( Ana had spent the first few days holed up in an unused building, heading out when it had gotten dark to get a lay of the land, reading what she could on the phone she'd been given. It had been curious, but certainly more personal than informative )

It looks like my mission failed.
But I'm not the only one who has lost something, as unfortunate as that is.
Are they anything to do with the arrivals here, or is it coincidence?
There is more, I could guess that easily enough. Would I find a complete answer? That I doubt.

You could guess, or you could read the thoroughly informative document that's already available to you.

[justice_from_above]

How are you settling in?

[sleepdarts]

Thorough, but incomplete.

[torrefied]

What exactly do you find incomplete about it?

[sleepdarts]

( Abort. Abort. Just kidding )

حبيبتى . Your information did help.

( But lbr she's still not quite sure what she's least used to/okay with: being here or Fareeha being here or the awkward re-meeting )

[sleepdarts]

What do you find complete?
There are gaps.
But I did not expect to fill them. I had done some investigating first.

[mismanagement]

What was your mission objective?

[sleepdarts]

People.
But that is not unusual.

[sleepdarts]

To locate a friend.

[torrefied]

Since I'm the one who wrote it and I solicited input from the rest of the city in order to do so, I'd say I find everything about it complete.

If you're going to criticize someone else's work, the least you can do is offer a solid suggestion for improvement - or, failing that, answer a simple question with a direct answer instead of circular nonsense.

[mismanagement]

[That seems to be a common one these days.]

i see

you are military

what branch

[sleepdarts]

That is less important.

( Though the real answer would be 'none' by this point )

[sleepdarts]

( B+ for effort )

The only improvement would be to do the impossible.

[mismanagement]

perhaps to you

[Though a telling response nonetheless.]

i am maketh tua
a guardswoman here

[sleepdarts]

That you probably shouldn't tell to everyone.

[mismanagement]

the guard is not secret

[sleepdarts]

Then that is fortunate.

[mismanagement]

not so in your world?

[Hmm.]

[sleepdarts]

It is not as simple to be able to answer that.
But I retired from that.

( 'Tried to' )

[torrefied]

[He should hang up right now. He should walk away ... ]

Elaborate.

[mismanagement]

[That's a gentler way of saying things were political.]

retired but still on a mission

[That could be troublesome.]

are you going to make my life complicated?

[sleepdarts]

( Come child let her make some-
-nah only nice kids get tea )

You would need the gods to be forthcoming.

[sleepdarts]

That can be an unfortunate casualty.
But it is not a goal.

[mismanagement]

attempt to make it a priority

we have larger concerns here
