Poisoned would be pretty surprising at this point but 'somehow not good for someone from another world' wouldn't be. Much easier if it's fine though.

They will return trays like everyone and wait around here for someone to tell them the current plan.

The Captain is making an inspirational speech! Apparently with the head-start on lumber Aye gave them yesterday they can raise the Beacon today and work on a steel mill. Everyone on the trail should have several days' worth of supplies, so the focus is on making the city ready for them. He starts shouting assignments after a minute, then comes over to Aye and Genea.

"Good morning. I hope you two are doing well?"

He seems to like those! (Not that she has anything against that.)

Being acknowledged outloud as helping continues to be a kind of weird feeling. Also kind of a nice one. 

...She has to admit some being drawn to the speeches. (If it can only be true, this time...)

What are the associations for 'Beacon' and 'steel mill'?

They are doing well, thank you, and hope he is too. 

The beacon is a way to make the city visible from a distance and talk to people outside it. The steel mill makes metal.

"Well as anyone can be in this kind of situation. So. If you haven't any objections, I have several things I'd like to use magic for today."

More fascinating concepts! She will want to know all about that when she has the time and all that.

She does not have objections to hearing about them, and based on their previous conversations will probably not have objections to doing them!

(Is she needed for this or should she head out to some regular sort of work again?)

"My two big ideas are scrying the world around us to see if there are any surviving Scouts, science teams, exploratory crews, and the like we should go rescue - and attempting to set up permanent heating inside the Generator so we don't need to feed it coal constantly. Or alternately, setting heat up elsewhere so we don't need to run it as hot. Genea, I could ask you to do construction of various sorts, or maybe just hauling things around. We're going to start on a hothouse today if we can get to it - grow food in artificially heated buildings."

She can totally try both those things! Or, well, she can totally try the first two and pretty definitely do the third one; where Genea's from they do heating with mages so she thinks they can be pretty sure that should work.

Did he change his mind about having her do something with beach transport?

Nod. Where should she go for that? Also, she was a fieldworker for some years - she's assuming their agriculture is different, let alone in the ways they're doing it here, but maybe there's some overlap that could be good for.

(While she won't say it outloud, given yesterday's discussion she is meanwhile rather glad to hear they are in fact implementing food growing plans.)

"Beach transport is still an option but it didn't sound like any of our people still out there were desperate for help, so, perhaps check on them again and then look for more long-term precautions, is the idea. Genea, you should join Lucille over there," he gestures. "She's got the plans for doing part of a steel mill and then starting the hothouse. The original plan assumed we would be lower on food and non-sick people, and had the greenhouses going up on day... Six. You normally can't build a city from nothing in a few days. Luckily, Lords made us do a lot of research and work and planning on how to set up an arctic city very fast, you see."

"It's very impressive. Pride and admiration to your people and you."

She heads to join Lucille. 

She's already renewed the warmth on Genea's clothing and all that. Smiles at her as she goes.

Affirmative sign!

"Check on them like now?"

"See if anyone seems sick or injured real quick, mostly. Or if anyone's lost or stuck."

She can sure do that. Should she scry first or just head on over?

"Well, scrying's easier, right?"

Yep. Or, well, some things like that.

She calls up her waterscreen. Scrying, scrying. Beach, boats, all the groups she visited yesterday, any other people who might be elsewhere? (And is that Jeffery kid still ok?)

The boats are accumulating a big field of vessels stuck in the ice but they seem to be mostly getting everyone off okay. The heat area she made is being used as a sort of mustering and rest area for people coming off the boats. The long train of boats heading this way seems to be slowing down now.

There's someone elsewhere! He's a lone man off to the north by a large tree, carrying a large bag of tools, shouting and raging to the sky.

Jeffry is fine, walking along the trail with a few adults leading a whole bunch of kids, all of them holding a rope tied around their wrists in a chain and singing nursery rhymes. A couple of the smaller kids are being carried.

Mostly?

She'll communicate over the non-Jeffry parts of this!

Some of the boats have yet to be unloaded and the scrap bridges and ramps look a bit precarious.

About the guy on the hill, "Probably worth talking to him. I wonder what has him so upset."

She will draw attention to this. Should she do something about that, or hang around while they're still doing it or something? (She's kind of worried that if someone falls into the water they'll die before she can get to them if she's somewhere else and doesn't see it.)

"He's not one of yours?"

"...Yes, very possible you should. Just in case and all. Though, didn't they not want anything to do with you yesterday? Hmm. As for that man, no, I don't recognize him either. That's a Pioneer kit, though. Or most of one, anyway. They sent the Pioneers out almost a year ago."

They did propose she come back! Also she's wondering if bringing a note from him would help or something. And she didn't, like, get the impression they genuinely prefer possibly freezing and drowning to having her around.

"Well, that's what I get for not specifying my scrying properly. Except actually that seems convenient so not really much getting there."

A year?

"I don't know if they could even tell a note from me was real, but it couldn't hurt." He scribbles one out.

"Well if you've got a better plan for that sort of thing I can do that!

Should I get myself on over or is this Pioneer guy first?"
