It seems I have neglected my use of this network over the past few weeks; There's quite a bit to explore in this city, and even more to learn in the institution's library. However, danger is imminent, and I realize that my skills may be put to better use if applied to the defense of the city

There is a large, expansive aquifer that we access to for our water and have a system of wells, aqueducts, and our own water treatment. As for the food, we it is imported from other cities and states. Our location this deep in the desert does make local agriculture a little difficult, but as far as I am aware, we are well stocked for both.

[He doesn't speak up yet, but hi, you're the one in charge, aren't you? Hideyoshi will now listen in, and since he is a nice guy he will switch on his own video function to let you know he's doing so.]

[why yes, yes he is. and he notices that someone else is listening, but there's only a brief glance to indicate it.]

Understandable. If your institution would be amenable to it, however, I would like to propose a plan to ensure the city is self-sufficient, should the enemy choose to use that vulnerability to attack us. The city has all natural resources necessary to sustain desert agriculture.

What is your idea?

I'd like to attempt to grow crops within the city limits. Perhaps even teach the residents how to grow and tend their own gardens.

Do you think the ground would actually be fertile enough to sustain them?

[it's not that they haven't tried before, but well. desert.]
