∞ 79: A post-battle report [written]

Everyone drafted out to Desset City should be accounted for by now. My gratitude to those who successfully worked together while we were out there.

I am sure there are residents and recent arrivals who may have questions about the situation and what we encountered out there. As longer-term residents may remember, we first encountered an army of cultists last autumn -- these cultists are referred to as the Third Party. The members of the Third Party, unlike us, have the ability to fly and Shift their surroundings. The scientists keeping us in this barrier, the Malnosso, drafted several of us to head out to another settlement.

We have been told that Desset City, the location we were sent to, was one of several settlements outside of our village. It was unlike anything seen within our barrier prison. The troops we met were an occupational force, maintaining patrols and one major base of operations that became apparent towards the end of our campaign. Despite the Third Party having a greater number of troops, we prevailed. The arrival of electricity and appliances coincide with our successful return.

Of note is the fact that draftees who initially refused were dragged by force onto the battlefield. These reluctant draftees were given less time to prepare, and included the likes of children. If you are drafted in the future, be aware that refusal does not appear to be a valid option. You will be taken and put to work, or you will be killed out there.

The New Feather cycle should begin shortly, so everyone should be on alert and maintaining their patrol schedules. This is especially important with the heightened amount of conflict in Luceti. Patrols should be properly equipped for skirmishes by now, so I'll forgo any other needless reminders.

I would like to have a word with the Organization's CEO.

[... Oh right. She'll just give him a nod then. At least the room is right nearby. So she'll walk carefully to it, doing her best to make sure the robe doesn't trail on the floor or anything.]

[She makes it there without incident. Contacting the others comes first, so she retrieves her journal to send the necessary messages, then closes it tightly, leaving it on the desk before sinking down on the bed. Drying off came next - Raine slowly unwraps the towel from her head. Still damp, but not dripping. Might as well use it to wipe the excess water from her feet.

She'll have to get back up to get something dry to wear at some point. What a hassle.]

[And that dryer is still on. Raine slowly dries the rest of herself off. But still wearing the robe. It's oddly comfy.

...

She really needs to get back up. Slowly, she pushes her way back onto her feet. At least getting dressed isn't something that's going to take a lot of time. Though at this point it's probably best to opt for some kind of sleepwear. Or just some comfortable, reasonable clothes like she usually wears.]
