Town Meeting: Town Harder, Town Hall, Town Evening

[bigdamnprincipal]

Sometime in the afternoon, phone calls started coming in to Zoe from the away teams, with messages of success that made her feel more relieved than she had in days. After talking to Harriet and Kerrigan about what they'd been able to accomplish, the plans to finish this fight finally started to come together, and all that seemed to be left to do was inform the town, and gather more volunteers.

Once again, fliers appeared around town and in the dorms, calling everyone who was left together for a second town meeting. Zoe gave the people who arrived some time to get settled and check in with each other, before she got up to speak.

"Thank you all for coming on such short notice," she said. "I'm pleased to say that I have good news to share. All of our travelers have successfully found the information we sent them to search for, and with this information, the administration has come up with two plans: one to stop the angels, and one to bring everyone who's gone missing home."

First, Zoe explained the plan to lure the angels into the preserve which I will not type out again so as to not bore you all, and then she opened the floor to Harriet, to explain how the missing persons were being brought back which has its own OCD thread la la la.

"What we need now are volunteers to deal with the angels, and to make this plan work. I'm not going to lie to you," she said. "It's going to be dangerous, and I know that my job is to keep the students and teachers out of danger as much as possible. But I also know that if anyone can pull this off, it's the people in this town. If we all work together, we can get rid of this threat, and get our friends and family home. If you have any questions before you volunteer, either Dean Jones or I would be happy to answer them."

[I am in no way ashamed of tonight's post subject. If you're a blinker or teleporter, you can handwave coming to the meeting and volunteering, if you want.]

D'Argo was once again there, leaving Tino to handle Caritas while he listened to what was going on.

Altra and Karal were both there, and Karal settled into a chair, Altra sitting next to him, near the back, alert and ready to listen.

Of course G'Kar was there. He eagerly waited to hear news of the teams. And if they'd found a way to bring everyone home.

Johnny was there, his gaze intent as he prepared to listen.

Joanna was concerned. Business had been slow this week. A lack of students translated to a lack of revenue, and that just wouldn't do.

Sokka was SO there.

He was feeling disappointed in himself at having nothing more to report after another day of research, but on the other hand he was pretty sure "boosting Sokka's ego" wasn't on the meeting's agenda.

Remarkably, Valentine was there.

He rather would have preferred to be hiding under his bed at the moment.

Harriet and Kerrigan's Report

[bigdamnprincipal]

Re: Harriet and Kerrigan's Report

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

"Good evening. I'm Dean Jones, Dean of Students. I'm sure you all know who I am.

Lieutenant Kerrigan and I returned from London a short time ago, and Principal Washburn has asked us to explain what we found. In short, it is a way for us to get those we have lost back to this time, safe and relatively un-aged. This plan has already been put in motion.

The Lieutenant will give you the details of how it's going to work." Harriet stepped back, hands folded behind her, ceding the stage to Kerrigan.

Kerrigan nodded, her hands equally folded, and her chin up high. "In my time, the use of stasis technology is widespread," she began, "But it seems to be relatively new to yours. We've discovered the plans for a stasis machine that should be workable with this century's technology." She took a breath. "It's not exactly bringing them to our time, per se-- but the stasis process freezes a person's functions and aging process in such a way that it can make transit across years, decades, or even centuries-- seem like the blink of an eye, regardless."

She shot Harriet a faint look. "We're going to use this machine. Basically."

Harriet nodded, stepping forward again, to stand next to Kerrigan. "Essentially, for the time they are in the machine, time will not pass for them. But they will be safe, they will be guarded and, when we come out the other side of tomorrow, we will have them back."

"And that's our basic line-out," Kerrigan finished, with a nod of her head, "There should be minimal issues, if any, with those involved. With any luck, it won't have been more than a few weeks for the most of them. That's it."

Questions

[bigdamnprincipal]

For Zoe or Harriet.

Volunteer

[bigdamnprincipal]

In case it wasn't obvious enough that you're crazy.

Re: Volunteer

Inara raised her hand solemnly. This was something she could do.

Finally.

Re: Volunteer

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

Makoto raised 'her' hand. Surely 'she'd' be of some use here. Tom would just have to deal with 'her' not showing up to work tomorrow.

Re: Volunteer

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie was glad to be able to volunteer to help.

Liz raised her hand, she was determined to be able to help somehow.
