ORDER ONLY Private message to Albion Aurors and Enforcers

Ta for having me along, folks.

We've got four of the buildings locked down and under guard, we've lost three, and we're still fighting for the last three. We could use more hands over here on the west side -- I've definitely seen Crouch and Dolohov, and Ron thought he saw Braithewaite, Montague, and Catchlove.

This complex is a fucking warren and we're never going to be able to hold it for long. I don't know what's involved in waking up Sleepers, but can it be done quickly? Or else we're going to have to Fidelius whatever we can get our hands on.

No sign of Inferi, by the way. Thank Merlin.

Well, the problem is we keep having to leave people to guard the warehouses we've already taken so they don't double back, so we're having trouble advancing further. But if we bring in more, so will they, they seem really determined, and Ron says this is a shit place for a full-out confrontation and I agree.

Hang on a sec --

Okay, Ron says the current plan is to Fidelius what we're holding and then advance further. I don't think we need to use the Neo-F, we should be able to hold it long enough to run the perimeter. Lacing up my running boots now.

[alt_rachel]

Run fast enough and your mother might not have time to look at her clock and see you've run into mortal danger.

[alt_ron]

Send someone with more salt.

[alt_rachel]

Done.

Have back up units ready if needed.

[alt_rachel]

What are you able to report?

[alt_ron]

Sorry. Right.

He's setting the last rune now. We've got him well covered. Once they made him, there was a hex barrage, but he's alright. Winded.

We've got five of the buildings in this perimeter, and Hydra's unit's got a sixth building protected up the northern end of the complex.

[alt_ron]

Finished.

Should have said: we've sent half our lot to Hydra already, and the rest of us'll work our way up there now.

F-F says to tell you he got his mark. Clean shot. I saw it.

[alt_rachel]

Good.

Report as you're able.

[alt_charlie]

Merlin, that's exhausting.

I'm in the Fidelius zone to catch my breath and make sure it's just us in here. We still haven't seen any Inferi, and I think they would have hauled them out by now, so

Fuck. Second --

[alt_charlie]

Oh, those dragonfucking shitlickers, two of the warehouses just went up in a fireball. I can't see what's going on, but it sounded like an explosion.

[alt_rachel]

What about the building Ron said Hydra's holding? Can you see from where you are?

If it can't be held, I want it abandoned.

[alt_charlie]

I can't see. There's been at least one other explosion, but I'd have to leave the Fidelius zone to know for sure, and I haven't quite recovered yet.

I hear yelling, though.

[alt_ron]

We've got it secured. Not Fideliused yet, but DEMLE are pulling back, leaving the anti-A boundary.

Think they're leaving the place to us.

[alt_ron]

Have some people we're going to need to evacuate. Tell Madam P, we'll be sending some her way.


Delia Forney and Marek Volk are dead. Phelonius Kleptman's taken something seriously Dark. Some are bloodied up so much it's hard to tell.

Sending the injured first. As soon as we can get them to the A-point safely.

The rest of us will stay until we get things properly sorted.

Private message to Ron

[alt_charlie]

I'm glad I was there when the call came in, you know. It's not like it was nice, but ... it was nice, getting a chance to fight with you. (Well. Next to you. You know what I mean.)

You're really good at it, too. Rachel was damn smart, snapping you up.

Re: Private message to Ron

[alt_ron]

Cheers for that.

You're right--it was nice fighting with you. Almost like fighting beside another me. I mean, I knew what you were doing and planning, and it was easy to read your movements so we could coordinate. Reckon it's like that for the twins.

It was amazing, watching you run that perimeter-you're proper fast on your feet! And then I realised you were a little brother, too. Just like me. You must've had to be fast to keep ahead of Bill when he wanted to pound you! I know, I got my speed, running from the twins! My eye for reading hexes before they're cast against me, too, yeah?

I saw you wrote Ginny. Is she answering you back? I guess you know she's-- She thinks Bill hurt her. For years. Thing is, Bill's made it easy for her to think so. But she's twisted everything and made all of you into monsters. You and the twins, too, actually.

It's horrible, what she thinks now. And no point arguing with her. I only hope something comes of it. Keeping her talking with me, I mean. It's too awful, otherwise.
