[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.

I think you've got the right idea of it. If supplies are limited, we'll have to manage with our own.

[markofthewise]

The forest is filled with meat. It would be crazy not to use it.

[screw_fate]

Meat, vegetables, edible leaves and roots as well. If we're to feed half the residents of another enclosure with "limited supplies"...

[markofthewise]

What we really need are some good nets. There's bound to be good fishing out on the ocean. [He'd been thinking of the lakes, but of course there's the ocean out there.]

[markofthebrave]

[Simply:] I can help with that.

[Her voice is a little tight. Making and mending nets had been one the women's major responsibilities back home. And while she has her bending...]

[markofthewise]

Thanks. I've never been that good with those.

[He knew how. But there were so few times he ever had to make any. Maybe it was time to put some effort into that.]

[markofthebrave]

Yeah. How many are you thinking?

[She's very, very focused on this right now. One thing at a time.]

[markofthewise]

One. A real big one, for the Ocean Spirit.

[It's about time the boat was used for something more than the occasional three hour tour.]

[markofthebrave]

All right, I'll see what we've got.

[She's not sure about their supplies are like for net-making.]

We're going to need to put some people in charge of rationing, even the fresh meat and fish. We've got plenty of resources, but if people don't know how to use them, then they'll just be wasted.

[Half-eaten animals everywhere, people just getting for themselves and moving on...]

We need to do this in a way where we can keep balance.

[Depletion of resources through carelessness = baaaaaaaaaaaaad.]

[markofthewise]

So. We need a butcher to keep the store stocked. [A pause as he thinks about some of their own people.] Probably a lot of butchers.

[markofthebrave]

How many people here besides us do you think know how to do this? I trained Fenimore, but... that's about it.

And how are we going to keep track to make sure that people only take enough for themselves?

[markofthewise]

Well. Ed mentioned his teacher worked in a butcher shop. Maybe he does? [But yeah. He can't think of anyone else.]

But I'm not really sure. Back home, people just kind of... knew already.

[markofthebrave]

Okay, I'll ask. What else?

[markofthewise]

... if we don't have enough empty spaces to live in, people might try starting fires outside to cook their food. That would be bad. Very bad.

[markofthebrave]

[That would be very bad.]

...especially if they decided to do it near the forest.

[Katara can only imagine Moro's response.]

And with powers cut down so much, we just don't have the resources to deal with that kind of fire. And it's been so dry...

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Kinda wishing I got more sleep last night, now.

[Fishing? Preparing meat? Hunting? He's not even sure where he should be devoting his time to. All he knows is that he's going to be busy. The peril of being unable to be everywhere at one time.]

[screw_fate]

I'm not precisely a professional at it, but I've had enough survival training that I can manage. Most of my people should be able to do the same.

[markofthewise]

Good. The more help, the better. At least this way we can, you know, take turns.

[screw_fate]

Indeed. I'd hate to be spending all my time on butchery.

[markofthewise]

I have a feeling I'll be spending most of mine fishing.

[screw_fate]

Fishing is far from a bad means of foraging, particularly if you're good at it. I am naturally willing to assist with that task, as well as land-hunting and butchering.

[markofthewise]

It depends on who we can get on the crew. Have you ever been out to sea to fish before?

[deathsdoctor]

I have a couple. You're welcome to them.

[He fishes for recreation. They are not big nets, but they catch fish and are right now in good repair.

Might as well put them to use when he'll be too busy to be out on the water.]

[markofthebrave]

Thanks, Trafalgar. That will be easier.

[deathsdoctor]

No problem.
