fifth scroll [video ; open - Thursday morning]

[Mulan's voice is muffled and part of her face is hidden behind the regulation gas mask she was issued at work, but for those that would recognize them her eyes and hair are still clearly visible. Likewise, the familiar armor that covers her upper body.]

For those of you that are more recent arrivals - I'm aware there are a few of you - it is to be advised you avoid coming into contact with the strange mists that have been filling the area the past couple of days. Breathing in this air can cause you to experience unpredictable and dangerous effects. [Her muffled voice turns even more grim and her eyes flash darkly as she recalls her own personal encounter with the fog's abilities, and she hurries on past giving herself time to reflect.] Though not everyone reacts the same, it can dangerous to your health for a multitude of reasons. The best course of action would be to remain indoors if you can, and avoid them completely.

If there are any small errands or tasks that would otherwise bring you out, I would be willing to undertake them for you. Obviously I can't get to everyone, but I'd like to help if I can, as much as possible.

The good news is that if I'm reading the signs right, there seems to be a storm brewing for later today. Hopefully it will be enough to blow all of this accursed fog away, so we can all breathe safely once more.

A good idea. Thank you for offering. I'll do what I can to bring anyone I meet your way, should I find them in an altered state.

Maybe with a little luck, your assistance won't end up being necessary. So far I haven't heard of any injuries.

[damn_it_jim]

You count on luck, I'll have an isolation room standing by in case the universe doesn't deliver. Has anyone taken a sweep up by the ship?

[He shakes his head, lips pinching with speculative irritation.]

It would be just the thing to have some clueless new arrival wake up and walk straight out into it.

[girlworthfighting]

If I can't make it up that far today, I'll try to get one of the other rangers to go and look. [Way to get that idea into her head, Bones.] We've had many new arrivals lately. Maybe we're due for a reprieve.

[damn_it_jim]

If we got reprieves just because we were due them, I'd be sitting on a tropical beach surrounded by beautiful women and drinking something fruity that kicks like a mule. And yet here we are...

[Bones looks wry at this future never to be his, but gives her a quick nod of approval from out the middle of it.]

Keep me informed of anything that could benefit from medical attention. And you watch yourself, too. Sensible people are rare enough around here that it'd be a shame to lose you, even temporarily.

[girlworthfighting]

Thanks for the compliment. [A little wry, but not indignantly so. She's practical but not entirely cynical, so someone like Bones takes things above and beyond her standard.] I have many things to do, as you can imagine, but if anything changes I'll be sure to keep you informed.

[damn_it_jim]

I'll be here. Waiting. Someone's bound to do something stupid, it's a universal law.

[With that parting benediction, Bones sketches her a wave that starts near his temple and is vaguely a salute before he ends the call.]
