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.

look he's misfired like five times

[hoss]

No. Are you?

[miscalibrate]

Not yet

[ is this a joke or very literal. u decide ]

Where are you?

[hoss]

[ squints ]

Heading back to the safehouse now to grab some gear. There's a group heading to the pyramid.

You staying here?

[miscalibrate]

Not on purpose. I'm stuck in one of the damn trains

Are you sure that's the right move? I mean, I get it. Fixing that pyramid would do a whole lot of good, but this isn't our first sinking ship.

[ and it's never been as simple as plugging a few holes. once they're going down, they're going down. ]

[hoss]

Are you alright? Is anyone with you hurt?

It's not. But I won't know until we get out there and look at the place. El's not clocking any messages coming out of that facility. Not a good sign.

[miscalibrate]

I'm great

[ ish. ]

Some people are hurt. A handful of them are dead or on their way. None of them are with us.

[ no displaced, he means. ]

I know enough to know I can't stop you, but keep this line open and try not to get yourself killed.

[hoss]

You need to tell me if you're hurt.

[ pot, kettle. ]

[Bad username or site: stephen @ strange] can help with first aid if you can get him your location.

We'll get this done as fast as we can. If it's a lost cause—

[ then what?? holden doesn't have an exit route planned. ]

I'll find you when I get back. [Bad username or site: margaret @ carter] could use a set of hands in the meantime

@margaret.carter

[revlon]

I can use as many hands as people can spare, thank you, Mr Holden. Although I imagine Mr Burton's are quite full at the moment.

Is there anything I can do for you, @amos.burton? Do you know where your train stopped?

[miscalibrate]

[ "stopped" ]

A few blocks south of the red light district
Should we be sending the injured somewhere? How fucked are the hospitals right now?

[ he's assuming 'very', but might as well confirm. ]

[miscalibrate]

I'll tell you if I need help. I don't.

[ thanks for sounding the alarm anyway, u narc. but also, completely seriously: ]

Thanks, cap

[ you know, for all the usual reasons he says thanks before they probably die — including being a good man, even if he's pretty sure it's pointless. ]

[rehandle]

[ hello he heard somebody's in the middle of a medical emergency and hasn't had the good sense to call for medical assistance ]

Log your emergency or there's every chance nobody's coming.

[ it's your friendly neighborhood doctor man, his excellent bedside manner ]

[miscalibrate]

[ bossy.............. ]

It's just my leg
I'm fine.

is that for everyone or just people like us?

[ displaced only. that seems more logical, but he knows some people don't exactly put logic first. ]

[rehandle]

"It's just my leg" isn't the equivalent of "I'm fine".

Emergency services are suffering the same scrambling of communication as everywhere else. If we can save lives that they can't, we will.

[ It's For Everyone. so if you're surrounded by dying people, he'd appreciate you being a little quicker off the mark. ]

[miscalibrate]

I'm not gonna bleed out or go into shock, and I didn't crush enough muscle to get sick. Relax.

[ not a lot of technical terms, here, but he knows what'll kill you and what won't. there's a noticeable delay before the next message. ]

You know that's taking on a shitload of people, right

[rehandle]

[ he does, at least, seem to know what he’s talking about. Stephen’ll leave him to his assessment, none of them have the time to argue. ]

Yes, and I don’t imagine for a second that we’ll get to everybody. But to my knowledge we’re the only body of people with a reliable communication system left in the city and as such we’ll provide what support we can.

[miscalibrate]

[ it's a good enough point; close enough to Naomi's, about doing enough, that he'll course correct. ]

If you say so.

[ text doesn't really translate how literally he means that, but there's no sass.

but also please assume he uses that post the way he's supposed to even if i don't get to it because i'm lazy and soft and don't want to research train crash statistics aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]
