to: everyone

[assembles]

Hey there, everyone. My name is Steve Rogers and I'm one of the people most recently summoned to the Free Cities. I'm also a good friend of Sam Wilson's — we've worked together for a number of years. I know he's made quite the name for himself here.

I've only been here for a little over a month, but in that time I've noticed a sudden increase in military activity within Cadens. There's increased drills and training exercises, equipment moving in and out, that kind of thing. I went by Fort Wilbridge and tried to ask some questions, but all they really had to say was that they were acting out of an abundance of caution. Almost like they're expecting something.

It seems suspicious, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a change in how the factions are behaving, whether it's something I haven't picked up on in Cadens or something going on in Thorne or Solvunn. I figure it might be a good idea to compare notes so we won't be completely blindsided if something else is coming our way.

That's all I've got for now, but it's nice to meet you all. In a manner of speaking, anyway.

They're welcome to move boxes too, then.

[guess who. has not heard about. the excursion]

This is just from speaking to local artisans. I can investigate further, if you like.

YOU KNOW
I'LL LEAVE THAT BIT OF BOSSINESS TO YOU
BUT WHEN IM UP AND MOVING AGAIN I'LL STOP BY

[ and probably bring food, just cause. that's his love language etc etc etc. ]

IF YOU COULD I THINK IT WOULD BE WORTH IT
IF THERE'S A PATTERN TO THE RESOURCES THEY'RE LIMITING
OR IF THEY'RE STARTING TO TAKE THINGS FROM THE LABS FOR THE SOLDIERS
THAT SORT OF THING

BUT ONLY IF IT'S SAFE

[techmaturgy]

The call for research assistants is probably more indicative of movement behind the scenes, at this point.

[falcony]

IT'D STILL BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE ASSISTANTS TO DO
OFFENSE VS. DEFENSE
THAT SORTA THING

[techmaturgy]

Yes, of course. We'll investigate what we can. I believe Jayce has plans to volunteer.

[falcony]

YOU FARMING OUT YOUR EXTRA SET OF HANDS ALREADY?

[techmaturgy]

We're adept multitaskers.

[falcony]

I BET Y'ALL ARE

[techmaturgy]

Yes? We often work on multiple projects simultaneously. This won't be any different.
