*Marco sighs. He sounds tired*

Alright. A lot of you are already volunteering to help, but the problem is we don't have a plan. Nor does attempting to make plans in various entries on shipNET really help us. We need to all get together and go over this at once, instead of try to bring together all the scattered ideas

I will be there in a moment.

[Anna isn't a teleporter, but she can move very fast when she wants to. She doesn't like being part of large crowds, so when she does arrive, she lingers at the back, intently studying the lines in the floor of the deck.]

[ntjstapwn]

Thank you.

*The 'be careful' goes unsaid, cause he knows she will, but damn he thinks it hard*

[dormant_beast]

[Her device clicks off, she she doesn't verbalize her answer for him, because she herself isn't...sure of it. Still, she'll eventually seek him out when he isn't busy, crowd or not.]

[ntjstapwn]

*For the moment, at least until enough people arrive who seem to want to start talking, or enough that Marco can ID most of the people who were talking about this stuff on the comms, Marco isn't doing much other than sit and watch people.
He waves to Anna when she shows up, smiling a bit.*

[dormant_beast]

[The second he waves to her, she weaves her way through, smiling shyly and reaching to give him a hug.]

You are back to work quickly.

[ntjstapwn]

*He stands up as she gets closer and returns the embrace*

I couldn't just sit back and watch. Besides, with everyone trying to do things on their own it'll just get more confusing. Right now I'm just trying to get people to work with each other and get information together.

[dormant_beast]

I can no longer, either. [She steps away, then holds out her hand.]

Will you tell me what you learn?

[ntjstapwn]

*He takes her hand and smiles at her, though its obvious he's a bit worked up and worried. Marco doesn't bother to hide things so much around Anna, and both should be 'normal' enough given what's going on*

I don't have much yet, but I will.

[dormant_beast]

[She can tell, and she can honestly say she feels very much the same.]

Alright. You- ...I just want you to know, that I will help you however I can. You do not have to do all of this alone.

[ntjstapwn]

I know...and thank you.

*It helps a lot, but he's not sure how to say that. Or even if he can when they aren't alone*

[dormant_beast]

Good. [She gives his hand a light squeeze.] I will be here, regardless.
