Has she said anything useful at all?

Not yet. She's replying slowly. I hope that doesn't mean she's moving.

There's not a very large marine presence on this island and Smoker's being kind of useless - for her - you don't think she managed to contact someone else, do you?

I don't know. I've checked all the posts she might have contacted multiple times, and I'll check them again, but she's clearly a civilian and with any luck, the people she'd have to deal with to even get it won't know who she is. That's a long shot, but recruits are lax these days, so one can always hope.

She could do a lot of damage over the internet, too, though. Do most marines have email and shit these days?

That's what I'm hoping she won't realize.

...It's Robin-chan. She realizes everything.

...I know.

I didn't want to have to state the obvious, but we may be in serious trouble.

...

You think maybe we should stop worrying about finding her for the time being and instead make sure all our defense shit is ready to go? Or...form some sort of escape plan possibly...

...That might be wise. I'd say to get Franky and Nami working on that immediately.

Yeah... Yeah, I'll go let them know. Fucking hell.

Do we have any apples?

...Apples? Yeah, a whole barrel of 'em.

Good. I need one.

Feeling low on Vitamin C or something? I got oranges, too.

It's for Hattori. Whenever a situation arises wherein I run the possibility of dying, I give him a treat.

...What, like that'll soften the blow?

Probably not, but would you want to die knowing you hadn't even given your pet a treat?

Mine are so spoiled, at any given moment it's likely they just had a treat anyway. But yeah, I see your point.

He's on a diet right now. I certainly can't die knowing that my pet is hungry.

Ah. No, that would kind of suck.

...It occurs to me that I really need to write his care instructions down.

We got other pigeons on board, is he really that different?

He's much older, so it's a slightly different routine. Also he's allergic to cantaloupe.

Cantaloupe. Right, I'll add that to the list.
