Bay 12 Games Forum

Organize into nine groups of 500 adults each. Have each group divide into ten teams. Have each team divide into five, um...subteams.
One group scouts the area for anything of note, and gathers samples of local plant species for testing.
Three groups will attempt to pool their knowledge of agriculture and the info in the computers to figure out how to make farms. These groups will be given 75 robots each.
Everyone else will work on setting stuff up. Each group will be given 35 robots to help them.

The 4,000 technicians are contained within the 5,000 total population, not separate from it. Just FYI.

Ironhide mutters to the other members of the pack. "We got a meal, that's all we needed from those Snatchers. We gain little and risk all if we oppose the Great One."

Step back. Try to bring any little ones foolish enough to approach back with me. Hope the Great One heads out after finishing its meal.

It has. In another system.

Wait, huh?
Where does it say that?

Communication is always good. Talk to her and go from there.

Possess them, of course.

Don't you love problems?

the park is a mere 1.5 miles from the airport, well within
near-miss plus blast-radius for many explosives.

If whomever is attacking is so incompetant that they can't get their bombs to within 1.5 miles of a 469 acre target...I don't think we need to worry.

but my plan is simple

Your plan is suicidal: "turn left at the bridge over the river"



That bridge is the most obvious target within 50 miles.

If we don't want to go to the park, at least get indoors. Find a nice concrete parking garage or something. Something with zero tactical value. Turn on the radio, check twitter, get more information. Odds are good that half the population of the city is frantically trying to get out. We do not want to get stuck on a freeway jammed by traffic with thousands of other people on foot because the road two miles ahead of us got bombed.

My plan is "get away from the city, stat!" I didn't notice the river when I first suggested the route, and have mostly been rolling with my plan since.
I said "miss+radius." Depending on the bomb, it's easy enough to see the park being close enough to the blast to be...inconvenient, at the very least. Possibly deadly.
Finally, indoors doesn't protect from bombs. If they're trying to destroy the whole city (and everyone's assumption that they'll go for the civilian airport certainly suggests some level of this agenda), we're screwed if we don't get out.

Also,

The roads are mostly clear

(The insert quote function wasn't working.)
This indicates that if we move fast, traffic won't be an issue.
