PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

[ See, that's what Sevika thinks, too. She sent expendable people, although sending away an actual doctor — that Romano guy — made that assumption slightly less certain. Chances are they'll never know, though, so she isn't keen to dwell on it. ]

Yeah, it'd be just our luck if Echo threw a few surprises in for fun as soon as we get invaded.

[ To avoid cursing them, she won't name a few ideas that spring to mind. But! The ink on her copy of the map looks dry now, meaning she's going to roll it up and stow it away. ]

Though I appreciate the map regardless of what happens.

[Max offers a slight nod as she starts to rise from her seat. As a man of few words, it's the perfect-sized conversation — straight to the point, all business. He appreciates it more than most people probably do. So:]

Mm. Try not to die.

[Translation: Be careful out there. Sevika can probably read between the lines, from a Zaunite to a Wastelander.]
