Imagination 13, video

[tactlesstantei]

[Masumi looks a little tired when the video starts, but that’s not stopping her from doing this once everyone is back on the train.]

That was...a mess. Some of us had to be evacuated from the mission, myself included, and I think the emergency evacuations exposed a major problem with the train layout. As of now, our one medical carriage is eighteen carriages away from Luggage, which is where people evacuate to. That’s way too far, since some people might not be able to make it all the way there on their own and trying to give medical aid in Luggage is unwieldy at best. At this point it might be best to suggest a second medical carriage, closer to Luggage, but if we can’t get that then trying to get the train to move Medical closer to Luggage would be an okay alternative.

[She pauses here, before moving on to the second topic she’d wanted to talk about.]

I also wanted to mention Fight Club. Missions can turn bad quick, as we just had happen on Nion, and earlier, during the mission on Terra. [Don’t ask her about that one.] I think more people should consider going to Fight Club, since there’s going to be more dangerous missions and we need to at least be able to protect ourselves if things go bad.

[Nita nods.]

It's worked before.

[Maybe not every time, but in recent memory...]

Gimme a few minutes - and-

[She has to ask.]

How have you been?

[Tired or exhausted, is part of the expected answer - but then, that went for most everyone today.]

[tactlesstantei]

Thanks for helping with this. I’d like if we could get this before the next mission, so the more people asking for another medical carriage the better.

[She’s genuinely grateful for the help in getting this, since more people asking for the same thing should hopefully make it clear that this is something they want.

On being asked how she’s been, Masumi sighs, apparently not up for trying to say she’s completely fine after everything that happened.]

I’m fine, just tired.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[With a nod, Nita makes a mental note to keep an ear out for more posts like this.

Council or no council, it's always good to help.]

Think that goes for all of us.

You... we didn't lose track of more people during the battle, did we? I know we can check the roster, but-

Anyone you know you saw on the mission who's got a gold name there?

[Call her paranoid, but after the last mission...]

[tactlesstantei]

...I don't think so. I haven't had a chance to look at the roster lately, but I don't recall losing track of anyone.

[She'd have to double check that just to be sure, but as far as she's aware no one she knows has gone missing since the mission. She hopes that holds true too, as losing people right after that mission would just be an even harsher blow after what just happened.]

[unfavorableinstigation]

That's... better than it could be, I guess.

[She sighs. She's been doing that a lot lately, it feels like.]

If there's anything you need help with, lemme know. I'm guessing we'll have some time to breathe before the next platform...

[tactlesstantei]

Alright, I’ll make sure to say something if I need help.

[It’s ambiguous if she’ll actually ask for help or not, but at least the acknowledgement is there. Now it’s up to Masumi to keep that promise.]

I really hope nothing really big happens for a while. I think we all need a break after that.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Could go either way.

[Nita makes a wry face.]

Especially now we've said it aloud. But only so much drama can happen in a month...

[Time and space have natural limits, after all.]

[tactlesstantei]

Yeah, let's not jinx it. I don't want any more drama right now.

[Masumi laughs a bit, trying to ease some of the worry over what might come next. Still, the worry is there, given that even if there is no mission for a while there might be something else, like that voidstorm not so long ago.]
