[ HELLO NETWORK Roslyn has a gift for you. that is, she is using something other than text over the network and it isn't encrypted. WHOA.
she also sounds pretty harried! what's up with that. ]
I have news.
The time equipment can't be reached. Security is too heavy even with these problems.
They knew this was coming. It's time inconsistencies, the result of our mission. Sometimes the smallest thing changes and it causes others - the butterfly effect, it's been called before. They didn't think it would be this fast, or this bad -
[ a pause, a quick intake of air. she's struggling to make sure she remembers and says everything. as she falls silent, a second voice speaks up. Tony Stark, for those who recognize his voice. ]
Their 'solution' for this problem of theirs: send us out to fix it. The ones who can be sent out, because they're not in danger of suddenly blinking out of existence due to her-mentioned butterfly effects. And that's also why all the new neighbours all the time – just to make sure there's enough people around to keep sending people out. Because the population, not growing. People coming in to replace the ones who have vanished.
[ another pause, this time filled with the noise of a hand over the mic, movement nearby and the murmur of muffled voices. then the hand lifts and she speaks again. ]
Bariyan. John. The children.
If there's a mission -
[ she lets that hang in the air and shuts off the connection.
not long afterwards, a few encrypted messages go out from Roslyn! ]

Are you all right?

But if you ever aren't fine - I'm here.

[ a surprised beat. things she really didn't expect Eridan to ask, TOP OF THE LIST. she runs a hand through her hair and manages a rueful smile. ]
I'm a little tired. It's been a long - [ week? month? almost half a year? ] You haven't had any symptoms, have you?

Symptoms? No, I havven't. None a' that seems to be goin' around for any a' the trolls actually, I wwould'vve heard somethin' about it.

[yeah whoops not paying as much attention as he should be but at least now he is]
no subject
As a result of something on the first mission, time's shifted. And some of us are now in danger of ceasing to have ever existed. The mission is hopefully for the purpose of setting things right.
no subject
Wwell, don't wworry about it. Quick trip back an' forth an' this'll all be sorted out.
Y'knoww, if these guys are right, at least.
no subject
That is the hope. As is, them and their people are being affected by this as well, so it is in their best interest to be telling the truth.
no subject
Hope, huh.
Wwell that entire concept just so happens to be my under my jurisdiction so I think wwe're okay there.
no subject
Is it? Can I ask how so?
