Okay, I know a lot of shit is going on and we're trying to solve that stuff. Good power on that and everything. Also, just an aside, I'm also with Leo here. If anyone needs escorts places, I'm here for it.

Please note I'm not responsible for any nausea experienced through high speed travel.


ANYWAY! Back to the main point of this communication. That new 'upgrade' to the replicators? Been testing it out. There is now a SERIOUS supply of coffee at the diner. I've even replicated a small scale coffee machine to go alongside our French Press. And this month it's replicating flour.

Why am I telling you this other than to offer coffee and bread? Because the Diner could use more staples. But, like, I'm sure there are really good calls for other bulk resources too. Maybe stuff for the forge, or the hospital. Or a lot of really thick fabric to turn into blankets or something. So I was thinking maybe this is a good time for helping each other out.

I don't tend to keep Comms for long enough to want to program stuff, especially not with it being fall and me needing to do a TON of harvesting and preservation work. But maybe someone could whip up an additional small app where people could put in requests for what we could use bulk volumes of so that people could donate bulk replications if they don't have other things they need or want? And you could even program in the specifications for the replication too so that people donating them don't have to brain out how to do it themselves?

Just a thought.


Oh, and one last thing. Glitter Food ship people. You have no Agricultural Expertises right now. And the ships are the only place we can grow and manage the Earth Crops I got on the Spacedock. I'd really appreciate setting up some arrangement where someone could let me on every few days for a few hours to plant and manage the greenhouse there so we've got extra growing space. You know, real tomatoes and a blueberry bush and carrots. I miss carrots. Anyway, hit me up if you're willing to help on that.

Or on the other thing.


Or just with the plant stuff in general. It's a lot of work in the fall, the harvesting and the preserving foods for winter. So, yeah, any hands I can get would be nice. Thanks.

[faceguy]

Do you just need people to… pick stuff? I guess I can help.

[He has never been to any sort of farm and has no idea how harvesting works.]

[doubled_speed]

I need people to follow directions about harvesting. Either here or in Sh'Ka. Or to handle transportation from either to the diner. Or to help with the preservation process. Whichever they feel up to doing.

[faceguy]

Well I can do any of it! So put me in, coach.

[doubled_speed]

I can pay in pizza if you want.

Would you prefer courier duty or harvesting? And in which city?

[faceguy]

Is my pizza ban lifted?

[He didn’t forget.]

Harvesting I guess. But I can always courier on the side with my portals.

[As for what city…]

Ah, well, I’ll just stay wherever my bro is. If he has stuff to do in Sh’ka we can go over there though.

[doubled_speed]

[Dude, Tommy forgot that a while ago.]

Alright then. I can make a list of things that really need done right now and how to do it. Like, without the datapoint the written instructions are important. You might need gloves for some of it though. The sap of one of the sugarcane like bushes dries out my skin already, and I've got no clue what it would do to you.

[faceguy]

[Leo will never forget being compared to his brother in a negative way. It’s a matter of pride!]

Eugh boy, finding three fingered gloves has never been easy… Think the replicator can make ‘em?

[doubled_speed]

[Yeah, Tommy used to be like that. Age and trauma can sometimes help you grow out of that.]

Probably. You know what? I'll just describe the plant and where it is so you can avoid it. I'll do that myself. Don't want you hurt, Blueboy.

[faceguy]

[He hasn’t gone through his worst trauma yet, give him time.]

Hey, you don’t have to worry about me! I’m super hardy.

[stoicandsarcastic]

I can help you Tommy.

Um. It's Alec. I don't know if you remember me.

[doubled_speed]

Sandwich guy that helped with jam day!

[stoicandsarcastic]

Yeah, I guess that's me.

[doubled_speed]

It really is. You wanna make more jam?

[stoicandsarcastic]

I said I could help, right?

[Does the task itself matter much?]

[doubled_speed]

You did. I'm glad for it. Winter is always a harder time to provide fresh food for, even with the greenhouses. And we've got so much to restock.

[stoicandsarcastic]

Just tell me what to do.

[doubled_speed]

Alright. You know where the magic happens.

[in_extremis]

Got your app.

[It links to a portal with an entry system, and a list that seems to have already been populated by a quick scan of the network--for now, it says 'bulk volumes', then 'some arrangements', then 'carrots' and 'hands'. Maybe it could use some refining. Clearly, Tony doesn't think this system should be limited to bulk orders.]

[doubled_speed]

You're magically efficient, Tony! Thank you. Does this allow people to check things off?

[in_extremis]

How dare you

To an extent. Click on one, you can see who made the request, and when. The creator can remove it.

[doubled_speed]

You are though. This is so cool and useful. I wish I'd thought to ask for this the first year. Damn. I'm going to be SUPER EFFECTIVE at tracking things like this.

[in_extremis]

Hindsight's 20/20. The utopian dream that we were going to be working as a team here couldn't really compete with the rugged individualism. Now we've got an employee suggestion box.

[doubled_speed]

I mean, it could be worse. Remember when people wanted to vote for a government? When we didn't even really have this many people?

But god, don't suggest an employee suggestion box. I always sass people in those. And since I operate the diner I'd only be sassing myself. And that's sad.

[in_extremis]

Sorry to tell you this, but that's what you've got now, my dear. Everyone putting in requests, hoping it reaches someone competent around here.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, but it's not here for complaints, right? God I hope not.
