Random plot post
Not so much a plot as an attempt to flesh out what we've been given: Supply storage and logistics. It doesn't seem like there's much inventory to manage yet, if everything comes down in the supply drop and is assigned by rover? So questions:
- Is there a cache of supplies held and managed on the ground? If so, do the outposts have their own caches as well? Which would be supplied from the central one?
- Inventorywise, everything is electronically tagged, right? So it can all be automated? There must be room for error checking, damage checking, things like that though - especially after attacks. Are there any smaller supplies which aren't tagged and must be individually counted off?
Possible supply things:
- Those supplies for the medtent that were mentioned. They must go through a lot, which would need tracking and replenishing and couldn't be held in the medtent.
- Is there an onsite armoury? Presumably either Green would run this, or Blue would stock it and Green would manage it?
- What about all those science samples the mapping teams brought back? Is there a lab tent somewhere? Is there a science division? Presumably Orange are managing this?
- It's been suggested that Red should have a black market for e.g. poisons, but I would not know anything about that. /halo
The other thing that comes to mind: some sort of post office setup. Primarily for things like IC rewards and shopping channel packages; they could all be sent down to a central point that characters would have to collect from. But there's no reason people couldn't drop off packages for collection as well.
