There is a den carved deep within the Carrion Canyon. In of itself, it doesn't span the entirety of its walls, but a network of tunnels branch off from it so distantly that—with the right experience, a certain degree of determination, and more than a bit of luck—a dragon could find their way into this den from nearly any cavern in the Canyon.

This is the den of the Canyon Couriers. It is a bustling place filled to the brim with sleeping caves, supply shoots, and packages. Dragons of all shapes and sizes flit through it's main cavern—a great, hulking thing with wires and lights stretching across the stone like vines. Some choose to live within this den between jobs, others simply come in for assignments and assignments alone.

As the leader of this establishment, Swift would likely be here night and day even if her sleeping den were not located in the pockmarked rock. These dragons are the closest thing she has to a clan and she knows better than anyone else that they need direction. If that means a few sleepless nights, then so be it.

Note: No members of Swift's mechanical Flight Rising lineage are considered members of Swift's lore and her Flight Rising age is not canon

This is the current commander of unit 4128-VA-I requesting assistance in tunnel branch Diode-12. Is anyone recieving this message?

There are no available units in your surrounding area. Situation report?

2 deaths and 4 nonfatal casualties. Initial goals were accomplished but exit has been proving difficult. We need size class dragons 3 and above.

I need more detail.

The opposing forces were armed with explosives we were unaware of. 54813-H was killed in the blast and most other unit members were injured in the attack itself. The exit has been blocked by the resulting tunnel collapse, crushing 43123-F and trapping our only remaining uninjured dragon. As of yet, we haven't heard any attempts to break through the barrier, though we are unsure if this is because we were left to starve or if they're waiting for us to come out. Supplies should last us 2 weeks, maybe 3 if we stretch. We were able to reach our transmission station, but all further exits are blocked by a burrow bear infestation. With our current condition, I don't think we can fight our way through. Please advise.

I'll see if the nearest unit has any earth element dragons to spare. Please stand by.

With all due respect, you would not be recieving this message if there were any other option.

There are no available dragons of earth element or size class 3 and greater at this time.

Size class 2?

Not many. I'd estimate two that are close enough to reach your location within two weeks, and excavation would likely take extra time. Do you know if the opposing forces are still at the tunnel entrance?

Negative. We haven't heard any activity, but we have no way of knowing if they remain on watch. Last we saw, there were around four dragons of size classes 2 and 3 in pursuit, but they could very easily have gained reinforcements.

I can patch a request for assistance through anyway.

If they're still waiting, it'll be a death sentence.

And your situation isn't?

Send them if they can be spared, but please ensure they know to be cautious. They cannot engage if there are dragons at the entrance.

Understood. I'll pass the message on now.

Reinforcements are on their way.

Reinforcements are within one week's travel.

Urgent update, activity has resumed. Do not send in the reinforcements. I repeat, do not send in the reinforcements.

The reinforcement party is currently outside of contactable range. They left the last transmission station yesterday. What happened?

They're trying to excavate the tunnel. Explosions have been going off near the cave-in and we've been forced to retreat further to avoid being caught in another collapse.

Well, there's no way to call them off now. They've been suitably warned, I'm sure they'll keep themselves safe. May Stormcatcher's might be with them.

May luck be on their side.

You use the secular version?

Old habit, I suppose. I picked it up from my parents. They were of a separate flight before they came to the Expanse.

I thank them for joining the effort.

Yeah. Something like that.

Are you the same person?

What?

Are you the same person every time?

I'm unsure why that would be relevant.

Please. Just tell me.

I'm one of two dragons responsible for recieving transmissions from your station. To my knowledge, I have been the only one present for any of your messages.

Thank you.

Are you alright? You're acting a bit strangely.

I'm trapped underground with an entire unit's worth of dragons depending on me to find a way out before we run out of food, there's two more on the way who will very likely die in our name if they make so much as the slightest misstep, and there's been constant explosions echoing through the caverns and preventing most of us from sleeping properly for the past two days. Define what counts as 'strange' in this situation?

Fair point. How long do you think your supplies will last?

Please don't make me think about that.

You know it's procedure. If another option for retrieval comes up, I need to know if there's still someone living to retrieve.

Morbid line of thought, isn't it?

But a reasonable one.

My initial estimate was correct.

Three weeks?

With one left.

Do any of you have messages you want me to pass on? Just in case.

In case things go the way they look like they're going?

In gentler terms, yes.

I'll ask the rest of the unit. Stand by.

With all due respect, if I left this station now then I don't know if I could look myself in the mirror after this.
