Feb. 11th, 2012 03:51 pmEnzo comes stomping grimly into his dorm room and marches straight over to the window that is his storage locker. "Something's wrong in Milliways," he announces. "In a few nanos I'm going to have been there for a while, so I might need reminding what the homework is." Caret nods solemnly.
"Wrong?" asks the wide-eyed Quincy. "What do you mean, wrong? Like a system error? Or a... what did you call them? Natural disasters."
"Don't know. There's been accidents and explosions and I don't know what else, and the sky's turned red. User skies don't do that." He hangs his wooden practice sword from his belt, replaces one bracer with his grappling gauntlet, dumps a bunch of snack food into a carrier bag. Checks his stunner and forcefield unit. Considers for a moment, then straps his guitar onto his back.
"Now I need some quiet," he says, and opens an intersystem vidwindow.

Date: 2012-02-12 05:11 am (UTC)"Essentially correct. You make sure you have lots of back up stashes. In short, that amount should last you two for two 'weeks', roughly speaking with things going very wrong."

Date: 2012-02-12 05:32 am (UTC)There is some muttering that follows as he begins to root through his things on hand that it might even be affected already...

Date: 2012-02-12 05:34 am (UTC)Maybe he'll even have some insights as to what the frag is going on around there. Though Enzo's not sure there are any truly helpful data points.

Date: 2012-02-12 05:38 am (UTC)"Umm, Enzo... There hasn't been anything going on near the digimat, has there?"
Just to see if he could be fore-warned about things. He's still gotta look after himself, and be certain of - if any - problems it might have.

Date: 2012-02-12 05:50 am (UTC)He leaves himself a note regarding the use of a full-sized exo-suit. It's a good thing nulls don't have much in the way of expressions. He's almost looking forward to this.
"Alright, I believe that covers everything."

One thing he knows, he's not going to be seeing his nieces again until this is over.

"What?"
"More work."
