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 MjĂłifjörður 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.

Don’t take this the wrong way, because I just foresee things becoming very mutually unattractive very fast, but could you actually get me down quickly?

I spent my teens scavenging and running from the law. I am so quick and capable

Well yes, but have you ever scavenged a 6’5”, 190 lb unconscious smoked ham?

What makes you think I'm letting you lose consciousness?

Um. […] I guess you wouldn’t let that happen to me. In the hypothetical.

I swear I would not

But if you're nervous, I can hypothetically be upside down. Easier to catch if something does go wrong but I've got strong legs and good balance so I think I could do it

How about we test our compatibility with a karaoke duet before we get any more hypothetical?

Sorry to Spiderman, but a karaoke duet sounds like even more fun.
