Shortly after the broadcast from the Tobrade Imperial News Network, a response comes to those who know to tune into the right frequency. An artificially obscured voice speaks in a slow, matter-of-fact manner.
The governor is leaving. Long enough that he needed to put on a show about it. Lord Zazriel from Little Sister holds the reins until he returns. We know little of him, but rumours from Little Sister aren't colourful. Watch him.
Do not mistake this change for an opening. The patrols didn't go anywhere. In fact, they often ramp up during times of change. Whatever you're thinking; think harder.
Instead, talk to your neighbours. Prepare practical things. Water, filters, who has a medic on the block, who doesn't. Whatever is in store, the people who come through are the ones who already knew whose door to knock on.
There are people in this city already doing that work. Quietly, without asking for credit, because they understand that nobody above is coming to fix things. If that sounds like the kind of people you want to know, you probably already know where to find them.
Look after yours.
Tobra for Tobra.
