"Find the Pioneer if you can. He's been up here for longer - he could use the help and reminder he's not alone, and he might know about other settlements that need help."

"Can do. What should I be telling him about you guys? Is it alright to bring him here and/or to the beach? Anything I should take with me?"

"I'll get you some food for him. Tell him we've started the generator to the south and are building a city, and leave it at that, at first. I want to hear his story before explaining everything. Best not to bring him anywhere right away, he seems awfully upset. Maybe you should bring one of ours with you to greet him, actually."

"Good plan.

Can someone help me figure out where he is - or do you have a map or something - or am I doing it?

I can do it, just might be a bit longer."

"We do not have maps of this place. When the beacon goes up we can make one."

He heads for the cookhouse.

She'll take that as a 'she should do it'. Lies back down on the ground again. Scry, scry. Where is he, wider field? What's between here and him (that one's harder, but she can make it happen.)

This man is on a hill with a lone tree. There's a long trail of disturbed snow to the north, that ends at a metal sled of some kind and then footprints leading to the hill. Between here and him is mostly empty snowfields, though there's a stand of trees off to the 'right' and a rock formation that makes a good landmark to the 'left' of the path between here and there.

He seems to be done ranting and raging. Now he's crying.

Well that doesn't seem great!

Can she figure out anything about how far it is?

About a quarter of the distance between here and the icebound beach. Probably within a hard day's hike for someone used to snow.

Oh that's nice, she was worried it was going to be farther. This will be no problem then!

She'll wait for the food and travel companion to arrive, and meanwhile scry the beach again to check that all is well.

There's blood on the snow. The ocean is freezing over more and more, and lots of ships are turned on their side or sinking now. There's no sign of whose blood that is. A couple dozen people are still on the closest boats, stripping the more accessible ones of deck timbers and machinery and metal panels.

...She's spoken to the Captain a few times now, fairly in depth a least once, it's not exactly ideal but she should be able to -

She checks quickly that he's not somewhere the surprise will be a major danger, then,

Hey Captain, I think you might have a problem at the beach. And I'd like to go try and do something about it. (She won't be able to send as much of an impression of her scry as she could to Genea, but she can send some, with metaphorical mental highlighting.)

He flinches and swears loudly from inside the cookhouse. He is really alarmed at the whatever the hell this is!

Not a good sign at all but not a very directional one here.

Might go better if someone goes with me. Or I can go literally right now.

Stop doing this what the hell is this- Fuck I dropped the food-

Oh for sky's sake. She stops contacting him. She scries the beach some more. (If she can't see an immediate emergency and nothing has gotten even worse she'll wait here for a little for someone to come talk to her how they like better before disappearing.)

Nothing about the beach situation has changed. The Captain runs out of the cookhouse to meet her.

"That was incredibly unnerving, please don't do it without warning. What's going on."

"Sorry. How should I be doing the warning? Possibly tell me later."

She shows him the scry results. "Kind of concerned about what's going on at the beach. Unless this actually looks fine to you I think I should maybe get over there pre Pioneer-finding." She's kind of worried she should be getting over there right now but. She did send him impressions and he didn't react with that and she hasn't seen literally someone dying so hopefully it's worth the time this conversation's taking.

"...Probably there are injured people. That doesn't sound like the atmosphere of a fight. I agree that it's worth checking out."

...She's not really sure why it matters if it was a fight or not that, but she'll ask that later. "Sending someone with me?"

He sees the uncertain look on her face.

"If it was a fight I have to worry about who was fighting and why. If it's an accident I don't. MATT! He's not a doctor but close enough," he comments as someone scurries over.

"Some of our people may be injured on the beach. Think you can go help them?"

"Sure thing, Boss. I've got my bag already. Just build me an infirmary while I'm gone."

"It's on the list. Can you check out this pioneer Aye found with her for me too?"

"Happy to help."

"That alright, Aye?"

Then she will not need to ask later after all, and that makes sense as a leader-y think to need to think about.

Sounds alright to her. Thank you. Is Mahan ready to be teleported off? 

"Sure thing, Miss- Boss- Er. Are you a boss, too? Or what? Seems a mite rude to just call you by your first name."

...what does the concept behind boss look like? (also more of the concept behind miss, aside from the 'term of address' and 'woman and not married' bit.) ('Why it might be rude to call her by her name' isn't something she's going to be able to get from translation so she'll need to infer that, but she has the concept of terms of address and such like, and thinks she can make the inference, if without probably various local details.)
