[ he doesn't seem to have budged at all in that time, but he opens his eyes, which move to look at the mug, then at you. ]

We can take a break from planning as long as you need.

[ looks back at the mug. or a point past it.

...shakes his head, slowly. ]

We've got the materials.

[nods]

If we knock out the ceiling and install it ourselves, we can cut down on some of the questing needed for ventilation. But we'd still have to do something to make sure none of the wildlife outside got into it and surprised us.

Layered barriers.

[ silence. ]

Hard grilles, outermost. Finer mesh, behind.

[ there is totally fresh blueprinting paper and writing tools in that bag beside him ]

[ ...he seems to be pretty fixed on watching the coffee steam. ]



Doesn't matter. Won't be seen.

The work benches shouldn't be too hard to get. Same with the tools and general materials.

You all right to handing these old machines to Zhen Ji for better metal?

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

A few to keep.


[ pulls his knees up a little. ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ ....shakes his head ]

Not for that.


[ sips at the coffee ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[impenetrable]

I know that, you dick, I'm trying to be nice.

[the coffee is decent]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...there's a small indistinct sound from that cup, that might be just an exhale or a really quiet second of laughing ]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[impenetrable]

Don't choke on the coffee.

[off to move the machines]

Re: [ sometime Day 57 ]

[ I'll clean it up properly when I'm done!

I'm super methodical like that ]
