Hello everyone,

Unless I’ve missed something in the past hour or so, it seems like our network hasn’t been compromised by whatever has caused this massive security failure. I have at least five messages in my inbox that I’m certain aren’t for me, but everything seems clean here.

I think, as the group of people with the (apparently) only properly functioning network (and various talents, in a manner of speaking), we’re obligated to use it to organize ourselves and assist. The entire city is facing more problems as a result of this breach than I’ve ever seen before from one event. If you’re not particularly interested in helping those that could be trapped in cars or victims of accidents right now, consider that the external temperature has been rising. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m personally certain that once it gets around 55C I’m going to start dying.

The network has apparently been used before to coordinate teams of Displaced, let everyone know what’s needed and who to meet with, and I suggest we do it again. I’ll keep an eye on this and provide hotlinks to pertinent discussions, so anyone with particular skills or interests can volunteer themselves.

Stay safe everyone. Don’t spend too much time in the heat without decent protection, you can only help so much if you pass out in the middle of it.

I'll help with relief. I can think of a few places offhand that will make good shelters. And I know some first aid. I'll need some supplies, if there are any to spare.

[ Oh, bless her. ]

Thank you, Ms Klein. We'll furnish you (and anyone else) with what we can from our usual stores for outreach — luckily we brought in a good amount of donations from the harvest festival.

I'm hearing word about makeshift shelters cropping up around the city, shopfronts and the like. What places are you thinking of? We can try and spread that information around to the other volunteers.

[SHE JUST KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE FORGOTTEN ABOUT OK
also she's hyperventilating a little nobody has ever called her "ms klein" ok focus, nill]

Just let me know where I can pick them up and I'll head out. [Bad username or site: Heine @ Rammsteiner] will you come with me?

I know a skate park that's underground, which will help people keep cool. The overhead lights will be out, but we can get flashlights and other small light sources. I go to Honey♥Honey a lot. The people who work there are nice and I bet they would open up their shop. And Pink Fr33k, too. I think anywhere underground would be a good idea for right now. It might get a little stuffy, but it's better than frying to death in the sun.

[revlon]

The new safehouse at the bike shop. Thank you.

And I agree, the underground is our best bet right now. The back-up generators are doing their best to keep establishments cool and operational, but we might try leading people towards the natural caves. They were capable of holding hundreds during the Insomniac's Ball at the height of summer without much incident.

Thanks, I'll grab a few things and go back if I run out.

How far are they from the city? It might get too hot to make the walk if it's very far, and I don't know how to drive.

[revlon]

Please do take care out there.

[ her favourite fashionable info broker ]

I suspect any underground entrance is as good as any, starting with the subway. I'd recommend checking a map but unfortunately those are out of the question now. Some buildings have underground access via their basements, I believe.

[culver]

I will. I'm good at that.

[she's gotta be, after 2 years on the s.s. hellship]

I'll ask around. Someone is bound to know. Thank you. I'll keep you updated.

@heine.rammsteiner

[whitehair]

[culver]

[you already have enough bad habits who taught you this]

But can you drive it?

[she's only ever seen you get hit by vehicles ok]

I heard. I think there's some with the medical supplies. Do you need a hat?

[whitehair]

[ fitz, because beggars cant be choosers ]

third times the charm right

[ and he always !!! gets back up !!! ]

probably yeah

[whitehair]

[culver]

[FITZ SHE'S GOT HER EYE ON YOU]

As long as the second isn't the unlucky one.

I'm going to get you one of those fisherman hats.

[whitehair]

wrong, this is the third time. I'm a professional driver now.

how is that cool??

[culver]

Three times and you're a professional? I'll remember that.

It isn't.
