ORDER ONLY: staying on top of things

alt_aliceNow 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.

Private Message to Poppy and Severus

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.

Date: 2013-11-17 05:00 am (UTC)Of course, it might depend a great deal on what that bit of magic he did with Albus consisted of... and I would really need to examine him myself....
This is terrible.
I know of two, no three, protocols one might use to shore up the magic of someone whose reserves have been perilously drained--one to halt the guttering of a failing capacity, the others to bolster over-tapped resources that are not yet quite at the brink.
But you say he's known for more than a day... And that he can sense no response at all? Or, I can imagine you might not have wished to ask quite so probing a question... Is there a chance he does have a bit of response, though not enough to summon a quill or illumine a lamp?
If there is some reserve remaining, we might try these potions. And, of course, I'll have a word--words--with Albus about it.
Beyond that, you're quite right that rest is absolutely what he needs. And that includes not attempting any magic for a stretch of days. I wish I could tell you that two days or three would do it, but there's no guessing from individual to individual. Tell him a week. To be safe. With no magic at all.

Date: 2013-11-17 05:06 am (UTC)He might be overstating due to panic, but he's not the type to exaggerate.
It still might be worth our while to try the potions, though. And I will most certainly tell him your recommendations regarding rest.
