Dave's watch taps his wrist, and his phone emits a soft chirp. With an apologetic glance at the group, he pulls out the phone and taps the screen a few times, looks puzzled, peers around the room for a face expected and not seen, and then reads further.

"CODE RED!!!" bellowed Greg as he read the message that Dave brought up, "while we're whining about our lack of Wapsi, another of us has suffered loss!!! I hereby dissolve this meeting- second?"
"Seconded," muttered Dave.
"Agree'd- I doubt there should be need for vote," added Al.

Gyrrakavian started his gate one more time before he gathered his bag to heft it through and then climb in himself. Glytch's face paled as he read the message. His mood was rather subdued as he left.
