1. We've tested some new farming techniques that should drastically reduce the growing cycles of a lot of our foods. The original research was for the desert and reduced the water requirements, too, but given that water is everywhere around here, we were able to make some adjustments. As far as we can tell, the rapid growth shouldn't affect the nutritional value of the food, so this should go a long way to helping us stockpile before winter comes. I'll come by farming later today with the group of Sky People who worked on the project with me to show you what we did.
2. I had some energy cells from home and snagged some thermal clips from Kaidan before I left, and I managed to rig up a new battery out of materials that are actually native to here. I call them Weather Batteries! (Because "Pod Batteries" sound like they come out of the pods, and it sounds a bit silly.) Anyway, they can be used as ammo for energy weapons, if anyone wants to give me their regular weapons to be converted (I can do that, you know), or we can use them as regular batteries around Mt. Weather. They're self-sustaining, they just need to be turned off when they burn out so they can recharge themselves. I don't know if we're ready to make them the main source of power for our major needs -- like medical equipment, power and lights in common areas -- but I'll be working with Infrastructure to rig up a good backup generator out of this stuff.
They do take some time to make, but once the generator is taken care of (couple weeks, maybe?), I can start making them on a smaller scale and we can use them for power in rooms or recreational areas. They burn bright, too. It's always difficult to get really bright light when you live in an underground bunker and the eye strain just causes serious headaches. Believe me, I know.
I'm back! What did I miss?
You're my day job! I'm afraid I might be the least productive on your team if I'm running around all the time, but I'll be useful, I promise.
Hi there! We haven't met, but I'm MJ and Mona's room mate, and I was wondering if I could crash rehearsal. Just once or twice and just to watch, I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to interrupt anything, but I haven't seen them in a month and MJ sounds really excited about your show.
