malnosso | [Locked to Luceti residents]

[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.

[Word will come no longer than an hour later.]

I have a location. Still with me?

[And she had her journal nearby just for this very reason.]

Sure am. Where?

Start looking behind the grocery store. I'll meet you there.

Gotcha.

[And the feed cuts out. She's already on her way there.]

[And he'll be there. Knowing how she senses things, he's already moved on ahead to the spot (still in the line of the grocery, but think further in distance than the nearby playground). She should be able to find him quickly.]

[He isn't hard to find, with her bending still intact. She reflects on how the same task wouldn't be quite so easy the next day, but she tries to not let it get to her. Instead, she walks right up to Shikamaru with a confident gait.]

This the place?

[Shikamaru taps his foot against the ground.]

Twenty meters down, according to Kiba.

[She stand still for a moment, peering into the ground, before she nods.]

It's down there. How are you gonna get it out?

I'll rig up a rope and bucket. We can't get ahead or ourselves, though. Besides digging the hole, we'll need to seal the sides of the well to keep dirt from falling in. And the water will need to be treated.

[She nods. She knows her part, at least.]

Right, well, down we go.

[So she starts bending, uprooting huge mounds of earth with one-two swipes of her hands.]

[Shikamaru moves back to give her her space to work, without getting himself crushed too.]

[Yes, watch your head for flying dirt clods, because she isn't being too careful--she's working fast.]

How bad do you think it's gonna be?

The drought?

[As he causually moves his head to avoid getting beaned.]

The drought, the refugees--the whole thing.

I'm no weather expert, but with the flood we had in June it wouldn't take much rain to fix this. If a fire starts, it'll be a bigger issue.

The refugees... a week.
