MORGAN
And oh, poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
The world's a beast of a burden
First to arrive was Noah; Morgan gave him a nod and a smile, surprised that he'd been paying attention to when she'd left. The Warden had always been an early riser and quick person, punctual almost to a fault (usually arriving far earlier than she needed to to most events). "No, I'm not sure. This is a decision that will affect all of us, so I put out the offer to anyone interested. We will see."
It seemed Deimos and Aisha were the only remaining citizens interested in the location of the Greenhouse; She welcomed both of them and snorted at Aisha's comment, offering a shrug. "It will mean less infighting about the decision. I am happy with this amount of people." Enough to bounce a conversation off of, but not too many that the location would become a huge issue.
So, they began the tour. First Morgan took them out of the gates and turned to look forward at the Citadel, the walls and posts of the main gate rising up over them. "The first place we could build the Greenhouse would be along this wall out here. The benefit here would be that it was easily accessible for hunters or travellers, and the greater security around the wall would have it be easily protected. However, obviously, it's not wonderfully convenient for most people, and is separated from the rest of the Citadel if we for any reason need to stay within the walls."
Then they went back in through the gates, up the road to the half-remains of the Palace and the Council Hall snugly beneath it, where a space was available in what used to be an ornate courtyard - Morgan didn't really have use for such things. "Here would be central to the Citadel and the positioning by the Hall might make it more clear that this is a communal resource. The central location would make it good for deliveries and exports and it would be easy to guard in the event of a siege on the Citadel." Not that she felt that was coming any time soon (or at least, she really hoped not), but it was good to always be prepared.
Finally, she turned right and went down the streets and alleys that lead to the village and homes in Halo, where bars and small stalls mingled with residential gardens and yards. Some turned to look at the Warden passing by, some didn't seem to notice; Morgan stopped by the inner wall, where a ruined house had rotted away over time. "This is the final possible location. It is hidden from the gates and most of the main streets, so anything valuable stored within the Greenhouse is better protected. It's position here among the houses means that people would be easily able to take food if they needed to. As with the outer position, the proximity to the wall does mean it will be well protected. However, it will be quite out of the way for a lot of the workers and couriers that need to access it."
Hands clapped together, she turned to the three. "Opinions?"
