Camp Fortitude

Just picked a bunch of tomatoes today - so if anyone wants tomatoes, come and grab them!

JOEY.
I think I might be debating something stupid.

Alright so there's been a lot of new people again in the past bit and it looks like it might not be letting up any time soon so I thought I'd go over a few things here. I'm Steve for anyone I haven't talked to yet, and I was one of the first people to arrive here. We've been operational since May of last year and though we don't know why, our numbers have all but doubled in the past two months. That's a lot of new people in a short amount of time and I know a lot of us are coming from some very different worlds and lives from each other. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or suggestions about anything, bring it up. I know it sounds cheesy, but we're all in this together.

Dr. Snow mentioned it, but it bears repeating, if you missed out on her initial round of testing - or have even changed your mind since then - be sure to talk to her. A cure or vaccine might be too late for the original inhabitants of this world but could keep us and anyone else coming through safe.

If you're interested in learning some foundations of defense skills Derek runs a class every other day at the Community Center - make sure to talk to him if you want to join. If anyone is interested in learning some more advanced techniques comment here and we can get you set up.

We will be doing a supply run soon so if there is anything anyone needs, please let me know. As always I'll take the wishlist but make no guarantees.

NATASHA.

Hey, can I ask you something?

KATE.

Is there a specific day you needed to go out of Camp, or is it flexible? Ideally I'd like to make sure it didn't line up with days some of us are already out on supply runs - which I'm trying to get going toward the end of the week here.

TOSH.

Let me know what's needed to make the CCTV a reality, I'll find as much of it as we can when we're out.

DEFENSE.

We need to stock up. Badly. If the growth keeps up at this rate we're going to burn through resources. If you haven't talked to Cisco about getting a suit, do it. Unless Dr. Snow has cleared you as immune no one goes on a run without adequate protection. I'd like to head out toward the end of the week. We've got myself, Sara, Natasha, Barry, and Rogue with suits, did I miss anyone? I'd like to go out with enough that we could split up and cover more ground once we hit the cities, if we could do three and three that would be ideal.

Brief update. Anyone who submitted their blood for analysis should have heard back from me by now about immunity. Based on the results I have a some hopeful options on developing a vaccination. If you have any further questions about your results or what I am doing, feel free to come talk to me.

To anyone who is new and may have missed my posts, I've been testing to see if anyone is immune to the virus that turns people into infected. If you want to find out if you are immune, come see me. My name is Caitlin Snow, you can find me in medical.

Hola, mi nombre es Marina y yo acabamos de llegar anoche. Quería dar las gracias a todos por ser tan amable conmigo cuando llegué. Sé que esto no puede ser fácil para nadie. Estoy seguro de que nadie quiere estar aquí, pero es bueno que todo el mundo está dispuesto a trabajar juntos para hacer de este lugar habitable.

Voy a estar trabajando en el médico, y yo estoy viviendo con Jessica Jones y Clara Oswald. Si puedo hacer nada más para ayudar, por favor hágamelo saber.

Ah, y también hablo Inglés. Que se habla más aquí?

Um...is English easier here?

Hello, My name is Marina and I just got here last night. I wanted to thank everyone for being so kind to me when I arrived. I know this can't be easy for anyone. I'm sure nobody wants to be here, but it's good that everyone's willing to work together to make this place liveable.

I'm going to be working in Medical, and I'm living with Jessica Jones and Clara Oswald. If I can do anything else to help out, please let me know.

Not happening - not happening - not happening - OMG THIS IS SERIOUSLY NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW -
Has anyone seen a ring around? Silver, with a blue stone? It's the only way I pass for human - a family heirloom and I really can't lose it.

CAPTAIN JOLINE

Freaking out, so freaking out. I never even take it off but I woke up without it this morning. Can you guys check out the Camp?

When I decided to see the universe, this was definitely not what I'd had in mind.

Clara Oswald. I'm I was a teacher in London. Hello, I suppose, fellow time-and-space abductees.

[ Service ]

I'll be joining you in the Service Department, doing.... well, I'll figure that out as I go along. And thank you, Pepper -- Ms. Potts? Pepper? Which do you prefer? -- for your explanation earlier.

I guess it's cool to find something resembling civilization after a few months of fighting monsters on my own.

Name's Jessica Jones. I have good whiskey if anyone wants to have a drink.

Like Barry said, I'm going to be working on creating a vaccination for the virus. As we just began to study the virus today, I can't say for sure how long this will take, but it will be one of my top priorities, next to the overall health of the camp residents.

That being said, one of the best chances I have to actually create a vaccination would be to find someone who is immune. So if you are willing to provide a blood sample, please let me know and I'd like to get a sample from you as soon as possible. Given that some people are much more than human in here, it's possible the key to a vaccination could be with one of you. Or maybe even someone without abilities. This isn't mandatory, of course. Volunteers only.

This is a public announcement for everybody who resides in the camp, please read this carefully and check in so I know that you're aware of what's going on.

I've run a blood test of the unfriendlies, the same type that got into the camp during the brownout. They are infected. The infection is contagious. I want to make a few points clear before we all panic.

- There were no pathogens found, which means that this infection isn't airborne. Which is great news.

- After doing some more tests, I've figured out that, although the virus exists in the bloodstream, it doesn't have the capability of surviving once it leaves the body. As soon as it hits oxygen it dies, which means that getting the blood of these things on you, although gross, isn't dangerous. You can't catch the virus like that.

- The virus can be transferred through saliva. More specifically, if the saliva of these things is injected or applied to an open wound immediately. The virus dies immediately in a saliva sample once it hits the air. However, a direct bite would be enough for the infection to survive and be transferred if skin is broken.

So if you haven't been bitten by these things, you're safe. If you have you need to reach out to Medical immediately, but I don't think that's the case because it seems to be a very fast moving virus. After infection it looks like it'll turn the person within 24 hours, if that.

Doctor Caitlin Snow is going to be working on a vaccine just in case someone gets bit, but now that we know what's going on we're obviously going to have to take extreme caution. Defense or anyone who's going out there is going to need to make sure all exposed limbs are covered in a thick material to avoid penetration in case a bite takes place. If anyone has any questions I'll try to answer them to my fullest capability, but I'm just a forensic scientist. Dr. Snow is going to be making an update soon about the vaccine and what she'll use, all serious medical questions and concerns should most likely go to her.

LATER EDIT; FILTER TO DEFENSE AND TECH.

The suits for Sara and Natasha are ready. For everyone in defense, whether you have a suit or not, you need to meet up with a guy named Cisco Ramon in tech. He knows how to make specialized suits and he knows how to make them work with your abilities, which is why I don't set myself on fire every time I break out into a run.

He can't make you anything if he doesn't have your measurements and now that we know this is going on, all of us are going to need protection. You can drop a comment here under this filter for him so he can see it, either a time that you can meet up with him or your measurements. We all need to make sure we're protected against this, try to make it a priority.

First, I want to thank you for the welcome, Pepper. I'm sure this place is a lot less...well, horrifying when you have some idea what's going on.

Not that I don't think it's a load of klunk, but it's hardly anyone's fault.

Let me know how I can help. I'm doing farming but if I can do anything else to help make this buggering place any better, just say the word.

Down side: This place definitely isn't Paris.

Up side: This place definitely doesn't have the weather of Paris.

And apparently I'm the handyman here? So if you need something built or fixed, I'm seemingly your guy. Also, therapist. I'm apparently the therapist. How does that make you feel?

So lots of new faces lately - let's do an ice breaker. Two truths and lie - super easy. Say your name and then three things about yourself where two are the truth and one is a lie and then everyone gets to suss out what's what. Look, I'll even start!

Hi, I'm Caroline.

1. I have two tattoos.
2. I'm from Minnesota.
3. I was Valedictorian at my high school.

JOEY.

You miss everything.

DEFENSE.

I'd like to do some training with those of us who didn't spend a whole lot of time out there before winding up in Camp - things specific to the threats that I know are out there so you'll all feel as prepared as you can be for anything breaching our walls or going out on supply runs. It looks like that's mostly Charlie and Delta teams and I think tomorrow afternoon would be a good time - Bravo's on patrol so that frees all of us up. Does this work for all of you? If it doesn't let me know and I can find an alternate time.

CAROLINE + JOEY.

Dinner tonight? It's been a while.

The usual struggle of losing socks is a lot more serious in this place. I'm down to one and I don't even know how that happened. Not one pair. One sock. I'd throw it out but at this point I'm keeping it just to be spiteful.

These clouds are getting me down, we should all get together and do something. Pepper's party was awesome, and I feel like doing community events would be good so we can keep an eye on each other for morale. We should do a trivia night. I'm all about the trivia.

[MY WORLD.]
Are we sure that this Harkness guy is safe? I mean, I get the concept of people playing different roles in different universes (believe me) but this is kind of a big deal.

[STEVE.]
Harkness. He's got a pretty nasty double where I come from, he's not as much as a problem for me as he is for people in a city around 500 miles away from me, but he's a problem nonetheless. I'm not saying that we should be suspicious or hostile, just saying we should keep our eyes open.

After that helpful welcome, thank you again, Ms. Potts, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name's Rogue and I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't used to this sort of thing. I've also been assigned to the delta defense team.

I really don't want to do this over the net but

For the sake of transparency, I should tell y'all that I'm a mutant. One of my powers involves touch and I can't turn it off. When I make skin to skin contact with people I absorb their life energy, their memories, and temporarily their powers if they got any. It's why I wear gloves at all times and would appreciate some distance for all our sakes.
