[As they did in their initial recruitment video, Henry and Maketh stand side by side to address city guard business. This time, however, Henry's stance is that of a seasoned knight, poised to spring into action at the first indication of danger. There is a honed watchfulness in his gaze to match, and his expression is keenly focused. It is he who speaks first.]

We have every confidence that, in these perilous circumstances, every man and woman of the Guard is doing their part to assist our fellow inhabitants. Now it is time for us act under a shared banner. Let us unite our efforts, and through our combined efficiency and might, defend this city to greatest extent of our ability.

Report in. Spare not the details of your current location and undertaking.

Maketh will speak of our priorities henceforth.

[Maketh nods, expression somber. This will be the first time anyone in Hadriel has seen her wearing body-armor. She doesn't bother with pleasantries.]

The temples have been declared safe. We suggest congregating there and bringing as many supplies with you as possible. Given the circumstances, it would be wisest to wait out this storm. Save your strength for the next fight - and there will be another after this. In the meantime, go to the temples. The Guard will be doing what we can to make you all comfortable. Those of you who are able and willing, we would welcome your aid.

We will survive this. I have faith in all of you. Be safe.

[There is one final thing that Henry has to say, no less important than the rest.]

I would encourage anyone in need of our help to beseech it here. A ready member of the Guard shall take up your cause.

Nick Valentine checking in. I'm headed up Spire Four, checking to see if anyone is still left inside.

Acknowledged. Report back if you need assistance.

Be it the first Spire that you have swept?

[ kate looks... Well, she looks pretty haggard and twitchy, really. Too many monsters getting way too close to the clinic. Too many things to do, though, so she'll take the moment to respond to this post. ]

Going to clear the Clinic now... [ the 'if we don't get attacked ten times over' hangs in the air, unsaid. ] Will try and divide equipment between the temples. Anything you guys need right now?

[hotspurred]

Should we find ourselves in need, we shall head to a temple. Let us not divert supplies.

[Henry shakes his head briefly. Both he and Maketh bear Hope's blessing anyway -- magic is a better form of field medicine at this time, though he trusts it less.]

Require you an escort? We would not see any of the clinic staff harmed.

[Kate looks exhausted. Maketh nods just once.]

Yourself, in one piece. You're one of the few here with medical training. We need you.

Bigby here. I dunno how much good I'll be against these monsters, but I'll keep an eye out for anyone out in the fog and get 'em to safety.

[hotspurred]

There are others whom we may task with slaying. Let us know should you and any charges need relief.

[mismanagement]

Excellent. Report back if you need backup or find any injured.

[hotspurred]

Excellent. We may call upon you to support other operations, should they face obstacle.

Thank you, sir. Report in if you require assistance.

[Someone had the camera too close to their face. He's not too sure about these new fangle cell phone things.]

HEY! Less faith and more action! What the hell is going on out here anyways? What is that air raid siren? Are you what counts for law enforcement here? Because everything's going to hell! Do bullets work on these things? Do you guys know whose behind this? Anything? I'll route people towards those temples but I swear if I hear one thing about that being a trap I will make my way there and...

[He cuts off because he chokes from not taking a breath between those questions. At least his choking allows for someone to respond! Now that the camera is away from his face, it's obvious he's out on the streets at the moment.]

[Oh, great. A new person. Maketh tries her best not to glare when she responds, though it's difficult.]

I see you are new to this situation, but it would best for everyone if we can proceed in a logical fashion. We do not know if firearms or blades will work on these monsters yet. There are a large number of them, and most are new. The sirens seem to be a warning system, though not one that we set in place. If you hear one, find shelter.

We do know who is behind it. The situation is being dealt with.

[ :)))) Fantastic. He'd hoped the city guard would step in. A nice thing to have his confidence rewarded, in the face of that gun happy idiot's total dismissal of said guard. ]

Thank you.

Doctor. [Have a small, business-like nod.] Are you safe?

[hotspurred]

We shall see this duty that we have taken upon ourselves through. You too may do your part by taking sanctuary and remaining there.

[ This is going to be brief, because he's literally just reporting in. Damen doesn't need a motivational speech, though later, he'll feel glad they took the time to do it for the others' sake. ]

I'm stationed close to Hope's Temple. I'll ensure a clear path for any who approach. If anyone needs to be escorted, please let me know, and I'll go to find them.

It's best if they stay inside after that. This isn't getting any better.

[mismanagement]

Understood. Report back if you need reinforcements.

[hotspurred]

Good man. We shall.

Those wilfully errant few who refuse to stay put are of less concern than those hindered by peril.

[Howdy. There's a skeleton on the video feed. Hope you don't mind.]

So I'm just curious. This extends to people who aren't strictly human, right?

[mismanagement]

[Maketh blinks. Another unfamiliar face.]

It extends to everyone here. I'm afraid I don't know your name.

[voice] late tag-in is late, oops

[circumitus]

[As a member of the Guard, suppose Rey ought to check in or something. Sigh.]

Will work on sweeping the streets and escorting people to the temples. If there's anything else that needs to be done, say the word.

[She doesn't intend to seek shelter in the safety of the gods' homes. It's just a risk that she's willing to take.]

[mismanagement]

Understood. Report in if you find anyone that requires medical attention.
