Good. [ That they kept on top of it, because it is definitely not an answer to how she's feeling. Kate leans against the doorframe and lets her head loll back against it for a moment.
Where the hell does she begin answering that?
Whatever their newest overlord has brought with him is a knot in her gut saying to spill everything, to confess exactly how badly she screwed up.
But she ignores it like she ignores so many things. ] Passed out towards the end. Overworked myself.
the roll of her eyes is accompanied by a small smile, meant affectionately more than anything. ] I know.
[ and, after a beat, ] Sorry. Feel like I let you down. Heard how bad things got in the last two days. [ the words 'caused it' almost tack themselves onto that, but she catches them before they bubble out of her throat. ] Should have been there to help. [ as little as she could have probably managed. ]
[ well... it's a dump. like everything else here. but there were always people who disliked being treated, no matter how much sense it made. getting some of her friends to sit down and be healed could be a frustrating exercise back home. ] Maybe they couldn't come at all. [ god only knows how many people died because of those extra strength monsters they unleashed. ]
[ Clearly they need a register with a field for tallying how many times a person died.
Playing idly with a loose bit of hair, Kate pushes herself off the doorframe and pauses for a second. ] Might be a bit too late for this. [ She's guessing, but since Sharon was revived, she doubts there's anyone killed in this mess who hasn't come back already. ] Next time.
[ And she'll join him in looking through shelves. ] How much have we lost?
We've used a little more than half of our supplies.
[He admits, biting the inside of his cheek.]
We'll have to make a real push- not a general network post, it's time to start approaching people individually and guilting them into scavenging, one on one.
Seems like there's plenty of that going around now. Probably going to be easy. [ And it makes her feel like shit to say that, but it would work, right now.
She speaks again after a pause, because she does not want to continue thinking about using this event for personal gain, not right now; ] Least we'll have some plants to use for medicine soon.
Might be able to get some of the plants they used for medicine here. [ shrug. she's waiting for Hakkai's response, but if nothing else, knowing that there were such things is a boon in and of itself. ] It's better than nothing. Gives us a place to start.
[ although this all requires getting people who know anything about making medicines to make them. a well stocked, clean clinic is the most important thing you have to remember. Dagny would probably keel over if she saw this place. ] Reet. [ Here, have your notebook and a brief pause as Kate pushes away the urge to go spilling half her life yet again.
Thanks, Sorrow. like she hasn't had that happen enough lately. ] S'pose I'll... make some lists or something. [ restocks, mainly. although there's a list of medications from back home floating in her head. not that she has any idea how to make them or how complex they are. still... ]
I wish we had a library. I wish Hope would offer us another book- were you here when that happened? We all got a title from home. I'd have requested something on how to chemically synthesize different drugs from scratch rather than comfort food.
[Instead he got Isaac Asimov, which seems a shame now.]
[ This is clearly a job for Ronan TBH. She shakes her head, and adds; ] Doubt he's gonna give any of us books right now. [ not after recent events. Whether that would be out of exhaustion or spite, she isn't sure. ] Would be nice to know more than what to prescribe people when their powers are shot.

I know there was carnage, but we didn't see a lot of it. I don't think people still really intuitively come here when they're hurt.

But they can do some tests.]
I'm going to get back out there.

Have to chat with him. Now get going. Plants don't catalogue themselves.
