This is Shepard.

[Looking rather better than last time, not so much hoodie and hard, hot eyes. Tired, with some snowflakes melting in her hair, but calm and even satisfied. She's sitting in a chair in the dining room that those who have stayed there before might recognize as belonging to Building 31, tablet presumably on the table, leaning in with her hands casually between her knees as she speaks.]

I said I'll send the word out when I'm near the school - glad to report that's actually happened. I'm here with @lawbringer who tells me we're now in one of the houses immediately west of the school, near the north end. Anyone who wants to meet up here and talk some long-terms plans, for getting out, or just for making this place less of a hellhole, let me know your ETA if you can. Also if you've got any spare clothes - @himiko is with us, and she could really use them.

[She glances back over her shoulder, trying to see if Miranda is anywhere near the frame.] @lawbringer and I have been talking about setting up some resupply posts on the way between here and the entrance to the tunnels that lead up to the hospital. I'd like to get the same going for the way from here to the convenience store on the east side. It's all gonna be much more effective to hash out in person, but if you can't make it, chime in anyway. We'll keep you posted. [She gives an encouraging smile.] Keep warm out there.


IC edit, a little later that day, audio:

The house we're in has got locked doors and windows - you need to crawl in through the doghouse, there's a dog flap in the back. A bit boot camp, but it's great for insulation, commander's honor.
