Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

[Tobias lands nearby, looking up at Zahi. He makes sure he doesn't restrict his thought-speech just to Zahi so everyone can hear, though it might be a little weird for people who haven't met him yet to hear his voice in their heads.]

<I'm in. You're probably going to need some kind of scout anyway, and if it comes down to fighting I've got some options for wading in. And if the worst happens, you can hand some of the medicine over and I can fly it back here.>

What are we waiting for? We need to move out as quickly as possible.

[Zuko doesn't understand why there's even a question. If this is their best chance for a cure, they need to form their group and go, not stand around discussing it.]

[ Tris is mostly passing by - she has a basket full of potted plants, and anyone who pays attention might notice there's a bit of an extra shine to her glasses. And a slight scent of ozone about her... ]

There's also that flying boat. I don't plan on coming along to make it go any faster than normal, but you can go straight with it, instead of following twists and turns of the skyway.

[Jay watches Zahi with some suspicion.]

Surely we have ... equipment here, dearest? We could at least culture the infectious organism, provided this is not a spirit-sickness.

I just need some space and glassware and ... ah. I suppose you're not advanced enough for microbiology, are you? I'll need nutrient agar ...

DID SOMEONE CALL FOR A CURE

[It's an exhausted and anxiety-ridden Tobias who arrives off the Skyway. He's not sure if the others made it out all right, but he has to hope they did. The cure is still tucked in the bag tied to his leg, and he lands in front of the hospital, yelling as loud as he can in thought-speech.]

<Hey! Whoever's in there! I brought back the cure, we need to use the Monument to make more!>
