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.

Thank you.

adrían.
For new reasons or are we sticking to the classics?

Dom.

[adrii]

I might have gotten my feelings hurt.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

[...] What did you do?


The collective you, to be clear. What happened?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

I was forced to acknowledge something I didn't want to, Niko was his charming self, and now I'm being petty in response.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

How grave?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

Not very. I just have a feeling that I'd rather not interrogate.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Adri, at the risk of sounding repetitive: what happened?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

He's sleeping with or has slept with de Vries and my fragile ego can't handle that.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Forgive my ignorance as I've been bereft of news for the past year, but have you joined the monogamous ranks?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

Santa Maria, no. I still have room for you.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

I'm flattered. Are the feelings for Philip?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

You should. Yes, they're for de Vries. As well as some complicated masochistic feelings for Niko.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Yes, yes, we all know how much the two of you love to stare at each other's throats. This issue doesn't sound like Niko's fault, Adri, and you've already acknowledged that. [...] I assume you and Philip haven't spoken about it, however?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

There's nothing to talk about.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Nothing except a hit to your ego dramatic enough to make your friends collateral damage?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

I liked you better on the ground.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

I agree.

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

So why did you get pulled?

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

[...] I assumed all the Heads were briefed since Nikola was. [...] I displeased Bishop in a profound way.

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

I might have gotten something but I want to hear it from you.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Why?

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

Because I want you to.

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

[...] Neuroplastic aftershocks and I have been close acquaintances since shortly after the Fall and I may not failed to disclose this when I was recruited.

Adri/Dom.

[adrii]

Bishop didn't use enough expletives.

I'm not going to ask what you were thinking. How are you managing the effects?

Adri/Dom.

[loculus]

Not to be trite, but I think we know that if I was managing well, I wouldn't have been removed from the field.
