[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7204638, member: 2012"] "If that is true, there will be many people who will have trouble accepting it. It could be worse than the Time of Troubles," Loranys says with a sigh. "Many lives will be lost. I guess the best I can do, the best any of us can do, is try to save who you can when you can and hope there is something left of our culture once the dust has settled." "If it ever does," the guard Belgeon adds. He had moved in to listen to the comm. "An invasion from the sky likely won't be over quickly." He looks at Rodan for some confirmation. "And will this empire take slaves?" "I've seen the edge of that place, once," Belgeon notes. "Six years ago, Lord Belt tried to form a trade alliance with the dwarves of Citadel Adbar, and I and a dozen Fists went along as an escort. It was my first major assignment as a Fist. However, the trip there turned out to be for nothing, as Lord Belt did not think the dwarves' alliance to the Silver Marches was strong enough to preclude an agreement for forged goods. While in the region, I got a chance to see the northwestern edge of Anauroch. It was beautiful, in an eerie sort of way." "Yes, I'm glad to know that we are not alone in this fight," Loranys says.

There isn't any way for her to contact any ships in orbit without a more powerful signal. Her datapad just can't punch through the field. She hears a faint signal of, something else, but it is barely audible. It was almost as if someone had pinged back to her signal, but she can't be certain. She tries to zero in on it but it fades as quickly as it appeared. If she can get to higher ground, she might be able to find it again. [b][u]OOC[/u]:[/b] She'll need access to a powerful computer terminal with suite of communication software to have any chance of contacting Commander Madden. "Amazing," Loranys says, fascinated.
