ORDER ONLY: staying on top of things
Now that we've got a better idea of the state of Saltash, we can act accordingly.
I'd like to send a contingent over to Bedford and Saltash that includes Regina and Lisa as well as some of the Aldrich community leaders. They can talk trade, as well as to work through their process of setting up a system of governance, sustainable living, and radio communication. I'd imagine the people from Aldrich would be quite useful here, as they've had a few months to adjust.
Lee, Jeremy, I'd like you both to work on coordinating the trip to Bedford. Remember, the people from Aldrich and Regina are going to be the experts here -- your job would be to bring them together, record the proceedings, and make note of any way we could be of use. And Lee, our Danny and Victor have come up with several prototypes of how to convert radios from electrick to hand-powered -- if you could pass along those samples to both Aldrich and Bedford, they might be able to help in making more so that we can then send them on to the camps.
Kingsley, Dorcas, if you could continue to work with Saltash, pass along medical supplies and see if you can dig up a docter who can be useful, that would be very helpful. I figure that you can organise a similar meeting to the one at Bedford once we address their more immediate needs.
We've still got several cauldrons on the fire that we need to keep our eyes on. The camps who are on reduced rations -- Ashford, Chipstead, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Swale -- we can't leave them without continued support. Sherwood has committed to funneling some extra supplies to them as they can, and have also been able to help distribute nutritional supplements. Frank had been working with the handful of wand holders in the camps to show them how to cast glamours so that the residents appear more thin and unhealthy -- they might need some further assistance, and in a few weeks, we might take advantage of an expected increase in deaths and get some people out of there. Tonks, while Frank recovers, you might lend a hand there.
Cecelia is still working on the additional information regarding the magical fields from Sirius, Tonks, and Charlie. I'll let you know once she comes up with anything definitive. Evie, she got your maps. Thank you for passing them along.
Sirius, where do we stand in terms of Strangeweale? What is the next step for that mission?
We've also got to stay on top of the black wands. We're spread fairly thin as it is, so I think the best thing we can do is to continue to work on our recent magical births, keep the button network informed, and take care of Strangeweale as soon as we have enough intel to proceed. Molly, Remus, I'll most certainly be asking you for your continued help when it comes to getting the latest crop of babies to Moddey.

Re: Private Message to Alice
He makes for the world's worst patient. Or perhaps the second worst -- you might have to fight him for that honour. He's not the sort for sitting around.
And I suppose sending people you love into a war zone and having far too many close calls for comfort can do a number on one's nerves.

Re: Private Message to Alice
He hid it from me until this morning.
We don't know whether it's permanent, or just a side-effect, but he says it feels like he's missing a limb. And he won't say it outright, but I can tell that he's terrified that it'll never come back.
And whenever I try to talk to him about what our options are, it just reminds him further of what he can't do. I've tried to tell him that it's only been a few days, and we don't know what will happen in the days to come, but it's been hard going, and I'm worried about him.
He doesn't do well when he's at loose ends. At all. And he's had such a good year and
I just want my Frank back. I want him to be able to be happy that he's alive and here with me.
I'm sorry to put this on your plate.
I suppose that's what you get for asking.
We're waiting to tell the rest of the Order until we know more. I don't expect you to keep this from Tonks and Remus, though. Especially given how closely Tonks and Frank have worked in these last few months.
Re: Private Message to Alice
No, I'm glad you told me. Who else knows? Albus, I assume - did they know this might happen when he cast the spell?
It'll be all right, Allie. There are worse fates.
I can't imagiAfter all, millions of people live without magic every day, their whole lives.And it might come back, as you say.
I can completely sympathise with how he must be feeling, though.
You know, Terry asked--well, I'm not going to confirm anything to him but he asked yesterday if I detected a difference in Frank's scent. (Of course I wasn't in dog form anywhere near him since Saltash so I wasn't much help.) But he might guess something's wrong if he spends much time around him.
Alice, I'm sorry. Truly.
Re: Private Message to Alice
I'm sure that will help.
It's just that right now at least, he can't see what use he'd be to anyone beyond his magic. He kept saying it today. 'I'm bloody useless.'
I get the feeling he wishes he hadn't woken up. Which concerns me greatly.
And when I try to convince him of his worth, and tell him what I value about him and what he means to me, to the Order, to our children, he dismisses it and says I'm coddling him out of pity.
Re: Private Message to Alice
But this is so unknown, I doubt they'd be able to help much.
Re: Private Message to Alice
We can cope, Alice. He should still be able to use a Floo, anyway, and there's Saltash - he wouldn't be able to use magic there, even if he had the use of his wand. They all can use hand-to-hand training if they mean to ever leave the camp.
There are those of us he can't accuse of coddling him. We'll keep him honest.

Re: Private Message to Alice
And I would appreciate a visit very much.
