You're the prototype for me and if heaven wants to take us they can try
Ronin's approach is acknowledged with a quiet nod, the doctor uncertain until that point if the man was going to join them, or simply be an observer. "I can think of a handful of reasons for them not to take to it." Nate replies lightly, leaning against Sunjata as if showing off just one of them. The pose doesn't shift even as others filter in, a woman who is utterly unfamiliar, and a man who is only barely familiar.
Regardless of how casual he tended to be, some part of Nate seems to straighten up as he addresses those assembled, clapping his hands together before he speaks. "I want to thank everyone for coming, first of all. If what we do today helps just one person, then it's more than worth it." An unwavering smile clings to his face as he speaks, as he turns to gesture to the boxes. "There's lots to do, and I'm hoping breaking the tasks up will make them go faster. What I want is to get the basics of an emergency kit filled out, the things that might be harder to have on hand for the average person, in a bag big enough that it can be added to."
Going over what needed to be done once more in his mind, Nate started outlining tasks. "I'll need someone to cut and fold bandages, I have a few templates already made, and instructions on the best way to fold them." He moved to pull a box free from the group, bolts of plain white fabric filling it, along with a pair of shears, and the aforementioned examples. "Water filters need to be assembled, which... would go fastest as a two person job, I think." There was a box of bottles with the bottoms cut off, ready to be turned into simple filters, though the rest of the supplies needed a little more work. "There's charcoal and corks that needs to be broken down into smaller pieces, and the bottles will need the necks stopped with fabric before they can be assembled. I uh, have another example in with the bottles." Let no one say he hadn't done at least a little bit of preparing. "I managed to get a hold of some food that will need to be sorted properly, each bag will need some kind of vegetable or fruit, and some kind of protein." And finally, last but not least: "And the bags. They need to be waterproofed, there's some wax around, but if anyone knows an easier way, I'm open to suggestions."
Nate had done more than enough talking it felt like, and for once he was happy to fall silent again, and let his volunteers choose their tasks.
Round 1!
There are 5 tasks!
1. Cutting and folding bandages. There is fabric and scissors provided, along with an example of what to do.
2a. Preparing filter media for the water filters, specifically breaking down large cork and charcoal pieces into something finer.
2b. Preparing bottles to be used as filters by covering one end with fabric and filling with the various filter medias (charcoal, cork, sand, gravel) when they're ready.
3. Sorting jars of food and separating them into batches for each kit.
4. Waterproofing the bags, either with the provided block of wax, or by some other method.
Feel free to use the entire space of the Slagveld, and assume that any simple tools or materials have been provided. :>
