[There’s a clicking noise, then a burst of static, before a moment of silence. A male voice speaks first, recognizable as Greg’s.] Did it work?
[A female speaks up.] Is it a plant? No. How should I know if it works? Mine got eaten by the Hungry Vine.
[A third voice speaks up, a new male.] He was asking in general, not you, Abbot. And yeah, I think it’s going. But not video. You’re the codemonkey, fix it.
[Greg snorts.] Fixing, fixing, bug boy. You go play with your beetles, I’ll get this… there.
[The video flickers on, showing Greg, Caroline Abbot, and another young man who resembles Greg slightly. ]
[Greg nods happily.] Guess what? We have blankets! [He holds up stiffer-looking greenish-white blankets.] We’re going to share! Abbot can explain!
[Caroline sighs.] They’re plant fiber. I modified the Hungry Vine to have stronger limbs, and—
[The other guy shakes his head.] She’ll talk for hours. Look. Plants became blankets. It’s not good weather for them, but you’ll have them. Anyone wants to pick them up, we already dropped off a load at [x,y]. Outreach and shit, since our PR department is fuc—
Matthew! [Greg’s voice is sharp.] There’s a lady present.
[Caroline blinks, staring at Greg.]
[Matthew snorts.] Fine. Since our PR department is sleeping around instead of making sweet, sweet love to all of y—
[Greg reaches over and shuts the sound of the PCD off. He and Matthew talk for a moment, while Caroline looks very awkward. She plays with a vine that’s crawling up her arm, smiling at it. The boys stop talking, and Greg rolls his eyes and turns the sound back on.]
[Matthew sighs.] The PR department isn’t doing its job. So we’re doing what we can. Better?
[Greg nods, then looks off to the side.] We’ve got to stop transmitting for now. Guard cycles. But we’ll answer questions in a few minutes. It should be safe.
[He smiles, and with a quick wave, he shuts off the PCD.]
[[ooc: There are twenty-five plant-fiber blankets at the location listed.]]

[Voice]
... safe. That's what matters.
[Video]
It is.
[Voice]
Oh, and Caroline?
[Private//Unhackable//Video]
I'm sorry I didn't show my face before. There's a shapeshifter out here, and he doesn't know what I look like.
A bit different from what you were expecting, I'd guess. [He gives a wave and a grin.]
[Private//Unhackable//Video]
Yeah. I guess it's the loud ones that aren't nice or something?
[She looks at him, surprised, and then her smile returns to full strength.]
Oh wow! That's not what I expected! You look... How do you wear such a big thing of armor?
