Going forward we're going to need additional hands on zed-clearing patrols down here. There are a couple hundred clustered around our north pylon but they'll start clearing out if we give them a few days. Since we can't turn the noise fence on until the area is clear we'd also appreciate extra hands on sniper duty around the Depot.

I'm also sending the scav corps into Danforth on a preliminary scouting mission, just to see what it's like on the ground down there. If it's really cleared out we should get on scavenging it ASAP. Other people will move in as soon as they realize it's clear.

NAT & EDGAR

I'd like us all to get on the same page before the next Peace Summit meeting.

LOLA

Ready to get back to work?

How's the farm?

EDGAR, BLYTHE & EVENING

I pulled some music options for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from my vinyl collection. They're in the rec room. You can borrow them and the suitcase record player if you want to take them back to the RV. I also have some ideas about staging.

[ Left in the rec room: said suitcase record player (pastel blue) and a stack of eclectic vinyls, some classical and instrumental and some popular music, featuring extensive annotations about the score of each scene in the movie, apparently rendered from Mara's own memory. Notably, she has suggested Wonderwall in lieu of Everyone's Gotta Learn Sometime, Stuck in the Middle With You for the scene where Mary and Stan are dancing on Joel's bed, and Rilo Kiley's The Execution of All Things as post-show music. ]

A reminder too that we should use the pits where we can, a large number of Zeds can be dispatched quietly that way. The napalm will make sure of it.

[WHITNEY LEADERSHIP]
It sounds like you have something specific in mind?

[afairtrade]

They'll fill up eventually. Greg said they lost nearly a thousand at Grace Lutheran. But we can start by clearing out what's already there. [...] Maybe wait until the wind changes so we don't have to smell it.

[Whitney Leadership]
I want to push to get the electricity on before it starts snowing. Last winter was hard and we have even less gasoline than we used to.

[malting]

You can still smell things? Sounds good, I can take some of the crew and help with that.

[Whitney Leadership]
Sorry about that, but agree. What was the last status update from John?

[halligan]

y'all need a guide? i know those streets better than i know the high notes on can't fight the moonlight

[afairtrade]

Didn't you get bitten by a zombie like five days ago?

[halligan]

6. i bounce back fast, all the shit i went through as a kid should've killed me. pretty sure i'm invincible

[fixeddown]

We can certainly send people. For patrols. I’ll plan on splitting my time between sniping at Lowl and Whitney. Should be able to clear a lot.

[left5dead]

get me the FUCK out there

[afairtrade]

Didn't you break your leg or something?

[afairtrade]

Thanks, Carter. If you come by with a map I can mark off some spots where we've seen them congregating.

Ohhh this is exciting!! I wanna see your staging ideas. That's the most fun part about adapting screen to stage!!

Troupe + Mara

[orator]

Thanks, Mara.

Can one of you check out the rec room? I'm still in the hospital.

You can help yourself to the trade goods for costumes and set dressing. Whatever you can put back in afterwards you're fine to borrow.

I also have some old CRT televisions that nobody ever wants. I was thinking we could film some content ahead of time and play it back live on stage for effects that we can't do practically, although I have ideas for that too. [...] My husband was a VFX supervisor, so I know some old tricks.

[swordwife]

Wow I kinda missed missions that didn’t involve explosives and stuff!

[Mara/Lola]
Ready and willing! […] But while Billie is recovering we’re down an experienced scav. Maybe we should make some promotions from the runners? Or look elsewhere?

[afairtrade]

Yeah I've seen enough fireworks for a lifetime.

[Mara/Lola]
You can tap whoever you want. Scavenging's going to be our top priority for awhile if we really can get into Danforth. Besides, if Prescott's training Responders out of the other communities I don't even see why you shouldn't be head-hunting.

[agriculturalist]

I'll come snipe.

[afairtrade]

Appreciate it. What do you want your wages in?

[castnet]

offering an extra hand in Danforth if needed, plus count me in clearing what's left

[afairtrade]

You're also injured if I recall correctly.

Mara/Beck

[blissout]

It's okay. I thought things would be worse, but we're really just playing a lot of catch up.

I'll help with patrols if you really need it.

Mara/Beck

[afairtrade]

It did go slightly better than I was expecting it to.

Only if you want. I might drag you to Danforth with me at some point.

[lineman]

I cannot provide any immediate help. If I stand up too fast I have to sit down again.

However, I think within a week or so I can get back to the wind farm.

[afairtrade]

It's going to take us a minute to clear it out anyway.

[veryrealnurse]

Any additional organization of stores you want me to do, on the chance we get lucky and there's quite a bit to bring back?

[Mara]

How are you feeling about Danforth? And how are you healing up?

[afairtrade]

I already made everyone reorganize everything once. I think the clerks will kill me if I do it again.

[Arwen]
Optimistic. Even if there are zombies left it can't be many. I have a few cracked ribs but I'm okay.
