[It's about an hour after the messages from Curufin and his mother. Your self-proclaimed leader is ready to 'lead' at you.]

Alright, we all heard the warning. Team leads, check in with your teammates both new ones and those who have been here awhile. We need people to volunteer making packs like the last mission for rations and supplies for everyone. Those with first-aid training should offer refresher courses or introduction demonstrations as we have some new people on board.

What kind of abilities and powers do we have on board that could assist with people who might be freezing? We need to brainstorm quick ways to make either potions or devices that we can give or use to prevent hypothermia.

They never give us much time with these things, so let's get on this.


[Second message not too long after the first.]

If anyone with a taser used it last mission and needs it fixed, let me know. If you'd like a taser, also let me know. These are specifically for those who aren't accustomed to fighting.

I'll be fine. I'm not exactly eager to get buried under an avalanche again, so I'll be careful.

[Conan waves that off.]

They dug me out at the fifteen minute mark. It was fine. But like I said, that's not an experience I intend on repeating.

[Conan sighs.]

If you must have the rest of the story.

There were bombs on a dam nearby. I started the avalanche to divert the flood away from the nearest town. But my snowboard's motor failed just as the avalanche started and I got caught in it.

I'll admit that that day was a little worse than normal.

"I find several murders a week," Conan informs him. "Often at least one happens while I am there. And that's not counting all the times I have been present at hijackings, kidnappings, arson cases and robberies. The only things that made that day worse than usual was the sniper and the bombs."

A pause.

"Being tasered wasn't very pleasant either."

He immediately scowls.

"Why is that always the first thing people ask? Some of the more superstitious police officers back home keep suggesting I'm cursed or haunted by a shinigami. Which is nonsense, of course."

"It's always been like this for me." He really wasn't sure what to do about that comment about people who liked him. "I think everyone at home is just used to it by now. Except for those times I get involved in something more dangerous than usual."

Conan didn't believe in curses or bad luck.

But he also didn't believe in coincidences. And he could read a pattern when he saw one.

"At home? A week at most." There had been more than a few days when it had been hours at best.
