AS THE WAR THAWS...
[When the imPorts open their comms, they will come face to face with an uncharacteristic image, ensuring that even imPorts who attempt to ignore broadcasts at large will see it. This is, after all, relevant to each and every imPort.
The image is nothing more than a black screen with white text superimposed on it: STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
After a moment, the image will be quickly replaced by one of L. Chases, seated at her desk, hands folded in front of her. Her expression may be grim, but it is firm, and there is nothing but ferocity behind her stare.]
Attention all imPorts, [she starts off, voice crisp and clear.]
We are now in a state of national emergency. As of January 20th, the USSR has officially declared war on the United States, effectively endangering not only the people of America, but the world as a whole. In this time of need there is a strong chance we may have to call upon you, imPorts, to do your duty in protecting your own.
As a part of this declaration of war, the USSR has abducted approximately fifty imPorts, a number which may yet continue to grow. We do not yet know how this was accomplished, but you have our word that our intelligence is active and ready to uncover what form of technology could abduct you from afar.
We are currently in talks with foreign aid and the UN. Retaliation is a risky prospect, but I assure you, we will retaliate. That time draws near, and when it does, we will be asking for your assistance.
Until then, stay aware, alert, and cautious, imPorts. We cannot afford to lose any more of you, and more importantly, your fellows cannot afford it.
[And with that, her broadcast ends. There will be no replies.]

If we're not getting a concise timeline of when we're leaving or what we're doing, I'd like to learn Russian.
[ He learns by speaking but reading's ok too... What are you talking about he totally knows Cyrillic ]
no subject
Very well. I'll teach you. It's a waste of time for you to beat your head against a book.
Under the condition that if you're going after those taken, you look for a friend of mine when you get there. He won't slow you down, I promise. [Miles doesn't really have a speed slower than all ahead during crises.]
no subject
But I'll look for him if you give me a description.
[ His Spanish isn't great but he also learned it on the plane to Argentina so, his Russian might be alright... ]
no subject
[Lies, they're devastated about having their telepathic link gone, but they also haven't told anyone but Charles that they have it.]
And unless they want him dead, they won't give him any drugs, [he goes on.] You won't be able to miss him: he's not quite 150 cm tall and he'll probably be organizing a jailbreak.
no subject
[ He's a pacer, but it's more like he runs away from his problems. If he's walking, he should at least be walking somewhere. ]
no subject
[Gregor, meanwhile, has gone more constrained than he's ever been in the short two weeks he's been here. He's been trained in crisis management up and down and he doesn't waste any time on emotional reactions.]

Fortunately they'd spoken over video, so there's no delay in searching the faces of those around him.]
We were never introduced. Greg Vorthys.
no subject
[ He extends a hand, to the one not holding the video. ]
[ In his best Russian, which he started like 3 seconds ago, he says: ]
Thank you, agreeable teach Russian me.
no subject
Thank you for agreeing to teach me Russian, [he corrects.] And you're welcome. Do you have a particular goal with this? In the interests of time efficiency.
no subject
[ Obviously he also wants to understand back. But really he's already got "where are they" and "who's in charge" so he thinks probably... a slightly more subtle method of interrogation, maybe? ]
no subject
I see. Tell me what types of questions you want to ask, and the character you want to portray. [In case that's too much so soon, he repeats in English,] What do you want to ask, and how do you want to ask it?
[Basically, good cop or bad cop.]
no subject
I do not think to be polite. [ And because his Russian is so bad: ] I don't think I could even try not to be threatening.
no subject
He nods.] Just wanted to get a sense of your goals. All right. Let's start with, Who are you? Who do you get your orders from?
no subject
Who are you?
[ He repeats, consonants a little over-announced, vowels lacking in subtlety. He catches it, and tries again. ]
Who are you?
[ He tries, and though sounding more natural this time, his tongue stumbles across the unfamiliar phonemes as he tries to match Gregor's pace. He repeats it once, twice, and tries a third time: ]
Who are you?
Who do you get your orders from?
do you want to handwave most of this? :|a
[He repeats for him again the longer sentence:] Who do you get your orders from?
yeah sounds good !! thanks <3
He will probably continue to learn it once he gets back from the mission, maybe dialing back to such topics as hobbies and describing your job. ]
