[Henry stands with the sea stretching out behind him, wearing a frown on his face. His tone of voice is sharp and his words are direct.]

Guardsmen, report in. Tell me what pieces of this splintered city surround you and who is with you on your island.

[He keeps it short. The sooner they work out who is where, the better, and this
is the quickest means of finding out.]

I ended up near that creepy foggy area, initially... but I've looked around. Tranquilly and Delight's Temples are both here, and I've located the Speakeasy and a watchtower. There are no residences here to speak of. But there are mopeds. [He says that last bit rather sarcastically.] The gods could have at least seen fit to replace those with boats.

[hotspurred]

[Henry huffs a half-amused breath — he appreciates the sarcasm, but he's also none too happy about some of the divisions.]

It seems they can only do so much right.

[Like separating Guard HQ from the Clinic and the Colosseum.]

Fortunately Curufin is working on boats. Glacius reports there are four islands. You share yours with Nick. Find him and work alongside him.

[dragonsgrasp]

Right. I would love to hear their logic for how they divided everything up... if they could even control that.

[Who knows, exactly, after all? They have a lot of power, but there are some things they can't manage. Like boats.]

I'm glad to hear he's got a start on transportation, as we'll need it. I've contemplated jumping between the islands, but my power is more for height than distance... and I don't enjoy swimming.

[Even he's not insane enough to risk falling into the ocean fully armored.]

Anyway, all right... I'll look for Nick... and I'll report in if there's anything else to be found here.

[hotspurred]

A wise decision.

[He remarks drily — jumping into the depths of this sea seems a bad choice, however impressive Kain's leaping is.]

[dragonsgrasp]

[Yes, he's not too eager to drown, or worse, make a fool of himself.]

Right. We'll have to leave it to those with seafaring experience to handle this predicament... if we have any among us.

[synthedick]

Kain, you're with me. Keep an eye on the watchtower for now until we figure out shifts. It's not much, but it'll do as a temporary headquarters for this island for the time being.

[audio]

[dragonsgrasp]

Right, will do... I can head in that direction now. It's certainly better than nothing, at the moment. At least it's sounding like everything is still intact, even if split up.

[audio]

[synthedick]

Yeah. Better than everything being in pieces. Once we figure out who is where and find a way to get folks from point A to point B pretty easy, we'll be better off.

[dragonsgrasp]

I'm sure it won't be long before someone chances swimming, though that doesn't seem as if it would be ideal. Airship transportation would be the best option. [Where's an engineer like Cid when he needs him?] But barring that, I'm sure we've enough people who could manage to build boats of some sort...

[audio]

[synthedick]

Curufin is working on boats, so with any luck, it won't be long before we can move people around to even out our numbers. We'll just have to sit tight, but until then, tell me about these airships. You talking about something like a dirigible, or a plane?

[audio]

[dragonsgrasp]

Good, we're certainly going to need those boats. I don't think we could get by, separated like this, not when important locations are scattered between these islands...

Yes, airships are much like... boats that fly. I think there may be some similarity between those other aircraft you mention, though these ships are actually crafted to look entirely like boats, strange as it may seem.
