savetheearth | II - [video] [Sage speech broadcast, backdated to the 15th]

[the video is a small, grainy, vertical rectangle, and very unsteady. After this someone needs to convince Emmanuel to get himself a smartphone, since his old flip phone has terrible quality. The audio is garbled and tinny, though it sorts itself out after a moment into something decipherable at the very least. Maybe the network pulling some of the weight the phone can't. It's difficult to see anything but the dark outlines of the backs of people's heads, though as the camera pans across the group, glimpses of the Sage can be seen.]

[The others are talking amongst themselves, and nothing above the low chatter can really be made out until Emmanuel clears his throat. He's still off-camera.]

I, uh...if this is important, it's probably a good idea if everyone can see it, so--hopefully you can hear everything on the other side.

[the video then goes on to show not much of anything for about a few minutes, before the Sage decides to speak up. Everyone falls silent.]

[and then things go south.]

[the audio explodes with chaos, and the visual jerks wildly before a voice that sounds a lot like Julien's shouts:]

Look out--

[the phone clatters to the rocky ground, and there's a crunching sound before the connection cuts out.]

[ooc: I'm going to post two sub threads: one for before the Sage's speech, and one for after. The first is for general chatter for anyone still at home sitting it out, as well as anyone in the mine browsing the network for whatever reason. The second Emmanuel won't be replying to, and anyone wanting to arrange outside rescue attempts can do so there if they like! Also, this doesn't have to be the only broadcast.]

I can get a van and some supplies. Just tell me where to go.

The mines. We'll - likely need to pick up those without transportation.

You can get medical supplies?

A couple first aid kits that I sort of put together after the last time I set myself on fire.

...I won't ask. That's better than nothing.

Do you happen to know where the mines are in the first place?

Let's jsut say I need to read directions before trying something stupid. [he's just reckless. seriously crazily reckless]

If it's on the north side past the city, I used to drag race near there as a kid.

Please do.

I'll see you there shortly - I hope.

Are you getting a lift?
