...If that fog ever comes back, just do me a favor and shoot me first.

[And that's all she has to say there.

But a few people will be receiving text portions locked individually to them, most of them reading the exact same:]

[At the sound of his voice, she's leaning back away from the stove, then reaching up to use the unlit top to pull herself up.]

Actually, nothing. [Shepard leans casually against the counter now.] I was going to ask if you had any thoughts about the meeting. Things you didn't want to say in front of the crowd. People you're not sure we can trust.

[She's trying to get a feel for things to know what her next step might be, and gathering opinions from the people she's a little more sure about is her first course of action.]

[He thinks for a moment.]

No one that I saw. But I'll keep an eye out.

[action]

[femshep]

Appreciated.

Have you got any thoughts on the strategics we tossed around? ['We' meaning 'the whole group', not just she and Vegeta.]

[tailless]

[He nods, thinking fairly quickly.]

The early warning system is a good idea. We would need some sort of sentry, and the ability to rig up an alarm system in the immediate area.

Staying on the move is... probably not desirable. We'd be too separated, too far apart. We're too few in number and don't have a secure manner of communication.

We'd need radios, but without knowing what frequencies are being monitored, that won't do us any good.

[He's still getting used to the concept of things being subtle. At least he's given up on trying to attack the dome again, though.]

[femshep]

So what it all comes down to, then, is we need to set up untapped communications methods and find somewhere secure and discreet to bunker down and fortify. Agree or disagree?

[action]

[tailless]

Agreed.

[action]

[femshep]

Any ideas on where?

[action]

[tailless]

[He shakes his head.]

Our best bet would be looking for a scrapyard.

We'd have to have it be a small party. Less suspicion, that way. Two, three people at most.
