Huntress crew is okay!

Edna's fine, right?

[rockily]

all of you? how is your ship?

aye, she's fine. we took damage but we remain afloat.

[airily]

We're fine. I checked in with Edna.

[monolike]

Took a beating, but life support is okay. I'm working on the engines now.

...it's a miracle you guys didn't go down

text

[rockily]

it's a miracle the entire fleet didn't go down.

but i've sailed through worse waters.

[rockily]

[ And you didn't think to check in with him? Dammit Zaveid. ]

she didn't tell me. i'm glad to hear you're okay regardless.

[airily]

[ Well. Yeah. Baby steps. ]

We've been trying to figure out a better way to get to the people on the ground. Not got there yet.

[searingedgelord]

The Red Fish is okay. You?

[humene]

Wonderduck reporting in. We've taken some damage, but we're still in drift.

How are you and Edna?

As the others have said, we're good. Glad you're alright.

We're still gathering intel, but some reports have managed to pass to and from the planet both directly and via the network. I'm hoping we can coordinate something to prevent this from happening again. Those weapons make it trickier than I'd like.

Whoever sent those dreams of the exploding planet sent a dream of this as well- remember the second one that was going around? People being hunted on a planet like this? We should have seen this coming.

[monolike]

Well, I'm really glad you're okay.

Alisha, though, she [Eizen barely knows her, Sorey knows, and she hadn't been there when they'd faced his dragon form but he should still let him know.]

She's my Squire, the one at the meeting? Her ship went down.

[uwannagobro]

uncomfortably sober, sitting in some kind of thorny bush

bright side, i swiped a new machete

dark side, they make awful swords

[rockily]

you're on the planet?

[ WHAT THE FUCK ROKUROU. ]

[rockily]

then we have to find a way to disable those weapons. if we can't do it from up here maybe those trapped on the planet can.

[ If they can do that then maybe the rest of them can mount a rescue. ]

dreams like that, they don't always play out the way you see them. even if we had paid it attention who can say whether it would stopped so many of us from falling.

[rockily]

it's good to hear from you, eleanor.

we're fine. our ship took some damage but we still floating.

[rockily]

still afloat. in need of repairs like so many others.

[rockily]

we need to disable the weapons they used to shoot them down, or send a smaller ship that could slip past their defenses.

keep me informed. rokurou is down there, that idiot can take care of himself but i don't leave one of my own stranded.

[rockily]

[ He remembers her from the meeting, from the calibrations. She looked as though she could defend herself, even so... ]

we'll get her back, sorey. we'll get all of them back.

[humene]

And I'm glad to hear the two of you are okay.

Have you heard from the others?

[uwannagobro]

yeah

[ No big deal. ]

[rockily]

we've been through worse.

aye, the shepherd's ship is mostly okay although alisha's ship was shot down. as did rokurou's.

[rockily]

[ Firstly, how dare you be down there without him. Secondly, just dammit Rokurou. ]

stop sitting in a thorny bush.

the locals giving you any trouble?

[searingedgelord]

Good. You heard from the others yet?

[uwannagobro]

it keeps the locals off my back

theyre not all that friendly but id be lying if i said i wasnt enjoying this

[ There's a moment of pause in his texting as he considers that this is the first communication he's actively engaged in over the comms. Something like an itch of obligation... ]

i should probably tell my ship im okay huh

text

[monolike]

Yeah

Yeah you're right. We'll be preparing a package to go down to the surface soon. Let me know if you get in contact with any of your friends, I can program additional dropoff coordinates.
