[Sadie, if anyone cared to notice, has been insanely busy lately and almost always on an IM or with a bowl of oil scrying. If asked, she said she’ll explain later.
Turns out she doesn’t have to. Late Wednesday an IM starts, broadcasted to the whole camp.
Camp, meet Sadie’s brother Carter Kane, Pharaoh and Eye of Horus. He doesn’t have all the regalia right now, just his crook and flail nearby.
To someone off screen:]
And Sadie said I just...talk?
[Amos’s voice:]
Yes.
[Carter’s face makes it very clear that he serious doubts his sister but whatever. He clears his throat before speaking again, this time much more officially.]
Hello, Camp Half-Blood. I am Carter Kane, Pharaoh of the House of Life and Eye of Horus. I’m pretty sure you all know my sister, Sadie. Let me just say--I’m sorry.
[From the Hecate cabin, you can hear Sadie go “CARTER”. Carter just presses on]
But that isn’t why I’ve sent you this, uh, Iris Message. I understand that the leaders of New Rome are in your camp and I need to speak with them about a small problem we’re having in Egypt with some of their...with some of their dead. If something’s happened and the praetors aren’t there, then I need to speak with whoever’s in charge of New Rome in their stead.
[[This is the start of a plot! Also please note that just because we're NPCing Carter for this, it doesn't mean he's no longer appable! He's basically like Rachel Dare--very much an appable character that we'd kill for but one that we need to NPC for this.]]

Reyna here, Praetor of the 12th Legion and Senator of New Rome... I was told the very brief basics of these Roman Mummies, am I to understand that they're causing more problems as of late?
[im]
Exactly. We think the chaos from your earth god waking up and Ragnarok is waking up people who have been dead for centuries. We're hoping that's the case, anyway, since the other option is a lot worse.
[Just saying]
We know how to fix it, we think, but since these aren't our dead we may need back up. Could you send a few godlings out, if we end up needing them?
[im]
Seeing as neither of her dogs stirred at what he had to say.]
Dare I ask what the other possibility is? Irregardless, we will bring this to the attention of the Camp directors and I will impress the necessity to send a few Romans out there to help, should you require the back up. I do not have a full cohort to send you, unfortunately, but we will see what can be done.
[im]
[Sigh magic]
Uh, think zombie invasion. That's the closest thing I can think of for it.
[im]
I'll request, then, that a child of Pluto be sent along with the Romans that do go....
Anything to prevent a... um... Zombie invasion.

[im]
It'll be dangerous--we're pretty sure there's some curses in the area and probably some demons, too. If they want to send a faun into that sort of thing, then sure.
