Network Video | State of Emergency

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis appears on the screen, the picture of calm, seemingly in complete control of herself despite the chaos going on outside.]

The KPD is declaring a state of emergency and I have dispatched officers to all sectors to help in any way they can.

[The force wasn't huge, but they would do the best they could]

In addition, those needing shelter can come to the Department Headquarters. It wasn't severely damaged in the storm and we will accommodate as many as we can.

[She already had a few people gathering blankets and other items that they might need.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be moving around the sectors helping move debris and running search and rescue, but I'll be in contact with my officers so you can call me through them or on a foreigner radio.

[Hound form was very useful in such circumstances.]

I don't need shelter, but do you need extra help at your headquarters? I want to help.

[the face on the screen isn't new, but Valdis couldn't recall interacting much with Elizabeth. The offer is very welcome, however]

We can always use some more help. Do you know where the KPD headquarters is?

Re: video;

[isochrone]

Yes, I do. I've walked past in many times on my deliveries, and I brought a package to Pepper once.

Should I bring anything with me?

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

Blankets mostly. The weather is not helping anyone.

Re: video;

[isochrone]

Blankets, yes. I'll do that right away and bring them over.

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

Thank you. I shall inform headquarters that you are coming.

[Conan squints slightly at the screen, and grimaces as the movement pulls against the bandage wrapped around his head.]

How bad is it?

[He shrugs, careful not to jolt his head too much.]

I probably won't be able to do anything to help this time.

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

I could ask you the same question...What have you done to yourself?

[Video]

[spoilsfun]

The wind blew me into a tree. [He grimaces. That was one of the drawbacks of being a child. He simply had not had enough mass or weight to resist the wind.]

But I'll be fine in a few days. I just hit my head.

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

So you have a concussion? That's usually more than a few days, Conan...

Re: [Video]

[spoilsfun]

Not a bad one.

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

Were you wearing a helmet?

Re: [Video]

[spoilsfun]

Of course not. Most people don't use helmets while they're walking.

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

[That's exactly her point, kid.]

Then your concussion is a bad one and you should be resting.

Re: [Video]

[spoilsfun]

I am resting right now.

[Talking like this didn't count. ]

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

You are off duty for two weeks.

Re: [Video]

[spoilsfun]

Isn't two weeks too long?

Re: [Video]

[redlightgreenlight]

No. That's that standard in my world.

Re: [Video]

[spoilsfun]

Can I at least work on things from home?

[redlightgreenlight]

You will be incredibly bored for a week, because no, you can't.

[Though she knows that won't stop him.]

I'll send over a few things, however, since I know you are incapable of sitting still.

[spoilsfun]

[Most of the other times he'd gotten sick, cases had come to him.]

What kinds of things?

[redlightgreenlight]

Coloring books, crayons, maybe a book from the library.

[She's teasing, but there isn't a sign of it on her face.]

Maybe a case file that I need new eyes to look at.

[spoilsfun]

[His face showed his opinion of the idea of crayons.]

An interesting one?

[redlightgreenlight]

That depends on your definition of interesting, but I'll do my best.

[spoilsfun]

Then I'll look forward to it.

[redlightgreenlight]

Good.

I can help for the duration of the storm. If you want it.

[redlightgreenlight]

That would be greatly appreciated. We feel so understaffed right now.

[lostundercover]

Who else do you have on the team?

[redlightgreenlight]

Gene, Pepper, Aya, Chat and several others. I addition, I've dispatched all my kedan officers to the various sectors to do what they can. I hope it will be enough.

[lostundercover]

A bunch of kids, a robot, and some aliens? [What a force.]

With all due respect, I'll take my orders from you.

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis wondered if he'd feel that way if he knew she was a Hellhound. Her money was on not.]

You aren't big on teamwork, are you?

[lostundercover]

I'm not big on bullshit.

[redlightgreenlight]

If that's what you think of working with others, then I'm afraid you won't be of much use to the relief effort.

[lostundercover]

Is that what I said? I said I have a problem with bullshit. Long as the people aren't full of shit, we shouldn't have a problem.

[redlightgreenlight]

Good. They need some help in the Fire Sector. Can you make it there?

[lostundercover]

I'm on my way.

[redlightgreenlight]

Thank you.
