[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.

Don't some of the people here have magic they can communicate with? Maybe they can help.
[He's not sure how many people have the ability or how well it works, but it's worth considering.]
Last time the Null invaded I helped with defending the Clinic; maybe I can do the same sort of thing with wherever we set up a safe zone.
[Not alone, of course, because there should be much more than one line of defense. But he thinks he'll be a lot more useful this time than last time, at least.]

[ Nate appears somewhat distracted, but can he be blamed? Last time the Null attacked, Lance was helping to ferry people to safety. Last time the Null attacked, they ran into each other in the shell of an empty building.
Nate nods to himself, worrying his lip. ]
I'm gonna send you a post someone made a couple weeks ago, about setting up safe zones. I can't reach out to her myself because I'm organizing- [ handwave ] -all this crap, but...it might be good to be on the same page with her?
