Morning found everyone gathered for breakfast. There was much laughter as the two groups got to know each other better. The folks from Luther’s group had lived for weeks with the threat of starvation and murder because of Evan’s actions. The relief they felt now was visible in their eyes and their smiles. Powdered eggs, real sausage, and fresh onions didn’t hurt either.

When the meal was done, they spent some time as a group discussing the skills people already had, and what they’d like to achieve. Two of Luther’s men were former soldiers, another was a mechanic who was willing to take up the Engineering trade. One of the women from the group was a former EMT with five years on the job. She was fascinated by the new healing abilities within the system. Amanda immediately adopted her into the infirmary. Lilly picked up two elderly ladies who already had sewing skills and wanted to contribute.

Nancy and two of the other ladies became the unofficial wardens of the kids during the day. Those from Luther’s group that were orphans had already been taken in by others, but the community at large had been helping to take care of them. They saw no reason to change that.

Nancy pushed once again for Allistor to expand the Warren above ground. Put up some walls and allow them to garden safely. With more mouths to feed and more kids to occupy, it was a clear necessity.

Allistor asked her to wait with him and requested Luther and George join them. The four of them went topside and looked around. George admired the garden, which he hadn’t seen in the fading light on their way in.

After some brief discussion, Allistor disclosed their extensive Stronghold account and said they would add to it by selling one of the RVs. Luther and George agreed, as long as Allistor promised they’d make a trip up to retrieve a few more. They were a good way for groups to travel long distances that might require overnight stays. If they were going to expand, they’d need that ability.

Allistor opened up his Stronghold interface and authorized the others to see it. Luther was already slightly familiar with it, having built his Stronghold. They discussed the options and chose a modest beginning. After making the selections, and reviewing the cost, he approved the transaction.

The same golden glow that had engulfed the cavern below wrapped around the four humans standing in the middle of the former sheriff’s station. When it faded, they were surrounded by stone walls twenty feet high. A rampart ran the entire length of the interior, about five feet below the top of the wall. Switchback stone stairs ran upward from the now smooth ground every hundred feet or so. There was a single gate with two massive metal doors that rose twenty feet from the ground, each one hung with two six-foot long hinges. The perimeter of the wall ran two hundred yards in each direction, meaning it encompassed just under ten acres of land.
