Who wants to play a game of Diamondback with me?

If you're worried about knowing the rules, we can run through a test game before starting with the actual gambling. But, Varric taught Scruffy to play, so I'm sure you'll all manage fine.

It's the fourth Sunday of Lent, which means it's Mother's Day. At least, it is in the UK.

It's odd, that even though I have lived in the States for years, I was always able to order Mum flowers, or call her to wish her Happy Mother's Day. But, here, I can't even do that.

[Away Team]

I am going to be happy when we're back on solid ground.

[Fitz and Daisy]

I do much prefer these uneventful trips into space. It makes a nice change.

[Board, Department Heads + Management]

Whatever it is that BNU did, they have a large amount of captives. Or at least 28 people all being kept in a small area of the compound on Rhea. Which makes them more likely to be hostages or prisoners of some description.

We obviously were not quite equipped to break them out. So, I'll leave that up to Rose and Aranea to organise.

[Anyone Who Has Stopped By or Sent Thoughts]

Thank you for your consideration for my family during this time.

[SadTech + Refugees]

SadTech employees and associates are advised of a company travel ban to Atira for security reasons. Anyone currently planning a trip to the asteroid for personal reasons is strongly counseled to rearrange their itinerary. Business plans will be reassessed by a combination of Legal + Diplomacy, Transportation and Security.

[Thea]

You didn't issue any threats.

[Board + Security + Intel + Legal + Diplomacy + Transportation]

The words 'shoot on sight' were used. I'm not inclined to bow to threats, but I'd also rather not enter a war on multiple fro impulsively.

[Thedosians + Lorna Dane]

I'm very sorry. Let me know of anything I can do.

[Su]

I'm certain I saw a bottle of wine on the counter.

[Texts to Medical]

>> Prep for a medical emergency
>> Neria's been hurt
>> There's a lot of blood

[Texts to Thedosians]

>> Cullen, you're going to have a mabari incoming.
>> You're both going to want to meet us in Medical.
>> Neria's hurt.

[Texts to Security + Intel]

>> Someone just attacked Neria just outside the barrier at [LOCATION].
>> Someone might want to go check it out.

[OOC: this is after the meeting called in Thea's post, potentially before the news alert or just after.]

REFUGEES+

If you pay any attention at all to the news, you know there's some shit going down. I'm not going to lock down the compound yet, but I'm asking that you all be fucking careful. Don't go out along, pay very close attention to your surroundings at all times. Self defense lessons wouldn't go amiss for those of you who aren't badasses already, whether you get someone you feel comfortable with to teach you or you ask me or Shepard or Diego to teach you some moves.

Use the buddy system no matter what, guys. No one is completely invincible. If you're planning to venture out alone – fucking don't. Ask security for an escort if you don't want to take a friend.

SECURITY

I'm doubling patrols, effective immediately. You should have your new schedules in the next five minutes.

Ed Ed

Might be busy for a few days. Don't worry. I'm not going to get myself arrested or anything because we aren't getting caught.

[Compound]

I'd like to remind visitors to the kennels that our dogs are intelligent and well-trained and cared for, but they are working dogs. We're happy to have volunteers help with training, if you'd like to come by. Please don't feed them off schedule without consulting me first.

[Security Leadership + Shepard + Department Heads]

In the interests of honing our skills in light of recent events, I'm proposing an escort training exercise. It would essentially be a twist on the regular Capture the Flag with a living target to protect or capture. We might take volunteers from the compound to act as either cooperative or hostile targets.

Considering our prisoners, it may have other uses, as well.

[Gym Staff: Shepard + Katie Bell + Diego Hargreeves]

Roughly a year ago, one of the Pevensies brought up the suggestion of a tournament in the style of some of our old homes. Ben mentioned something similar more recently. It would be a long term project, most likely for some time in the summer months, if that seems feasible to you.

So, how many of us have stayed behind?

Call me paranoid, but I'm going to triple check the barriers.  I could use company.

Alright, losers, I'm booking us some space at Belleayre for the weekend of the 11th, but I'm going to need a headcount of who's interested in going so I can work things out with transport and know how many rooms to get us. If you weren't paying attention before, Belleayre is a sky resort, so obviously the main thing we'll be doing is skiing, but there will be chances for other kinds of fun and you can definitely, like, chill in front of the fire with some hot chocolate if that's more your thing.

Anyway, who's in? Let me know by Monday so I can get the reservation made and shit.

I was gonna take Pony to see Steve but he's not home. I can't find him and my messages are bouncing back. Just when I thought I think he may have been sent back.

So the other day I found out some people put butter in their coffee. Butter. In. Their. Coffee. Isn't that wild?
