[Mulan meant for this to be voice but she hit the wrong button by accident, and now is too tired to either notice or care what setting she's on. Possibly both.

She's sitting on the end of her bed, long hair lank and messy, face wan and exhausted. Her voice is weary when she speaks.]

I am grow tired of seemingly always making these calls for the same reason.

[She pauses, sighing and catching her breath.]

But here we stand once again in the aftermath of a calamity. At least I hope it is the aftermath. After these last few days, it's hard to imagine it could be getting any worse.

I want to check on my allies. Some of you I know were injured, or put into harm's way. Others I have not heard from at all. Please. Talk to me.

[The camera is pointed at the ceiling. Loki just didn't bother fussing with the settings before he answered, and he's too busy feeling sorry for himself to pick it up. He sounds hoarse and crabby. ...More than usual.]

Alive. Terrible magic-head. That is all.

[Kerra doesn't bother with the journal this time. She's home, and she'd taken time off to collect herself, mostly holing up in her bedroom. But seeing that from Mulan shakes her out of her stupor and she pulls on a bathrobe before shambling over to her housemate's door and knocking.]

Mulan?

[Sharon's reply comes later, the feed filled with birdsong, sunlight, and a view of the downed Raptor. Grease-smudges, messy hair, and sweatstains down her cheeks mark the Cylon as someone who's clearly been roughing it for the last week, but her reply is steady and unbothered.]

I'm fine, Mulan. I wasn't in town when...whatever it was...went down, and I couldn't get back in. I've been sleeping in my ship.

What the frak happened?

I am not dead. Though I wish I was. At least then it would not hurt to breathe, and it is not as if I have not done it many times before, now.

[Smoke inhalation is a bitch. She's trying to levity, though, despite her raspy voice.]

Still in one piece. Not sure I can say the same for all the rioters I've had to chase.
