[Locked to Residents]

[Appearing on the journals is a written message as follows. A voice option is provided for a computerized reading of the text.]

Attention Luceti Residents.

The following names are being called to participate in a strike against the cultist hordes:
[the names listed here appear on the journal.]

All subjects are required to arrive at the tunnels at 8AM on the 27th of March for deployment. All listed individuals are required to be present. Subjects will then be escorted to TERRACE for battle preparation and further details.

Target will be Region One, a former Malnosso stronghold, presently in cultist hands. Subjects are advised to prepare for combat in forested areas. Further information will be made available at TERRACE. Questions and answers will not be provided at this time.

[The Malnosso will not reply to this message, but everyone is free to use this post to discuss among themselves, whether using voice options on the journal or doing action threads.]

I know it's not.

[The words sound hollow even as he says them. It doesn't matter what this mission is like - the reality is, too much of it is outside his control. He put a bullet in Steve's head last time, for God's sake. If he couldn't protect his family, what is he supposed to do about Henry?]

I've got no doubt. Keep me updated?

I'm concerned about that too. I'll try talking some sense into him, but you know how stubborn he is.

Yes. I'm thrilled.

[She sounds positively joyful, with that dry deadpan. Marco's rubbing off on her it seems]

It's good to take whatever advantage you can get. Can you recover it on the draft?

[She sips more tea]

As soon as I know, you and Steve will have the information compiled and in your hands.

If not, I guess I'll have to keep him in my nest - or Barton's. Maybe once he sees what it's like he'll agree to go back.

Thanks Peggy. I dunno if the kid will stay put, but we'll do what we can to talk some sense into him in the meantime.

We should take sandwiches. Have a picnic.

[He smiles a little at the question and nods.]

I can store energy in threads, use it up later. I've got a few stocked up. As long as I can rest and eat and sleep, I can replenish whatever I use.

People rarely do what they're told. Especially when their friends are putting their lives on the line.

Point him out to me and I'll keep an eye on him as well. Having two sharpshooters on the lookout is better than one.

I was planning on packing fresh dango. I think I can manage sandwiches.

[Her head bobs in understanding]

Good. If it comes to it, I'll make sure you have time to rest. As Mars, I do not need to sleep, eat, or even breathe, really.

There's an idea. If he's using a bow, he'll need a place to fire from with a good view.

Cool. I'll bring pop and we'll be set.

[He raises an eyebrow at that and nods.]

Impressive. And here I didn't even inherit the fun parts of my bloodline.

Henry, would you be willing to help me with guard duty? I will require someone of keen hearing to watch my back.

Don't I know it.

Will do. Barton's got eyes out too. Henry can use a bow - if we can't keep him out of it, might be best take turns keeping him with us.

And to make sure that those who have him keep to the third lines of defence.

The other children on the list - we need to find guardians for them as well; if they're also too stubborn to stay off the field.

It's less an inherited bloodline and more...something I was born. Or reborn, really, to do. I'm...not really an ordinary human.

But what...bloodline do you mean?

[Because that's new.]

I can look after Vanellope! She's my friend.

[Clementine's just going to assume you're her dad or caretaker or something. Why else would he care so much?]

[Beer. Thank god. Itachi, you are a savior.]

Thanks... [Rubbing his throat a bit.] Well, those who need it will appreciate it. Though gotta admit... there's a lot of newbies going on this one based on the network chatter.

... this is going to be a big one. I hope it doesn't turn out like the jungle draft. Recent developments have me concerned.

[You know the ones he's talking about. Law gave you his journal to see what Leonhardt had to say about the infiltration mission Law had been on last summer and the clusterfuck that unexpectedly had come of it.]

No problem. If there's anything else I can answer, let me know.

Right. Different worlds, different structures. Got it.

Thanks for the info, Daisy.

[For her part Adele arrives to the meeting early, with a thermos of tea for Law and a weary expression. At least those that were to be sent on the draft were those she's worked with before. Trusted to handle themselves well under pressure.]

That was quite the announcement, Dr. Law.

There are a handful of captains in the village. You may need to be a touch more specific.

[They are seriously gossiping over the network after a draft announcement.

What is their life?]

[Close enough.]

Oh really? Think you can keep an eye on the runt, huh? [You look pretty tiny yourself.] I dunno... Do you think you can handle it?

I have an idea. I'll give you a hint, you guess, and I'll tell you if you're right.

He's quite flirtatious.

He has also offered a very comprehensive description of what there is to expect- it may be to your benefit to read that over before the meeting. It will give you a better idea of what it is you may see or what might be asked of you.
