[ Undyne had said she wanted more guidance from ALASTAIR. Here she is, with more guidance, and she doesn’t know if she likes it. Looking more ragged than ever, she’s standing with Pearl, with the volcano Nalalona in the background. ]

Alright chumps, listen up, it’s time for some teamwork! ALASTAIR has some ideas about what we can do to get the volcano going again, so everyone can get their powers back. ...it’s going to involve a bomb.

[Pearl clears her throat, despite the fact her body is flickering in and out of view at some points during the video. The Gem stands tall as she gestures back to the volcano.]

This is correct. ALASTAIR has entrusted us with schematics of creating a bomb and a catapult. It’s up to us to gather the necessary supplies and assemble them.

They have observed a high level of tectonic plate activity here, near the Nalalona volcano. With enough force -- the bomb in this case -- we can possibly trigger an eruption and restore the natives’ Gifts, along with our own magical abilities. The volcano’s opening is large enough for us to hit our mark with the bomb. It’s up to us to put it all together.

We can’t afford to not try. Look around you, half our team relies on magic just to exist. This isn’t just about helping the natives use magic anymore, this about saving ourselves. If you don’t use magic, good for you, but if you have a heart, you’ll understand why this is important, and why if I catch anyone slacking off, they’ll be answering to my spear about why they don't think it's important. Got it?!

[Pearl glances to Undyne and offers her a weak smile. The situation they were all facing was quite dire. She faces the feed again.]

I know we have the ability to make this work. And we will, if we all work together on this. Every little bit helps!

[ OOC note: There will be a mod-posted mass log on the 16th for gathering/construction/etc. Pearl and Undyne will be around, and feel free to use this post to chat among each other as well! ]

I frankly don't care what offends their delicate, backwards sensibilities. My focus is in technomancy, not spiritual affairs. It is fortuitous, then, that I also doubt the validity of ghosts.

[But bitch he saw you.]

I know you don't. Believe me, you've made it abundantly clear. It wasn't as though I was asking you to care; I'll handle it. Even if they're mad at me, I refuse to lie to them about what's going on.

Do your calculations specify what distance to move them? Although I imagine our own judgment should be good enough in the evacuation.

Let me guess. You doubt the effectiveness of curses, too.

Recruit Tohsaka Rin, do you know what technomancy is? It is the weaving of magic and technology. Magic and spells are my forte as much as microchips and nuclear fission. Both bring out the best in each other, allowing us to do unfathomable things. I am well acquainted with curses. For your sake I hope you were not threatening me just now.

As for where to move the locals, away from the volcano. Which would be south.

Oh, I was just checking.

I was asking about how far, but on second thought, I'm sure we can manage. So I'll substitute it with this quick question. Is support from recruits off-world usual in ALASTAIR, or do we need to become stronger?

[crowleyology]

It is not unusual for different teams to collaborate. My sister and I are not on mission right now, so we had time to look in on your efforts and offer our assistance.

But I would agree that you all have areas in which you could improve.

[defenceless]

That's fair enough.

[they all have ways, after all, in which they could improve.]

In that case, I'll have to thank you for what you've done for us. Hopefully someday, I can act to return the favor. We owe you one.
