

[Oh hey! He remembers Ochako and her ability that is the very best.]

Are you interested in seeing what two people who can control gravity can do together?

[Seeing as how she'd actually been caught in the Bishop waiting for a shuttle to finish recharging, Looma has time for a video response.]

How sizeable?

[Because guess who is not a Normal Human, or even two normal humans stacked up on top of each other!]

You're welcome! I'm always ready to take on tough jobs.

[Any moment of absolute appreciation from her is weird, but he'll take it.]

That's the quickest method for now. [Fie lets out a hum as she thinks about it.]

Judging from looking at one machine on one farm, maybe about ten large pieces per location at least? I'm no mechanic, so I could be off.

Good, you'll enjoy this one. Meet me there as soon as you can. Bring transportation.

[A wagon, shuttle. Whatever.]

You're the best. [Fie gives her a smile.]

Bring transportation-- something to haul the pieces-- if you can. Thanks.

[And location!]

Flirt later. We've got work to do.

[Is she serious? No one ever really knows.]

[Giant, four-armed woman asking this question? Fie likes her already.]

Depends on what you're looking for. Pretty sure there're some that'd make it worth the trip for you.

[omg!!]

oh, yes! That would be amazing! And I'm sure we could get a lot more done if we work together.

[scream]

Fie!!

[wow, she's smiling? she must really be worried.]

Thank you, too. I'm glad that there's something I can do to help.

Do you think a shuttle would be big enough? Or do we need some other vehicle?
