This is Riku. I've met some of you already, building the boats or around town.

[ He's not the most outgoing guy, preferring to show his community spirit by working around Beacon. One might have seen him patching rooftops with handmade shingles or filling potholes with sand and stones. Those from the first ferry in might recall he helped move excess furniture from rooms in the Invincible so people could live in them. ]

I know we've all got a lot going on. I wouldn't ask for your help if it wasn't important.

[ Riku says it like he's not used to this. Thunder growls heavily in the background. ]

Some people went missing. I need to go find them before this rain gets any worse.

[ So why take his concerns to the network? ]

I can't be in two places at once. The lake... It's rising, and so is the river. We need to protect our supplies, whatever's left after the rats.

You can use the boat building materials down by the boathouse if you need them. Just get to it before they wash away. And-

[ He exhales, hesitating to give such an obvious warning when so many are assured of the dangers. For his own edification, he does anyway. ]

Be careful. It's down to us.

Which people, precisely? And are you asking for help protecting the supplies or looking for them?

And if it's the former, Riku, [because she can well guess how this might be playing out in his head,] what makes you think they're still around?

[ She recognizes the voice, but it takes her far too long to figure out how to use the device to reply to his message. It should be like a walkie-talkie, but...alas. ]

I can help. [ Keep the supplies dry...whatever supplies they are, and whatever they're being used for. ] And I can keep the rats away.

[ Easy enough to sit around with whatever items he wants protected, and she can fling the rats out into the water, should they get too friendly. ]

Already on it, trying to dig trenches around the Invincible to divert the water. Who's missing? I'll let you know if I see any sign of them.

Are you going to be okay?

[She has a huge worry...please don't go missing, too, Riku.]

[ immediately, daylight's voice pipes up, already full of concern: ]

Do you need help in looking for who went missing? I think the others will take care of the boat materials. I can give you a hand in looking in whoever disappeared.

Hey, uh, detecting and finding people was sort of my job back home. Maybe I can help?

What makes you think you'll be able to track the missing people down? Isn't it exactly easy here, love.

If you're going out into the woods after your friends, at least bring something to mark your way back so you're not stranded out there too.
