[ The feed clicks on to reveal Finn and The Doctor, probably an unlikely duo to find on the network at this hour. The former doesn’t give anyone time to speculate, though, and just jumps right into it. ]
Ma'am Mariol contacted a few of us. She said that Serthica is pumping some sort of gas into the Mouse House, something that makes people slow and tired. She's convinced it has to do with heating, but she also told us it happened before, right after the coal sickness.
After our conversation, I went down there to investigate the composition of the gas and its source. All that we know for now is that it contains many of the sedative and memory loss ingredients discovered recently by those in our group, Caitlyn and Vi.
Everyone's okay for the moment - well, I use that term loosely - but how long that lasts, we can't be sure.
[ He's also worried about his little buddy, Gavroche, who was unusually skittish and reluctant to explain why. He's put a pin in that for later. ]
Not the easiest, going back and forth there and getting through customs, but I'll plan to visit with them again in a day or two, make sure they're still well. [ Checking in over the pendants isn't satisfactory enough for him. He'd be going back and forth more frequently if he could, but he has to operate within the limitations of their present situation, which frustrates him, to say the least. ]
Some of us had spoken previously about organizing efforts to help their situation down there, but that was before we realized what they're doing to them. Everything's changed now.
[ Finn, who’s been watching and chewing on his bottom lip, jumps back in. ]
They need our help. For one, we have to find the source of this gas leak. Whether it’s intentional or not, whatever the gas is, it needs to be stopped.
Second-... Well, I’d like to get her and the kids out of there and bring them to Minaras but that’s going to take more money than the Doctor and I have. Hard to say it’s really safer up here, but I think pooling money together for this could be worth it, anyway, if for nothing else than to just improve their situation once we handle the gas.
If anyone has spare change or more ideas, we’d appreciate it.

[ So much 'what the fuck'. ]
This is their home, they shouldn't have to leave it. Besides, who's going to be able to fund that long-term?
[ Vi can already picture how people topside will treat the orphans. People up there aren't going to be happy about having a bunch of poor folks suddenly pour into the streets.
Temporarily, til they fix the leak, maybe. ]
We're better off finding the gas leak. Which means finding the people behind it.

The leak is a high priority, but I have no idea where it could be. Mariol seemed to think it was something to do with heating, so maybe the engineers or people who accept the coal. They could be a place to start.
