20.5

[The quakes continue.

It has been over 24 hours since the first major earthquake shook Union and the aftershocks have yet to relent. Though the majority are of a much lower magnitude than the original quake, the occasional rumble shakes the city with almost as much intensity. It is approximately one hour after one such occurrence that the Warp Band and the emergency broadcasts flicker to life once more of their own accord. The efficient voice sounds forth - there is a bit of strain noticeable this time...]


This is the Union emergency broadcast system with an ongoing assessment of the present situation. All citizens, please stop your activities and make note of the instructions given within.

Due to the unusually prolonged nature of the earthquakes, it has been determined that the current situation is unaccountable for by normal tectonic motion. While experts suggest that the most likely source is wild Pokémon activity, new developments have led the Council to suspect otherwise. A report from a group of Rangers searching for an iron mine describes the Eastern Mountains as the epicenter of the original earthquake; additionally, an unusual radio signal has been detected from this area. No radio towers have been constructed in this region.

In the face of the ongoing seismic activity and the immediate dangers presented to Union, the Council has determined that it is of the utmost priority for the quakes to stop. At this time, all able-bodied individuals willing and capable of mounting an expedition are asked to travel immediately to the Eastern Mountains to investigate. If the radio signal is determined to be related to the earthquakes, the Council requests that it be blocked by any means.

All supplies for these expeditions will be provided by the Outpost, free of charge.

For those unable or unwilling to leave Union at this time, a significant amount of work remains to be done. The following are updates concerning the present status of Union:

Currently, the foundations of Sector 3 have been damaged to a sufficient extent such that the towers may become structurally unsound. All residents in the Sector 3 towers should therefore prepare for evacuation. All residents are expected to vacate their homes within the space of 2 hours, following which Swords and Guardsmen will be making rounds. Temporary shelters are being constructed in the Entertainment District.

Thanks to the efforts of all involved, the wild Pokémon situation has been improving, though vigilance and caution must still be exercised around the Old City entrances. While accommodations cannot be made for all individuals, calm Pokémon may be taken to the Habitat Tower for temporary housing. The majority of Pokémon now appear to be coming from Entrance 6 and Entrance 8 into the Old City.

While the eastern mountains are considered higher priority, the Council also asks that those who wish to stay in Union investigate the Old City for a possible cause as to the fear of these Pokémon. While the continued quakes make investigation dangerous, the interval between quakes has never been shorter than three hours, making travel possible within this time.

All citizens should continue to be ready for further quakes. Please remain alert for further updates as they come.


[The voice cuts off once more.]

[Hey Teresa, welcome back. She sets the Fletchling back on to her shoulder.]

He's always excited about going to places and helping people. Obviously, he's got a good head on him.

[Sometimes Edan can get a little too excited that he will end up reckless, but Quinn got his eye on him.]

[personal profile] liveforher 2014-01-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So long as he doesn't lose it with that excitement, that is.

[But she's sure Quinn's got it. those two have been together awhile]

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-01-28 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Not to worry. I'm always there to hold him back before he does something stupid.

[Doesn't compare to Valor from her childhood days, but Edan and her have a solid bond of teamwork and agreement holding them close.]

Are you going to the mines or staying around here?
liveforher: (that's because I'm number one)

[personal profile] liveforher 2014-01-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not worried.

[And it's sincere. She knows of their capabilities]

I'm thinking of heading to the city. I just got back and escorting civilians through mines isn't my sort of work.

[Seriously, she thinks it's total bull civilians are here anyway buuut she holds back on that]
tagteams: (▽ and it drags the suffering ideals)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-01-29 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like the idea of civilians going into the mines at all... Some of them don't even know what to expect in there, but I'll do what I can.

[She finds it bull too, but like her opinion mattered against direct orders.]

Be careful down there, Teresa. [Granted, this is her senior and she should be more formal, but after a couple missions together, it kind of just dropped a little. The concern is still the same.] The city might be as dangerous as the mines.
liveforher: (kind)

[personal profile] liveforher 2014-01-29 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like it either. I don't know what the bosses are thinking. But who am I to say?

[She says it flippantly, because yeah bullcrap. A team of Survey Corps could figure this out, she's sure.]

[But oh right, concern. She smiles]
I'll be fine. There's no need to worry about me.

[But while she's talking, it seems a Cubone has found it's way to the outpost and is making a bee-line right for Teresa's side]
tagteams: (▽ dreaming of about the things)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-01-30 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Orders are orders, even if it involves risking citizen lives. [Minus Rangers since they are obviously the biggest risk takers of the jobs for the fact that they can go outside.]

I know, but having a little concern never hurts.

[She gives a small smile, even with the Cubone joining the conversation.]
liveforher: (that's because I'm number one)

[personal profile] liveforher 2014-01-30 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm sure you'll perform your orders admirably.

[She meanwhile eyes the cubone. Followed her here too? Sigh...]

I suppose not, but don't distract yourself with too much worry.

I always give my best performance out on the field.

[She kneels down to look at the Cubone, still having a gentle smile. That's Quinn alright, always being interactive with Pokémon.]

Hey there, little guy.
liveforher: (bitch i'm awesome)

[personal profile] liveforher 2014-02-01 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Cubone looks up at her curiously, if not a bit wary. Teresa, just looks a bit resigned]

She followed me down from the mountains. Stubborn little thing.
tagteams: (▽ something that i can wrestle)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-02-02 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
She likes you. Given her a name yet?

[Even stubborn little things can end up being loved later on.]
