Posting up signs near the crater. It was a task that Aurum had originally meant to bring up to Leroy way before the tremors had happened, but then quite a few different things had gotten in the way. Thankfully, Vigenere had been around to remind him of the idea by assigning him it as his weekly task. Technically the new general had only told him to put up one sign, but Aurum felt as though it was better to be thorough. After all, anyone could approach the crater from multiple different angles, and it was best to make sure than everybody had more than enough warning before they found themselves in the middle of the massive dip in the earth. Just the thought of the encounter with Keter and his collar made him wince, remembering how panicked all of them were, and how betrayed Keter had seemed by the device around his neck. He really wasn't looking forward to any sort of repeat of that, especially with someone who didn't have a device that would alert everyone to their presence before it was too late. So, that morning, Aurum had stepped outside of his house with several boards of wood in tow, calling out quietly, "Hey, if anybody wants to come and help me put up some warnings around the crater, then follow me!" After he had amassed a suitable enough small group of companions, he had turned to head out, leading everyone along.
It was a bit of a trek before they all eventually reached the area near the edge of the massive crater, especially for Aurum, since he couldn't just fly ahead and lose everyone else. Still, it wasn't so bad, and soon enough the angel was staring downward towards the middle of the concave, a little frown on his face. It was madness, how the seemingly inconspicuous formation held untold power. Enough power to infect Leroy and kill him brutally. A shiver went down the former proxy's spine, and he hastily turned around, addressing those who had come with him, "Where does everyone think we should put these up? Just right around the perimeter?" He gestured down to the boards, he had with him, before pausing and muttering, "Oh. And I suppose they'll need a warning symbol. I actually had something in mind for that..." He had seen a human marking meant to indicate radiation, and after out stretching a sharp claw, he carved the wedged symbol into the wood, surrounding the symbol with what looked like the outline of a flame. Showing it to the others present, he rumbled, "That should tell people to stay away. If they know the human symbol in the middle, then they'll know it's radiation. And if they don't, they'll see the flame and know that nothing good can come from continuing." It was a bit sloppy, but making a symbol for anyone to warn of something that you couldn't sense at all was pretty difficult.
