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:

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.

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.

Not a journal necessarily, but I do keep task lists. For work, not for the people I'm hypothetically kissing.

What's next on your task list?

"Don't drown in your paperwork"?

Why do you have so much paperwork??

You don't have a list of people you want to kiss??? Seems weird. I've barely been here and I have one and it's long

Oddly enough, I don't. How long are we talking here?

Very suspicious but I guess I'll forgive you.

I don't know, I feel like I could think of ten people off the top of my head easily

It is none of my damn business but you up to sharing?

I am not embarrassed to share who on this ship I think is attractive! In no particular order:

1. Apollo who was my very first crush as a kid
2. Hache, who might be the most beautiful man I've ever seen in person
3. Lola, who might be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in person
4. Luke, who has very nice lips even if I would need a stool to reach them
5. Irina is very pretty and I feel like she is a very good kisser
6. Jamie because he's very handsome in his glasses
7. Archie because curls and cheekbones are a wonderful combination
8. Ara, even though she is too cool for me (perhaps because she's too cool for me???)
9. Maryle, even though I think we've only spoken one (1) time and I was so distracted by how beautiful she is to really take in the conversation
10. Eleanor because I think it would just be fun and sweet

Honorable mentions go to Philip because his hair looks so soft and touchable and Dom who looks very distinguished with the beard and glasses, but they're too old for me and I don't want to commit to fatherless behavior
