[ When Rhys starts the feed, he's leaning against the hood of one of the trucks between the warehouses in town. He's got a new shirt on, courtesy of Foodland, and has decided to forego the vest and tie, at least for the time being. ]

Hi, fellow captives!

[ He probably shouldn't sound so cheerful with a greeting like that. ]

For anyone who doesn't know me, the name's Rhys Strongfork. I've been exploring the town since yesterday and I found a few things that might be useful. First of all, I found these things.

[ He gestures over his shoulder with a thumb. With his metal hand, for anyone who might react to it. ]

If anyone's good at cars, maybe we could take a look at them and see if we could use them. It'd be an efficient way to cart supplies from the town to the cabins, if nothing else.

I also found greenhouses! Only one was actually whole as far as I could see, but there are seeds and everything, so if there's someone who likes gardening, we could try growing our own food.

Lastly, I found an abandoned train. I managed to open a couple of the cars and found beer and toasters, and also lots of boxes? But I couldn't open all of them, probably because they've been standing there for a while. I don't have a lot of brute strength so if anyone would like to help me open the others, I'd appreciate it!

Rhys, out.

[ He makes a salute, then ends the feed. ]

It's gas. You use it to power a bunch of the broken down vehicles around here, if we can get them working.

[ Probably also the only gas available, but it should last for a little while at least. ]

[snowflicks]

[There's a flicker or understanding in his eyes, mouth opening slightly in a soft 'ah'. He pats the side of the train car, so it powered this at one time?]

[theprezident]

[ It takes a moment for him to realise what the patting is supposed to mean. ]

Oh, no, trains usually run on electricity. The same kind of power that the lights in the cabins do.

[snowflicks]

[Considering he's used the patting thing to get Rhys' attention before it's understandable he'd be confused for a second.

Speaking of confused, electricity is still very much that to Song Lan. As far as he's concerned the lights in the cabins are some sort of magic. A magic called electricity it seemed.

Confusion furrows his brow, but he just nods all the same. Pointing to the gas now he'll then ask-]

Need help putting gas in safe location?

[He imagines leaving it here wouldn't be good. That Rhys would prefer to have it some place he can easily keep track of it.]

[theprezident]

I'm more worried about the barrels in the other car.

[ He knows where the gas is, and while the spill isn't good, the radioactive waste is more important to deal with. ]

[snowflicks]

[He only writes one thing.]

Dangerous?

[If so then he agreed, it should be taken care of.]

[theprezident]

Very. That stuff can really mess you up. We need to somehow find somewhere that's safe from both humans and nature. If we put it out in the forest somewhere, it could seep into the ground if something happened to the barrels, and we don't want that.

[ Maybe those cliffs he's seen in the distance? Somewhere? Somehow? God, he doesn't know. ]
