factory line. She could not drive. She was fit and well. She raised livestock with her family before coming to the UK. Ana was temporarily assigned to the basecamp, with a view to her tending their new livestock very soon. The rules of this were simple; keep the animals alive.
Lexi was a deputy manager at Primark. She had a Higher National Diploma in Business Studies. She could drive. She was healthy. She had kept fit by learning Ju-Jitsu every week, and had even competed a few times. She was a former Army Cadet with experience of firearms and went running regularly. Dan agreed to assess her firearms skills, so Lexi was assigned to Ops as a potential Ranger as per her wishes.
Ian had come round significantly from yesterday. He could drive pretty much anything on wheels. He also knew a lot about solar panels, as he worked for a company which distributed them.
“It’s amazing how much you pick up about stuff when you’re waiting three hours to unload it.” He joked.
Neil snapped Ian up straight away; lorry driver who could get them hot water and electricity from solar panels in the long run? He was assigned to engineering effective immediately.
Adam was a tiler and knew a lot about plumbing too. He drove a large van most days. He was a bit of a fitness fanatic. Jimmy took him as driver for a second scavenging team with Kyle. He promised him training on using the master keys.
Jay was taken by Penny to be ‘ma about the house’. He was qualified to use a chainsaw and Dan thought that he was either going to end up as an enormous lumberjack, or he would have to find a log splitting machine.
Liam was a sullen youth, constantly moaning at the lack of electricity. Fact was, they had generators and could power televisions and the like. Nobody seemed to want to though, and there seemed no point in using up a limited supply resource just to keep Liam happy. He was hard work. He was nearing his final GCSE’s and would never actually finish high school now.
Liam wanted to be anything which had a gun, so Dan objected to him on principle.
“It’s a burden. A heavy one; not a toy” he warned, but he could tell he was trying to lecture someone who had grown up playing call of duty and probably thought he could shoot. Takes more than your thumbs, kid, he thought.
Liam was allocated to be under Andrew’s care, as the newly appointed head of supplies. Liam would have to learn to take stock inventory.
When they had finished, Penny recapped and produced her notes to the others:
Operations
1 st Ranger - Dan
Ranger (proposed, requires assessment & training) Lexi
Engineering
Neil (Head), Ian
Cedric – vehicle & fuel recovery
Logistics
James (Head) & Kevin – team 1
Adam & Kyle – team 2
Agriculture/Horticulture
Ana – livestock maintenance
Maggie – vegetable grower
Medical
Kate (Head)
Catering
NEED A COOK! (Penny in the interim)
Supplies/Inventory
Andrew (Head), Liam as apprentice.
The new heads of department looked over her notes. Dan noticed she had put herself in as the temporary cook, however it was very clear that she was the head of the group in most ways. They discussed whether they should wait where they are for a few more days or start clearing the prison as soon as possible. Dan pointed out that the sooner they moved the bodies, the easier and better. Kate seconded him, as a paramedic she would have seen the results of bodies in various states of decay.
Dan claimed ownership of Ops, Engineering and Logistics to clear the buildings. Penny agreed to follow with the caravans and supplies and everyone else to set up their new home the next day, she just wanted more time to load supplies. The only objection to this was that Kate offered to help with the clearance. Nobody argued against that. They parted, agreeing to take the rest of the day off and tell everyone that evening.
MAD MAX
That afternoon, Dan took Lexi out a few miles away to discuss her training and sight their guns. She had
