I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

I can understand it both ways. It's pretty easy to get discouraged when you work yourself half to death to not die and just get "congratulations! Here's more dangerous work." But you're right. Giving up hope will get us nowhere.

And, of course, I mean it back in turn!

yeah it seems like a lot of people went through some pretty dangerous shit last month
so i can see where they'd be really annoyed with being tasked with this now
and this zee guy doesn't seem to be doing anything to help
other than accidentally fixing the subway i guess
so i get it, but i do think it's important for at least a few people to try to keep a brighter outlook!

Can confirm... I only went down to Magatus once myself, and got caught in an avalanche while I was there. From what I've heard, the rescue crew didn't have it easy, either. Think I read something about people throwing chairs?

So yeah. I definitely get it. But I do think you're right. We'll lose our will to fight if we all get too negative, after all.

Still, gotta say it's nice to commiserate at least a little.

sorry about the avalanche sounds like that was a pain in the ass
and yeah i'm not saying people shouldn't complain because i definitely get it
it helps to know you're not alone in dealing with all of this!
here's hoping things'll be way easier in pesgare!

The important thing is that we survived. Guess I can cross that one off my bucket list, right? We'll just conveniently ignore that it wasn't something I ever would have willingly put on there.

Right!

that's the spirit!
with any luck you won't have to face anything that horrible again!
