[Filtered to Wardens + Former Wardens + Erik]

[Charles sounds more tense and tired than anything else when he clicks on the audio feed, because he hasn't really slept much since the beginning of the week, and it's starting to wear on him.]

Does anyone actually have any solid theories about who might be behind this? Something, anything concrete, because honestly, I'm not comfortable doing a more thorough telepathic scan of the people on board until I've got something specific to go off of, especially considering whoever it is might not respond all that kindly to someone poking about in their minds, and I'm not sure provoking them is really going to do much good. [That's definitely a sort of sarcastic attempt at a joke. B(]

[Spam for Zero]

[Charles understands why Zero exists as a concept, but he's never really liked it. He likes it even less now that every time he goes down there, he remembers different rows of cells, of being filthy and hurting and terrified, and sometimes the memories seem almost too real, especially because as much as he'd like to think things would work out fine with this, he didn't know for certain and he sort of wants to be sick.

But he knows it's worse for the people actually in the cells, and so he busies himself with trying to help whoever he can. He's been down here since the new Admiral's announcement, providing blankets and food, making sure people stay hydrated and as cool as possible, trying to talk them through the hallucinations or just offering a hand to hold if they need it. It's difficult without his telepathy sometimes, the cells blocking his ability just as effectively as they always had, because he could just tell people to calm down, to go to sleep until they were let out again, but now he couldn't do anything but be there for them, and that didn't feel like enough.

He's wearing the flight suit this time, not wanting to run the risk of another incident like what happened with Senji, and he's putting up a very convincing brave face, but all he can think of is how is this going to solve anything? Yes, there were flaws in the system, but he wants to know what the point of this all was, because torturing people wouldn't solve anything, and there's no question in his mind that that's what this is.]

[ooc: Charles has been and will be down in Zero trying to help people pretty much throughout the event, so feel free to tag in at whatever point in the timeline works okay for you! Tags/multiples/fuzzy time/etc all welcome. c:]
