"Will Graham here. Leave a message."

[Open for text/audio/action/whatever.]

My item says you're somewhere called "the Wilds". How wild are we talking?

Edited 2024-01-26 03:40 (UTC)

Hey, Shaw. Pretty damn wild, which wouldn't be a problem if it were normal nature. There's some things that have attacked us. We're fine. Once the Admiral made the announcement, I made sure I had my weapons on me. Malcolm did, too.

Where are you? Did you get tossed off, too?

Did you hear the second announcement? "Waters of death, fight the current, avoid the call of the stars"?

Yeah, I heard that, but-

You're in the waters of death? What does that even mean?

Still... trying to figure that out, actually.

All right, well. I suppose it doesn't matter, if all you're doing is looking for a way out. Is it deep? Are there fish? Monsters?

There's at least one other person from the Barge stuck in here, and the Admiral says he can't get us out. Rescue missions are all on us.

[And she knows what her job is on that front.]

No fish. Water depth is variable; I went over a waterfall at one point, but it's not too bad where I am now. Monsters are-- let's go with manageable.

Manageable is good. Waterfalls sound less good.

[ He's quiet for a moment, then lets out a huff. ]

I'll see if I can get more information on how to get out of there. I assume there's a trick or five. You'll keep in touch, right? Let me know if you find anyone else, if anything changes?

Teamwork. I like it.

I thought about trying to get a headcount, but with all the people overboard and all the different ways to lose a comm down here, I'm not sure how useful it'd be. It took me hours to find a place calm enough to pull mine out and start calling people.

Might not hurt to just collect who you can on the way out. Once...you find a way out.

I'll be keeping an eye out for people who got lost in the Wilds. Some of them might not fare so well in the wilderness. There's at least one abandoned town around here, though, so maybe we can use that for shelter. We can try to make a base, if that works.

My gun's not working, by the way. I'm using one of Malcolm's scimitars until I can fix it.

[ He assumes she won't have a problem with that, in this situation. ]

I don't plan on leaving people behind.

[In other words - once she finds a way out, she'll be doing what she can to get people there, and then diving right back in.]

What happened to your gun? Mine's waterlogged, but if you're topside--

[ Will groans. It's not the gun, it's Shaw's plan. He will have this argument with her later. Hopefully it won't come to that. ]

I'm not sure. It jammed on the second shot- I don't have the tools to fix it.

It's all right. Most of what's out here seems zombie-like, but not with enough numbers to actually be a threat.
