[It's a softspoken man on the network tonight, one presently struggling to cope with a world of disappointment and anxiety. There's some stammering at the start of the message, but as he collects himself enough to share information, his cadence relaxes and grows more confident. This isn't about him right now. It's about everyone else.]


Pardon me -- if I could have everyone's attention for a moment? I'm sure we've all gotten a glimpse of what's gone on. I've some reason to believe that this might be a particular incident related to -- well -- that's not important. But I'd like to urge everyone to be mindful of the level of air presently available to you. As long as the number of available rooms continues to be infinite, it ought to be possible to make it through without incident as long as we stay in motion as necessary, provided that the doors continue to resist the rules of water pressure upon opening. I've done some calculations using what we know of the average unclaimed room. I believe that humans ought to be able to sustain themselves without incident for about eight hours without incident, though this is most likely variable for those of you with alternative physiologies. With that in mind, we may wish to consider that longterm planning might be an element to our survival. We may have to make efforts to organize our activities and movements to ensure we can all stay prepared for the week ahead of us.

Please be aware that since the oxygen-to-square-footage ratio provided is a rough estimate that may be impacted by people collecting together in groups, vigilance will also be important when it comes to recognizing the early signs of oxygen deprivation. If you notice an increase in heart rate or shortness of breath, please consider setting yourself into motion sooner rather than later. The same applies if you're with others and notice dilation of the pupils, or that they've started to display visible motor impairment.

I also hope that we can utilize the network to communicate distress when needed. I'll be in touch with a few of you soon with regards to some plans for relief and rescue.

Let's see if we can't all make it out of this in one piece, yeah?

Your webbing is water-insoluble. How much do you have on hand?

Please tell me that the answer is "a lot".

I hope it isn't gauche to contact you this suddenly, but I believe there might be some need of you soon.

Can I count on you?

[OOC: I think I'm also going to use this as Fitz's catch-all for the event this time around, so feel free to throw action-sized stuff in here too if we've discussed anything that ought to take place later on.]

[Anyone else then. Luckily, she doesn't argue semantics, and instead agrees.]

We should figure out a time and a specific place to meet. One near a room that still has air in it.

That's going to be the tricky part. Maybe it would be a good idea to gather a list of room numbers have been in, to avoid trying to seek refuge in one where the air is going to be thin.

With the dozens of people even on the lower floors? Do you really think they would all be so cooperative?

[Because while the idea is sound, Rip? Doesn't really have that much faith in the populus at large during this time of crisis, sad to say.]

Isn't it in all of our best interests to cooperate? Including those who might not otherwise be inclined.

Oh, most certainly. Yet that doesn't seem to always be reason enough to motivate people.

[Odd, perhaps. It's also sweet in its own way.]

Then we'll just...

[ Just what, Caitlin? You aren't the one who comes up with plans. ]

We'll just have to appeal to their better natures.

Their better natures.

[Yes, cute is definitely the right word to describe her optimism.]

Anyone who would go for that is likely to respond anyway. The ones who wouldn't are likely either too scared to think clearly, or the ones who truly don't care about anyone but themselves.

[Or anyone beyond a small circle of people--which would be the group Rip falls into.]

Appeal to their common sense before you try their common decency. You'll likely have much better luck.
