[Communications are finally up, and people are still trickling into the rendezvous. Armin's gotten in contact, which is a relief, but Mikasa had made some pretty outlandish insinuations regarding his old hand to hand mentor back at the drop and then refused to explain herself any more. No matter how much he doesn't want to believe them that doesn't change the fact that there'd definitely been a fucking titan at the drop, and that's cause for concern anyway by virtue of being a fucking titan.]
[There's a whole lot to be done at the rendezvous, but there's still time between bouts of culture shock for distracting himself with trying to get some answers from the source. (Though it's Annie so he should know better than to expect it to be that easy.) An hour later, in a stunning display of his usual tenacity—]
[He has to think long and hard about sending this, and what to say to keep his cover intact. But he can't not check on her, not when she had been so upset when he last saw her.]

Annie? Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
They said there was a titan at your drop point. I found Reiner but I haven't seen you. Please tell me you made it through all right.
[There's a folded white sweatshirt in the snow outside Annie's rover, almost blending into the backdrop if it weren't for the chickenscratch note peeking out from one pocket. It just reads ANNIE, because Connie still doesn't know how to feel about all of this - her, Reiner, Bertholt, everything.
There were a couple of earlier drafts of a potential note, but they're all tossed now.]
The Survey Corps intends to contact the network between 55:00-60:00 today to request for a fuel supplier or an engineer capable of upgrading our Maneuvering Gear to become more fuel efficient.

While your direct assistance is not required, your cooperation to have your gear inspected by others would be appreciated. If that's not possible either, then maintaining a respectful distance will suffice.
