(Sorry about the delay, it's been a hellweek)

[the_array_team]

Yeah, I aint got no problems with that. Just sos you know, it wont be no waltz out to Las Vegas and find booze. I'm lookin' at actually useful shit.

no worries man

[boughtabookstore]

I'm the first one behind that. It helps, anyways, if they're doing things that will be beneficial to the return - both for them to agree and others. I draw the line at things that would endanger their life without their agreement to it, though.

never be sorry :>

[totallytrustworthy]

lol accurate enough for us both

speaking of

were you always working for the initiative?

[the_array_team]

[There's a snort over the line.]

Y'got m'word.

[the_array_team]

Nah, used to right hate em. Worked as a scavenger soon as I was old enough to find trouble on my lonesome.

[boughtabookstore]

Good. I'll be in touch with you as soon as I finalize plans.

[totallytrustworthy]

no kidding

you were one of us? didnt think you were the sort

[the_array_team]

Right? Hard to miss me for a proper gent.

Turns out I have a head for numbers if not much else. Aint complainin.

[totallytrustworthy]

valuable as they might be I cant say the same when it comes to stacking up digits


not unless were talking currency of some sort. amazing how that makes the job one hell of a lot easier

[the_array_team]

Sure don't hurt. Specially when y'buyer thinks y'are outright dumb an' illiterate.

[angel_of_death]

There seems to be some confusion as to whether the Initiative brought us here intentionally or whether it is the fault of the machine you're using. I've heard variations on the first and only one person claiming the second.

I'd like to know the real story.

[totallytrustworthy]

[Christ, he's a bloody con artist. Isn't that just charming?]

think your younger self and mine wouldve gotten along just fine

and made one hell of a lot of people so impossibly upset

[the_array_team]

Yeah. I were downright stupid as all shit.

No offense.

[totallytrustworthy]

so much taken you cheeky bastard

[the_array_team]

Eh. My bad.

[totallytrustworthy]

damn straight

now get back to it slacker. and dont forget about me while youre at it

[Action]

[the_array_team]

[He just snorts, giving the screen half a grin before closing the text box.]

text, late on the 7th;

[alittlesweptup]

I'd send this to both of you but don't even pretend like you're not in the same room right now, so consider this a message for Lowell as well

The pair of you (+Small, technically but whatever) gets to say what we do and don't do and I know you've probably more than a few ideas about what needs to get sorted, so consider this a diplomatic suggestion more than anything else. As much as I hate to say it, it seems to me like we're in a position where supply runs might actually be legitimately important if people are to survive down on the planet for long. I'm thinking survival gear, some generators to run some heating units, some heavy winter clothing for anyone who doesn't have their own kit already. Gasoline, medical supplies to beef up those first aid kits people've probably run through already, etc. I can draw up a list if you'd like

We won't be down planet side until tomorrow, but if we put our noses to it that should give everyone enough time to get things sorted I'd think? Though I can't claim to know how long it takes to make that equipment do what you'd like it to do, so that may be an unfair estimation on my part

[the_array_team]

[As the message pops up on Vennett's screen, he reads it through once before waving over Lowell.]

Looks like he's got about t'same idea.

[mathematician]

[Lowell wheels his chair over to Vennett's desk, and reads over the text.]

I'd be surprised if he didn't. He's the smart one of their group, anyway. I'd say we finalize our list of wheres and whens, send it off to Small, and then put it into action.

[the_array_team]

Mosta it should be relatively quick jumps. Might be power heavy though. It gonna be able to take tha kinda use?

[In the meantime, he types a response to Charlie: If you're up for the pace, that sounds fine. Get me the list, we'll get it moving fast like.]

[Audio]

[the_array_team]

I don't know t'exacts on it. Dimensional shit aint my thing.

But right positive it's random. Fair t'be sure that if we had some idea of where it were goin' there'd be a lot more vettin' and talkin' beforehand.

[mathematician]

The only thing I'd be worried about is overheating. I'll need about seven buckets filled with large blocks of ice. But yes, it should be able to work.

[the_array_team]

Vennett had been taking a break from the computer screen and was working on a set of blueprints, marking specific locations on the floorplans.

He looks up at the question, scratching at the side of his face. "Not a whole lot, personally. Whatcha thinkin' on?"

[the_array_team]

[Vennett makes a face at that. He'd been outside only briefly before deciding .. as much as he was truly and thoroughly grateful to be back on earth? Fuck that cold.]

... And I'm guessin' that is meanin' me.
