Straightarrow glances over the reports with a slight frown as he walks into the main hall. For once, he's starting to agree with the assessments that Nacho went too far in his rescue... if only a little. They really weren't equipped for this type of seperation with this many people... at least in terms of food and medical supplies. He glances up to the other two for a moment before speaking up. "Well... the good news is we've got enough for a few more days guys... the bad news is I'm not sure how we're going to get much more down without drawing attention. ideas?"
"Ideas definitely, but none of them really things we could pull off," Whiteout admits. He's sitting low in one of the chairs, looking straight ahead, apparently deep in thought from all the indications. "I've been out talking to some of the people down in the lower sectors. A lot of the old inmates want to just raid for the supplies. Some of the others think we should try asking for support from the Council, or some other group. I don't really see either of them as an option. Either way, we're either attacking people who don't have any relation to what's going on, or we're showing how weak we are. Both of those make us open to attack."
Straightaroow nods lightly, leaning back in his chair in deep thought. "Yeah... and even if we had a suitable sponsor for the second option-" He pauses for moment in though, before shaking his head. "Too much of a chance of compromise with Deva. She helped Nachos and us with the original set-up... but now that she's a part of the Councils, they'd be watching her like a hawk. It's too bad we don't know enough to trust the new Technobots." He responds, flipping out a keyboard from the desk and bringing up images of them over the past few days. There's noticable differences in their shells even on a day to day basis. "Someone has to be backing them for as much they're modifying themselves... It's too bad there's no way of getting things done with the more-altered guards, aye? Surprised so many of them stuck around to help when they could walk on out with no one being the wiser."
"It's good to know that it at least seems like we're getting some support from these guys. That's the main good news we've got at the moment. It'll be a different problem if we can't come up with a way to keep everyone taken care of soon though. I don't want to lose all our gains that fast." He watches the images of the Technobots flicket past for a moment. "What did you mean, 'getting things done'?"
"I think what Straightarrow is getting at is that we could be leveraging some of our reconfigured citizens to make some contacts for us on the outside of Paradron. They could be an asset for us in some way, even if we're not certain *how* exactly. Right now, we need to be taking any advantage we can find, even if they are somewhat, well, questionable ones."
