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've gone by a grocer's and they are already taking in people seeking shelter from the heat, they have backup generators running for the food.

[ Gaby Teller. Good Lord, she had no idea the other woman was back. But she tables that surprise for now, in light of the situation. ]

I'm glad to hear it, thank you, Ms Teller. It seems the generators are barely managing as it is. Keeping the food cool is one matter, but my concern is for the people. Temperatures are already beginning to rise.

[myownwoman]

The generators are powering their air conditioning as well it looks like. They will likely be somewhat put off but I've no doubt their ice will soon become a communal commodity.

[ if all their customers die of heat stroke they will have no more customers. ]

[revlon]

It won't last long if temperatures begin to rise, but luckily water is water, and that's what's important.

[myownwoman]

And ice will quickly become water. Small favors for the dehydrated among us.

[revlon]

All of us, at this rate. Will you be all right, can you manage?

[myownwoman]

I am no stranger to destruction.

[ she will manage fine. ]

[revlon]

Sounds like a story for another time.

[myownwoman]

Another time and more than one drink.

if i get you a container, can you fill it?
we need water, and ice might actually make it across this city in this heat without evaporating.

[myownwoman]

It takes some time, I have to work in layers, but yes.

[evite]

great
if you notice any weird feelings, stop. don't overdo it.

[ she is very aware that this is stupid advice to give someone as stubborn as gaby, but she's saying it For The Record (and so that she can say "i told you so" later) ]

[myownwoman]

[ things that aren't likely: gaby listening to this advice. ]

Let me know if you need water in the office.
