Okay, first of all: How?
Second of all: Don't want to attract anything with the noise.
Third of all: Don't want to attack anybody that is potentially friendly.

Day 32 / Monday, September 24th, 2017



Somehow, this room seems even smaller when properly lit.

It's really pouring out there. You can really smell the rain through the vents. Speaking of the vents, you've identified an, uh... problem. The generator makes smoke.

Yeah, yeah. Look, you had a lot on your head, okay? You sort of glossed over the fact that generator makes smoke.

Currently, the vents are good enough to handle it, though you don't wanna find out for how long. You need a better solution.

In other news, you might have some trouble digging down too, given that you'd have to carry the dirt outside...


As for a tally of the supplies currently on hand:

- some tools, like a drill, a shovel, etc
- some miscellaneous cables
- canned foods, with a few perishables in the mini fridge
- a glock, with some ammo
- a portable generator, with a week or two worth of fuel
- a pair of gasmasks with a stock of filters and a portable air tank for emergencies
- some pipes, bars, metal wire, scotch tape, etc: the workshop basics
- some spare light bulbs and other components for the air system and various
- a decent bed with a thick blanket and a comfy pillow. it gets surprisingly cold down here at night.
- a laptop. nothing to run crysis 3 on or anything but it's still good
- a smartphone, with some headphones which you can use as an antenna (no, really, look it up) to listen to radio

Speaking of which, you've checked on the radio. It looks like you made the right choice. Most of the states are in quarantine, as uneffective as that is. The infection is also slowly spreading towards Michigan. You expect it'll be here pretty soon. Guess the initial estimates were a bit high, huh?

Try and come up with a way to exhaust the smoke through the vents, if only we could go outside and make a new vent to exhaust the smoke

Yeah... BUT SHOOTY THINGS. Inside the bunker possibly ?
Also make another vent.

Literally all 3 of those still apply.
Especially the first one: How?

(updated above post with some extra info)

if we open up the bunker to air from the surface so we can remove the smoke, wouldn't that mean the infection could leak in?

Also smoke plumes make a really good beacon for raiders. I'd suggest finding a way to let in natural light, but...

Solution A: make the exhaust pipe exit somewhere else and for the time being just let your eyes adjust.

Solution B: Use alternative methods of generating power, like the exercise bike and leave the generator alone.

Solution C: Just put the generator in the entrance and run an extension cord.

Obvious flaws with all, but these are possibilities.


Okay, so maybe that wasn't so hard of a fix.


Day 33 / Tuesday, September 25th, 2017



This'll work alright. At least, for a while.
You're getting ready to make your first trip outside tomorrow. You've readied your gas mask and filters, etc. You're planning to get some more food and supplies.

Go the forget to bed so you'll have energy. When you wake up, look for high-calorie foods. You're going to need carbs to do stuff on days with a lot of activity planned, look for pasta that isn't disgusting to eat without sauce, bread, and fatty meat- if there's any left.

Uhh theres a problem with your Laptop YOU NEED WIFI

Go to sleep. Find anything that can resemble a weapon for your trek tomorrow.
