1.1.01.01.026: handkerchiefs may be patterned.

[needshumility]

Uh... is there anyone that hasn't turned up yet in this flood? I'm just worried that if some people are really small they might not be able to get their communicators or out the door.

[Private to the Admiral]

Could I... possibly have some clothes suitable for a two year old girl. Whatever's standard issue, I suppose. Without frills or anything.

[ourlastbesthope]

Even if they're not really small, there could be trouble. If they've gone the opposite direction, I mean.

[needshumility]

Uh... yes, I suppose there would. Especially if they're past the retirement age.

The original question still stands, though.

[ourlastbesthope]

Well, it's a useless comment, but I don't know of anyone gone missing just yet. Keep looking, though. These floods are tricky.

[needshumility]

I'm keeping my eye out. It's...worth doing.

Are you alright?

[ourlastbesthope]

Oh fine. Just old.

[OLD MAN STORYTIME.] Back when I first arrived, there were awful floods. Not like this. But ones where you actually had to work to figure them out. But lately, these have become so random that we don't really know what to expect. It's a shame, really. It used to be that we didn't have to worry about struggling to figure them out. Things were nice and orderly.

[needshumility]

How long were you here before me?

Perhaps we should make a list of the floods we have, and see if there's any that repeat themselves, or look for a distinct change in pattern.

[ourlastbesthope]

I don't...really remember. Hmm...

Well, it was a long, long time ago.

[needshumility]

But you remember those floods?

[ourlastbesthope]

Well, of course I do! [No, no he doesn't.]

As soon as I'm back to being myself, we can make that list.

[needshumility]

I think we should. It might reveal some interesting answers into how this place works.

[Eddie wants all the answers.]

[ourlastbesthope]

I have a list started somewhere.

[needshumility]

Oh, that'll be useful. You've been here longer and probably have more written down.

[ourlastbesthope]

Yes. Well, when I find it, I will give it to you.

[needshumility]

It can definitely wait until after the flood, I think. Don't worry about it.
