I'd like to take a moment and pick up the thread of Taryn's post the other day regarding setting our sights on grander ideals: namely, the resources needed for the aftermath of node destruction or deactivation near the bigger Pres cities. Resettlement's only part of the equation, but it's crucial in the aftermath of effectively ripping the carpet out from under their feet. A lot of us have been where they are. The benefit of a solid foundation after a traumatic experience can't be understated.
After having been to all three of our strongholds, these are Resettlement's top contenders for priority resources:
I'm feeling good about how if we can continue with the success we saw at Lammu, especially with that huge reduction in casualties, then we can see expansion in other operations. You've/we've got this. What are all ya'lls thoughts on the above?
Unrelated to the above, I had two people back out of their tattoo appointments next Saturday. If you had a concrete idea or even a concept of an idea, let me know and I can pencil you in. We can workshop whatever you want.
I'm gonna go kiss someone in the library now, sorry Niko.
After having been to all three of our strongholds, these are Resettlement's top contenders for priority resources:
- Space. Simply put, right now we don't have the space between all three strongholds to house the displaced until they're ready to be assimilated into one of our cities or a Pres city. Somewhere like NYC alone has 8 million people. Our biggest stronghold is in Russia; it can hold a maximum of 1000 people, not including our operatives. The Kamchatka Peninsula has a ton of abandoned Cold War-era bunkers. I'm betting on us to be able to secure another one and retrofit it to our needs.
- Medicine and medical supplies. When I touched base with the Mjóifjörður stronghold this morning, they mentioned at least 70% of their new displaced need medical care unrelated to the effects of the node destruction. Meds for chronic conditions, anti-inflammatories and antiseptics, Insulin, adrenaline, puffers. Leadership said most of who brought their meds with them will see it run out by the end of the month. Our Kamchatka stronghold is holding up with the medical needs for the moment, but their medical facilities could be improved with more beds and overall supplies. An MRI machine would be huge.

That's very sweet though. How did you do it?
Lilax.
For context, my parents split when I was eleven. She stayed in our lives, but it wasn't ever the same. My dad met Alejandra two years later, though he never let her visit or stay over if we weren't comfortable with it. He was real considerate about our feelings. My vetting process was if she beat me in arm wrestling, it'd be fine if my dad wanted to date her.
Lilax.
That's really nice, that both of them were so considerate. I never had a parent who cared so I'm a little jealous, I must admit
Lilax.
That breaks my heart, Lilah. You deserved someone like my dad.
Lilax.
I don't really know what that's like either. My only relationships were when I was Veiled and I don't think that really counts because I wasn't myself.
It's okay. Bobby did the best he could and there were adults in Utah who helped take care of us
Lilax.
I will say this: Try to be mindful about who you might end up kissing or dating, because then they live on the same ship as you if things go sideways.
Bobby's a good kid. It's good you had people.
Lilax.
Do you want to vet any potential partners for me?
Yeah. He is
Lilax.
Can I sit them down for an interview and ask for character references?
I'm glad you have him here. I wish my brother were here, but last I checked, he's still Veiled.
Lilax.
Only if I can watch!
My other brother is too, but we'll free them. I don't know when, but we will.
Lilax.
I didn't want to be miserable in love, so I left.
