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?

Yes.

How likely is the plan to be successful?

*'Sup, Dax, it's one of those people you had to kill that tried breaking into the pods. Enoch rushes over to the terminal that he heard the familiar voice from, jumping and double-jumping over the fallen bookshelves to get to it. His armor has been damaged, neck guards gone and half his chest and the entirety of his left arm uncovered.*

We've been defending the lower floors in rotations, and I think I can hear another group fighting above at times. We'll be all right - is the one of you that was in pain well?

[animusnpcs]

Unless something completely unexpected goes wrong between then and now it shouldn't fail.

[animusnpcs]

He is recovering for the moment; he's much improved, don't worry.

[deathboss]

...now that's just asking for it!

[alephbet]

That's as good as we can hope for. Thank you.

[Voice]

[technologic]

Yeah, I think we can.

... One of you was not doing so well, from what I remember. [Judging by the texts she had got.] How are they?

[animusnpcs]

Zo is recovering. Attempting to maintain the barrier under the assault from the whale was the source of the problem, and as there's no point in maintaining any sort of barrier when we would just be locking more monsters inside, we has been able to rest.

[animusnpcs]

Frankly it would be difficult for things to go more unexpectedly wrong right now.

[animusnpcs]

Good luck.

[alephbet]

We're doing our best.

[technologic]

Ah, that's good.

... Sooo, this plan of yours, can you give any details or is it a case of 'wait and see and hope it works'?

[immortalia]

Query: Would it be possible for those who have ammunition-based weapons to receive more supplies, as well as building materials if sealing the cafeteria is needed?

[animusnpcs]

We will be defending the Tower ourselves once we have repaired a few things down here.

[animusnpcs]

At the moment no, but once repairs are complete I can have them brought up.

[technologic]

Really? Well, I just hope it works.

[immortalia]

Understood.

Suggestion: For those who can build and repair, it would be imperative to maximize those efforts to repair what has been lost.

[animusnpcs]

We should be able to repair much of the damage after the attack itself is over with only minimal loss; for now you can do what you want to the Tower to defend yourselves.

[Time to say something he has a feeling nobody else is going to say-]

Please make sure you take care of yourselves, as well!

[warriorscribe]

Thank you.

*Part of him badly wants to demand info, but they needed to work on whatever it was...at least this one seemed an honest enough man.

He glances behind him - no enemies crawling nearby...okay, how often are they going to get answers?*

...Would answering questions delay you?

[animusnpcs]

[Dax's tone is surprised enough that it's obvious he certainly didn't expect anyone to say that.]

We'll do our best. Thank you.

you got it
think we could get an explanation for what the fuck has been going down after all this?

[animusnpcs]

I have time now, as long as the questions don't require the others' input.

You're welcome, just don't do anything too risky! I don't approve of anyone's life-threatening heroics up here- so I wouldn't want the same for any of you, either.

[He'd British harder but...he kinda can't linger at the terminal for too long or he's gonna get maimed. SORRY FOR THE FEELS AND RUN, DAX.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]
