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

[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.

[While Lyall has never really been the adventuring type, he has to admit to being curious. First, though: manners.]

Welcome back, Miss Potts. I should not expect you tomorrow at the hospital, then?

[Perhaps there's the faintest bit of a tease in there. Just a tiny bit. Lyall is not the best with humor, but he does try now and then with people he feels comfortable with.]

[The background is dark - Liara's taking a turn underground today, apparently.]

It's good to see you returned safe.

As for old maps, those are something of a specialty of mine. As, for that matter, is determining geographical locations in geography that has shifted over the course of centuries.

Millennia, really, given my particular field, but the principles are similar.

[This is Chime's first attempt at using this odd thing, but he thinks he's got the idea.]

Would it help to have someone flying?

I'm certainly willing to join such an expedition, although I'm certain that I don't know enough about the situation here yet to consider leading.

[Still, it wouldn't be so dissimilar from the sort of thing she'd done with Hawke, she imagines.]

Would it be possible to see the maps? [ Either in a picture if visiting and peeping is out of the question ]

[ Boy it was good to hear that she came back safe and sound. Eliot was beginning to wonder if those bandits had caused more problems. ]

Well, nothin' burned down while you were gone. [ Said lightly, but there was a serious undertone beneath the drawl. ] Welcome back, ma'am.

And sounds like you need a retrieval specialist.

And it is assured that the goods will lead to food?

The offer is always open, if you need me.

And I can't make any promises about the map but I do know basic surveying.
