[With all the information coming out, it's apparent to Keith and Lance that one big elephant in the room has been ignored: the infection among the recruits themselves. Keith is tired and on edge, as he needs nothing to do with the infection to be cranky. Lance is jittery, too. But they have to talk about that elephant before it gets too late.

And for some of them, it might be. That's what Keith is really afraid of right now.]


Hey. It's Keith.

and ya boy, lance! [Because things are already pretty doom and gloom as it stands, and maybe things could use a little lightening up? Or something...

It’s a little more difficult to differentiate between people in a group message like this, but it’s a better idea to get something down on text in case they need to refer to it later, and anyone who knows either of the boys can probably tell them apart pretty easily through diction alone.]


we know your mind-phones have been pretty busy lately, but theres something keith and i wanted to talk to you guys about.

Before we get a move on in attacking Zymandis' agent, we need to look at our own numbers. A lot of us are sick. Maybe less than I thought. Or maybe more. Either way, we have to know who's sick and make a plan to help our own. And I'm serious about HELPING. Not putting someone out of their misery or any of the other stupid stuff I've heard from some of this team. We need to stop this disease. We need to help our own. Once everyone's BETTER, we'll make a plan for what to do next as a team.

[It's harsher than necessary but likely less harsh than how it might be normally, given Keith's frequently frustrated tone of voice. Text mitigates some of it, even if his frustration definitely does become CAPITAL LETTERS.

Lance, meanwhile, is quite eager to gloss over that sharp reprimand because seriously guys — kumbaya.]


yeeeeeah, so — helping! getting a head count is definitely ideal. we cant afford to be silent on this and we definitely CANT be alone right now, cuz every one of us affected and on our own can be a huge risk to everyone here. so we were thinking… since the city shut it down, we can use the middle school. those of us infected can stay there while we wait for our people to find that cure. like a quarantine safe house.. i know its not ideal, but its something. especially for those who dont have any other contingency plans.

[A pause. Well. May as well get the ball rolling, right?]

ill be there.

( ooc; p.s. there is an information plotting post for the quarantine space! )

I'll go back and check the earlier ones. I must have missed all that somehow in between everything.

But thanks. For letting us know about this so we can figure things from here.

Yeah. If one of your card things can help out anyone, I'm sure that's where you'll be able to figure it out.

I'm not sure yet if any of them might help with something like this, but I'll see. I'm not sure it's best to be too open about my magic here when they don't seem to have it.
secondnature: (galra smell a lot)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-03-07 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think people might be a bit too busy to notice magic.
keystaff: (Heart motifs)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-03-08 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I just want to be careful. I mean, I'll use it if I have to, but. I don't want everyone panicking even more because of me either.
secondnature: (this is stressful)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-03-08 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, try to keep it to the groups of sick people. They'll write it off as a hallucination once there's a cure.
keystaff: (Wonder)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-03-09 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
A hallucination. Because they're sick? Maybe. That's not a bad idea, if I have to. Thanks!
secondnature: (how do you pilot)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-03-09 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem. We're not really in a position where we can start denying the use of our powers if they can help these people.
keystaff: (Heart beat)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-03-10 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I'm sure we will, between all of us here with ALASTAIR. We just need to be careful and work together.
