[The sound of Leia's voice makes Rei flinch slightly. The feelings wafting from the older woman are not pleasant, and call to mind quite a lot.]

I...am not sure how you plan to do that. I know full well that brooding can't help, but I have no idea what else to do. I can't navigate out of these caves, and even then, I'm low on supplies.

[Even Mars needs water.]

What are you thinking, though?

[Yes, well, Leia's life has not been all parties and ballgowns. Some parts of it kinda sucked.]

I don't have anything definitive yet, but I also don't know the full capabilities of those we're trapped with. I've seen so few in action since I arrived that it's hard to plan ahead much.

What I need is someone to help me assess our current situation and how to get out as many people as humanly possible.

[Leia sighed as she looked around.]

I've been able to heal a few people of burns, but that was the biggest injury we've had so far. Aside from the boy who appears to have...melted, everyone is physically fine. If not hungry, dirty and tired.

And you think that person is me?

[Rei is actually somewhat confused by the statement, her sense perplexed. Completely so. Yes, Leia knows she can manipulate fire, but Mars? No, Leia's not on the list. The other Leia is...but...]

I mean, there are some very powerful individuals here. If you want information, I guesS I can tell you about them.

Rei, are you alright? After we all passed out down there, I wasn't exactly sure what would happen next. Have you seen either of your friends yet? Please respond ASAP.

Leia

[Rei's reply comes a little while later, after she climbs out of the bath. Sorry, she won't take calls in the tub]

I'm fine. I'm just fine. I was in the bath. Ami-chan and Minako-chan are here with me. We all woke up together.

Are you and Solo-san doing okay?

[Leia never expected Rei to text from the tub. Afterwards is fine.]

Good. Have you heard from any of the other people we were trapped with? I am checking in with those I know first.

And Han's fine. He's still asleep. We've been in some pretty similar situations before.

Yu Narukami, Dipper Pines, Athena Cykes, Phoenix Wright, and Ryuko Matoi are all well. And a few from outside the volcano

And you? Who have you heard from?

Mr Narukami, Mr Wright, a young man calling himself Hiro. And acquaintances that appear to have been in other places on Tellus's surface as well.

Everyone appears to be well. You and your friends were the last I had yet to hear from, which is why I contacted you instead.

Have you noticed anything missing from your apartment?

I've heard from all of them as well.

And yes, actually. My bird's perch is gone. An old coat-rack with felt on the prongs. Have you seen it? I've heard of things going missing.

No, I can't say that I've seen it. I am missing a pendant that was given to me by a young woman. Gold chain, emerald tear drop. It was locked away before we were kidnapped and seems to have disappeared while we were gone.

I haven't seen anything like that. But that means they were certainly pawing through our things.

I suppose I will have to ask on the network. There are worse things than that, I'm sure, but the fact that our privacy was violated while we were gone doesn't actually surprise me.

I'm only curious as to how many times it's happened before without our knowledge.

Probably more often than I care to think about it. Disgusting...

But you may want to, yes. I'll just have to make Phobos and Deimos a new perch.

Yes, the thought is unsettling. We'll just have to be more vigilant, I suppose. If that's possible.

Is there anything else missing? I can keep an eye out while I patrol later today.

No, not that I'm aware of. But I'll let you know.

Take care, Leia-san.

Thank you, Rei. Please let me know if there's anything I or Han can do to help you and your friends. Take care of yourselves.
