[video] as sun tzu once said, light 'em up
There are a bunch of new people around, so...hey, I'm Nate.
[ It's been a while since he posted to the network, but things are starting to get sticky - and not even in the comparatively fun, sweaty jungle way - around these parts and tension feels like it's ramping higher. Crackling in the air. It makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He's not in the city, as evidenced by the dense, green foliage at his back. His sketchbook is out, open, but he's talking with both his hands. ]
I realize we're kind of running the gauntlet right now in terms of what's being thrown at us, and we're basically getting ready for an inevitable showdown, and there are already a lot of efforts being made toward preparing.
[ Sonya - a woman he doesn't know - was proposing escape routes and manageable cover strategies for civilian types. It's a good idea to have those routes mapped sooner rather than later. ]
But I've spent a lot of time since we got here getting to know this landscape, the topography. What I'm looking for are people with actual combat experience, whether that's strategic, logistical, or something similar. Fight's gonna come to us whether we want it to or not, and weaponizing the environment is one of the best chances we have at mitigating the risks. Guerrilla warfare isn't pretty, but we have the resources for it.
[ For a moment he looks distracted, thinking of something, writing it down and talking over the act as he does so. ]
So just, um. Call in if you've got the know-how. Thanks.

[ He's not being glib, but honestly interested. Everyone has something to offer, even if it's not in this particular field. He can always refer her to an area where her skills might better apply. ]

[ Only at heart, maybe. ]

Fair enough.
[ Shit. He can't leave it at that. ]
Just, uh...listen, do me a favor? Take care of yourself in all this, yeah?

[ He seems the "run headlong into danger" type, so her words may fall on deaf ears, but...they're still worth saying. He's been kind to her in their interactions, and she owes him at least that much. ]

[ It's the only promise he can make, with circumstances being what they are. Nate is a risk-taker and would much rather have the kind of firepower the Null will bring trained on him. ]
Stay safe.
