Mr. Saeba... I think that's what he wanted to build, but he's... gone now.

...

Maybe we should get back to work on those.

T-That sounds like a good idea...

[perfektsymmetry]

I still have some of the scrap metal I collected in our garage. I uh... I can try to start on my own basement.

[Not that he has any idea how.]

[bawlingforsoup]

M-Make sure there's a couple inches surrounding you. I-I don't know how advanced A-American shelters were compared t-to some other countries l-like mine, b-but... I-Is better to be safe than sorry.

Oh, really? I... I never got a copy of the plans from Mr. Saeba I'm afraid.... ah, so any other tips you might have, I'd appreciate it. I, uh, don't really have much to go on.
