[for once, it's an audio message. he prefers not to make them simply because it makes it easier to track him. but this time, he wants to take that risk, regardless of any negative attention it might bring. that's partly the point of this
he isn't at "home", for once. instead he's off alone, taking another look around the remains, having already knock down a few buildings that he consider uninhabitable. but it's the smell that's prompted this message. the stench of rotting and burned flesh that brings back memories he'd sooner ignore right now
this really isn't something he particularly wants to do. but with onlythree five mutants here, he knows there isn't much of a choice any more. not when he knows he's the only one of their little group who'd willingly kill others if they're a threat. it's his job to make sure they stay safe, even if it means having to work with the humans here]
We have...lost a number of those amongst us over the past few months; both native to this land and not. More recently of course, a fire and a stampede a to blame, and once again we were caught off-guard. It seems to be a recurring theme here, regardless of whatever attempts at preparing ourselves we have made.
[and that doesn't include those they've lost by being brought here in the first place]
A certain member of our non-native population previously suggested that we group together. That organisation is needed. I'm sure that this past week has helped to reiterate that fact.
[yes, he's talking about you shepard. but no, he's not using names openly on this network]
Damage control is needed, at the very least. A defence would be better. Something to protect those here against whatever dangers make themselves apparent next.
[but that's not the part he most interested in. he's never been a pacifist. that's charles' job]
And to those willing to take the risks needed, an offensive team. We need to prepare ourselves, however possible. The Authorities will continue to hold the power in this situation until we take it from them. We need to be ready to fight.
Whichever path you choose, the important thing to remember is that there isn't a single person here capable of doing that single-handedly.
[one last pause and-]
You're not alone. Not unless you choose to be.

[this message gets added on a while later, and somewhat reluctantly. sometimes you just need to man up and talk to your bff when something is wrong]
Can you hear me?
[it's as close as he's getting to asking charles to listen in to his thoughts this time]

permatext;
I'm kinda curious, though, because I was told that this network wasn't secure and also that the Authority guys aren't really into us having actual organization out here and tend to aggressively neutralize anyone who's a threat. Aren't you, you know... worried about that?
