Stop me if you've heard the news already.

At the mid-month mark, I have a small team* flying down to the Kamchatka Peninsula to reclaim the deserted submarine base town of Bechevinka. The estimated capacity would be just shy of 900, above and below ground combined, if all the buildings are deemed viable by our resident architect. There've been long-time rumors of submarines being left down there after the Cold War ended, and I'm hoping that holds true. We could use more active vessels.

Wish them happy hunting.

ENGINEERING + DOM.

Recommendations for getting through thick metal bunker doors? Would a blowtorch get through the locking mechanisms?

TEAM KAMCHATKA.

With all of my chest, it is my sacred duty as mission lead to advise the following things:

• Do not pet the sea lions. If you go in the water, be careful of any rusted wreckage. We don't have any tetanus shots on board.
  
• If it's brown, lay down.
  
• Listen to Dom. He'll be your lead on the ground.
  
• Dom, listen to Nadine or Ishaan is going to push me off the ship.

When do you want Alonzo back?

ADRI & PHILIP.

I need to confess something. [....] It's about Jamie.

(*ooc note: all relevant leadership were off-screen alerted to these volunteers this morning! they are delilah, apollo, jamie, and sloane. ishaan already knows.)

If you happen to come across any submarines, I would humbly request that one be christened Operation Petticoat.

[adrii]

I'm going to ground for a few days next week. Don't touch my bed.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

If you're working on improving your sense of humor, I have some constructive criticism to offer.

Noldana.

[adrii]

As entertaining as it would be to have you list them, no. I'm not being humourous.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Explain.

Noldana.

[adrii]

I have some research I gave to Alba as I didn't need it. Now I do, so I'm retrieving it.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

I see. How many GFs will be going with you? Or will it just be Philip?

Noldana.

[adrii]

There will be zero people going with me.

Hi, Mr. Niko, sir, it has come to my attention that my kiss list made you spiral upset you made you feel some type of way and I'm very sorry

Deniko.

[oneirophrenic]

I'm sorry, what?

Deniko.

[delilahs]

My source did not share details but I hope you didn't feel excluded because you're very handsome! Or maybe you thought it was unprofessional, which okay, that's probably fair, but I promise I have not kissed anyone in the library! Nor do I plan to!

Deniko.

[oneirophrenic]

[...] I see. Thank you for letting me know, Ms. Jensen. And for the record, you may kiss wherever you'd like, I have no authority over these things.

dominiko.

[loculus]

Tell me what you'd like to say to Aldana. It can remain between us.

dominiko.

[oneirophrenic]

I'm not an unreasonable man. If you were going to the surface with others, I would worry, certainly. But I wouldn't fight you on it. Going alone, when you are persona non grata with the Architects, is a very different proposition. You are in considerably more danger — grave danger, by the sound of this hdroid update. Take someone with you. Anyone. Even I would be an improvement over going entirely alone.

And for the record, if something happens to you, I will be livid. Your death will age me at least ten years.

dominiko.

[loculus]

Thank you. What he's about to do is beyond idiotic but at this point I'm only stating known facts.

dominiko.

[oneirophrenic]

He is the bane of my existence.

dominiko.

[loculus]

I'm sure Philip would be willing to hogtie and shove him in a service closet if this came up in casual conversation but I was verboten from telling even you so that's likely not something I have license to do.

dominiko.

[oneirophrenic]

What's this about fucking on Adrían's bed, Domingo?

dominiko.

[loculus]

Whatever happened the art of the segue?

[jaxsons]

It would be appropriate, wouldn't it?

[oneirophrenic]

Oh, are you a fan of the movie?

[jaxsons]

I remember liking it way back when, but don't ask me about the plot.

[oneirophrenic]

All you need to remember is Cary Grant and Tony Curtis.

[jaxsons]

I do like a man in uniform.

[oneirophrenic]

Our tastes don't always align but on this we can agree.
