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.

Which half?

Who's on your list?

[murphyy]

i don’t think we need to get that specific. just, half.

Casper

[delilahs]

Will you tell me privately?

cade.

[murphyy]

haven’t ever known too many people in general. […] think at some point or another, i’ve thought just about every friend i have was attractive.

cade.

[delilahs]

God, same. I nearly put you on my list but I didn't want Bobby's head to explode if he saw you and Apollo. Who knew the resistance would be so beautiful though?

I think it's fun to think about in a "I need a distraction from the Horrors" kind of way rather than a "who shall I seduce next?" way but it seems normal to not have a list (despite how I teased Jax)

[murphyy]

[…] eye candy’s a nice distraction, yeah. and distraction’s always nice.

cade.

[delilahs]

We deserve nice distractions in whatever form they take

cade.

[murphyy]

i’m sure you’ll find all the distractions you want if you want ‘em.

cade.

[delilahs]

Nah, this is just fun, I'm not actually trying to get with anyone

Though Irina and I are going to give it a try

cade.

[murphyy]

irina’s […] real pretty. have fun.

[clandestinity]

no no. we do need to get that specific.

[murphyy]

we don’t tho.

[clandestinity]

you know what they say, darling. sharing is caring.

[murphyy]

you can make a list if you want someone to share.

[clandestinity]

it would be easier to make a list of the people i do not want to kiss. (but i would never, that would be rude.)

[murphyy]

pretty sure you can kiss whoever you want.

[clandestinity]

no, not everyone.

[murphyy]

almost.

[clandestinity]

you may find this hard to believe, but there are people on this ship who do not like me! i know for a fact that one person hates me.

(i do not take this to heart. their hatred fuels me.)

cala.

[murphyy]

who hates you?

cala.

[clandestinity]

pamela, in the mess hall.

cala.

[murphyy]

is it 'cause you broke her heart or something else?

`cala.

[clandestinity]

i think she just has it out for me. she is always giving me very small portions and glaring. we ran into each other in the gym one morning and she accused me of stealing her treadmill. (it was my treadmill.)

cala.

[murphyy]

guess she's got awful instincts, then.

cala.

[clandestinity]

there may be others you don't know about too. i just think perhaps [...] i don't know. i worry you don't think i have anything to be insecure about.
