exsilium | [video] dos;;

[ She's so not ready for making a video and putting it up here for the Transports to see...but this isn't the sort of thing you can just convey over text. This is actual important information she needs to share with them, frustratingly vague as it seems to be. ]

Hello Ex-Exsilum.

[ Perfect start. ]

My name is Charlie, Ch-Charlie Dyer. I was w-with the rescue g-group on the compound.

[ She stops there and takes a breathe. While she had some time to clean herself, she looks...well, beaten up, Even with long sleeves and jeans the darkening purple creeping up her neck and the cut over her left eyebrow make it obvious she got in one too many unfair fights. ]

I found something. It was be-being guarded, so I knew it w-was important. [ She holds the diamond storage device up for a moment. ] Had the Initiative p-people crack it. It has...um...

[ She puts the device down and picks a paper sheet up. ]

"A system of sch-schematics that show the breakdown of an un-unnamed event over the Island of Exsilium, including m-models tracking the presence of some element o-or another for fifty, one hundred, and two hundred years."

[ She puts the sheet down. ]

Wh-whatever it is, they're l-looking at us. B-been looking at the island f-for a while. Maybe th-this makes more sense to so-someone else here? A-anyway, that's that.

I n-need to sit down...

[normally, lisbeth skips over most posts by people she doesn't recognize on the network. however, she'd been scouring the network ever since she'd found those files on a little side trip she took during the diversion mission.

but when she sees this woman's post, she furrows her brows. schematics, an unnamed event, tracking - hot zones, fallout zones. her breath catches in her throat.]

I found something similar.

[ She's done talking. ]

Let's compare notes, shall we.

I found schematics about strike zones - but when I looked at the files again once I got home, their wording changed. Hot zones happened to be in that wording.

Edited 2013-09-20 05:46 (UTC)

The wording changed?

I think this is information related to an event that happens every fifty years or so. I never bought that they would leave us alone for so long. They must be doing something every now and then.

Edited 2013-09-20 05:49 (UTC)

how are you sure it happens every fifty years?

They say anything about a Black Code?

No, nothing about that.

Have you found something too?

Just a field guide.

It looks old, but as far as I can tell it's up to date.

[ A pause, and then maybe a bit softer. ]

You okay?

A field guide of what?

I'll survive.

Like— an instruction book for soldiers.

Surviving's a lot trickier than some people make out.

[Claudia throws up a quick encryption before she replies]

Shit. I heard them talking about something like that. They were saying they were going to turn the place into a permanent hot-zone.

[She sighs, raking a hand through her hair. She looks like shit since she hasn't slept much since her captivity and bonus broken arm... typing with one hand is a bitch, man.]

[ Only because she looks like crap, Charlie lets the video on. ]

They have m-maps, coordinates, they probably know wh-where to hit t-to make the most damage.

Shit!

Can you send me those schematics? Even better if you can send 'em digitally so I can take a look, myself. This is some serious stuff and we gotta learn as much as we can about before it hits the fan.

Check your mail.

I would say "just about everything that matters."

[Her fingers fly across the keyboard and she pulls it up, skimming the info as she talks]

Well duh that goes without saying. I've been trying to pull together as much as I can on my end. I haven't been able to crack into the drive I swiped yet but I'll get there.

[Oh no, Charlie. There's a sweet but sad smile on her face.]

Charlie, do you remember me?

Edited (WHOOPS IT'S VIDEO aaah mah bad) 2013-09-21 04:49 (UTC)

[ Charlie smiles a little. ]

I have g-good memory.

[It's odd how relieved she feels to hear that.]

I'm glad. You weren't hurt at all while you were on the compound, were you?

[ She smiles despite feeling all beaten up. ]

Just a b-bit.

[Her smile shifts to concerned, but she knows Charlie will be fine.]

There's a clinic here, I believe. If you need it.

... Hey, old lady, you okay?

['Cause he recognizes that frequency, even if he's still not that great with these things, and considering he wasn't on the other mission he's still surprised to see its aftereffects. It makes him pretty glad he didn't end up there, sure, but...]

They didn't actually make you go an' fight with a briefcase, did they?

[ Old lady.

Oh you little- ]

I'm fine thanks. And I fought without weapons.

[Shhh, he was trying to lighten the mood! Affectionate insults are totally the thing!]

Ehhh, you mean you know martial arts? So you don't even need your briefcase at all, then!

[Gosh, you people and your redundant abilities...]

Edited 2013-09-22 19:11 (UTC)

The br-briefcase is for other thi-things.

[ Seriously, teenagers. ]

What else would it be for? Don't tell me it's for officework, 'cause that'd just be depressing!

[Teenagers will be teenagers don't hate!!]
