Rescue Network
“Anything new?” Shelby asked Lucy.
“Nothing much.” she said “I’m still monitoring rescue dragons. There are less of them now than there was, but there are less people. Those waves were nightmares. They killed a lot of people. The dragons are flying a search pattern looking for any survivors. When we find any we give them a dragon’s tear and a drone and as much assistance as they will accept. It’s up to them after that. Most have decided to join us as best they can.”
“You might caution them about Sea Monsters. Instruct them to conjure an OmniSuit and upgrade it as job one. Give them as much SSmoke as possible and tell them to use their Avatar to make SSmoke when they can and then as soon as possible to conjure a kinship.” Shelby said. “An unprotected individual wouldn’t stand a chance against a gator or a shark much less a Bojum and there’s no telling what other kinds of Snarks are out there . Remind everyone that there are bad things in the water now, Stranger Danger Everywhere. ”

“MY GOD!” Alvin said “It’s a Zukkini/Okra invasion!”
“Heh.” Julie said “the other stuff will be just as good shortly. We better get to picking. You have no clue about the productivity of peanuts or potatoes do you?”
Alvin hadn’t. He had been a gear head when growing up. They set to picking. They filled all their storage bins and built more bins and filled them too. They dug a root cellar and filled it with potatoes. Then Alvin built a still for the potato surplus.The bounty continued.
“Ok” Julie was wiping sweat off her forehead. Alvin thought she looked sexy as hell in that damp Tee shirt. “Time for plan B.”
perk? Alvin twitched.
Julie Grinned. “Down boy. That’s not what I had in mind. Let’s see if I can figure out how to send a text.”
She did.

“Goober Peas?” he asked her.
“It’s a country western thing.” she replied.
“I like em both” he said
“Both what?” she asked
“Both Country AND Western” he replied. That got him slapped (lightly) . She liked music and he was tone deaf.
“Now we wait” She started to say “But not for long. There’s the first one.”
