Video - Backdated to the Start of the Pan Plot

[mightthinkthat]

Something's happening in Heropa. Unfortunately, I'm still sorting out the details, but be advised that it's off limits to non-combatants for your own safety. [ If you want to go haring in there regardless, well, it's Not Francis' Problem. ] But those of you who have been displaced by the event should know that Nonah is able to take you in until the situation is resolved. Even if I have to home you myself. [ He does have space after all. ] 

Just let me know and I'll arrange something for you. Anyone who is willing to house people should also respond to this post, so that we can organise more rooms, if needs be. 

For new people, my name is Francis Urquhart and I'm serving as ImPort Ambassador for the City of Nonah.

That's a very gracious offer. I wasn't aware we had ambassadors.

[mightthinkthat]

We have three. Mister Mitchell for De Chima and Revan for Maurita Falls.

[vorbarra]

Good to know. I live in De Chima. This might be a bad time to ask, but can I inquire about what your official duties are?

[mightthinkthat]

It is, rather, but essentially I encourage people to register, assist with imPort endeavours, mediate internal conflicts, PR and generally work with the government.

[vorbarra]

Interesting. When it's a better time and all this has settled, would you be open to speaking with me about it further?

[mightthinkthat]

Certainly, it would be my pleasure.

should I hit up your IC contact?

[vorbarra]

Thank you, then. I will.

Greg Vorthys.

[Damn, Joaquin hadn't even considered Nonah as a place for Manolo to stay during the event. He'll have to remember the next time things start to get hairy.]

That's an awfully kind offer, señor Urquhart. I'll be sure to send any refugees in need that I find your way.

[mightthinkthat]

Thank you, Joaquin. I hope people won't be... inconvenienced... too long.

[medalsome]

That is our hope, yes.

... It's terrible down here, I don't even know where I'm going, it's not even the same place anymore!

[mightthinkthat]

[ Yes, of course you're a hero. ]

I don't doubt it. Have you met any people?

[medalsome]

Not... anyone in their right mind. I'm ashamed to say, but I've had to run away.

So far, my only options have been to run or use lethal force, and I'd rather not do... that.

[AT LEAST HE HAS HIS SWORDS WITH HIM THIS TIME!]

[mightthinkthat]

No. [ He understands. ] But if it comes down to it, try to remember imPorts do come back. [ So don't be too guilty/over-cautious. ]

[ Well now, this was interesting on a number of levels. Charles had already made a few inquiries of his own, with people he'd met since his arrival but this was the first 'official' sort of address he'd come across.

Making sure the video was aimed at his upper shoulders and head, he clicked to respond. ]

Hello, Ambassador Urquhart. I wasn't aware we have such representation, though it's comforting to learn; given the circumstances I'm hearing about in Heropa.

[mightthinkthat]

Such occurrences aren't unheard of unfortunately. But they tend not to last either.

[excessivehubris]

Yes, I'd heard something about that, from one of the natives.

[ A native who had been less than impressed with imPorts and not shy about sharing her opinions. ]

Is there a protocol for this sort of thing? Aside from opening our homes to those in need.

[mightthinkthat]

That's down to RISE. They're in charge of ImPort Enforcement. [ Though their representatives have chosen not to use the network to say anything. ]There are several people inside hoping to... restore the city. It's rather difficult given we're not entirely sure what's going on and there appear to be children involved.

[excessivehubris]

Children? [ He asked, frowning worriedly. ] Native, imPort or both?

[ It shouldn't matter, in many ways it didn't matter but in some ways it did, didn't it? Again, he was reminded of the native woman he'd met his first day. ]

Is RISE an imPort group or part of the government? Also will you and the other ambassadors be part of native relations, after the fact?

[ It's an assumption, that the situation in Heropa will be dealt with and overcome but right now it was an assumption he had to go accept. ]

[mightthinkthat]

I'm not distinguishing for the moment. [ It doesn't matter to Francis. He's not interested in putting either side above the other, even though it's not equal at the moment, Francis doesn't believe preferring natives is going to address the inequality. ]

They don't seem to have their memories at the moment anyway. All I know about them for the moment is that they're hostile to our people in there and that's turning this into something very sticky. [ And you know, giving Francis some flashbacks. Fortunately, being busy is how he copes. ]

Both. It cooperates with the government and comprised of ImPorts.

And we're a permanent fixture, if that's what you mean?

[incogneto]

As long as my roommate is willing, there's plenty of space in our apartment.

[mightthinkthat]

Thank you.

[incogneto]

Are you recruiting for assistance in Heropa?

[mightthinkthat]

That's not my division. If you want to go, you'll have to get in contact with RISE. Or go on your own initiative, but I don't have enough details for me to feel right in encouraging that.

[incogneto]

What are your details?

[mightthinkthat]

The city sent everyone not affected out. Those who are affected seem to be children and violent. The area is now forested, though I'm not sure what kind. And that's essentially it.
