@stephen.strange
Our most recent foray into sudden disaster has highlighted a great many things, but there are a couple in particular I'd like to address:
1. Medically speaking, we're understaffed
2. As a group, we're not aware of or making the best of our collective pool of resources.
We were quick to respond, and it's frankly astonishing what we were able to achieve given the immediacy and scope of the problem, but it's perfectly clear that we're not going to be living a quiet life. We need to make sure, before the next thing comes, that we're going to be able to build on the systems we created this time around. And if we're to have the capacity to respond to a mass need for medical attention without as much Morningstar presence going forward, we're going to need more hands on deck. Once that's done, anything smaller scale will be easy to account for.
So, a few things.
Firstly, I'd like to offer at least basic first aid training to anyone who'd like to accept it.
Secondly, I'd like to know who among us are already medically trained and to what degree. (This absolutely includes those with self-taught, functional knowledge, though I'll recommend you still accept the training for a wider breadth of understanding and to gain experience with the medical resources available here in the city.)
Thirdly, a show of hands for anyone among that number happy to take on a training role.
Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to anyone who dealt with injury in the field, the safehouses and general care afterwards, or anyone who helped move equipment or medics and the injured throughout the city - and especially to @clarke.griffin, without whom we wouldn't have had a working plan even half as quickly or the availability of equipment out in the field that we did. It all made a difference.

[ so that he...... has somewhere to sleep wow
though he's also happy to do it. theoretically. being live-in at the new safehouse might not be the ideal situation, but it makes sense logistically. ]

[ fitz is pretty liquid, what with all the sketchy gang income. ]
It'll be good to have you on front of house, ultimately.
But the revolution will need a source of income long-term.
[ credits, supplies, resources. ]

[
and so the daddy becomes the daddied— good of him. and a safety net never hurt anybody. ]Markus is planning on bringing this to discussion on the network soon, but the locations we’ve been offered all present us with an opportunity to open a business. Great as both a front and towards a long term goal of keeping the safe house self-sustaining, but the start-up costs may be beyond Morningstar’s generosity.
We’re all going to need to chip in best we can, but if we can get profitable that’ll ease things along.

Although someone's name will need to go on the paperwork. Even if there isn't a lease, there'll be licensing, invoices, a paytrail.
Preferably two someones, actually, in the event that one person goes missing or dies.
Are you both volunteering for that?
[ zero chill. ]

I can't speak for Markus, but sure, why not. Can't think of anything better to follow neurosurgeon and sorcerer on a resume than proprietor of New Starbucks.
IM CRYING
[ 😇 ]
I'll look forward to the public debate then.
