Kewl!
Okay, so you've split the story into a 2 part trilogy
.
We're at this point:
Rodney is setting up the town ?Little Falls? -- re-read at 1am.
Heather is running the Contact Operation
Folks all over will need help and certainly medical help.
Modern 'Stuff' is reaching the end of usefulness. Dry Rot and No more Gas.
Rod agrees to the contact.
Jack continues the 'Correct Plan' of contact and help.
More communites form trade routes.
They find college town with med students and older proffessor Med Doctors and Vets, they need to relocate because the engineering school's nuke reactor was left on and they can't make the parts to keep it working, it is slowly over heating. Hookey, but fun. University of Florida, Gainesville.
They meet up with ATHaggin
And he figures out how to shut down the reactor. his enitre family was healthy.
The communities start farming and apprentincing.
A comprehensive list of items is made, and barter continues grow.
more later.
Thanks.
