VOICE

[animusnpcs]

[Dax's voice can be heard, first muffled.]--is it on? Oh, good, we've got communications-- [He pauses, and shouts, obviously to someone else in the same area as him] Communications are up!

[There's another pause as he collects himself, and then his voice is calmer, more even-toned--though still worried.]

Okay, so I know things are kind of rough up there and we haven't really been able to do much. That attack damaged things down here, too, but we've got a lot of it back online and we're going to do what we can.

Since the dorms are gone, for the moment, we'll be moving revival to the infirmary for the moment. The room will be guarded by the retrieval units, so while it's not--foolproof, it and the floors below it are probably the safest places right now. The creatures are moving downward, but we have a plan--we just need time to repair one more thing down here before we can enact it.

Can you manage for another day?

is that why theres a shit ton of creepy crawlies in the tower itself?
just some kind of system glitch that goes with the attracting-monsters-thing?

[animusnpcs]

The system we use to pull all of you here occasionally pulls monsters along with it--accidentally reading the life signs as something to be rescued. I don't know the specifics of the system more than that.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

so its just something we gotta live with then
alright w/e
one more thing
anything we can do to help besides just holding down the fort?
gotta say its a lot easier to do shit hen youve got a plan instead of pointlessly mowing down monsters

[animusnpcs]

As many of you staying alive and healthy as possible is the best thing you can do for us at the moment, alongside staying in the lower levels as much as possible.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

oh!
us staying alive and notdead must be easier on your power resources isnt it?
cause then you dont gotta waste power to res us
not that i like being dead but
shouldnt you worry more about stopping this bullshit so you can revive the dead guys later?

[animusnpcs]

We're doing our best, which is why we delayed revival until today. It's only now we have the extra resources.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

k fair enough
but the minute this is cleared up i expect a party to celebrate the end of a species
hallelujah its fucking gone
but ill let you get back to whatever it is
dax right?
ill be looking forward to whatever shindig you got cooked up
until then ill do my best to not die and all that
buena suerte and all that

[animusnpcs]
