"Yeah. Someone knew that. They didn't want this planet to implode. Therefore... They killed the virus populating every inch of the surface." He whispers, rubbing his hand against another tree. "It... Allowed the Earth to return to what it once was. Green. And pure." He murmurs.

"Well... it certainly is recovering. But the damage done by over population and heavy taking of recourses is not something that can be fixed so quickly... or maybe at all."

"Maybe. Maybe not. Right now, we'll just have to rely on what we can harvest from the earth. Until we can find a more sustainable way of keeping ourselves alive. History must not be repeated." He says, looking at Hina.

"This is also true. There are sustainable ways of living, I have records of them, but they are far less grand than people were willing to settle for. Some would even call them poor."

"As long as we can get meat and veggies, I'm fine with it." He says with a shrug. "Mainly meat though. I hate vegetables..."

She taps her data base again "Then you will not like any of these sustainable living ideas when it comes to diet. However, energy should be an easy one to solve as I have schematics for solar panels and wind turbines."

"Gaaah. Thought so..." He grumbles, shaking his head "But I really like meat... And... Umm... Do you happen to have any schematics for making solar panels and wind turbines with wood? Because that's likely all we're going to get." He says, looking back at her.

She shakes her head "electronics are needed such as places to store the power and wires to carry it. We should be able to salvage that from the ruins in time."

"Ah. Right. The ruins. Maybe we can salvage stuff from the ruins. You're right." He murmurs, nodding his head. "What about the houses? Wood? Or mud? Bricks?"

"Hmm, we can set up some primitive things at first and work on upgrading later. Wood and bricks would be the most sturdy we can use."

"True. And... We'll need defenses. Like... Walls. Something to keep the ferals out." He says, getting more excited at the idea.

"Yeah. And then sharpen them at both ends. One end to dig it deeper into the ground, and the other to discourage people from climbing over." He says, nodding.

"Right. We'll still need heat to make good bricks. But that's all I know about brick making. We'll need someone who's experienced with construction." He says, rubbing his chin.

"Again, I know HOW they did it, but I lack the skill to do it properly. If we can get some sort of mason I can tell him the process and his skilled hands can make it happen."

"Right right. I hear ya. So first we have to collect people to help build our settlement. And then the workers will come." He says, smiling.

"WEll first we should set up basic things... wood houses with leaves for roofs or something? Just enough to keep the weather out."

"Yeah, something like that. We do need to make some sturdy houses that will protect against the elements. And maybe they should be able to fit like... Five, six people at a time." He says, looking at Hina.

"Perhaps, though that wold need a lot of room. I am unsure what is better... lots of people to one big house or lots of tiny houses for one or two."

"Hmm.... I think big houses would be better. Or maybe medium sized houses." He says with a shrug.

"Yeaaah I suppose so. What else should we worry about....? Oh! Plumbing! And... Streets... Nah. That can be paved dirt for now. We still need a forge for weapon crafting, though." He says.

"True. And we can't just... Dump our shit in the river. That's bad." He says, shaking his head. "Another thing to think on, I suppose..."

"Ah. Brain fart." He mutters, bonking his head. "I forgot. Guess I'm too distracted." He murmurs, chuckling and shaking his head. "Maybe I just... Saw the future of the settlement in my mind's eye and thought we were walking down a street." He says, grinning at them.

Chasey laughs at taht and shakes her head "Nice excuse for zoning out... minds eye, what a crock!"
