Though the summer brought warmth as was common, this particular summer was much warmer than the last and this in its own way aided the dwellers more than it hurt them. The Computer quickly doled out tasks that it felt were their best chance to retake the wasteland and work on making a permanent home for the dwellers here in this new world. It first tasked a group of 13 dwellers to build a manual pump even though there were no materials with which to build it. To make up for this complete lack in the building resources, it assigned 13 dwellers to reclaim the surplus of building scrap and recycle it into usable resources. It assigned another 13 dwellers to the task of going out and scrounging the wasteland for additional building materials. It determined that since dwellers were being sent out scrounging anyways and a good source of Food and Water still hadn't been found, it would send 4 dwellers out for Food/Water collection. Finally the Computer assigned 7 dwellers to the task of guard duty, knowing that with so many dwellers scrounging around, there was sure to be trouble. On the Research Front, especially with some of the research computers up and running again, the Computer assigned a total of 15 dwellers to work on several research projects.
The 13 dwellers assigned to manually reclaiming and recycling scrap really hated their jobs. This was partially due to them being outside in the hot sun and forced to work with substandard tools in order to complete their task. It was also because the 13 dwellers who had been assigned to build the pump were standing around doing nothing except for yelling at them to hurry up. This caused tensions to rise and come to blows all of about 3 times. While two of these times, tensions were eased, mainly by the guards waving about their weapons threatening to maim anyone who was fighting, the third time actually caused some injuries which ended in a broken hand and a sprained ankle. The broken hand belonged to one of the Vault's pregnant females, who was knocked backwards in the scuffle and landed on her hand awkwardly (10 damage).
For a few dwellers who had previously worked in the library, perhaps the most denigrating part of their jobs though was the understanding that they were peasants, as written about in the holy book: Kings, Knights and the little people. The knowledge that they, unlike the guards who deemed themselves as knights and the Computer which they thought of as the King, were just peons tasked with such a basic job which had no regard for their individual talent no matter how smart nor how strong some of them might be. This caused, unpleasant thoughts to happen and the some of the people began to grumble about the "way things were". In total they were able to create a total of 15 building materials.
The scavengers were in somewhat of the same boat, except they were quite joyous in the fact that they were able to at least leave the perimeter that marked the edges of the vault compound. The building material group and the Food/Water group teamed up in their quests, partially for safety's sake and partially for more hands to carry whatever it was that they found. That they did this made the computer pauses briefly, its circuits firing as it ran the numbers over and over again and finally acknowledged that teamwork could make things happen more efficiently. It wasn't sure what this teamwork should or would look like, but it decided that it would be best to send some dwellers to research this idea at a later time. The search party, large as it was, decided that now was the best time to explore deeper into the town known as Millersport. This idea was possibly the best and worst idea that they could have come up with. Only a short distance further than any of them had traveled before lay the partial ruins of something that had been known as a "Family Dollar". The dwellers had no concept of what this was, but what they found among the ruins would change their lives... forever. Wheeled carts with "Family Dollar" printed on the plastic handle. Of the 11 carts they found, 9 were in good repair, the remaining pair were missing some parts however. The group were ecstatic at the notion that finally they had found something that would allow them to carry more stuff. The Food/Water team were able to find a few cans of food among the ruins and the resource team loaded heaps and piles of what they hoped would be satisfactory building materials into the carts. The trip back from that foray was perilous though, the teams ran into a group of slaves-traders heading south with 3 prisoners. If not for the carts, the dwellers might have been able to move past them without being seen, but the carts, wheeled as they were, were forced to stay on the road in order to continue. While the dwellers won the encounter, it came at a terrible cost. The showdown left 2 dwellers with minor injuries of 2 and 5 damage each, a pair who sustained 8 damage, and 2 that were critically wounded for 10 damage. One of the women that had taken 8 damage was another of the pregnant dwellers, upon their return, the Computer noted that perhaps sending pregnant vault dwellers into dangerous situations may not be advisable. As best as could be determined without operational Health Services, the developing fetus was unharmed. They were able to free all of the prisoners, sadly 1 died during the ensuing conflict. The scavengers were also able to loot the bodies of the 4 dead slavers of their things: Worn Leather Boots (4), Light Leather Armor (2), Reinforced Leather Armor (1), Leather Duster (1), Battered Sword (1), Sawed-off Shotgun (2), Rifle (1). Between them, for some reason they were carrying a total of 159 bottlecaps. Unsure of what to do with the 2 slaves, they brought them back to the vault to decide what to do with them. In total the Food/Water team found: 6 clean and 10 irradiated units of food, and 2 clean and 10 irradiated units of water and the BM team found: 17 building materials and 52 building scrap.
It was a fairly boring summer for the guards and they mostly focused their efforts killing any remaining disfigured monsters that they found on the island. Other than the Mirelurks who kept mainly to the marina to the south, the guards made short work of the beasts and thought best to bring the carcasses back to the vault in an effort to see if any of it could be used. In total, they ended up with 10 units of clean meat and 23 units of irradiated meat, all of which was dried to a jerky for preservation purposes. Impressed as the Computer was at their efforts, it made a note in its memory banks to send out a hunting party in an effort to find additional sources of Food. One of the guard patrol duties was down near the main road and the party met a ghoul which they thought to be just like any of the others they had come across. Even as it begged for them to stop, they riddled its body with bullets and took its things: Crumpled Fedora, Threadbare Suit, Faded Letter, 14 Bottlecaps. The Computer found their report interesting and cautioned that the guards try to speak to the ghouls in the future, as it didn't seem normal for them to talk, as most of them seemed more interested in trying to eat the dwellers faces.
On the research front, the 15 dwellers who were sent to the library split off to their individual tasks and began their research projects. Of the 5 computers that were available to use for research, 1 was used to research how to upgrade health services, 1 was used to research scrap organization, 1 was used to research BM hauling and 2 were used to research water removal from the lower levels. With the additional resources that the computer terminals offered, research progressed much faster on all fronts and each of the four research groups found success in what they were doing. The dwellers who were given access to the computer terminals, though initially faced with a steep learning curve, quickly became experts in their own right and greatly aided the efforts in research. The final tallies of the research accomplished this season: Water Removal 185/200, Construction Methods 1/100, Scrap Organization 58/100, Material Transport 51/100, Upgrade Health Services 50/100.
On the interesting side of things, the Computer noted that, while the bovine creature was mutated by the radioactive elements of the wasteland, having gained a second head, it was still...more or less a cow and cows meant a source of food. Though the Computer did consider for some time just killing the creature in the hopes that its meat could be processed and could in turn provide meat to the dwellers, it decided instead of attempt to heal it. Though the dweller who was charged with using the first aid kit had little to no knowledge of how to work on creatures that were not human, he still had excellent results. The cow, now able to stand upon its own legs again seemed quite unthankful of its salvation and probably would have left the area if not for a nearby bucket of water, which it began drinking from. After this point, as long as the dwellers kept filling said bucket with water, and allowing it to roam about cropping the sparse vegetation, the cow-like creature was unwilling to stray to far away.
The most important task at hand was the Manual Pump and with 13 dwellers working on it, the Computer was hoping for the best results. Using the miniature model that had been created, the dwellers got to work on creating a full scale model. With so much help working on the project work went quickly, but they were still hampered by the lack of organization, even though they were using materials as fast as they were being found or recycled. A number of false starts and flawed prototype resulted in building materials being wasted on dead-end projects, but many of these were able to be converted to scrap. By the end of the season, even though the group had several failed attempts as well as materials breaking while they were being used, they ended up with the frame of a manual pump that allowed up to 4 dwellers to use it at one time. The pump consisted of something similar to a seesaw, with handles on each side that could be pushed up and down by the dwellers who would end up working on the contraption. The inner gears and workings that would drive the suction still needed to be fashioned or found and installed and the tubing that would be placed down to the lower levels still needed to be created as well.
Total work accomplished: 56/100
BM consumed: 18 units
BS generated: 32 units
A 23 year old female dweller who had until now thought of herself as Lola Carson woke up feeling that that had been in error. Her name was obviously Alexis Carson; but all of her friends that she didn't know she had could call her Kis. (Quarg's character)

[Quarg is our only Character Player at the moment, so is the only one who can currently take independent action on the part of Kis Carson. Some more of you will be getting characters soon, but should vote as Non-Character Players for this turn. The distinction in voting is that for a CP, they can only do one thing in a given turn, but it need not be one of the options provided. If you have something you think would be a good idea, go ahead and try it (and it may show up as an option in future turns). If a CP does chose to join other dwellers in a voted upon task, there would be benefits to having a dweller with such a strong personality working alongside the other vault dwellers.]
