[The last time Saul was seen on the network, he was about to choke out a member of the Initiative.

He's calmed down since then.

In fact, the look with which he greets the network is positively cheerful, thought not so much that it takes away from the businesslike atmosphere he's trying to cultivate with this post — he's got work to do, damn it, so he's in the most official-looking room he could find, seated in front of the camera with folded hands. Suit: check, tie: check, pocket square: check.]

This isn't how the story goes, but: good morning, Moon.

For those of you who don't know me, the name's Saul Goodman. I work for the Department of Initiative-Transport Relations with the lovely Queen Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon — [He pauses to smirk. What a mouthful, right?] — and a whole slew of other equally lovely folks. We're here to help you in matters concerning Initiative-Transport goings on. Now, here I'd usually take the opportunity to ask you all to lay whatever questions you might have on me, but because things are so crazy right now, the best answer I can give to any question will probably be a confident "I don't know."

We'll update you as we're updated.

Anyway, I'm coming to you today with a request. Lots of people are gearing up to go on supply runs, which is great. Go team. If those of you who've gone on runs already or plan to go could check in with me here and let me know what it is you're bringing back, that'd be super helpful. I'll make a list that everyone can refer back to, so no one has to double-up on fetching supplies that might not be necessary.

[So he might be a little bit worried about the lack of resurrection technology. That might be a thing. He just doesn't want anyone taking unnecessary risks for the sake of DVDs or... or whatever.]

Thanks.

How many times did you have to say "rubber baby buggy bumpers" before you could spit that one out?

[says the smartass with the butterfly bandages on his forehead. gee, wonder how those got there.]

['SUP HAN.

Saul arches an eyebrow.]

Yeah?

Initiative-Transport relations....

There are only a few of them left, right? The Initiative, I mean.

audio, probably perma

[5055034455]

[In which Saul attempts to sound mostly neutral about this, and not at all like he's really a bit upset:] Yeah.

[vaccination]

If they haven't already, there should be some people making runs for stuff to make first aid kits. You know, to hand out to people. Talk to that Donny guy.

[If he doesn't stutter so much he has a stroke.]

HI ELLIE c: audio also

[5055034455]

Good call. Donny's a friend of mine — I'll find out what he needs.

["Friend".........]

[lucency]

So you're Saul Goodman.

[ BELLE SAID, THREE MONTHS LATE. it's been hectic, don't judge her. ]

Someone - someone told me to talk to you about the Department pretty recently after I arrived, actually.

[5055034455]

[Well that sure is music to Saul's ears.

His grin widens, if that's even possible.]

Well, here I am. How can I be of service?

I am arranging a run for fresh food, particularly meat. The lost gods know we need something besides this dehydrated crap.

[5055034455]

[Hey, Kang! Has anyone ever been so happy to see you as Saul is right now?]

Governor! That's perfect. I'll stick it on the list.

[ Oh. Right. These guys.

Well, okay, a bit off-topic, but as he's pretty certain the department's shared voicemail has since been obliterated: ]

Dear DITR,

I will be commandeering the time travel machine whatever it's called several times in the near future, obviously to mess around with time and fix this awful moon base up a bit. I'm not really going to wait for the remaining members of the Initiative to give me the go ahead, but at least I'm giving you a warning, so it counts.

Cheers,

Caesar Silverberg

[ There we go. ]

Mr. Silverberg,

Don't break anything.

Also, it would be cool if you could let us know what your actual plans involve, since some semblance of organization would be nice.

Sincerely,

Saul Goodman, on behalf of DITR

[Initiative-Transport Relations... Queen Boltagon.

He keeps the name in mind, but doesn't comment on it.]

Hello, Mr. Goodman.

I intend to go on some supply runs soon as well, to gather anything that could help. Do you know what sort of goods we're in need of the most, right now?

Besides food, I think.

[5055034455]

You can just call me Saul. As for what we need — food, mostly. Clothing seems to be in high demand. Hygiene products would be useful, too.

[bumbles]

I've been coordinating supply runs for food and medical supplies and creating a roster so we don't get too low and there's a system in place in case we lose anyone.

[5055034455]

[Look at Saul, being nice today:]

Excellent. Can I swing by at some point so we can coordinate?

[cesar]

Call on me when you require assistance.

[5055034455]

Of course. You need anything?

[worldswillburn]

I was wondering when you'd show up.

[5055034455]

[There's that grand ol' smile again.]

I've been busy. How's life on the moon treatin' you, Sarah?

Not here

[lazyinlove]

[But aren't those guys mostly dead now anyway?]

[5055034455]

[SHHHHHH, STAN.

Shhhh.]

audio

[peeta_bread]

I might go get some supplies by myself if I can't find anyone to go with me. [Which might not be the best idea, but he's determined.] I was thinking I'd concentrate on clothes, unless you think I should get something else.

audio, private

[5055034455]

Hey, Peeta. Did you ask Effie to tag along? Make it sound like a shopping trip and I bet she'd be more than happy to go.

[video]

[kyoumibukai]

Ah, how exciting. I didn't realize that there was an organization attempting to act as a liason between the Transports and the Initiative.

[He tilts his head and smiles.]

Tell me, Saul Goodman, are you going to lead the incipient insurrection or are you going to risk your life attempting to prevent it?

[video - sorry not sorry]

[5055034455]

We've existed for a few months.

[And barely exist now. Saul pauses to take a sip from his mug of Shitty Moon Coffee while Philip asks his question, and then — yep, you bet he just did a spit-take.

So classy.

While wiping the back of his mouth with a sleeve:] Wh—? Who said anything about an insurrection?

[controlledvariable]

Planning to pull some shit for medical. Last I knew there wasn't a list of necessities made up yet. If that's changed, might as well say as much now

same, same;

[5055034455]

You should talk to Donny Casey. He's got a whole bunch of people working on gathering inventory for the clinic. I'll have a list soon.

[beardedflannel]

You need supplies-- what do you need?

[ Health kits and medical supplies aside, of course. ]

Food? Clothing? Bedding?

[5055034455]

[Saul notes the name on his tablet, files it away for later discussion, and nods.]

Food's an automatic yes. Clothing we might have covered, but no one's mentioned bedding yet. You up to raiding an IKEA, maybe?
