[LUNDEGAARD]

So. Bad news. What are we doing?

I don't have 10,000 bullets.

[hosinsul]

I think we should prioritize keeping those of us here safe.

Emmett
Even if you had 10,000 bullets, I don't think sending you to deal with that many zombies would or should be an option, Em.

[agriculturalist]

Yeah, we've got a lot of kids and old people here.

[OPHELIA]
I was just saying!

[hosinsul]

All of the children of this area.

[EMMETT]
Well, say other things then.

[agriculturalist]

Yeah. Can't take risks when literally all of the kids in the area are involved.

[OPHELIA]
Fair enough. If I could do something helpful I would, but I can't, so I won't.

I can help you with the kids if we have to hunker down for a bit, maybe?

[lineman]

Ophelia, what do you think about having a farm lesson today? We need to get everything inside the walls by tomorrow. All kindling, tree hay, fruit, grass, the last of the crops, everything.

I thought we had a little more time.

[hosinsul]

I can do that.

I think, for the sake of making sure the crops don't get damaged, it'd be best if we handle the relocating instead of having the kids pick anything.

[lineman]

Thank you, Ophelia.

Can the older children help with the grass at least? It's going to be slow otherwise.

[lineman]

Is the herd inside the walls?

Someone needs to make sure everything in the outbuildings is shut off and the outbuildings themselves are locked. The mill also needs to be locked up, and Gideon gets the key. We should probably cut the power to it, just in case.

[agriculturalist]

I don't know. I'm just going off what Prescott says.

[lineman]

Our herd.

[agriculturalist]

Oh.

I'm going to get them all inside.

[odinochka]

I believe we should consider a long-term solution.

If we allow the horde to attempt to pass through, it could pile against our walls, breach us, and take everything we have created here. And even if the horde passes through the Quad without event, it will surely disrupt whatever Red Talon is trying to accomplish in Seattle.

I think we should divert the horde. Prescott would know best where the least populated areas are.

[lineman]

Why do we care about what Red Talon is doing in Seattle?

[odinochka]

I suspect they are attempting to eliminate a substantial threat if they have deployed the entirety of their forces.

[lineman]

Then perhaps they should also eliminate this problem they have created for us.

[agriculturalist]

They didn't care enough to warn us about this.

[quaid]

Protecting our own is always going to be my first responsibility, but what if we have to do more than shelter to accomplish that?

[agriculturalist]

What are you thinking?

[quaid]

Not sure. It just don't feel right to close up shop, as it were, and hope for the best.

[agriculturalist]

I just don't know if we have the resources to take on 10,000 of them.

[homesteading]

Does anyone need help with anything?

Hours later

[agriculturalist]

[...] Do you have any thoughts on what we should do?

Hours later

[homesteading]

Not serious ones.

Hours later

[lineman]

How quickly could we finish Maggie’s house if we work through the night?

Hours later

[homesteading]

I don't know if this should be our top priority right now.
