[Video | 005: A Quest Arrow Appears!] Monday Evening, Week 12

[pepperspray]

[To say that Pepper's looking like she's been over twenty miles of bad road is really just stating the truth at this point. (And underselling it -- it's been a lot more than twenty miles, all totalled.). Still, she's back in town, her apartment's spartan furnishings visible behind her as she lays claim to a couch that's seen better days but is, blessedly, not a horse.

There remains a businesslike gleam to her eyes all the same: Pepper, it appears, has A Plan.]

I haven't managed death by horse, thanks largely to Captain Rogers and Dr. Banner, and I've got potential good news on the food situation. However, it's not really straightforward, and not really something to discuss over the network.

What I can say is that we've been asked to retrieve some goods as payment, that I have a map, but that it's very old, and that I've been warned about hazards in the location. So, while I can bring this to you, it's not something I can honestly handle myself.

If you're interested in either going along with or leading an expedition to do some treasure hunting, let me know. And if you have experience with translating very old maps, I'd very much like to hear from you. I'll be at my apartment for, um... well, let's just say that not moving sounds like an absolutely amazing idea right now.

Well, most of me, anyway. I keep having this sneaking suspicion that parts got knocked loose over some of the bumpier bits...

[Pepper's smile is wry and she shifts a little on her couch, visibly uncomfortable despite attempts to mask it.]

But if you've got some time to come over and, um, apply that specialty, I have the map with me. I also have someone with potential for aerial reconnaissance if that will help at all.

How much help it would be will depend on a number of factors - if the destination would even be visible from the air being chief among them - but having some grasp of the lay of the land before anyone goes charging in is always wise.

[She glances over her shoulder briefly.] Would an hour from now be soon enough?

[pepperspray]

An hour would be ideal -- it will give me a chance to try and get things a little more pulled together over here. Do you take tea?

[Video | Private]

[relicrebellion]

Of course. I believe there are studies showing that tea is one of the requirements for a fully-functioning civilization.

[A joke? Probably.]

[Video | Private]

[pepperspray]

Certainly any civilization that needs me to be fully-functioning, even if coffee's better. I'll see you shortly, Dr. T'Soni.

[Joke? Received. Pepper dimples a little at Liara before signing off.]
