[72] - [Voice]

[doctor_j_crane]

[Crane sounds somewhat breathless.] Do we still have the capacity to bring people back from the dead? Or are we facing something more permanent? And are there any signs that bites from the faceless creatures cause ill effects?

[Pause.] And after people are finished considering that, I'm pinned down by these things on the second floor, if anyone is

[There's been a lot of action with the faceless crew and Perry's a bit worse for wear so he does not sound happy right now.] I've been fighting my way through these fucking things to go down, doc, and you want me to come back up there and save your weak ass?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

In my defense, I fought one. [And got bitten.] Three just happens to be a bit beyond me.

What's down at the bottom of the barge?

Private

[hatestriangles]

[He snorts at that. Just three, Crane? Come on.]

A bunch of people are trying to get through the engine room to the bridge. Said I wanted in but got pinned by the assholes without faces. I was trying to get down there again.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

The engine room connects to the bridge? How do they even know that?

Private

[inhumandog]

Dear God, Crane, can't you do anything on your own?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

Well, are you going to help me? Or should I just magically make the things out there disappear?

Private

[inhumandog]

I would if I could. Unfortunately, I'm as stuck as you are right now.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

In the CES? I heard some people were going down to the engine room, so there's a slight chance this might be resolved. And by slight I mean almost non-existent.

Additionally, if the Admiral does return? I think that you should request weapons for both of us. Clearly there's need for them.

Private/Text- annnnnd...pretend this fits in with the timeline somewhere....

[ourlastbesthope]

you wont be a zombie

cant talk much. dont die.

Private/Text- time liney

[doctor_j_crane]

I should hope not.

You too. Try to stay in your room and don't do anything stupid.

Private/Text

[ourlastbesthope]

its not stupid

its what needs to be done

Private/Text

[doctor_j_crane]

What needs to be done?

Capa, I don't think you understand the situation. If the Admiral isn't in control, there's no guarantee that death won't be permanent. If you do anything stupid you could die. For good.

Private;

[doctor_j_crane]

I was being dramatic, I don't actually intend to do it. Are you still trapped?

Private;

[doctor_j_crane]

I will. You won't need anything stronger?

[justareverie]

Far as we know, death could be permanent now. It's better not to test luck.

...I'm in the second floor myself. Still need a hand?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

I never thought I'd find myself wanting the Admiral back. How depressing.

I may have been able to convince Dawsey, but where are you? What level? [Just in case Perry dies, oh ho ho.]

[Private]

[justareverie]

I just barely managed to get to my room, level two-- hell, the corridors are swarming with these things. Got hold of a few hunting knives, and good thing the doctor lent me an emergency kit. You wounded? Have any weapons with you?

[Private]

[doctor_j_crane]

You're lucky. I don't have anything of any particular use. It's times like these where I think first aid kits should be handed out to everyone on board.

I'm wounded, but it's fairly light.
