[The audio output from Chase's device clicks and rattles. To anyone on the desert side, occasional word-endings are lost in the background noise. Glass city dwellers might make out every third word.]

Odd, I don't remember joining Médecins Sans Frontières.

Calling it a fort lends it too much grandeur. There's a refugee camp out towards the edge of the city, some kind of Checkpoint Charlie set up behind it. It's cramped, it's hot, keeps some of the monsters out and none of the sand.

It's better than the desert.

[The rattling speakers give way to a rattling cough.]

The hospital finally caved in on itself this morning. Anyone who was helping evacuate patients, we're done. Nothing to go back for now. Anyone who stopped by to turn the place over without picking anyone up: lets hope you don't need help using that equipment.

Tried to get through to me? Try again. Apparently rewiring the device screws with your voicemail. I'd like to speak to someone who can tell me about the other city.

In the meantime... I'm on call.



[Locked to House + Wilson]

Where are you.

Morning, doctor.

[intheblanks]

Is it? I guess it must be.

[dignity_misery]

You've been running around being chivalrous again, haven't you.

Shining armour, in this heat? [-cough-] No need to be so disapproving.

[synanthrope]

Hello.

[intheblanks]

How are the cars.

[synanthrope]

It's for the best we don't talk about the cars.

[intheblanks]

I'm sorry for your loss.

For the record, I thoroughly checked the hospital for people. [Before taking anything.]

[intheblanks]

I'll put a star on the chart.

Are you a fucking idiot?

Re: : video:

[charring]

What? Why?

[eiremagic]

We're in the middle of a fucking crisis and you took fucking blood?

Oh, right, of course, no one was in there, but that's not the bloody point, is it? When someone bleeds out from a fucking monster bite and we can't save their fucking life because our stores got hijacked by a bloody idiot, who should I refer their fucking friends to?

[intheblanks]

There you are.

video:

[eiremagic]

Hunting down fucking supplies.

....you're all right, yeah?

[nohometown]

Do you need any assistance, Doctor?

video;

[intheblanks]

Not in the immediate. Are you around the camp?

[nohometown]

Delacroix and I have been searching the desert for those who are in need of aid, but I can reach the camp fairly quickly, if necessary.

[Oh Chase, you have no idea how relieved he is to see this. Or... well, you probably do. Because it's Wilson.]

I'm almost to the camp, I think.

[But only almost entirely relieved.]

You haven't seen House?

[ likewise locked ]

[intheblanks]

Cameron's in the other city.

[Most important things first, okay.]

Couldn't find House at the hospital. I assumed you'd be starting out from the same place.

[If not the hospital, their apartment. And the hospital was a bad option. Chase had tried looking for the both of them, and anyone else trapped too deep in the crumbling structure. He'd tried for a long time. But not everyone was found.]

[ likewise locked ]

[dr_conscience]

She all right? I haven't heard much about the other city.

[Oh good, so they were all separated.]

We didn't... and I haven't been able to get a hold of him.

If there's any way I could assist you, Doctor - supplies, setting up another fortification - I'd happy to be of service.
