TO: EVERYONE | avengers, assemble!

[falcony]

[ this comes through clear and is broadcast to everyone, though by this point sam is very aware that a good amount of people won't catch it. he tries, anyway, knowing some responses may be off or delayed or corrupted from a select few people, but he's not going to limit this.

he has enough information at this point. something is wrong, and it's not faction-focused. they need to act, and they need to act now. ]

THIS IS A CALL FOR ALL SUMMONED CURRENTLY NOT MIA
IN CASE IT HASN'T MADE IT TO YOU YET- SOMETHING'S HAPPENED
A GOOD PORTION OF SUMMONED AND LOCALS ALIKE HAVE GONE MISSING
AND IT WASN'T THEIR CHOICE
I'VE GOT REPORTS FROM THE FREE CITIES, SOLVUNN, AND THORNE ALIKE
AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN THIS SORT OF STUFF HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO ACT FAST

SO I'M SETTING UP A SEARCH AND REPORT SYSTEM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP
IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY OR THIS ISN'T YOUR JAM, FINE
BUT IF YOU WANT TO HELP, HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW:

- ANYONE MISSING HAS CORRUPTED ACCESS TO WHATEVER NETWORK THIS IS, AS WELL AS THE HORIZON

- THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN BY FORCE ACROSS ALL FACTIONS

- WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ENDED UP, BUT AT LEAST SOME OF THEM ARE CONCIOUS ENOUGH TO REACH OUT

-THEY’VE ENDED UP TOGETHER


PLANS RIGHT NOW INCLUDE:

HORIZON PATROLS TO SEE IF WE CAN CHECK ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT IN, NO MATTER HOW SHORT
>> I'M GOING TO BE SETTING UP A HOME BASE AT MY PLACE IN THE HORIZON.
>> A LOT OF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE
>> SHOW THE WAY FOR NEWBIES,
>> IF YOU STILL NEED HELP, I CAN DIRECT
>> ITS A PLACE TO DROP INFO OR JUST CHECK IN
>> WE’LL HAVE SHIFTS
>> HILDA AND PETRA ARE TAKING THE LEAD HERE

INVESTIGATION INTO KIDNAPPING SITES
>> ONLY GO IN GROUPS
>> AND I SWEAR TO GOD— BE CAREFUL
>> WE DONT KNOW WHAT WERE UP AGAINST

INFORMATION COORDINATION ACROSS FACTIONS
>> YOU MIGHT GET CONTACTED BY SOMEONE NAMED NATASHA
>> SHE'S HELPING ME OUT
>> DONT PISS HER OFF— IM WARNING YOU

REACHING OUT TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES / OFFICIALS TO SEE WHAT THEY KNOW AND WHAT THEY CAN OFFER
>> IM GONNA BE TALKING TO THE PM OF CADENS,
>> BUT PEOPLE IN SOLVUNN AND THORNE WILL NEED TO SHARE WHAT THEY LEARN


IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON ANY OF THIS, NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, REACH OUT TO ME
IF YOU WANT TO ASK AFTER A FRIEND, WE’LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT IS TOGETHER

[ in other words….

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE

and no, sorry nat, he’s not saying it aloud. ]

The intersection of a line directly north of Cadens and northwest of Aquila is closer to the Singularity than Andromeda Bay, but pending data from Thorne, it could be the northern coast of the continent. Past the crater.

I agree that they're using portals, after a certain point.

[techmaturgy]

I am. That's part of the jewelry project. Something to consider, when we're through this.

[techmaturgy]

I have a group available to visit Aquila. If you'd like to cover Libertas, that would be much appreciated.

[hextechhead]

Thank you, Jaskier. I do think it might be helpful if some of us can meet in person rather than relying on the mental network at this point to brainstorm. Maybe in Nocwich or Luna. Viktor and I are working on some updates and other ideas, but it would require the factions to work together ... or just get out of our way.

[falcony]

I'LL BE THERE

[falcony]

YOU'RE GOING TO DRIVE YOURSELF CRAZY THINKING LIKE THAT
IM GLAD THEY DIDN'T TAKE YOU
AND WE'LL GET THEM BACK

MEET ME AT MY PLACE IN THE HORIZON
WE CAN TALK THERE

BUT JUST SO IT'S ON RECORD- YES
I TRUST NAT WITH MY LIFE, AND HAVE
I'LL BRING HER ALONG AND YOU CAN SHOW US BOTH

[falcony]

DONE AND DONE
AND NOTED
DO I NEED TO SAY THE SAME FOR YOU?

[falcony]

I CAN BE THERE IN HALF AN HOUR
I'VE GOT THE WINGS WITH ME ALREADY, SO

[falcony]

YOU MEAN THE PEOPLE WHO'VE GONE MISSING ON THE OUTSKIRTS?
WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE USED US TO GET THINGS DONT THEY CAN'T TOUCH
DO YOU THINK THE CASTLE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN?

[falcony]

TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU
NO ONE NEEDS TO BE MOVING AROUND ON THEIR OWN RIGHT NOW
EVEN INSIDE THE CITY

[oversurge]

You tell me.
My ass got here 3 weeks ago.

But higher-ups usually know more than they say.
'Least that's my experience.

[rinwell]

I know that.

[she's not a child!! geeze! ...wait...]

I've seen what they can do. I won't go anywhere alone.

[cointosser]

Perfect. Consider it done, my friend.

[cointosser]

My apologies for interrupting, but did this dosarak happen to have a very loud, ear-splitting scream? Any noteworthy noise, I suppose?

[nadine_he_loves]

I know, thank you.

And the same goes for you. If you need any calming draughts or something to help with sleep or keeping your strength up, you know you're welcome to just take it. Please take anything you need.

[cointosser]

As much as I would enjoy and am thus very prone to losing several nights in a manic, frantic state, I will take you up on a draught to aid my sleep. Preferably one without dreams.

[cointosser]

Oh, my being crazed is nothing new.

I will invite her as well. If she is as skilled at you at gathering information, I believe this is an important clue to their location that should be shared.

[cointosser]

Himeka. I'm relieved to see you're still with us.

Do you have an idea how long ago people have begun going missing? Is it viable to believe they have been setting up for this event for some time? Or -- and I regret to think so, considering the last interaction we've had with deities -- did they decide they needed more bodies?

Apologies. I'm thinking out loud. I only --

Keep yourself safe.

[cointosser]

I can only imagine it must be past the crater. I was brought to it once, and it is vast. Far larger than I would've imagined. And the land around it was barren. You could not see water from it.

[techmaturgy]

I've seen it too. If it's beyond the crater, we won't make it in time, not without a portal.

[nadine_he_loves]

Yeah, I have the no-dreams stuff. Or at least you don't remember your dreams.

Take as much as you need, it's all labeled. And in the unlocked cabinet.

[warfed]

We will be safe, this I am promising.
I have no intention of letting Hilda out of my sight, either.
I do not want to be losing anyone else.

[They've all lost so much already. Nobody else is going to go missing— she's determined to make that the case, much like Sam himself.]

[techmaturgy]

Yes, please bring that to the workshop as well.
