Good week.

We’ve pulled in some mighty fine recruits last few days. Jade and Alex, good kids about 19 and 21. Alex is a local and Jade is from Georgia. Both smart, capable. They lack a bit in people skills but I see improvement and they are team players. They seem to be getting along REALLY well. Alex has voiced a wish to be a leader within the crew. I will be watching him closely but I feel he will be able to fill a leadership role nicely when the time comes. We’ll conduct a scav run and he will lead it so I can evaluate it. We finally got Rielle back home. She had been away for a few days on a recon job looking for a back up site in case Arklay went FUBAR. She came back a exhausted and dehydrated but we fixed it by shaking her awake. She’s resting in the Main Room. Mack and Holly are on top of their prospective shit as always. Both are great at taking initiative and bring in recruits and supplies. Mack supplied us with radios and flashlights while Holly supplies us with whatever she can find and intel on Howlie movements and anything she learns. We recruited a nurse named Lucey whom is a qualified nurse. We’re making good progress. Soon we will be constructing crossbow bolts to be divided to the person with Crossbows. I feel we’re going to need the firepower however limited against the ever present threat of the Howlies.
