I took my girlfriend. She wasn’t my first choice, but she fits the suit like the others don’t. Also, she seems to be a good shot. We loaded her up, gave her a rifle and dropped off a large supply of medical equipment. I showed some of the people how to ration off the tools and told them that we would come back.

We headed out about midday, she seemed very glad to be out of the shelter. We drove for most of the talking about what happened for both of us. Nothing much is going on in the shelter, but the lack of resources and poor facility seems to have taken a toll. We really need to hurry.

We have a new objective: Get to West Point and procurr enough environment suits and transport vehicles to evacuate the Hockessin Shelter.

We’ve stopped at New Hope and are planning on staying the night. The village has found a new leader already and they are most accommodating.

We have a good supply of water and we left New Hope early, we want to go as fast as possible.
