[Carol's finding ways to pass the time while spending most of it reading in the library. She's read a lot of fantasy and romance fiction in her downtime, and it's making her a little nostalgic for the times her parents would read stories to her before bed. And since she's spent so much time in the library, she hasn't had much of a chance to get to talk to other people, which is driving her crazy because she's the kind of person who likes to talk to people.

So later in the evening, she'll find a quiet spot to use her tablet, in a place where she hopefully won't bother anyone.]

What kind of stories does everyone here like? I've been reading reading a lot of fantasy and romance stories, but since there's so many of us I'm sure everyone here has an interesting story to tell. Either something they've heard from back home or just a silly or interesting anecdote.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to hear some of these stories.

[This is also her way of finding out more about the people who live here too.]

[Alright, while Alex has used the video function several times already, this will be her first attempt at publicly addressing the network.

No pressure.]

U-Um... hello. My name is Alex Benedetto, and I arrived here at the beginning of the month.

[Hard to believe it's already going to be September. Time flies when you're forced into a war effort.] I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me out so far. It's been... really helpful in getting a grasp on what's really going on.

[Bit of a lie. She's still somewhat lost and in disbelief, but at least she's not showing it as much.]

I did have a question, though.

My doctor hasn't been brought here, and I was wondering if there were any among the Transports. The Initiative has been pretty helpful to me so far, but... It couldn't hurt to know of others I could visit.

Thanks.

[action for roommates]

[Alex turns off her device and heads towards the exit of her room. Though she didn't mind the cots, it was nice to be able to have a bed of her own, even if she had been used to living in the cramped apartment with Worick and Nicolas. Her new roommates seemed nice enough, and she hoped that they would all get along with each other.

Thinking that now would be a good time to do a bit of bonding, Alex finally left her bedroom proper to take a look around.]

Hello...?

Padme? Kara?

[Were either of them even in the apartment right now?]

[The feed cuts in to show the interior of her newly constructed abode, the main room clearly large enough to fit her full form, though a number of smaller human sized doors can be seen to one side of the room.]

With the completion of my most recent project, with thanks to those who assisted me, I intend to begin work on my next major project. One that would provide additional options for shelter and greater protection to any seeking shelter during an attack.

This will involve the construction of a number of strategically placed fortified safe houses through out the city. Needless to say this shall be no small task, both in resources and effort.

I would like to ask any who wish to aid in such an endeavor in any capacity to step forward.

[Private to Billy and Aidan]

It may as yet still be sparsely furnished, but as Billy and I spoke of previously, I would like to extend an offer of accommodation to you both. Should you wish to have lodgings separate of the housing blocks.

The both of you are welcome to drop by whenever you wish.

Also, Billy I have something for you.

[Private to Kang]

Kang, I have some time free now between these projects should you wish to come by, should you wish to look over what information may be of use to us, among other things.

[With that she gives a tap to the crystal around her neck in meaning.]
