[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.

...Temporary refuge and limited supplies? And we don't even know how many of them are coming?

I have a really bad feeling about this. We better get to planning if we only have six hours.

Any Blue Rogues hearing this message, we're going to call an emergency meeting, at barracks, in fifteen minutes. We're going to be busy this morning...

Roger.

[Muttered, almost an afterthought.]

... It's the Outer Colonies all over again.

[Worst of all, she is trained to end authentic threats. Mendez had only warned them that things could be different on the field. Refugee situations and riots are too different.]

[Really, there is no need for words when a look says it all.]

[risingshepard]

[...And they don't have any room in the house. Well, then.]

So what, they're seriously just gonna dump 'em here with us? What happened to finding other places to bring them to? [And she has good reason to doubt, given circumstances. Granted, the farm seems to be going well enough, so they might be able to supply the newcomers for a while...]

[chikaidestroyer]

[...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.

I'm gonna be counting on you, Daisy. Probably don't have to tell you, but if our supplies are gonna be cut off... make sure you got all the ammo you can get.

I doubt we'll need it, but we don't know what kind of people we're dealing with yet. With any luck, this will be peaceful.

[savedtheworld]

These people... lost their home? [An enclosure, just like theirs.] We're gonna have to look out for them.

[But there's a growing pit in his stomach. Ten percent. That's not many bending at all.]

[moremoremore]

Nuh-uh. I ain't sharing.

[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.

[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...]

[markofthewise]

[Wow. This is going to be such a mess, isn't it?]

Remember the good old days when we used to wonder if there was anyone else like us out there?

I'll start hunting. I know how to prepare any of the meat I catch. We can fish too, but it's going to be slim pickings thanks to this drought.

[Video]

[daisy023]

Yes, sir. I understand.

[Which means, securing every piece of ammunition gained. Most importantly make sure none of the refugees have access to any of it.

She remembers the ViDocs of the food riots of the Outer Colonies. The refugee situations of Covenant glassings.]

Captain. I offer to be one of the hunters. I'm one of the best shots in the enclosure, and we'll need the food. I won't be far, and I'll still be in touch.

[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.

[vulcanblazer]

Sounds good. Once we get done with the meeting, you may want to get a head start on that while we still have time. As long as we have refrigeration or at least salt, we should be able to make it last.

[Voice]

[rocketpunch]

Wait, almost half...? They'll come back, right? [The thought of half of Luceti being killed is kind of a sick thought.] That's the same for all of the enclosures, isn't it?

[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.

[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?

[voidseeing]

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

[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.]

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Sometimes refugees just need a place to be in, Commander. They won't like the situation much, either.

[Not that she likes the Malnosso, but she understands refugee situations from the war in her world.]

[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.

[screw_fate]

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.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

That's how it's supposed to work. For the ones not sacrificed, anyway.

[chikaidestroyer]

Will you issue recommendations on conservation to hunters and others with ammunition, then? For a worst case scenario in which we are indefinitely on emergency rations. [Not to mention the worst cast scenario of riots...]
