Q Archive — June 16, 2145— Morning: The First New Day.

What we know.

• • Kids sleep better than adults.

  • Gym mats are adequate for sleeping. Inflated camping pads are better.

  • Whisper groups persisted longer than family conversations.

  • A few people got up in the night to use the restroom, not just the plaid jacket guy. But each one was noticed by the Chief.

  • The panthers have not seen anyone. But they’re getting close to Whitefish.

  • Fear did not stop appetites.

  • Exhaustion did not stop caution.

What we assume.

• • The Chief’s insights will improve with the chip. His anxiety will diminish, too.

  • Small groups will form between neighbors, especially those with kids. Then familiarity, then usefulness.

  • The enclave leadership team needs visibility to the people, not secrecy. They need to design a plan for the day or things will get chaotic.

  • Some people will be assets, some burdens, some threats.

What we will do next.

• • Leadership team to meet early, in the gym, not the rose garden.

  • First on the agenda will be to show some of the people the greenhouse, then the hospital. Food and healthcare addressed first.

  • Food will be brought after the leadership team meeting and before meeting with the people.

  • Leadership team greets and joins with the people as they all get their food.

  • Break into multiple groups and tour the greenhouse and hospital. Led by leadership team members and greenhouse and hospital teams.

  • Skill sets noted. Skills that could bolster the enclave: physicians, nurses, teachers, engineers, drivers, farmers, scientists, musicians, artists, lawyers, factory workers, livestock knowledge.

  • Note who steps forward quickly.

  • Note who holds back.

  • Note who watches others before speaking.
