[So, turns out Sorrow-induced insomnia combined with generally staying inside so as not to tell everyone in the whole world everything awful that you've ever done has an upside. It's great for getting things done, especially when that thing is something he feels guilty about not having finished sooner.

He hasn't actually figured out the event is over by the time he makes this post, having been awake all night, though he does feel a little bit better than before and so offers a small smile to start the whole thing off.]

Hey, um, everyone.

[And he pauses, because he probably should've thought this announcement out a little more, but whatever.]

So I uh, finished something less fun than emojis, but probably a little more practical? I mean, it'd be better if we had a GPS system [--come on guys you totally voted for the wrong god--] but we can always add that part into it later.

Basically, um, it's a program that lets you set up an emergency message and who you want to send it to, and then just hit one button to send it. So if you're like, in danger or hurt or something and can't type or call someone but can hit a button, someone'll at least know you need help and go looking for you.

[And hopefully that could help someone, even a little, whenever the next horrible thing happens here.]

If anyone needs help like, setting it up, just let me know and I can probably get it going for you. It should be pretty simple though, so don't worry if you're not like, super tech savvy.

[And attached is a download for the program, which installs simply enough and includes a customizable message and a list of people to send it to. Once set up, a button will appear on the lock screen of the phone, and hitting it is all that's needed to send a message; any future changes to the message or receiver list can still be made through the main app.]

[He offers a faint smile at that, because as terrible as the situation is the way she's trying to handle it is really admirable.]

I think um, I think you already have done something good here. A lot of something good.

[She wants that to be true. Desperately.]

It's a start. [That much she can allow. Maketh smiles a little.] I had help.

[thechoiceisyours]

You're all doing pretty awesome. The Guard, I mean.

[This is definitely a challenging place to try to keep some semblance of order and safety in.]

[mismanagement]

[This time she does laugh, a little.]

It's good to hear! Truly. And the community has stepped up. They put professional troopers to shame.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah. I mean, even with everything that happened, the people here have um... Really worked together a lot.

[And what Sharon and the others did was the first and only major incident he's known of in eight months, so despite how serious it had been that doesn't undo how much the rest of those here have helped each other.

But in thinking about the event something else comes to mind, though he isn't sure if he wants to bring it up just yet. Instead, he sips at his coffee as a brief distraction.]

[That's true. Despite what Maketh once told Chris - and had believed with all sincerity - the community has stayed together. Aside from what Sharon and the others did, there have been no major conflicts. Back on Lothal, Maketh would have sneered and called it impossible. Civilians had to be corralled and coaxed to the proper conclusions, or there would be dissent.

Yet here they stand. United, more or less.]

We have good people here. I'd forgotten, I think, what that feels like. To be able to rely on others so readily.
