[Listen, she barely even knows what that is. She only found out detective wasn't his name like 4 days ago]

Martin says that they handle disputes in large cities.

I think I can narrow down the distance from the coast now that I am certain of the island’s outline.

[ Understandable. As far as Levi knows that stuff is "handled" by the Military Police about as well as they handle everything. There's a reason Kenny went uncaught for decades despite slaughtering them left and right. ]

That would be helpful. We can also measure the distance from the shore to here for reference.

[ Imagine that, making a map in correct proportions! ]

[ A small pause. ]

How is... Martin? You said he almost died.

[ He doesn't know him, but he's concerned? ]

[meadqueen]

Steph and I had been working on that before the storm, but of course neither of us know any units of measurement that the other does so it's moving slowly.

Martin is… physically he's recovered. He was taken to the jail by a drone but of course it is no longer staffed. He nearly died of dehydration but was rescued by a small group who were able to locate him in time.

[She had been so convinced that he wasn't going to make it that she’d tried to sneak him into Valhalla]

If you've heard him now talking about waystations, I think that's why.

[wingbound]

...I see.

[ He uses metric and he's pretty good at approximating it with steps, so he could probably help out with that once the storm passes. ]

[ He's not sure how the waystations are supposed to help if you get grabbed and dragged somewhere without supplies... unless the drones didn't take away your stuff, then he supposes it might help if somebody happens not to have any water on them when they land here. ]

He doesn't want anyone else to go through that.

[ It's more affirmation than statement; he doesn't know the man but if this is the case then he's probably a decent guy. ]

[meadqueen]

Yes, to defend others against suffering.

The same thing will likely not occur again as the drones have all been killed, but I noticed that he is reluctant to travel through areas that are not near water.

[Her impression is that people from these large cities are unaccustomed to deprivation]

[wingbound]

[ That's a decent cause. Maybe he'll consider helping. At the additional information, he just makes a vague noise of acknowledgement. He's seen things like that, shellshock or whatever you want to call it, though his experience usually included... situations more immediately traumatic than just being locked up and forgotten. ]

[ Levi's a little too accustomed to deprivation, but then, his "large city" was a little different. ]

[ He seems happy to end the conversation there unless Randvi says something else. ]
