Vieno takes a nice stroll down the beach, loaded down with munitions. How romantic.

There's a boat on the shoreline, with a static-emitting radio hitched to the bow. It's beached on the sand, with the moonlight glinting off the lazy waves as they lap at the shoreline. In the distance, silhouetted on the night sky, there is a small glacier floating around a hundred yards out.

01:43:32TheSpookanist
"Probably." Vieno looks out at the ice. "I thought it was too warm down here for those."
01:44:29%DSJ
Three moseys over to the boat to answer the radio with a «Reading you loud and clear.»
01:45:25~RogetGM
«Alright, I'm taking in an agent injured by one of those fucking birds. You guys gotta go out there and melt that thing or push it back to sea!»
01:46:21
«It's a glacier and if you touch it yer infected and have to get urgent care to live. Birds and small things get overtaken and try t'peck yer eyes out or something like that. It's a real sore spot of a thing to take care of.»
01:46:39TheSpookanist
Vieno blinks, but smiles and piles in the boat with a shrug. "Could be worse."
01:47:25%DSJ
"For sure. Still, you'd think they'd deploy more agents than us for something so dire."
01:47:31~RogetGM
In the wooden boat, which is very large and could comfortably hold around 8 people, there are four oars, a flamethrower with a half-filled tank, and a burlap sack filled with metallic-sounding objects.
01:48:16%DSJ
"… I think I would be better suited to wield that flamethrower, of the two of us."

"Mmm. Jealous." She shrugs and chambers a round in the submachine gun, patting its wide magazine. "I'll cover the skies, yes?"
01:51:08%DSJ
That would be appreciated. Though, I suppose I'll have to row us out there first."

Rowing out to sea, you can feel the gentle lapping of the sea by your boat. Your soon upon the glacier, 20 feet or so out. It's jet black and non-relective. Several birds are silhouetted along the top of it.

"Hmm, the birds make more ice. Too bad they'll run out of birds."

Without being armed or prepared, the grenade sails through the air, binks harmlessly off the ice and splashes down into the water, quickly sinking into oblivion.

With great determination and vigor, you make your way back to the beach. Passing the sinking remains of the ice, you can see a few bobbing bits of ice slowly melting in the water, and smell the sulfurous odor left by the grenade's explosive impact.
