I'm the first one behind that. It helps, anyways, if they're doing things that will be beneficial to the return - both for them to agree and others. I draw the line at things that would endanger their life without their agreement to it, though.
There seems to be some confusion as to whether the Initiative brought us here intentionally or whether it is the fault of the machine you're using. I've heard variations on the first and only one person claiming the second.
I'd send this to both of you but don't even pretend like you're not in the same room right now, so consider this a message for Lowell as well
The pair of you (+Small, technically but whatever) gets to say what we do and don't do and I know you've probably more than a few ideas about what needs to get sorted, so consider this a diplomatic suggestion more than anything else. As much as I hate to say it, it seems to me like we're in a position where supply runs might actually be legitimately important if people are to survive down on the planet for long. I'm thinking survival gear, some generators to run some heating units, some heavy winter clothing for anyone who doesn't have their own kit already. Gasoline, medical supplies to beef up those first aid kits people've probably run through already, etc. I can draw up a list if you'd like
We won't be down planet side until tomorrow, but if we put our noses to it that should give everyone enough time to get things sorted I'd think? Though I can't claim to know how long it takes to make that equipment do what you'd like it to do, so that may be an unfair estimation on my part
[Lowell wheels his chair over to Vennett's desk, and reads over the text.]
I'd be surprised if he didn't. He's the smart one of their group, anyway. I'd say we finalize our list of wheres and whens, send it off to Small, and then put it into action.
[Vennett makes a face at that. He'd been outside only briefly before deciding .. as much as he was truly and thoroughly grateful to be back on earth? Fuck that cold.]
