[72] - [Voice]

[Crane sounds somewhat breathless.] Do we still have the capacity to bring people back from the dead? Or are we facing something more permanent? And are there any signs that bites from the faceless creatures cause ill effects?

[Pause.] And after people are finished considering that, I'm pinned down by these things on the second floor, if anyone is willing or able to help.

[Private - Eddie]

Are you still alive? Is your room locked? I like to imagine that you've got a secret cache of weapons, as unlikely as that is. But at the very least, I'm going to need that knife. If only to treat this bite.

[Private - Perry]

Considering how often we talk about alliances, this is a good opportunity to actually act on it.

Well, are you going to help me? Or should I just magically make the things out there disappear?

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I would if I could. Unfortunately, I'm as stuck as you are right now.

Private

In the CES? I heard some people were going down to the engine room, so there's a slight chance this might be resolved. And by slight I mean almost non-existent.

Additionally, if the Admiral does return? I think that you should request weapons for both of us. Clearly there's need for them.

Private

No. Simply stuck.

The engine room? Brave souls, I imagine.

And no. You're not getting weapons. I have some. Just...not with me.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You're lucky. At least you don't have things trying to eat you.

Brave and stupid. I'll be surprised if they get anywhere.

Are they in your room? Is there any way to get in there?

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

If I kept them in my room, do you think I would te-shit! [And there's some clattering noises on the other end before he's back.]

Not now, Crane.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to stay alive. And where are you? Are there faceless things around?

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about me, Crane. You focus on getting out and getting somewhere safe.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

And how am I supposed to do that? I can't ask them nicely to go away.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Then fine. Get yourself killed.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for your poor wardening.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, I'm glad we have that cleared up.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Quite. Hopefully you'll be ambushed by the faceless creatures.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I appreciate the sentiment.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'd hoped you would.
