It's with pleasure that I'm here to announce that we will be taking our first steps in the few weeks to establishing settlements outside the compound of Mount Weather. This mountain has been our home for over a year, but we went from one indoor settlement, never able to go outside to another, and it's time we break that cycle. The Mountain men who lived here before us spent one hundred years unable to be out in the sun, and it slowly drove them mad. I don't want that for our people, and it's time that we became a part of the world at large.
The committees for the North and West settlements are in place, and over the course of the next few weeks, we will be gathering materials, planning buildings, arranging the settlements around a core of services — from trading to military to medical to other skills. Each settlement will be able to run on its own, in case any one of them become cut off from the rest due to unrest or Mother Nature. I'm excited and anxious to see how these establishments come to fruition.
Infrastructure will be split between stockpiling supplies and gathering materials to head out in a few weeks time for building. You may volunteer for either settlement, though we do reserve the right to balance them out if necessary. Infrastructure and Technology Engineers will work together to establish plans for powering each settlement with the cleanest energy systems we can pull together. Radio Operators and Surveillance will be on round the clock watch to ensure that nothing surprises our people in the field. The military will be given their assignments.
Volunteers will be necessary to complete these tasks as quickly as we can. However, there are some jobs that cannot be temporarily suspended: Civilian Services and Agriculture & Animals, in particular. However, you can volunteer in your spare time. We can also rearrange schedules so that you can work half there and half here, but that would be limited to a small portion of your division. We still have to eat and have things to eat at the end of the day, and now more than ever we'll need that sustenance to ensure we make it. I would appreciate if there were teleporters who would volunteer to deliver food on-site at breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours. All other groups may file to volunteer in place of their current duties.
