[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.]

[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.

One I hope to never make again in such... length. [Ow, ow, ow. He's not used to talking at length at that.] Thank you. That is a blessing, Dr. LeBlanc. [Yes, totally in business mode today, with all the titles flying about.]

[Itachi got him a beer. It's still sore.]

With this on record we shouldn't have to repeat it- or I could simply do so next time. Spare you the effort. [She passes the tea along with a half smile- professional? Yes. Entirely. But not without a weary edge of humor.

Going into war, no matter how infrequent, was a stressful thing.]

[He can manage that weary edge.]

Well, I did make that New Year's resolution to be lazier for my own health. I might just take you up on it.

[He takes a sip. Oh seas, thank you. Better.]

You work far too hard- and from me that is certainly saying something. It wouldn't be a bother.

Thanks. I appreciate that more than you know.

[Long moments of just drinking and thinking.]

This is going to be a rough one, I hate to say. The Malnosso are being very ambitious this time. [He shakes his head.] An entire region? We could be out there for a long time. And that's the least of it.

I'm more concerned with what TERRACE is and how it is we'll be using that as a point of attack for a region. And...well. Should that illness pop up again we do have the cure Mordin left.

[If they were fortunate, they won't need it.]

I think if it pops up again, it's because Korras Blake is there [Patient zero - the source of the infection, Law knows from the reports in the aftermath.] and the contagion hasn't been eliminated from his system.

Even though I'm almost expecting him to show up... both we and the Malnosso have the remedy. It won't be Vaskoth.

[There is that note of hesitance because he's been thinking lately of another disasterous draft: The Jungle Draft.]

TERRACE is a flying Malnosso facility according to Albert Silverberg - military, basically a place for troop deployment and an airbase. Expect it to be very large, if the past is any indication, with a good civilian population as well. More like a flying island - we have those in my world, so it wouldn't shock me if it was an actual flying island. It's where the Organization's space research was supposedly carried out.

...a what?

[She was entirely on board to say something relevant and intelligent until she heard the word 'flying'. That sets her shoulders tight and has her locked up for a long moment in not quite but very near panic. A flying fortress.

Fuck.]

Flying fortress.

...

... Adele?

...I'm. I. I'm a. I suffer from acrophobia.

[Shit.]

We'll get you inside immediately. Somewhere where you won't be reminded of the height. Has there been anything that has helped before?

Ben- who's kidnapped, and I used to have medication for it but I don't know that it works on something quite that high- I usually sedate myself if I need to fly and that's never really happened before.

I see.

Okay. We'll avoid any open spaces for as long as we're up there, try the medication, and if that doesn't work, maybe Itachi can help you. Part of his abilities include extremely strong hypnotic capabilities.

He might be able to place a subconscious command in your mind to help keep at bay the fear enough that it can be bearable.

Even with that- I probably will not have a stable enough hand for anything requiring a delicate touch.

[She scrubs her face and swears.]

Flying island. Why is it a flying island. Last time it was zombies, this time we are airborne.

[Weary and wry.]

I'd like to say because they're saving a tropical paradise for us as a treat... but, our luck isn't that good.

Remind me to invite the medical staff for a beach cookout if we all survive this. We'll have earned it.

Trust me, I will. We won't just have earned it, we'll require it.

Fish, beer, the ocean. It'll be something to look forward to. Help us get through the draft.

Maybe we can even have some music. I do have a generator if somebody wants to bring a sound system down.

I've a record player and a fair collection of records.
