[Video] Egret Day 7, Morning

[wizard_redfive]

[As much as Dairine kinda wants to run right out to see what new space adventures await, there has been one issue nibbling at her mind for a while.]

[She really would have preferred to hold off on this until she had a working prototype to show off, but life comes at you fast. Ugggh. Being responsible is a pain. With a grimace, she flicks on the ICP.]

Hey.

So I've heard about our communication devices here. [A sour face.] A bit limited in their design, as far as I'm concerned. But we can get to that later.

It's come to my attention that neither the ICP or SCA have communication options once we leave the train. Which is, you know, a big deal? If we're heading straight into a combat situation, our teams have to be able to coordinate, right?

I have some ideas in the works for future options, but we kinda need a solution right now. Even a temporary one will do.

Well team? What've you got?

Is communication going to be a problem for this? Because I might have some ideas for that.

It'll be a little clunky, but it should be totally untraceable.

[wizard_redfive]

Honestly, I'm not sure. If the space force is as advanced as the briefing seems to imply, they should have their own system that we could use. But I wouldn't risk putting our eggs all in one basket here.

Untraceable, huh? Let's hear it.

[Because even if the ideas don't pan out for this mission, some more covert lines of communication could be very handy, especially on the train.]

[les_magique]

I'm a wizard. I can do magic.

I know a spell that lets me make a mark that is sort of like a eyeball that I can see through. And hear through. So I guess it's like an eyeball and an ear. And then I also have a spell that lets me project an image of myself elsewhere that will mimic my actions perfectly. It can talk too.

So...if I gave every team a plate or something that had both of these spells etched on them, I could pass messages back and forth without too much trouble.

[PLUS if she does this she'll be somewhere safe and away from all the guys with weapons, which sounds just fine to her.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Ah, another wizard! While Dair is pretty sure they're not from the same world (few wizards she knows refer to it as "magic"), she'll still give the standard greeting.]

Well met, cousin. You've got good company here.

[Dairine considers.]

So projected senses? That could work.

It seems there's already an option on the table for team leads. But it you'd like, we could trial your plates with other volunteers. It'd be worth having our choice of comms, especially if the teams have to split up at all.

[les_magique]

Metaphorical cousin, I'm assuming?

[Samata shrugs.]

I'm figuring things out as I go, so I probably wouldn't WANT to be the lynch pin of all our communication yet. We're still in the prototype phase.

[wizard_redfive]

[Ah. Another world's kind of wizard indeed.]

Yup, you got it. "Cousin" is what wizards call each other where I'm from.

Well... when we're being both formal and friendly.

[Dairine offers a slight grin.]

I think we're all figuring it out on the fly, so you're not alone there either.

I'd rather not have any single lynch pin in our communication plans. Best not to have all our eggs in one basket.

[She'll still be experimenting with her own possible solutions once the dust settles.]
