[The lights are familiar, welcome and not. She knows that things are moving faster, and the last time they'd seen them they hadn't gotten a whole lot of time before things kicked in to high gear. Which meant that she had no idea when the next time they'd get a free minute would be.

She doesn't exactly put a ton of thought into it before opening up her blackglass and starting the message. It's not like the damn things would be all that useful up on the ship, and if things went the same way they had on Ajna, people were going to need as much practice as they could get before then.]

CALLING: TESS
TO: ALL

Those of you who were around during Ajna might remember the paintball shindig that Sturmhond put together. Considering the light show it seems like the right time to repeat it. Anyone who wants to get some practice in with their guns without blowing all their ammo can show up at the forest on the edge of camp in about an hour for some paintballs. Yeah, it's dark, lucky for you they glow. Unlucky for you they also stain. Extra incentive not to get hit.

[There's an edge of hardness to the woman's voice, maybe something like impatience, but at least she doesn't sound half as angry as the last time she was on the network. There's a long enough pause it seems like she's finished, before she remembers-]

Oh, right, it'll be a free for all. And no prizes except a little bit of extra experience and less bruising. If you don't know which end is the one that fires, I'm sure someone will show you the ropes.

[Which about covered it. At least the hours of work would have some payoff, if anyone bothered to show.]

I guess I'll see you if I see you.
