The new world – 4

We are back. The return trip took much less time, because we knew where the food was. Nobody has moved out of the RV’s. There is a small group at the settlement, more at the lake house and the most at Kate’s beach cabin. We have dropped most of the chores, so no one is doing any regular foraging. The uterus was returned to the med lab and a notice sent out to let the owner of it know. Mild grumpies are making the rounds. No one will admit it but the fresh veggies keep us happy, that and having something productive to do.
Kate is getting in her sloshing in the water beach time.

The group needs a new project. We have moved from a functioning society of sorts to just kind of existing again.
Elbert asked why no one has moved out of the RV’s and learned that RV means recreational vehicle and we were finally using them as intended.
Charlotte stood unaided yesterday. It is amazing how fast she is developing. I want to test her for developmental disorders, but don’t want to alarm Ashley and Ryan. She seems really healthy, but is way ahead of schedule in most areas.

Gwen, Olivia and Harris asked Finn to marry them. He said he didn’t feel obliged to and suggested that Ethan could do it on the raft in the pond. There was yelling.

Gwen and Olivia are horrible to be around. They have invited Maxwell and Ruby to the wedding, and no one else, Ethan will marry them. They are demanding that the rest of us help them get it planned and set up.

The crazies are fabricating a small yacht. Not one of them knows how to sail. I hope no one gets hurt.
I miss the good food. It was usually always a surprise, but we ate really well during the trip.

We got word that Savannah has died.

Everyone is upset, baby Savannah has died. Probably from SIDS.
Snarf has become difficult to manage, we will travel to stay with the folks at the beach after lunch. Maybe being around familiar faces will help him.

Savannah has died. Alana and Zane have already buried her. I would have preferred to do an autopsy on her. The group is devastated. Charlie now has helicopter parents, aunts and uncles. She doesn’t even nap alone anymore. Even Snarf only leaves her to eat and poop. Kurt has taken to just feeding him where ever the baby is. Elbert is acting strangely; I will do a scan on him during his download time.

Kate discovered that my bio-fluids were breaking down at an accelerated rate. She changed them out and I feel better now. The group has decided to head out again, we will be traveling north to explore the western side of the peninsula; they have hopes of finding different food items. I think they want to get away, it feels bad here. I have had that feeling that I get when something bad happens again. The group is loading up on solid units, other necessities and a few frills here and there. Another storage sled has been fabricated. We will meet at the lake house and leave from there. We plan to head out the day after the wedding.

We received a distress call from Droid5. He requested aid for two droids that were trapped underwater. The sea was rough and the boat capsized. He reported that the people on board swam to shore and were fine, but the droids on board that were acting as servers went down with the boat and were now pinned. Both had nano bubbles, but one was failing. Cam and Tyler went to fish them out. Jack and Kate went to the droid bay to set up a triage area. Droid10 was called back from the diamond mine.

Cam and Tyler rescued droids 7 & 8. Both were ringed to the droid bay. Droid7 was fine and just needed a good charge. Droid8 needed work. Kate and Jackson used the suspension device hoping it would work on droids. It did. They worked for almost seven hours to restore full function. The work was successful. After charging Droid7 was sent to the diamond mine using the hypertube that Droid10 traveled in. Droid8 was plugged in to the fast charger. Before we left Jackson told them that they were not required to put themselves in danger. He told them that we had plans to leave in the morning.

The boat capsized. Fortunately Ruby and Maxwell had sense enough to stay on dry land and the only people on the boat were Ethan, Harris, Gwen and Olivia. They all made it to shore. The two droids didn’t. They were rescued; one of them needed extensive work after recovery.
We have decided to leave tonight. Everything has been restocked; the chickens were never reintegrated into the old flock, they will come with us.
