MORGAN

Morgan! I’m glad to see you; it’s been a busy couple of days, and I’d meant to talk to you sooner. Wait ’til you see what we’re having built next!” Olivia waved to Morgan as he approached the Colony Stone.

“Oh, something other than housing?” he asked as he walked up to her. She had a hand on the stone and seemed to be concentrating on something in the air in front of her face. He chuckled at her blank stare as she navigated the System UI screens.

“That’s right! We put up the last mass housing unit yesterday. Now we have enough beds for every colonist. We’ll start building nicer homes soon, but first, we want to get some infrastructure and important buildings in, starting with a brewery and tavern! We all agreed that a gathering place should take precedence, and Arthur, of all people, suggested a bar to help with morale.” Olivia was chuckling as her eyes darted back and forth over the menus.

“You won’t get any arguments from me.” Morgan felt a rumbling in the ground and heard some yelling and cheering from off to his left. He walked over the crown of the hilltop to see what was happening, Olivia following close behind. Down the western slope of the hill, Morgan could see a crowd gathered but held back by several people who had staked off a large rectangular section of ground. Within the rectangle, the colonists had piled large stacks of cut trees. A cloud of yellow, sparkling fog grew out of the grass around the timber. Soon, nothing was visible within the sparkling mist, and the ground started churning. As Morgan watched, a large two-story building rose out of the earth. “Goddamn, that’s what I call fast construction!”

“Yeah, the System certainly makes construction painless,” Olivia replied, coming to stand next to him. The building was settling into place, the ground smoothing out into packed earth around it. The sides of the building were made from the same dark earth-colored bricks as the smithy. It had large windows framed in wooden shutters. The roof was peaked and made from heavy-looking timbers and slats.

“So, you only had to supply the wood? Does the System pull everything else out of the earth? Glass? Metals? Brick? Pretty damn convenient.” Morgan had thought his tower construction was novel, but it seemed that building structures out of nothing was fairly commonplace, with Energy use being the new normal.

“Yeah, I guess so.” Olivia’s frown belied her agreement.

“Judging by the vents on the roof, I bet the brewery portion is on the second floor? You think it comes with supplies to make beer?”

“No, the description indicated we’d need to grow our own or purchase ingredients from the Contribution Store.”

“Huh, well, that’s pretty cool, anyway. You already have people picked out to work in there?” Morgan looked around at the crowd, wondering if any of the onlookers would soon be making beer and serving customers.

“Actually, yes. Some colonists with agricultural backgrounds were assigned to create this industry in the planned settlement, so they’ll be stepping in.
