011 [Voice] | Shelters?

[machines_talk]

Some folk are lookin' at fixin' up a couple places as shelters, so's we got somewhere safe ahead of time for injured and non-combatants next time there's an attack. Right now we're thinkin' on the gymnasium up at the school for one, so if you got an objection to that, can think of another place, or got a suggestion for a second one, it'd be good

Thanks for getting this started, Kaylee. Let me know when I can help.

[machines_talk]

Got any thoughts on defenses? I'm thinkin' structural reinforcement and makin' sure the place can be locked down tight are priority one, but anythin' on top of that's good to consider up front.

[flipping_bird]

Entropi are being of energy. It's hard to plan around that, really ... and in the previous attack, the entropi went through walls like it was nothing. Still, making sure that we've got fire extinguishers on hand, see if we can't come up with some form of insulation ... that's a start, at least.

[machines_talk]

Hmm. I wonder if the sort of shieldin' we had on Serenity to keep from gettin' fried when the grav drive kicked in might help 'gainst them, too...

'Course, I don't know if it'd even be possible to rig up here with what's available. Or ain't.

If you'd like help, I'm in!

I know you mortals have to eat, so if something really bad happens, would squirreling away some provisions for you all be useful? Just in case we have to be down there for very long. I can grow and dry fruit in bulk or something.

[machines_talk]

That's a great idea! Ain't no way of tellin' ahead of time how long we'd be in there, so storin' some food in case it's a good while would be very useful.

[poppingseeds]

Is there anything that holds up particularly well as far as other foods go? I can just requisition it all at once when it's finished, as well as seeds.

I'll be sure to keep you all well fed if there's any sort of attack~

[machines_talk]

Rice an' grains are good, far as plants go. 'Course, the preparin' might be a problem if we don't got much by way of water or heat. Nuts are good too, for protein.

For other things, dried an' salted meat holds up decent for a fair while, an' anything in a can'll last half of forever, if we do some requisitionin'.

Come to think of it, we should probably figure somethin' to ensure water supply, in case we're there long.

Well I'm not too bad with earth techniques, if you've got some terrain that needs rearranging. Also, I could put some protective seals around... Hmm, I'll take a look at the place and decide just what it needs. I've been thinking of building a place of my own out in the park and I wouldn't mind setting some of that aside for another shelter.

[machines_talk]

Great! I don't know if there's much in the way of ground that needs rearrangin' right yet, though if we do end up doin' somethin' underground, too, that'd be mighty helpful. An' we're definitely more than glad of any help can be given with settin' up defenses.
