video; forward dated to JULY 31
There's somethi▒▓ very wrong with engineering. [ The announcement's accompanied by a convincing visual: a view of one of the lower walkways in engineering, the rails on one side twisted. The ladder up to the next level is warped, too, cut off several feet from the landing it's meant to be attached to. One of the walls just to the right of the camera seems to buckle as the view's turned away.
The shrill sound of metal distorting and grinding wavers in and out, a steady background noise that's broken only by short bursts of static. When the camera turns to face Fitz, the lights flicker and stay dim. Very horror movie chic. ]
I can't get back to the ▒▒ive or out of the blo▒▓ hallways, and it's— [ He pauses, glancing off screen for a second. There's no clear evidence of what's got his focus, but another low whine of metal makes it easy to assume. ]
Rikku says it's the s▒▓▓ ▒▓ the last time engineering went tits up, but I haven't been able to fi▒▓ her or anyone else since it started. [ A louder crash of noise this time that begs a second of distracted silence, then a curt: ] If you get anywhere near engineering, use ex▓▒▒▒ ▒aution.
[ Then the feed stops. ]
( OOC: Replies will happen, but they may be icly delayed! Post coincides with second part of July 31 plot. )

I think it wants to keep us away from the engines.

We usually know this place like the b▓▓▒ of our hands. If we find the ▒░░░t spot, one of us should be able to ▒▒ something.

Everything's all ▒░side out. You must've found some way to navigate it the last time.

[ That's an exaggeration. He's seen sections of engineering that look almost right, it just hasn't lasted long; and it's been impossible to get back to them. Either way, nothing's been obviously damaged, aside from the... inside out part of it. ]

[ yeah, guess who's high-tailing it to engineering. ]

Don't c▓▓▒ ▓nywhere near engineering!
[ Mind reading? No, just Skye. ]
[video]
His video jumps slightly, but shows his concerned face as he slows down for just a moment.]
I'm on my way. Is there anything that will help you guys out? I'll bring whatever I can with me.
[video]
No, don't come to en▓▓▒▓▒ing, it's like a bloody Escher painting. You'll just get stuck along with the rest of us.
[ The rest of us being him and Rikku, as far as he can tell. ?? And now probably also Skye. And Tadashi. ]
[video]
I'll be stuck until we can solve this. You guys need more hands in there if things are as bad as you say. I'm nearly there and I have my supply pack with me.
[Nearly means another twenty minutes, but one of the hallways Tadashi chooses along his route doesn't lead to the corridor it should have. Tadashi has just enough time to register surprise before the interference hits in full and his feed fizzles out.]

[An urgent whisper, maybe not even meant to be transmitted at all. But the rest is direct:]
You have to find the drive. He's trying to take it away.
[voice]
[ he sounds a little terse. ]

[A beat, almost looking like she's listening to something else.]
Or they'll show you the way.
[voice]
No ▓▒sh.
[voice]
[She sounds determined, or maybe just stubborn.]
I remember where it's supposed to be. That has to be a start.
