let there be light (text)

Hey everyone.

First, if anyone here knew Ed Elric, he's left us for home. He was my lab partner and friend for the last few months, and I'm going to miss him.

Second: this cold isn't exactly the best environment for plant growth, but plants are an important food group for most of us. I've brought some spectrum lamps for plant growth back from Hydroponics on the base, along with some I built myself. There should be enough to power a small indoor agriculture operation for a while, and I'm working on more with my limited supplies.

Third: I'm also working on compact heaters if any of you ended up in unheated residences. The process is slow without supplies or collaborators, but if current progress holds, five should be ready within the week.

[... You guys are out of control]

what sort of materials are you looking for?

Copper. Coiled wire. The casing isn't strictly required to be of high quality, but I do want some kind of shield material there. I have that, though.

... I'd ask how you managed to get shielding matreial, but I used to work with researchers. [ergo, sometimes it's better not to ask where people found things] How much are you looking for?

Enough to cover five to start, as detailed here:

[Billy's specifications, incredibly exact, are attached.]

I can use some tricks to stretch the rest.

[exact specifications are most certainly appreciated]

If no one else has offered, I can try and find those supplies for you. I could use a reason to get out of the snow.

I'll be looking too. Thank you.
