Camp Fortitude

To make sure supply runs are as effective as they can be when we send a team out I'd like to set up a meeting to keep the best list going we can for what is needed. As well to address any other concerns that might come up along the way. Ideally weekly but at the bare minimum the Monday before what will be bi-weekly supply runs. If medical, farming and service want to discuss this and decide on someone to be your person to do this. First one will be this Monday.

Clarke mentioned she can build a smokehouse which would be a good idea. We can't rely on being able to guarantee finding everything we need on runs - if there's one constant about this place it's that it's inconsistent. With our numbers growing the way they are we need to be better prepared to be more self sufficient. If you think you can help with that let her know. As well, if you have any other ideas on making us more self sufficient let's get it going.

KATE.

You said you could hunt - I'm assuming that's something that runs in the family?

DEFESE.

TONY.

How are you and Pepper holding up? Any news?

A few years ago when I was back home and things had gotten especially crazy, my friend had brought all of us together and we set off paper lanterns to honor those who we had recently lost. I know it might sound a little cheesy, but it was nice and it felt like a good way to pay our respects.

So I made two this morning and I'm going to be down at the lake just after sunset if anyone wanted to join in.

For anyone who has spent time outside of the wall, I'm requesting to book some of your time. I'm going to start compiling a database of all of the creatures people have seen out there, in as much detail as possible. If you have any experience I'd appreciate it if you could come see me (or I can come to you) so I can collect as much information as possible.

Additionally, since I lack the proper equipment to run simulations, if anyone manages to find any rats, I could really use them for testing. My apologies to animal lovers, but I'm a little short on options.

Is everyone else's water a delightful shade of brown and gross - or is that just us in medical?

Has anyone been keeping a list of all the people in camp? I think we need a roll call to figure out if anyone else is unaccounted for.

Can everyone check in here? And if there's someone you haven't seen or heard from in a while, say so?

CHARLIE DEFENSE.

Suit up if you have suits, and hope for the best if you don't. We'll meet in the community center and go from there to set up this rope to medical and then patrol that area since we'll already be there. Giving me a heads up you wanted to volunteer the group wouldn't have sucked, Peter, just fucking saying. I wouldn't have said no. Sound like a plan?

Also, if you're new to Charlie, I'm Derek.

CORA.

Stay inside if you can. I have to go out on patrol. No matter what you hear, just please stay inside. Okay? Please.

(( posted shortly after the add on to Caroline's post below ))

Until this clears up I'm asking for no one to leave Camp, if it's thick out there too you might not find your way back. I'm also asking for people to stick in pairs and make sure you let people know where you're going.

I need a few volunteers to help some members of defense run a rope from the housing complex to the medical bay. We'll put some lights along it. This way if someone needs to get there they'll have a guide.

Everything in the greenhouse has been covered and as far as I know there's nothing that needs to be done today so it might be a good day to just stay inside.

I know a lot of you are freaking out, but we will get through this - we just need to stay calm and keep everyone aware of what is going on. If you see anything, or need help, just let someone know.

DEFENSE (INCL RESERVES) + TECH
Any chance we can cobble together some thermal monitors? Might give us a better chance at seeing what, if anything, is out there?

I need one team to set up the rope - I'm hoping between what's in the ammunition bunkers and the greenhouse we'll have enough to get a line going.

Tony, Rogue, Sam - do you think any of you could get high enough to get above this and see how widespread this is?

As far as everything else - well, we've got some decisions to make right now:

Stark wanted to switch over our power supply today. The system would be a hell of lot more stable, but the downside is we'd be without anything for 30 seconds. Which doesn't seem like a long time but if we can't see more than ten feet in front of us that's a long time. I'm personally inclined to the good of it outweighing the bad, especially if this fog is bringing in something worse than just reduced visibility. Last thing we need is to have no power on top of that. We either do this in the next hour or we don't do it at all, unless the fog stops coming in the way it is right now.

I'd like to reduce our patrol area, bring it in closer to the locations where people will be. I'm thinking a wide circle around the housing and medical, and then the greenhouse to make sure if something gets into Camp it doesn't destroy our food. If the fog itself is bringing things in then watching our fence might be a waste of time and resources. Thoughts?

JOEY.
Are you freaking out? Because I'm freaking out.

ETA (PUBLIC)
Uhm hi. So this is by no means what is going to happen but I've seen this before. Well, Joey and I have seen this before. And I'm not saying this will happen the same way - but when we got stuck in a ash fog grossness thing like this before it got pretty bad. Like giant spiders and super creepy things bad. I still have nightmares about that freaking faceless zombie looking thing - We'd see stuff out of the corner of eyes all the time, and most of it didn't try anything but still creepy. Again I am not saying that this will be what happens but just, you know, heads up?

So can we go back to the sunny weather? Ugh. So gross.

We have a lot of plants to cover to keep from being damaged by the cold and I think we should be okay hands wise - but if anyone isn't doing anything come on down, I would never say no to more help. It's international woman's day so there will be plenty of girly tunes going, sing alongs are both permitted and encouraged.

I feel like anything I say here is going to pale in comparison to Bo's introduction.

Hey, I'm Sam Wilson. Just got here. Spent a couple days outside before I stumbled upon this place. Caroline tells me that there are some friendly faces here though.

Uh, hi everyone. Thanks for getting me away from--whatever the Hell those things are outside. I don't think I am ever getting that taste out smell off.

Anyway, name's Bo. I'm kinda used to crap like this happening, although usually someone I know is behind it. If my dad's here- Be real nice if my genius ex girl friend was here to dumb all that science down a bit so I might understand how this is actually not more Fae shit.

Kenzi if you're-

I guess I'm going to be on your--militia or army or whatever. And...I'm a succubus.

If you're from a place where you've got stories about things like that, you know that means I need a pretty specific supplement to my diet that I can only get from other living things, preferably in a real intimate way. But I really don't like sneaking into people's houses and having my way with the womenfolk, so if there's a few good men or women or whatever who'd like to volunteer, hit me up. The sooner the better, those things out there really don't give a growing girl what she needs.

I've heard whispers of poker games and I would be insulted that I haven't been personally invited, but I know it's because you all know that I would beat you. It's fine. I completely understand.

We should definitely do poker again sometime.

Hey Peter? I believe I was promised jet boots.

JOEY.
Hey.

Alright kids, lets try this one again. Don't break anything while I'm gone.

[ CISCO & BARRY ]

Which one of you two would be better at fixing up vehicles and getting them going again?

Okay, so five of us are down for playing poker. Not a bad number but we could use a couple more players to make seven.

Tonight's doable if that works for all of us or tomorrow. Let me know and I'll set up a table at the community center.

[Edit]
So far it's shaping up like it'll be tonight.

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.

So other than walk back and forth along the perimeter and drink my face off, what is there to do around here?

So I guess I should probably introduce myself to the camp so no one has to wonder who the new guy is. Sup, I'm Peter, I'm the one with the really cool helmet. I'll also probably be the guy you hear singing random stuff which may or may not include Disney, don't judge, they're classics too.

I've been placed on the Charlie defense team and it looks like I'm rooming with a Chris Argent.
