Right - right is this thing on? Oh good. Good good.

[Ahemming. Ahem hem hem.]

Greetings, fellow ...Fleeters. I have come up with a list of supplies which need to be sent to the surface, and am starting to put together such supplies so we can get them down to our poor compatriots. I understand that Victor is also getting messages to go down as well - and I know we have vocal communications, but it is Important To Moral that our people know we are thinking of them! So, I am going to start a ... a text round, and feel free to add on your messages!

As for us, we are all doing a splendid job staying alive and not crashing down into the surface to be eaten by wild beasts! So well done us!

[Excellent. Encouragement Given.]

Right, sally forth, all.

[Text]
Do not fear, friends! Instead please eat, rest, and repair the ships with these carefully cataloged supplies that I have written out the full list of what they are, what quantity, and where they should go.

We are with you in spirit, and hopefully soon in the flesh!

Well. Except for those of us who are clocks. Or candlesticks. Or robots. You know what I mean.

[Amused, still working on the systems.]

I'd say I'd rather they be up here with us than the reverse.

[Cogsworth cleared his throat.]

Yes, well. We do what we can for our people, do we not?

I have discovered the locations of the Vieziri bases.

What resources can those in orbit spare for a planetside attack? And do you have a record of where all the crashed ships are located?

Re: Text

[timelysteward]

... What? What? OH MY GOD that is incredible!

We are getting our weapons - er - on-the-line. However we're trying to get everyone repaired.

[whatisright]

Repairs would be significantly easier without hunters attempting to eat us, and I am unsure how effective an assault from above will be. They have proven they are more than capable of defending themselves from ships.

But an aerial assault can be a distraction to enable a ground assault, if you believe you can repair your weapons and avoid being shot down. What do you know of the other wrecks? Where they all are, how many injuries they may have, and how equipped are they? Once we know these things, we can make a plan.

Re: Text

[timelysteward]

I know the others are sending down weaponry - melee based.

All right so ... there are at least seven ships downed on the planet and seven in the air.

[whatisright]

Blue Fish, Tourist, Bishop, Bloodsport, Goldstone, Heron, and Twin Roses were all confirmed to have crashed before I came down to the planet's surface in a shuttle. I know the location of Blue Fish and Tourist. I have not seen the others.

[timelysteward]

Er let me find the right slip of paper here ... ah haha! Red Fish, Wonderduck, First Breath, Caprine, Blameless, Vanquish, and Starkstruck are still in the air.

Text

[whatisright]

What condition are they in?

Re: Text

[timelysteward]

Most are in a state of repair - although some are done now and are simply preparing themselves to attack the surface. Those were the ships with the better shielding.

[samahl]

You're as sweet and thoughtful as ever, Captain.

[This may also be Cyril's way of letting Cogsworth know he's all right.]

Re: text

[timelysteward]

OH CYRIL you are all right we were so worried.


[See how worried he was?]

[samahl]

I am! At least for the moment, I am only missing the pieces I was already missing before the crash.

[timelysteward]

Oh dear yes you were missing your arm, were you not? I hope we can get that replaced for you sooner rather than later.

[samahl]

Hopefully, in the meantime, we need to find a way off this world.

[timelysteward]

We are working on that right now! Unfortunately England went to sleep so we are down ... quite a few defenses and a pilot, but we can at least point the ship in the right direction to pick you all up.

[samahl]

It would be very reassuring to see your face again.

[timelysteward]

[SO MUCH PUFFING.]

I assure you, you will see me again! I will not leave you in despair upon that wretched planet!

[samahl]

That is also very comforting.

I would like to try to help the people who live here first, though. Hopefully we can defeat these monsters and free them from the constant terror.

[timelysteward]

[Tick-tock heart fluttering..]

You are truly a noble soul, Cyril.

[samahl]

I only wish to leave this world better than we found it.

[timelysteward]

I am fairly certain that if we rid it of most of the murderous lizards, that will make it considerably better.

[samahl]

Yes, and if we can accomplish that, I'll be able to sleep soundly once I'm back on the Wonderduck.

[timelysteward]

Which as your Captain is my highest priority.

[samahl]

How is the rest of the crew?

[timelysteward]

Aaaaaaaaah we are a little ... frayed, but that is because it is three of us trying to run this ship so. Yes.

[samahl]

I can't wait to be back and help you get things back in order.

[timelysteward]

I cannot wait until you are back as well! Please hurry!

[samahl]

The thought that you miss seeing me makes me wish to hurry even more.

[timelysteward]

OH pish-posh you make me blush.

[And, he did.]

[samahl]

By speaking with honesty>

[timelysteward]

Yes well. Honesty. So. Yes. I shall be really pleased to spend more time with you yes.

[samahl]

It's a date then. Some time once I'm back with the Wonderduck.

[timelysteward]

Oh good! I cannot wait to see you again! Mostly because I want you alive and well, and some because I just ... selfishly do.

[samahl]

And I do like being selfishly wanted.

[timelysteward]

Well ... yes. I suppose that is true, isn't it?

[samahl]

I hope I'm being obvious about it. Otherwise I'd have to try harder.

[timelysteward]

Oh no you don't have to try harder! I mean, I. I appreciate your efforts immensely.

[samahl]

You appreciate that I like letting you take care of me? Shouldn't that be the other way around? You're the one doing the taking care part, after all.

And I do appreciate it. Immeasurably.
