I've seen Cedric, Lee and Jeremy in last hour, coming in to pick up people. Unhurt but covered with soot, and Lee's broom is juddering, so he can't fly it much longer. Twigs are pretty crisped.

There's a report that MLE has snipers on the path picking off those trying to retreat to the Fidelius zone.

Saw Frank. Alice, and he's all right. Saw a dementor closing in on him, and his patronus was barely there, but I added mine, and he was able to get away.

Shite, blood all over my journal. Not serious, but scalp wounds bleed like crazy, and those inferi teeth are sharp


ADDED: WORD FROM DAVIDSON: DOOMSDAY FULL RETREAT. ALL RETREAT, INCLUDING ALL FIGHTERS, TO BETA SETTLEMENTS. REPEAT, THIS EVACUATION PLAN DOOMSDAY. GRAB ANY WOUNDED OR STRAGGLERS YOU CAN AND RETREAT! WHEN YOU ASSEMBLE IN NEW POSITIONS, MAJORS TAKE A COUNT AND SEND IT BACK TO DAVIDSON ON BUTTON NETWORK. THEN IMMEDIATELY ADDRESS SECURITY AND DEAL WITH THE WOUNDED.

All of you, helping with side-alongs: We're going to have to scramble again. Take some ginger if you're starting to get apparition-fatigued, and for Merlin's sake, don't splinch yourself. Sherwood is spreading out all around the Protectorate now.

On it.

Picking up everyone we can with brooms but bugger, it's not easy in this fog.

[alt_cedric]

Understood.

Anyone at HQ

Button network vital

Packing up root and branch and moving to Bedford

Get people out

Leave everything else

[alt_kingsley]

I'm told all equipment related to the network is out, Alice. And census and support network documentation, and medical supplies.

Everything else is just being left.

[alt_alice]

I'm falling back to Bedford for coordination purposes.

The bike's holding up but that last flight nearly melted the tyres. I had to reinforce the cooling charms.

Anyone get a bead on Bellatrix? I don't think it's good strategy to give her a third chance at me. I'm taking one more passenger to the nearest retreat zone. Thorsby, I think; Budby's overrun in the north. Let me know which direction to head after that.

I'm with Desai in Rainworth. Have been in Warsop, Meden Vale, Cuckney, Mansfield, Shirebrook, Pleasley Vale. I'm forgetting one or two. Lots of short hopping.

All have rune markers outside village. Collecting evidence of collusion b/w villages and Sherwood. Reckon there'll be reports in news about it. Desai's got photographs. And now we've got prisoners making confessions.

Loads of dead and wounded. MLE, too. Some of them look as bad

Signs it was Inferi.

They burned all the wooded places. MLE did. Reckon you know.

More if I can.

Am fine.

[alt_kingsley]

Damn, damn, damn.

Understood. There are a few other villages you haven't mentioned; we'll spread word on the button network to remove any stones MLE haven't found if we can.

Elkesley was safe enough. Actually found an abandoned house where my passenger will be all right for now.

Where to next? Back to central to help with those still on foot? It'll take 30 minutes.
