You all got a request to join Nicole into the taskmaster quarters of New Dawn. While such communication wasn't a secret, seems that only part of the Prometheans got invited. And by the look of it, everyone has clothes on them.. quite an unusual sight in these times. The room seems to be reserved, away from the usual chaos of the survivors busy with their daily missions.
Snowblind padds in and gives a greeting to Nicole before finding a spot to lower her tauric body down. She gives a small yawn and crosses her forepaws before adjusting the straps on her saddlebags. "Hello Nicole, good to be out here again. I don't stop by as often as I should. I think the others are right behind me, at least I saw one person I have not seen in awhile follow close by."
Rosalyn strides confidently into the room, her hooves thudding dully on the ground as she moves over to Nicole to confirm her arrival. Once the preliminaries are taken care of, she trods over to where Snowblind has settled in, smiling and greeting her.
Rsp peeks in, looking cautiously around the room before slinking in on all fours along the wall. He silently approaches Nicole and touches his nose against her ankle. "I got your message." He says softly, eyes zipping around the room warily. "It's been a long time, I don't think I've been here since I helped raise the walls up..." The thud of a hoof falling makes the scarred vulpine jump a little, cowering back and pressing against the wall to look at everyone else with large eyes.
Nai slithers into the room, quiet and without a sound, wearing a very hastily-looking put together of hir usual clothes, including the large coat, which seems to have been padded with a bit of extra protection. The spear in hir hand making a firm thud as shi taps the floor with it, leaning on the spear with one arm curled around it. Hood pulled over hir head and saying nothing, just giving a visible nod.
A little later than most, an odd metallic chimera slithers up to the building's side before settling down and resting her head near one of quarters' windows. Gosha's dressed simply with an oversized apron providing much of her front's modesty, a similarly oversized skirt covering everything from the lowerhalf ill suited for public awareness. "Sorry for being late," She thrumms through the window to those inside.
Nicole smiles as she sees everyone finally gathered here, giving a wink to the late Gosha at the window. "That's fine, sister. Don't worry. Oh, you should be Rsp.. it's nice to see old muzzles around here, I hope everything it's alright for you." she replies with a smile as Rsp gets closer to her. Giving the sign to sit down on either the chairs or the carpets on the floor, the racoon girl takes a deep breath, before starting to talk. "First of all, thank you all for being here, my brothers and sisters. And I didn’t summoned you here for giving you the usual daily.. but to seek the aid for a more important project." Nicole starts to explain, smiling as her usual, "For who doesn’t know me, I'm Nicole, the taskmaster of New Dawn. And for today, I have a big task to offer.. for all those interested in improving the current situation. As you may know, we aren't too happy of the situation in Fairhaven. Zephyr is a big resource, but the lifestyle between its halls is.. decadent and not good for our youngsters, often lured by that easygoing life. To solve this issues, we started to seek a new place to move in, with less influence from the Zephyr... with great efforts and sacrifices, but with the resolve of many of our children. For the last months, they challenged the wastelands, seeking for new nanite bubbles and cities within them. And.. I won't deny that it was difficult, leaving their families for so long. But in the end, it payed up. We found a suitable site for a new start, the city of Clairmont. Any question so far?"
Snowblind nods to all and gives a small giggle to herself as everyone arives. Raising a hand she waits a bit before asking her question anyway. "I have one. I don't want to displace someone who is already there. Did the scouts find any survivors or have they at least warned them of our comming?" Pausing she thinks a bit as her tail flicks from side to side. "Or I guess that might be this little groups job?"
Having taken a chair next to Snowblind's spot on the carpet, Rosalyn quiets down for Nicole's announcement. A look of thoughtful consideration crosses her face at the revelation, but she remains silent for now, nodding along with Snowblind's question.
"A new home? Away from Zephyr and RSX too?" Rsp asks, sitting more upright on the floor as his ears perk and his tail-tip begins to twitch excitedly. He looks over to Snowblind as she asks her question, adding additionally in a halting tone. "Yes, what d-do we know about this place, and what have you c-called us together to do?"
Nai quietly thumps the ground with the butt of hir spear. A little restless, shifting on hir coils before curling up and sitting, a little awkwardly, on the length of hir own tail. Trying not to comment on the obvious, they were here to find that out already. Tongue flickering a bit, hissing very faintly and hugging hir coat closer around hirself.
Smiling back at the winking Raccoon Girl Gosha looks inside for a few more seconds before turning her head to listen to the conversation within. After Snowblind offers her question the VTOL quickly finds herself nodding in agreement. "Whether this will be a new Promethean settlement or more an embassy would be nice to know. I have no other questions just yet, only a hope that this won't replace our charity efforts here."
Aidan goes silent for a bit, like if answering to this would be a bit more intense than expected. Then, she rises her muzzle and answers, "The place had survivors, until recent times. But as we got there, we didn't found any survivors. That place has its dangers, I suspect that the ferals in that area aren't friendly and neither stupid. We left a little, armed group to patrol the area, they should be fine for now. But beside that, we don't know what else is there, and it needs further investigation.". After a long pause Nicole resumes, "Sadly Rsp, the situation is quite dire.. too dire for us to face it alone. The place is fit for sustaining itself, but we don't have all the technology to fix the factories and make them running. This is why we decided to look at Rsx. They have a lot of technical knowledge, but our intel is reporting a critical lack of resources to keep up their place in Woodfield. This is why we offered a part of the production for their support.. which came shortly after a intense bargain. This accord had another effect as well, it lured in Zephyr. I'm quite sure they would love to stop this project, preferring to keep everything in Fairhaven. But they are greedy as well... they offered they economic help to the mission, in exchange of some freedom with the local market. While this isn't the original plan, their help is definitely useful, especially after we settled the matter by stating that the moral conduct of the place will follow our rules. Rules for not being feral beasts, like no public sex and keeping up some clothes. One of the reasons because you were contacted is because you should have these requirements, and your support in this mission would be really important. And if you hoped in a place free from Zephyr and Rsx.. that's quite impossible. But for sure, we'll a lot more freedom there than any we could have here."
