ORDER ONLY: staying on top of things

[alt_alice]

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.

Thank you for helping me wade through all this, love. Your visit on Friday did me a world of good.

I know you've been stepping it up recently too, even though it's hard for you to get away from the Reserve, and I appreciate it endlessly. I know your schedule is trickier than some of the others, but if something comes up that you can lend a hand with, just let me know.

Frank's magic isn't working.

At all.

He can't do the most basic of spells, either with his wand or without, and trying utterly drains him.

He found out when he tried to write a private message to Neville and Evelyn the other day, and finally told me about it this morning.

He's physically a little weak, but considering everything, is in rather good health -- he's eaten some, and I suspect he would be pacing around the room if I weren't insisting he rest for the time being.

Any suggestions you could give would be much appreciated.

Frank is unable to do magic of any kind.

I will inform you if when this changes.

Given that I have to transform to Padfoot to stake out Strangeweale's house, and given that I wasn't supposed to transform for a week, I haven't been able to do much more right away. It's my priority, though, as soon as Padfoot can appear on the streets again.

How's Frank?

Frank? Oh, Alice.

How is he coping?
