[Locked to Luceti residents]

[malnosso]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

[...Well. There go his plans to use the locked network to issue information updates. If there were going to be unknowns in the enclosure for an undefined amount of time, he would have to hold off.]

Someone will want to keep an eye out for where the Kin'corans come from -- be it random appearance or traveling from a specific direction.

...And someone will want to take stock of what is in the grocery store at the current time.

[voidseeing]

That won't be enough to feed our enclosure plus refugees for long. We may need to send groups out to hunt and harvest from the farm.

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. We need to know what is there to gauge how long those stores will last, especially with an unknown amount of refugees coming in.

[voidseeing]

That's all the more reason to conserve ammunition and hunt using traps and bows and arrows if it comes to that.

[vulcanblazer]

I agree with you there. We should also see how much food we have available from the farms too, as a fall back.

[He really wishes he'd gone out there to farm more often now... well, after this clears up...]

[chikaidestroyer]

[It's a small miracle that any of the farmlands were still usable, with how long ago they had first appeared and fallen into disarray.]

Are you in contact with any of the farm caretakers, Adell? Do any of them have estimates on hand?

[vulcanblazer]

Not at the moment. Haven't talked to Nami in awhile and after Stahn went home, I've been out of the loop of what's been going on out there.

Best as I know, we'll have to go out and appraise it right now.

Just gonna cut in here.

[redjacketthief]

[Wow, what timing...]

A bunch of us actually just started planting a few crops the other day, but they're no where even near close to harvesting. We also have someone out in the fields who looks after things--a pony called Apple Jack. But, I'm not too sure what else is out there.

[He was not going to mention Hamal the Bantha. That was Luke's deal, and he was himself quite fond of the Bantha-chan. Fond enough to not make his presence known as a resource that could be in potential danger. He didn't trust the residents in a time of crisis either.]

[falenandawn]

I'll try to keep an eye out for new arrivals. See if I can direct them to places to stay. [He wasn't exactly staying indoors much these days, anyway.] And maybe we can get more information by talking to them.

[chikaidestroyer]

Our first priority should be bringing them in without any incidents occurring. They will already be agitated and stressed; we need not make the situation more difficult.

But eventually, yes, asking them of their own experiences could prove ... helpful. [To say the least. The survivors would certainly have something to say about the cultists.]

[falenandawn]

Of course. They will need shelter and perhaps even medical care. I would not ask them questions until they are in a state where they feel safer.

[Pausing. It hadn't seemed entirely important at the time, but now he felt like he should have reported to Albert about it sooner.]

Up until yesterday afternoon I was on a mission. I overheard some people discussing an attack, but they would not speak to me or tell me anything directly.

I wish I had thought to be more suspicious of it.

[bamboozler]

The grocery store?

On average, I find around forty to eighty pounds of bamboo arriving each day. I've noticed that more bamboo arrives on Thursdays and Sundays...there was an especially big arrival yesterday! Most of the bamboo arrives in stalk form, but you can occasionally find bamboo juice and bamboo leaves in separate parts of the grocery store. Ah, and there are bamboo sprouts, too, but we haven't been receiving very many of those lately. Last I checked, there are about two bags of bamboo leaves and five bamboo juices left. I also have a collection of my own in my apartment, since I'm a growing panda.

Does that help?

[chikaidestroyer]

[... ... ...

In the time that it took for Albert to realize he was listening to a talking panda describe in detail what it ate and how much it ate, his thoughts had derailed magnificently from anything else he had been focusing on. This was quite like when he could understand all the mundane chatter of the animals in the forest, but now it was coming from over the journals.

He is silent for a moment as he regains his composure.]

Ah. Yes. That does help. Quite helpful for ... pandas.

[bamboozler]

You don't have to thank me so much...! I'm just helping out however I can...!

[A beat, and then:]

[bamboozler]

All of this complicated stuff is really boring. I don't understand it at all.

[voice]

[vor]

There should be a group supervising food distribution.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Undoubtedly. They will have to cooperate with the peacekeeping groups and those keeping records for the hunters, gatherers, and farmers.

Are you volunteering your assistance?

[silversnowfall]

It will be better to have designated space beforehand, as opposed to filling them in haphazardly wherever we can.

[chikaidestroyer]

It will be, but finding such a space and setting up there will be no easy task. The largest indoor structures we have are the battle dome and the barracks, and even those are not meant to hold half the village.

Will you work with the Welcome Center volunteers on arranging housing, Nephry?

[concasse]

I've got a lot of stock back in Seventh Heaven-- [because one does not have Luffy for a captain and not have a secret pile stored away for hard times]-- but that'll be used for anyone who doesn't know how to cook for themselves.

[A pause, and then his tone takes a frank edge, nearly hidden under a sigh]

I plan on keeping track of who comes in for meals so no one gets more than their fair share. Not until the shitty rations get here.

[chikaidestroyer]

[Shitty rations indeed. Albert makes a note that Seventh Heaven will be keeping track of who comes in with meals.]

Thank you. Please work with Katara and the others who will be keeping track of rations. They should also be the first to know when the emergency rations start coming in.

[endgames]

The mindset of the refugees should also be taken into consideration. They've been through a traumatic experience; that alone could make their behavior difficult.

Furthermore, we know from drafts and missions that not all enclosures are as well off as this one. At the least, we haven't seen one that's better. They could be uncooperative. To what extent remains to be seen.

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. The groups that have volunteered for peacekeeping seem to be aware of the increased agitation and stress. Other volunteers who come in will need to be brought up to speed on what they will be dealing with, and information on possible threats distributed.

[deathsdoctor]

... there are the emergency supplies set aside in the dome. [The same supplies that made their appearance during Halloween and the aftermath of the hurricane.] But depending on how many people come, they'll be burned through quickly enough. The stockpiles are smaller than what we had after the hurricane.

[As building them up takes time.]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's good we have any emergency supplies at all. [There was a time when they were putting together emergency supplies during a disaster.] Are you in charge of maintaining them? They will need to be replenished after the initial wave.
