All he knows ICly is that the city was under attack and Osric [Jin'li] and Melkire are involved but he has wasn't able to successfully get any information on anything else.
Kage is a lieutenant and any RP'd captains are MIA.
Ok, Aya informed the Blades I believe, if not we can assume they were informed one way or another. I IC'ed over the LS that I was ordering Flames to all waterholes to prevent civilians from drinking. The Red Wings (in their public capacity as disaster relief) are overseeing the transport of water from Eastern Thanalan, but the supply will be limited and will have to be rationed. Erik was going to coordinate with BBs but I was unsure who was still a Blade at this point. The Alchemist Guild was contacted to examine the water because all we know is something was poured into it. Its not to much of an ic jump to think poison, but regardless the Alchemist are looking to find what is in it and counteract it.
You can post this up on the thread if you like to avoid confusion. If you are "the" Blade at the moment we need to meet IC and sort this out. Even though there was an attack, there is a relief angle, so that make the Wings the lead as far as the Flames go. Since I heard you are operational security, and since there are parallels to RL, that would put you and your's in command Blade wise.

I know a few people were rp testing the water and kahn'a knows the water is posioned as for warren cause he caught Jin'li in the act so I'd say at this time the city is aware of the danger and words of mouth probably should have carried to Kage at this point.
Erik, Kahn'a or Askier could all tell him what is going on at this time since they are part of ul'dah law enforcement and would have a reason to communicate with kage during this time.
Also the Melkire's contact LS has people all IC spreading information. I think Kahn'a was ordering the water shut down for test to so I would definatly think the Brass Blades would have been brought it to contain people from the water.Â

Red Wings is the place to go to right now for information of any kind. Yataghans keep mostly to themselves, I've noticed.Â
So you'd be after Kahn'a or Erik to get looped in.
Several of these replies have mentioned Linkshells - none of which Kage is in or were used as far as I know last night. In fact the only ones Kage used were his personal ones as well as the one for the Quicksand.
How are the Brass Blades in chaos? Is this something that is being decided OOCly by people who aren't RPing as Brass Blades as far as the story is going in this event?
Are we assuming that martial law is in effect so that Immortal Flames have more authority in the matters of the enforcement of law in the city? What is the chain of command in that matter then?
As it is, in Kage's capacity as Lieutenant acting under orders of a Brass Blade captain, he's got standing orders for all Blades to bring in by any means necessary short of death:
Jin'li - For those who have physical descriptions he's asking for people to spread word of his appearance, for he's known to be pulling Melkire's strings.
Osric Melkire and any known associates of his for his part in the attack on Ul'dah that led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people. Melkire is to be held down or his associates are to be held for questioning of his whereabouts or information regarding why he is being played with.
