Hello, Survivors!
Thanks to the efforts of Ray (who writes for Alonzo Blazevic), we have a new and improved manifest that better fits the needs of our particular sim.
We're organized by families and those who are single are listed under 'The Unattached'. If your situation changes and you become part of someone's family, then we'll switch you around.
Suffixes:
========
Military designations are no longer going to be shown on the manifest and you'll see that they've been removed for you -- we're doing that for two reasons. One, it's no longer a part of our reality and two,…

Congratulations, Survivors!
We started our first episode, Bangor or Bust, Saturday, 15 April 2023. Tomorrow, nearly a year later, we will finally finish it. For those who like stats, we have, as a group, written 332 posts for this episode, 34 of them in the past month. And now, nearly a year later, its time to move on. There will be a short post tomorrow explaining what happens to the safe zone and after that, Bangor or Bust will be closed for posting and we'll be moving into the new episode (I'm thinking about "Winter is Coming" as a title).…

Hello, Survivors,
Been having a couple days of good weather here, sort of like the first promise of Spring, and its been lovely. Also, Watson, my cat, discovered Cat TV (its a YouTube channel) and he loves it. For a cat who absolutely refuses to go anywhere near the outside world, he's been mighty brave swatting at those birds.
Sim Statistics
No changes in the number of writers this month so we're still holding at eight. We are losing a couple of NPCs though -- Courtney, Jordan, Father Dominic I believe. Not sure about Bao (been quiet since the delivery)…

Hello, Survivors,
Okay, its been an embarrassingly long time since I've done this so, let me start by offering my profound apologies. Had a bit of a Star Trek sim burnout going on and a lot of things fell by the wayside. Things are better now and I'm totally back.
Sim Statistics
We added two survivors, Stephen Wolff and Reuben Baptiste. That brought us up to nine writers. Course, Stephen dropped out again so we have added one new writer -- which means two service dogs and three military personnel. The world has never seemed safer, eh?
You know, we…

Mission: Safe Harbor

The air was cold enough that breath showed. Fog clung low over the water, muffling sound and swallowing distance. Five boats rode it now, shapes half-lost to mist, each one chosen for a reason, each one already settling lower as the morning crept in.
Closest to the main pier loomed the yacht, wide-beamed and steady, decks cleared, lines checked, engines quiet but ready. She would take what couldn’t be replaced — food, medical supplies, fuel, electronics, people. Slow, but dependable.
Further down the dock waited Nowhere, Briar and Rowan’s small half-cabin fishing boat. Light. Shallow draft. Quiet. The kind of…

Mission: Winter's hope
Posted on Wed Apr 8th, 2026 @ 11:13am by New York Survivor Amythyst
Amy stopped thinking of it as their stuff halfway through the first room.
Once she did that, it got easier.
She stood in the hallway with the marker uncapped, listening to the scrape of cardboard and the soft thud of lids sealing shut. Every box was labeled. Every label meant a decision had already been made — what stayed, what moved, what could be abandoned if something went wrong.
The pile of thick plastic bags beside the wall helped.
She’d brought them with her when she came to the island weeks ago — supplies she’d thought might matter someday.

Amy stood on the chair by the table so they could all see her.
The house wasn’t properly lit — just the lantern, turned low. Shadows clung to the walls. Outside, the wind had dropped, and in its place was something worse— Stillness. Around her, sleepy children — woken by whispers, by footsteps, by the shift in the air — rubbed their eyes and clutched blankets.
No one spoke. They’d seen her face. Amy didn’t shout. She didn’t need to. The quiet came fast. Her hands were clasped together, knuckles pale, but her voice — when it came — was…

Amy waited until the younger children were asleep. It was two days since Fort Mason. She gathered the four other older children in the kitchen.
She poured cups of tea and sat down at the table where they all ate.
George took the mug of warm tea with a nod and a soft smile. "Thsnks," he said gently. After looking at the rest of the group, he turned his attention back to Amythyst. "What did you want to talk about?"
Dodger took a sip of the tea and then placed it to one side waiting to hear what Amy had…

The people of the Homestead had welcomed her with a certain level of caution and schepticism. The part that really upset her was that they had taken her weapons and hadn’t given them back yet. Harper ingested the antibiotics they had offered her after insisting on reading the label herself and analyzing the pills as if she was a pharmacist herself. They had checked out.
She lowered herself into the hot bath in the lovely rustic bathroom, feeling the first warmth and comfort she had experienced since she had left the stadium over a week before. She let the soothing…

Evening
I’m writing this by flashlight, tucked up in the attic room of the farmhouse, where the roof creaks when the wind shifts. The others are asleep — or pretending to be. I think Patrick is still whispering with Andrew, but I don’t have the energy to check. My back hurts, my knees are sore, and I smell like cow. Which, weirdly, isn’t the worst thing anymore. I will grab a shower soon.
We found cattle today. Actual, real, living cows. In the woods.
Three of them — two big and one calf, all half-wild but not dangerous. They were…

**Journal Entry – September 30th, 2010**
*Location: Homestead Kitchen, Late Evening*
*Writer: Serena Reynolds, M.D.*

The sun has set, and the quiet is settling into the walls — or as quiet as it ever gets with this many people under one roof. The fire in the hearth is down to glowing coals. Dinner’s been cleaned up. Most of us are asleep, and the rest are pretending to be. I should be too. But sleep feels like a fragile thing lately. Like if I let myself slip too deep, I might miss something vital.
We had our first full…

Definitely official, even if Sandwich will not admit it. He has an attachment for Thea. At the evening meal and campfire meeting I caught him dividing his plate in half and giving Thea the the half he separated. He then ate half of his portion and feed Kenny the other half. I plan to say something to him, I'll offer to feed Kenny half my food share if he insist on giving Thea half of his food share. I am amazed how he treats Thea, almost like our mother, or us girls. He also seems…

Reuben talked with Catalina when she had joined with him in helping the group. During the stops for the evening on the way to Hale's property Catalina filled him in on how the ranch and family were doing. Apparently their father was quick to realize the situation and started the process of fortifying the ranch, He had the hands bring the cattle in closer for the rest of the year and would decide in mid spring what to do about how to safely graze them. He and the hands also began working on the barb wire around the ranch.

Well found Sandwich, he deviated from his emergency escape route and hookup with a group of survivors. Not sure about the group but they appear to be decent folks. The leader, Hale Stratton, is very similar to Sandwich; dark, brooding and all military. I suspect there is more under the man other than being a Major in the Rangers. I cannot quite sure what it is yet; but never mind that. Sandwich has decided to continue travelling with the group, so I am tagging along as well. He states he will decide what to do…
