Annora paces around a small room. She soon stops and turns herself toward the camera, taking a moment to collect herself.
Given Michael Jones' leave of absence, it falls to me to ensure the Underloch's survival. We have been stagnant, but I will not allow us to simply roll over and die. We are stronger than that.
The woman collects a stack of papers from a small side table.
I have taken the liberty of collecting the data on our ranks, but it won't do any good if they're outdated, will it?
She gives a wry smile.
Any Gaians receiving this transmission must send back verification on this same channel, listing their name, rank, and the callsigns and models of each ship that they fly. I will only accept transmissions for the next ten days. On February 25th, this channel will close. If you are still loyal to the Underloch, respond to this message immediately. If nobody responds to this channel...
She trails off for a moment, taking upon a more sullen expression, before she looks back to the camera.
Well, let's hope for both your sake and mine that you do respond. Gaia will not bleed.
I, too, am here. I will provide detailed ship information shortly.
Ah, here it is!
[U]-Windbirds.Refuge.II - Pilgrim-class rescue liner. I am captaining along with multiple crew members, who tend to be whomever is around the stations I can convince to fly.
[U]Midsummer.Drought|HL - Percheron class transport. That new guy with the odd name has been helping me pilot this to get needed goods.
[U]-Midwinter.Gale|HL - Claymore. Will asked me to add this onto here. He's still a bit grumpy after the Glendale thing and all and doesn't always like to talk when he's trying to make that tavern of his.

Annora scribbles something on a form, then looks up toward the camera with a small smile.
It's been about a month since the last roll call, so let's have another one to see where we stand now. We have a lot of new people, and I need to make sure the roster is up to date.
This roll call will be open for the next ten days. Please respond to the transmission with your name, the callsigns of the ships you fly, and their classes.
As the video turns on Jacob is seen almost fully covered in engine lubricant.
On the back, the Praying Mantis is seen with it's engine dismantled. Seems like undergoing maintenance.
Oi, Ann! What's up! You thinking about kicking me out of Islay yet?!
He smiles widely, joking. With a playful voice he continues.
Well, for the sake of keeping records up to date, Jacob Fade reporting in with four gaian ships:
[U]-Praying.Mantis: Chameleon Heavy Fighter;
[U]-Man.o'.War: Claymore Gunship;
[U]-Poison.Darfrog: Roc Civilian Bomber.
[U]-Natural.Selection: Enterprise Luxury Liner.
Hope that's all you need.
See ya, girl.
He makes something similar to a military salutation and taps the camera off.
