I'm sorry, I didn't see someone else had already posted intention to deal with the missing schematics, my bad. Nix the whole bit then, and have Jamie research first aid, please. :)

I edited my original post accordingly.

Hrrrrm... Humans are stupid. Eat stuff. Die of old age. Die of a few bullets. Can drown. Have problems with radiation.

We should invest in more robots ! :D

Question on the side, though... Can a supervoter, theorethically, change to a character ? I love the direct controll over the Civ, but somehow, something feels missing...^^]

Presumably Badge is still in Europe somewhere ... unless we need to be checking the mighty Vault computer for dodgy vacuum tubes?

Badge is back, but needing to catch up at work before he can dive back in here. Sorry for the delay guys, I've been swamped at school, I was hoping to be able to step up while he was away, but haven't been able to carve out the time.

<Spring>
ÔÇ»The milder winter meant that spring arrived a little earlier than usual which meant that the dwellers, hidden away in their steel and concrete bunker could finally come up to the surface once again and take a deep breath of non-filtered (though slightly radiation laden) air. The clamor of activity could be heard as the vault seemed to come to life once more and the Computer, like clockwork, gave assignments to the dwellers living within its care. In order to maintain a certain level of health and well being, 4 dwellers were assigned to Health Services for rest and recuperation. Another 4 dwellers were assigned to guard duty. Another 4 were assigned to begin clearing more land. An additional 8 dwellers were assigned to recycle scrap into usable materials. A contingent of 8 were assigned to continue working on the firehouse.ÔÇ» An able bodied 7 were assigned to tend to the crops. Another 8 were assigned to scavenge the wasteland for valuables. Finally 2 were assigned to the library to research construction.ÔÇ»

In addition, several of the awakened performed some of their own tasks. Molly and Carlton work on power research and convince 7 dwellers to join them. Jaime works on first aid research and convinces 3 dwellers to join her. Cecil convinces one of the ex-Raiders to help him find the missing schematics and finally Isaac, having been in a coma for an entire year, finally awakens.ÔÇ» Kis, however, remains catatonic and unresponsive.

Though there was some debate about how the power should be distributed through the Vault, Health Services was left powered on and in an effort not to waste any time, 4 dwellers were sent to sickbay to be treated by the whirring metals arms and pokey needles. The health of three of the dwellers improved dramatically, but the fourth was a woman recovering from past injuries and radiation who also became pregnant this spring, and seemed to be suffering some early complications. Isaac, who had fallen into a coma for just at a year, awoke from his long slumber and got back to work as if nothing had happened.ÔÇ»

The protection of the vault, especially with the wall still only being 1/4 finished, was still an important task especially with the coming of spring and the awakening of the animals and beasts in the wilds. The 4 dwellers assigned to the task did a wonderful job the majority of the season, but they also slipped up when they didn't notice a pack of wild dogs running through the camp at night. They were eventually able to put all of them down without anyone getting hurt, but one mutfruit was damaged when the animals ran amuck within the not quite walled in compound. They were able to harvest 2 units of food from the dead dogs.

Now that the vault had the ability and resources to grow their own food through the spring to fall to seasons, more land needed to be cleared to allow for such gardens to be created. The 4 dwellers who were assigned were happy to be able to enjoy the outdoors, less so the poisonous plants. While clearing out the shrubbery and growth that had overtaken much of the island, two dwellers contracted an itchy skin rash. Regardless of skin conditions, the dwellers focused on clearing out all of the vegetation and buildings between the vault and the bridge which led off the main island. This acted as both a defensive and strategic move as now the guards were able to see anything that attempted to cross the bridge and towards the Vault. Their clearing efforts (8 progress) resulted in a total of 2 BM and 6 BS being found.

With the hopes and plans on more construction this year, at least while the warmer weather persists, the 8 dwellers who were assigned to recycle scrap got to work immediately. Unlike in seasons in the past, the group that was assigned to this work meshed well with their jobs and through teamwork and sweat they were able to create 7 Building materials this season. In addition, there were no injuries this season from their work and the by the end of the seasons the workers celebrated this fact.

The notion of using the Firehouse as a forward base of operation stayed in the forefront of the minds of those involved and the 8 dwellers who were sent to the task worked diligently in making the firehouse into a usable building. The workers quickly found however that without more building materials, their efforts on the firehouse would have to be placed on hold. This led them to salvage materials from the nearest buildings and using said materials directly. This influx in usable materials allowed them to continue adding panels of sheet metal and other materials over windows and doors (16 progress), with the plan to leave only 1 main door accessible from the front. In addition, a small amount of clearing was done on the north side of the firehouse which contained only the ruined remains of a small house. The workers hoped that in the future, a small wall could be built around this space so that the firehouse could eventually have its own food source.ÔÇ»

With the warmer weather arriving the mutfruit that had been set into the ground the year before needed tending, while the other crops needed to be replanted from seed. This work was given to 7 dwellers who took to the work without hesitation and without whining or complaining. In fact, based on the smiles on their faces, the dwellers seemed happy to perform the difficult work, regardless of the sweat which quickly beaded to their brows. The children enjoyed the garden work as well, laughing and squealing as they ran through the tilled earth chasing one another in some childish game or another. This sight caused those watching to forget for a moment the terribly harsh world they found themselves living in.ÔÇ»
They managed to plant and germinate all 14 units of tato and 13 units of melon, and the vigorously growing plants look ready to begin producing in the coming months.
Now that the mutfruit trees were established, they began producing fruit, adding 9 units of fresh fruit to the Vault's larder, and managing to collect enough seed for another 3 units of mutfruit trees.

There was a continued desire for trade-goods, mostly ones that have been saved from the old-world. This desire sent 8 dwellers out in search of valuables that could then be traded to anyone from the wasteland that happened upon them. Their searching led them out away from the island that was their home, towards the firehouse that they had fought to protect. The streets between the vault and the firehouse had been stripped bare of even the old rusting lamp-posts that had once lined these streets. Having no where else to turn but further into town, the group of scavengers moved toward the lake, behind the firehouse, searching the rubble of houses and businesses in hopes of finding anything that had any worth. The houses that could be safely entered, few that there were, were searched to great success, but as the season came to a close, the group found that they had searched every square inch of the area until there was nothing left to search. They found:ÔÇ» 39 units of items that have no value for building, but may be of value for trade.

The library was packed full of researchers working on various projects but had been mostly taken over by the Awakened who worked toward their own agendas which weren't always in line with what the Computer calculated was needed. Thus, the Computer was only able to send 2 dwellers into the library to study construction and these two made good work towards their goal (+14 progress).ÔÇ»

The rest of the library had been taken over by Jamie, Molly and Carlton.ÔÇ»ÔÇ»
Jamie, with the help of 3 others researched first aid. While they had had some first hand experience in the field they still needed to know more and they did this by hunting down books on the subject of healing wounds. While they did find a battered old copy of something called ".....geon Master's Guide". The cover was badly damaged, as were the pages within, but they were able to find one section that survived which described a healing method called "heal minor wounds", Jamie and her group tried to follow the steps within the book but were confused as to why it didn't work. They focused instead on books that they found called "How to Treat Minor Cuts and Abrasions" and "A Naturalist's Guide to Herbs and Tonics". Using these guides they were able to make a great amount of headway toward first aid (+53 progress).ÔÇ»

Molly and Carlton came together and convinced 7 others to join them in researching power. The one thing that had been slipping their grasp was how to connect from their wonderful machines to the vault itself. Finally they came upon the book that solved all of their issues called "The Power Grid and you". The wiring diagrams and schematics contained within went into great detail about power lines, but further within the book they found instructions on how the existing power grid was able to be connected into the vaults back when the world wasn't a hell-hole. This area had spent a great deal of money in burying power lines to improve the aesthetic appeal of communities and much of this grid could very well exist beneath their feet. If they could find a way to tap into it, they would be able to construct a power creating machine anywhere that the grid remained connected to the vault. Power Generation Research was finished at last (+55 progress) and could now be put to use.ÔÇ» As research was completed before the end of the season, a bit of time was able to be spent helping out on other projects.ÔÇ» (Any of the pre-discovered power systems can be built: A quick "inspection" of a project will allow us to come up with a "cost" for you, you can ask in-game)

The vault was finally growing as 7 female dwellers found themselves to have gotten their impregnated. This included Molly, who as she explained, had been receiving "decorating tips" for her bedroom from one of the former Raiders.ÔÇ»
In other news, the Raiders had finally been accepted as full-members within the vault and as such were no longer ostracized by the awakened ones and fell swiftly into job duties as dictated byÔÇ» the computer.
Cecil, upset by the loss of the schematics asks for the help of one of the ex-Raiders, now finally a real dweller, in searching for these papers. His quest for answers, though filled with good intentions found him getting nowhere as each dweller that was questioned about their whereabouts at the time of the loss, had a witness or friend that had been with them. He tried to get a good read off of them, but everyone seemed genuine in their answers, though perhaps a bit suspicious of his continued questioning.ÔÇ»

I decided to stay like that for another bit.^^ But thanks for reasking.

U/hm... Did I overread it, or is the finished 4th-flour-cleaning missing ? I hoped we finally got to know what that floor was good for. :D

No new problems this season - I suggest we consolidate before moving outwards. So...
My suggestions:
L1 (possibly at the fire base as they have lots of BS and need BM) / L7 (using available and newly created BM) / L8
Power 1 (I think we still have sick and wounded to attend to from previous seasons)

If anyone asks about the expectant mothers ... light duties would be best. Although the one that seems to have a mind of her own can figure things out for herself...
