[Intentional Audio Message:]

Attention Luceti.

Assistance is needed immediately at the farms to the northwest of the village. We have hostiles and--

[The oddly cool, clipped tone that the message was given suddenly breaks off into a heated bark.] Putain de merde!

[There's a rustle of pages and the sound of bodies colliding, followed more swearing in French.

The feed cuts out.

Hurry, Luceti.]

[He considers her plan for a long moment and then nods. It sounds like the best shot they have.]

Lead them towards the village. There's more people there keeping everyone safe. We'll have more back-up there.

[geniustheveil]

[At first, she worries that's also bringing hostile people to a place they can do even more damage - to stores, even houses. Raiding. But then she realizes Steve is right: there'll be more people to help, there, and the resources will have a better chance of being divided fairly, proving their good intent. She nods.]

I'm going, then!

[She hurries closer to the people, making her way carefully towards the village even as she seems to give up ground.]

[neversurrender]

[He adjusts his shield onto his forearm, making sure it won't slip off if he has to make a run for it. Although he has no doubt he could probably out-run a majority of these people.

He gives Mercury a nod.] Gook luck. And be careful!

[And then he's taking off in another direction, luring the other half of the crowd away from the farm.]

[geniustheveil]

[A few of the crowd - more than a few, she notes a bit nervously - grumble that they won't let her run away. They start to close in.

Good. She won't make it easy. She, too, is fast, more than she's ever been strong, and her mobility isn't much impaired by the power dampening.]
