Status report from the field teams? Same for the rescue teams. We have people out in both locations and from where I'm sitting you guys are moving pretty fast.

The layer itself isn't at a risk of collapsing just yet, but I don't really want to take a bunch of chances.

Also my office has since been taken over by Whistler's Mother and I can't get her to leave, so it looks like I'm temporarily moving. Again. Anybody else having this problem?

Report to me with anything you need. The map on my system's filling out as much as it can, but I feel like I'm missing pieces.

Keep each other posted. Oh, and heads up? Looks like tech had one more batch of testers they were going to bring in, so...if you see anybody new? Try and get them up to speed.

[oh hey a ping!]

Sound hunting monsters? Can't say I've run into those yet.

Do they attack when you make a sound, or are they looking for a sound?

uh

both?

Saw one attack a deer scraping the bark off a tree

another one (same one?) went after a whale breaching nearby

they don't care about owls if they're flying or rabbits when they're just sitting there pretending not to exist

once the owl starts calling the shadow things find them again

Hmm...so they just attack any notable sound with little prompting.

Well, one option is to try to be quiet as possible.

Otherwise, I would suggest maybe set up a decoy to distract them? Like something that makes sound away from you. That way, you could get the jump on them, or sneak past.

That'd be my suggestion anyway.

great

fine

thanks

[That...sure was an awkward message. Okay. He hopes he didn't say something wrong]

Sure, it's nothing!
