Humanitarian Mission

"Great to see you as well," Sally responds and then shifts a little, embarrassed again. "It is better, but not... Fully. We found some ways to restrain my... Desires, but they are still there. I'm keeping it together for the moment at least, but like I said. I'm gonna have to jump poor Maple once we're safely back home," she says and flashes Maple a grin. Maple smiles.

"I don't mind helping you out," she says cheerily. "As for how long it's been... Oh dear... Um. I think around twenty or so years?" she says.

"twenty three years, four months and two weeks exactly," Sally corrects and Maple rolls her eyes.

"Thank you for the correction," she says sarcastically. "We've been doing pretty well, very busy, reforming all of Iralia for one thing. My time with Yulia showed me that we can't stay as an isolationist community forever and that our fear of the outside, while not wholly wrong, was stifling our ability to truly do anything of importance," Maple explains.

Sally looks nervous for a second, "we uh... Still haven't released Del though, another reason we've stopped our isolation that Maple isn't quite willing to admit, is she's still hoping to find something that can help him," Sally explains and Maple tenses and looks down shamefully.

"We only gave out the one button. There are currently four of these Drop squadrons. We've created a number of monitoring stations and have created these squads which can be quickly deployed to almost anywhere in the Tower, at least anywhere that is open to the sky. We're trying to help make the Tower a better place and uh... As Sally explained, I'm hoping to find some way to help Del as well," she admits. "The emergency Beacon we gave Lemiel was one of a kind, at least so far. We would have given one to the rest of our friends, but unfortunately by the time we developed them we'd already lost contact with Yulia. We'd lost contact with Goma and Isalia as well and I guess at least now I know why that happened," Maple adds.

"Izzy is essentially our Nephew, we met him a number of times before we lost contact with Isalia and Goma. We would also prefer a resolution that does not result in his death. Unfortunately neither of us are exactly good negotiators, so I'll have to leave convincing him to you. We can do what we can to assure he has no choice but to listen though," Sally says and pats her rifle.

"Overwhelming Firepower does tend to make negotiations a bit easier," Maple says with a weak smile.

"You say the rope elevator to the deep was cut, but that doesn't make much sense. That would certainly make it harder to return, but not impossible. Especially with the Drider's down there. There must be more preventing return. Perhaps if we can figure out exactly what's stopping the return and clear that out we can get Isalia and Goma back. They'd certainly be able to talk some sense into their wayward son," Sally suggests.

"You know I figured we'd hear from Malia again some day, but it's still disappointing to hear she's actually involved and it's both surprising and no surprise at all that Dreg is being an ass like usual," Maple comments. "It's good to hear that she doesn't know about Dahlia. I'm not surprised, I don't think anyone but the functionaries and the people who were there know anything about what happened on the tenth floor, but the fact she still doesn't know, does also mean she hasn't seen Yulia's group since, so we can assume she hasn't managed to hurt Yulia," Maple suggests.

Maie suddenly speaks up, "I'm afraid until we get there I can't tell you much about the fairy forest, suffice to say Dreg didn't take his exiling well and we've been living under his shadow for some time. No Chosen has either bothered trying to go past Flora or succeeded in doing so, so we've been on our own, dealing with... Well you'll see when we get there. We've been waiting a long time for someone who can actually save us," Maie admits

At this Take seems to wake up and yawns, "I feel... Better at least a little," she says and looks to Malphiel who is still sleeping, "we should unfortunately probably wake her as well as much as I'd like to let her rest longer, but we should get a move on," she says and stands, approaching Malphiel and gently shaking her awake.

All awake now Maple salutes, "alright we're at your command. Unfortunately only for the rest of this floor can we help you. The beacon is technically multiple use normally, but I doubt the Tower will let the signal reach us a second time if you try to use it again," Maple explains.

Take nods, "we thank you for your assistance so far and for the rest of this floor," she says with a bow and then turns her attention to the voices, "so, what's the plan?" she asks as she begins to get dressed. Malphiel is still waking up, but as she recovers from her grogginess she gets dressed as well.
