[Locked to Luceti residents]

[malnosso]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

...Temporary refuge and limited supplies? And we don't even know how many of them are coming?

I have a really bad feeling about this. We better get to planning if we only have six hours.

Any Blue Rogues hearing this message, we're going to call an emergency meeting, at barracks, in fifteen minutes. We're going to be busy this morning...

Roger.

[Muttered, almost an afterthought.]

... It's the Outer Colonies all over again.

[Worst of all, she is trained to end authentic threats. Mendez had only warned them that things could be different on the field. Refugee situations and riots are too different.]

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

I'm gonna be counting on you, Daisy. Probably don't have to tell you, but if our supplies are gonna be cut off... make sure you got all the ammo you can get.

I doubt we'll need it, but we don't know what kind of people we're dealing with yet. With any luck, this will be peaceful.

[Video]

[daisy023]

Yes, sir. I understand.

[Which means, securing every piece of ammunition gained. Most importantly make sure none of the refugees have access to any of it.

She remembers the ViDocs of the food riots of the Outer Colonies. The refugee situations of Covenant glassings.]

Captain. I offer to be one of the hunters. I'm one of the best shots in the enclosure, and we'll need the food. I won't be far, and I'll still be in touch.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Sounds good. Once we get done with the meeting, you may want to get a head start on that while we still have time. As long as we have refrigeration or at least salt, we should be able to make it last.

[Video]

[daisy023]

Yes, sir. We'll find ways to preserve the food. We have ways to get impromptu energy. For now we worry on getting enough resources.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Yeah. We don't know how long it'll be like this. And if there's a couple hundred refugees coming in... we're gonna need a lot.

...When you go hunting, Daisy. Be careful of Moro. I doubt she'll cause you any trouble given the circumstances, but we may have to promise we use everything we kill. I have no doubt we will, but don't put yourself at risk if she confronts you.

[The Spartan is prepared to wait for as long as necessary. War is rarely favorable to all sides. Even now, she remembers the giant wolf Charlotte once talked her about. The Spartan understands the dangers of her mission.]

Waste will not be tolerated in situation... But I understand. If I face her, I'll find a way out of it.

[Nothing]

[Leonhardt doesn't directly respond to Adell, but he'll be at that meeting in exactly 15 minutes after Adell's own broadcast.]

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

[Not exactly a Blue Rogue, but--]

If there's ever a time for emergency volunteers, I'd say now qualifies. Put me wherever you need me, Adell.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Yeah, I'm gonna need all the hands I can get on this.

First, I know you're not running the Welcome Center anymore, but we need that housing ledger. We need to find space for all of these people coming in so they can live comfortably. We're also going to need them to sign up for where they're gonna be living too.

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

I can do that, no problem. If need be, we can make use of the Rec Center and Barracks, as temporary crash spaces, as well as what extra beds are available at the clinic.

I also have a couple of rooms to spare in my own house.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

I think we should avoid using the clinic as a crash space... they might need the overflow there from the hospital in the Battle Dome. They might need those beds for the wounded, considering they did just get out of a war zone.

But the Rec Center and Barracks being used for extra space if needed is a great idea. If we can get some sleeping bags or something.

Also, we should probably ask volunteers to offer up their spare rooms to house refugees if they're willing.

[Video]

[mistlegacy]

[No hesitation here.]

I have two I can offer up. They just gained the modification that they'll be self-repairing, too. Not that I'm anticipating that will be needed right now, but you never know.

[trueknight]

[He's a little afraid to ask, but--]

Adell, how many Rogues do you still have around?

[Video - Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Less than ten. Probably six or so, including myself. Rydia also volunteered to help. Recruitment drives have gone pretty dry lately considering we haven't been needed.

I'm glad you contacted me, I was about to call you about this. I think we're going to need to make a joint group for something this big.

[Video - Filtered]

[trueknight]

[... Wow, his guild is bigger than the Rogues. Almost twice as big, in fact. That's ...]

... Yeah, we'll definitely need to. I'm still a little shaky on the numbers myself, but I'm pretty sure we've got at least thirteen, maybe fourteen on my end. Probably still not enough, but if more than just Rydia volunteers, we should be all right.

[Video - Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Yeah, other than the supply shortages, I don't anticipate too much trouble. We just need to put fires out if they show up and keep what supplies we have protected.

I really only think we're going to have serious tension problems if the food stores run out. I mean, these people are in the same boat we are, anyway.

[Video - Filtered]

[trueknight]

Not to mention they're most likely scared. We don't know what kind of people we're getting in here, either.

[... But he can't be completely open about how suspicious he is in this situation, so he keeps his mouth shut about his opinions beyond that.]

So long as we try to make them feel comfortable here as soon as we can, things should be all right. Probably won't stay that way, but it'd give us more time to prepare ourselves for any problems that might turn up.

[Video - Filtered]

[vulcanblazer]

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure things will sour for sure, but we should prepare for if they do. I'd much rather over-prepare and end up with a bunch of good, honest folk than be caught unready.

...But we also have to be ready to protect them if one of ours starts something too. A spark might not just set the refugees off, after all.

[Video]

[stilldontgotit]

I'll be there in five, tops.

Think we'll have more to talk about than just the refugees and supplies, though. This whole situation's a disaster waiting to happen.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Food riots, overcrowding tensions, and a potential rise in crime? Yeah. I can see where that might cause problems, so we're gonna need to prepare.

And we have to be prepared in case one of our people is in the wrong too.

[Video]

[stilldontgotit]

I think it'd be pretty easy for both sides to jump to conclusions. We're going to have to keep our heads on straight if we're going to make this work. Especially since we don't know who we're dealing with just yet.

[Video]

[vulcanblazer]

Well, don't forget, these people come from an enclosure like this one. In a sense, they're not much different than we are. And if they're anything like the people here, most of them are going to be good, if not, reasonable people. If we treat them well, that'll help things.

...That said, we should prepare for the worst. Better to be over-prepared than caught with your pants down.

[Video]

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah, I'm not saying we should treat them to suspicion from the get-go. Where will that even get us? Us vs. them situations only make things more complicated, and that's the last thing we need.

But you're right about preparations. I guess we can hope for the best but expect the worst.
