Camp Fortitude

CAITLIN.
He's gone. There's no sign of him. His room is empty. His things are gone. I think He went back home.

PUBLIC.
Cisco Ramon is gone.

For those of you who still needed suits, come to me. I'll finish what he started. If anyone here knows how to work with clothing, now would be a good time to step up.

Pepper is pregnant.

I'm activating the reactors in an hour, Allen and I have been doing runs. Power will be out for maybe five seconds, the more we practice the faster at it he gets.

I'm thinking about building a mapping device so we can have a basic idea of the surrounding terrain.

Who: Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff

and I had the week that came from hell, and yes I know that you could tell, but you're like the net under the ledge ( Read more... )

[Defense]

You need to let me fight. Your rules are stupid. I have the skills you need and it's stupid not to let me do anything.

[Isaac]

You okay?

[/UNFILTERED]

This place sucks. We need to do stuff to keep people from dying. Despite what the blonde girl said, people don't have to die here.

With the lack of visibility and now everyone seeing things that aren't really there I'm asking again for anyone who doesn't need to be outside to not be. I'll be coming by the townhouses with some radios - we don't have enough for everyone to have their own so if you haven't already make sure you're in groups of at least two to three. We can't check this as much while we're out so if you get into trouble, or need to be moved use the radio.

If anyone is having trouble breathing let us know and we'll get you over to medical.
If anyone needs supplies let us know and we'll get what you need to you.

If you have to go outside, use the radios and let us know where so we have a better idea of who is out there.

(( 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?

So hey. We've got people telling us the fog is wrong, animals fleeing the scene and fog that's turning into ash. Not that I've ever experienced ash-fog before, but it's safe to say something is coming. I saw one of trainees on the wall last night probably trying to add to the guard duty. Even I'm starting to feel uneasy.

EDIT: [ NATASHA ]
Want to spend some quality time with me in the weapons locker? Need to check inventory and Steve wants everyone in pairs.

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 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?

[ DEREK HALE ]
You're the other one like me, right? This isn't a confrontation or anything like that. It's a small camp, it didn't take long to find your scent and figure out who the other was. You've probably got me figured out too.

I don't know how everything works in your world, but for me I need to get out of the camp and run, and so I'm going to approach the leader of Defense to organize ways times to get out of camp when I need it. I won't be mentioning anyone else, but I thought you should know that Steve, and maybe whoever else he might tell, will be aware of one of our kind. I'd rather tell him than put everyone else at risk.

You don't have to respond, if you're not comfortable talking to me. I wanted to give you a heads up. I'll deal with whatever the impact is, if any.

[ STEVE ROGERS ]
You're basically the one in charge here, right?

New Guy on Charlie.

Don't ever try to get me to work with him. I can't guarantee I won't lose it and kill him. That's probably bad for team moral, right?

Well...in light of recent news...

I'm making an assumption about the system for Defense, because I don't know any better right now, but I'm assuming that the squads are organized by group in order from first response down; Alpha being the first responders, Bravo to follow, Charlie next, then Delta, in any ideal hierarchy-friendly situation we would deal with. If I'm wrong, correct me please. If I'm not, then I'm guessing I'm going to have some downtime on my hands.

Given we've just been told there's no guarantee that we won't have any other future breaches in security like that, I'm thinking it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to make sure that everyone here has some sort of training under their belt, if they're in a sticky situation and have to fend for themselves for a minute.

I've trained others to fight poorly, but what you don't know won't hurt you, and I like to think I'm better at it now, having learned from my mistakes. I need to fill in my spare time or I'll go crazy, so anyone who wants to learn to fight, whether for offensive or defensive use, I'd like to teach you. I'm not offering to train you for Defense, because that isn't my place, and maybe someone already has something like this out there, so I'm sorry if someone does and I'm stepping on toes, but it's what I can contribute in my downtime, so I'm putting it out there. But I think the more of us who know how to protect ourselves, the better. Would anyone be interested in that at all?

Probably wishful thinking, but nobody would have any Ibuprofen lying around, would they? Or a Xanax? Or ten? I'm sore in places I didn't even know I could bend.

I know that it's been said already, but Defense did a great job while we were gone. I'm glad everybody is safe, and thanks to the medical staff for keeping an eye out and being on stand by. We're damn lucky to have doctors around this place. And I swear I'm not just saying that for the pain killers.

CISCO.
I might need to ask for a favor sooner than I thought...

(( posted late Friday afternoon ))

We could use some hands to help sort out what was brought back, come by the Community Center if you can help out. We'll get things into the freezers there and get smaller batches to the townhouses. Didn't get everything everyone was looking for but there's some chocolate and bacon - and we got what we needed, hopefully it'll keep us all fed for a while as long as this influx doesn't keep up - with what's been coming in from the greenhouse.

STILES.

I found some of the stationary supplies you were wanting, I can get one of the girls to bring it by for you.

TONY.

If you could find what you needed how long would it take for you to get a reactor up and running?

DEFENSE.

No one died or got hurt so I'd call it a win. You guys did good, thank you.

WHO: Steve Rogers and Kate Danvers
WHERE: Some random Costco
WHEN: Friday AM
WHAT: Finding Kate
WARNINGS: Not much
STATUS: In progress

( a healthy level of paranoia was what had kept him alive in this place for three years running )

I'm not one to ask for favors but does anybody here have extra clothing that might actually fit me and doesn't look like it's been chewed on by a really pissed off tiger? I might find something tomorrow if I'm lucky but I just got here and I'm running out mostly to find meat and Kit Kats, apparently, so any help would be appreciated. I have three outfits that I'm working with and one of them is a catsuit, not exactly lounge wear material.

STEVE.
If we're going to be sharing the same living space you're going to have to learn that putting my things away for me is going to earn you a black eye. If you move my pants off of the floor in the hall to toss them in my hamper then I have no way of knowing where you put them. Don't do that.

And who in their right mind washes dishes at two in the morning? Are you trying to make me snap your neck?

Alright so we're doing a supply run this week, we're leaving Thursday. So far for the wish list I've got the following:

• Highlighters.
• Peanut butter cups
• Twizzlers
• Kit Kats
• Snickers
• Bacon
• Velveeta (really, Tony?)
• Bourbon
• Coffee

Anything else? Keep in mind I have no idea what's out there but you might get lucky. Does anyone need anything - toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo, clothes, etc.

FILTERED TO DEFENSE TEAM:

I think we need two days. Last time I ran by the closest stores there wasn't a damn thing to be found. We need to find gas this go or else we might not get back out again, at least in the jeeps, and we'll be screwed for the backup generators. If we need more than two days to find it we'll have to take it. We'll go small, that's a lot of hours to leave the Camp - Natasha and Sara you're with me, everyone else work out a schedule for patrol here.

FILTERED TO BARRY:

Stark can help out with patrol if you're short or something comes up.

FILTERED TO JOEY:

Give me a list before I head out of what you need. Also we should get in another training session before I go.
