Camp Fortitude

It's actually strange how satisfying it is to see the plants you've been slaving over finally sprout from the ground. Aaaaaand, that is something I never, ever thought I'd say.

And don't worry, I'm helping Malia with her party on Saturday. I wouldn't let her do something like that alone.

How many of you have experience building a society from the leftovers of civilization? Maybe rather than passing judgment on the people who are making the effort to actually keep us safe, you should find ways to make yourselves useful and be productive members of the camp.

Death is unavoidable in circumstance like this. Yes, it sucks that we lost people, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse. And given the way this settlement is growing, it's entirely likely that it will be worse in the future. If you can't deal with that, then maybe you should try surviving on your own outside the walls.

All that being said, I have experience building and maintaining a smokehouse, if that is something people are interested in getting together.

My name's Lydia Martin, and I'm the one who found the bodies.

And I'm going to go ahead and agree with Derek here oh look, Hell froze over. Two people are dead. Horribly so. None of us killed them but that doesn't free us from all the responsibility.

I should have been able -

I think a lot of us have been trying to just live our own lives independent of everyone else, and I don't think we can do that. We need to come together and watch out for each other. Maybe if we had, Adamus and Sam would still be alive.

I'm fine, everyone.

I just got kind of freaked, that's all.

Those two people out there though...

They are very much not fine.

If anyone is stuck outside, tell me. Defense is busy taking care of the patrols and watching the walls, and although visuals are awful I might be able to see and smell better than I've been studying this place ever since I got here since I've been maintaining all of the buildings. Give me a rough location and I'll find you, I've emptied out one of the garages we're using for storage, if it's faster for me to get you there than get you home that's what we're going to do. Since I'm apparently too young to do anything fucking useful

Okay...those of you who've been here a while, is this normal? It doesn't feel normal

Or have you ever seen anything like this before?

Guys, I don't know what any of this is, but it doesn't feel right. At all.

I feel like someone's going to die - I feel -

I don't know. Be careful, okay? Everybody?

Little PSA for you all; our new power source is officially completed. When we switch over the grid, there might be a black out for approximately 10-30 seconds. It's not a long period of time but I'm going to want to schedule that with everyone to make sure that everybody is aware of when to expect it so we can stay on our toes. It'll be during the day so we have sunlight on our side, preferably early. With the new system in place we're going to have a lot more power. Which means more energy sources for defensive maneuvers.

[STEVE.]
Two things. Thing one - I want to schedule when we switch the grid over so we can have proper defense in place. 10-30 seconds is longer than I'm comfortable with. I'm having Allen switch the connections to make sure that it's done as quickly as possible.

Thing two - we might want to consider asking someone to start teaching some sort of sex ed course around here since apparently the teenagers are humping like rabbits. I'd nominate you but you have to have actually had it to educate others on it.

[TECH.]
I want to run the trial model again. I want us all to watch it separately and then one more time together just so we can make sure that none of us are missing anything. We checked the fences last time and the brownout still happened, but I want to make sure we cover our asses here as much as we can.

First time in as long as I can remember I didn't wake up screaming.

I want to find out if I'm immune.

Is blood still being tested?

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.

Is this...is this like a Glade, without the maze?

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?
