Blackout, blackout!
Who: The residents of Cape Kore
Where: The center of town, near the ruined fountain
When: Day 100
What: Stane gathered some supplies for a community fire. Consider this a party-style post reacting to the lack of power and the loss of the communicators.
After the power goes out, Stane spends a few minutes standing stock still in the room, holding his breath and waiting for it to come back, but he doesn't waste too much time lingering in that kind of hopefulness. People are going to need things; they're going to need fire to cook and boil water, and they're going to need to do something about the food that's going to spoil.
It's so important that he helps them. It's so important that he helps them stay alive. Maybe the dream sharing is getting to him, maybe it's made his nightmares... feel real, but...
They're going to survive this. He's determined.
He gathers some wood that can be used for firewood and kindling, and he leaves them in the center of the town; he has no way of announcing that the things are there, really, but he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts a general Go to the fountain! Maybe someone will hear him.

Oh. [ Ned's perceptive enough to hear how short that first reply is and realize perhaps he ought to ask about a different, less potentially-fraught topic than family. But when Samandriel says that they are here, Ned can't help but look surprised. He hadn't realized people showed up here along with family members. Sure, there are people who know one another - Charlie and Meyer, Charles and Erik, and others - but not family members, as often ]
Who? [ It might be a rude question, and he knows it, but it's going to bother him if he doesn't know, if he wanders around meeting people wondering if they might be related to him. Hell, maybe some of them are people he already knows. The question about his own family is not unexpected; that's how conversation works, and he has a reply ready. Shaking his head, he answers: ] No and no, I'm afraid. [ No one back home, and no one brought here. He cuts off Samandriel's potential pity in advance, says: ] But I've been here long enough that... there are some people here who are as good as family, to me.
