[What's up, good citizens; it's the injured lady who stole away from your base a few days ago, here to pass on some intel!]

Resets after dying are all screwy. Injuries can carry over. Objects may or may not disappear and may or may not reset to arrival condition. There's no pattern with any of it, as far as I can tell. Keep it in mind.

I’m not certain. Twenty? Two people were injured so we had other priorities.

Can you describe the injury that carried over? Was the item that is missing significant?

private

[cactusy]

Scarring from a blow. Waterlogged lungs.

[And as for the item-- hm. She strongly suspects that the answer is yes, but she doesn't know for sure, and the last thing she wants to do it pass on misinformation. Better leave that be for now.]

Re: private

[meadqueen]

From a blow? Not from your previous injuries?

You drowned? In the high tides last night? You returned quickly.

private

[cactusy]

[Yeah okay, she's going to need to come clean at least here.]

It wasn't me, which is why I don't know what item was lost and if it was significant. They wouldn't tell me.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

I see.

[Well there's that, at least]

We can trust this person?

private

[cactusy]

Depends on for what, I guess. I don't think they're lying about this.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

All right.

This doesn't change your plans at all?

private

[cactusy]

Sure. It means I'm going to really push and make sure I reach him today.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

[SIGH!!!! This is really giving her a new appreciation for everything her father-in-law had gone through with his two dumb ass children]

If you die doing this, carry-over injuries could restrict you even farther.

private

[cactusy]

And if I turn around and leave him to his own devices who knows what'll happen to him. What's your point?

Re: private

[meadqueen]

[The point is that your life matters to people!!]

It was poor planning to go alone, though there is nothing we can do about it now. Depending on your location you could call Martin and Jet for backup.

private

[cactusy]

Really not necessary at this point. Besides, you guys are useful at the airfield. That Maddy is is terrified, you know that?

Re: private

[meadqueen]

I do know. She could have been killed last night.

private

[cactusy]

Then you see my point.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

I’m not the only person here who can defend people. If you had spoken with me about this you could have brought one of the scouts with you.

private

[cactusy]

Scouts who would also be better off protecting the civilians. I'm used to solo missions.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

What are you going to do if you get out there and he can't walk on his own?

private

[cactusy]

Do you seriously think I haven't thought of that?

I'm healed enough to support him.

Re: private

[meadqueen]

I am not convinced of how much weight you think you can support with an abdominal injury.

If he can't stand at all?
