Day 5 - Exploration 6

Team A - Squad 04

After those incidents we went back to the little routine, I won't deny that sometimes I didn't know what to think about Alejandro, he was a mystery to me and not that it made me uncomfortable but... being sometimes attentive to me left me in doubt, the after who he shot first was both at the same time, so there was no winner of who killed him.

After the Megalodon incident reports had come in from other countries that for some reason they all hunted alone, that all pointed to him sending us small groups, I won't deny that it made me uncomfortable, as he saw us as pests that he had to kill slowly, no doubt the fucker was a big son of a bitch.

We managed to explore beyond the safe zones and had gotten a dog groomer, we were lucky in part as the place was not in very bad shape, I let the other leaders know that we had gotten tags, collars and food for all kinds of animals, the detail was to see what we did with some sailors, we opted to call a marine biologist and follow his instructions, we got a grocery cart and placed all the sailors there.

With the red-eared sliders and the land turtles we had to see what we could do, we went back to the same thing, use the upstairs for the turtles, get a pool for the semi land turtles and take care of them, they were still too small to leave them a safe path.

The birds were trained to be messengers and to be able to give their freedom in parts, they would be neighbors of the reptiles, they had near them some plants and food for them, luckily we had several veterinarians, I made a report of each species and their count, with the help of an expert we counted the males and females of reptiles and birds, how would be the situation of them and the types of food that were there, how many bags and their species. After writing everything on the computer I printed it out and then turned it off and disconnected it to save energy, although we had obtained solar panels we should not abuse them and we should save more for emergencies.

I presented myself to the captains and gave them the report, after an hour answering their doubts and waiting for the Alphas, we were gathered again not only so they could verify the report but also because we had to look for a sub leader, due to what happened with the Megalodon some did not know what to do until they heard our instructions and that had made us delay.

According to Captain that could be controlled because it was one, but... What would have happened if apart from the Magalodon some T-Rexes arrived, we would not have been able to hold our meetings and give instructions to the team, and indeed he was right, we could not allow casualties and even less now with these emergencies thanks to a road nut.

We had to designate a Beta, so that he would not only be our support, but would know what to do in case of an emergency and while I just watched I opined as a question

Me: What if I have two candidates for that position? That is, I know who can be my right hand and my left hand.

All our superiors looked at each other and understood that many had very competent and prepared people for critical situations, due to my curious doubt they accepted that we choose them as well as the right and left hand and they themselves would demonstrate who could be the Beta.

In my case I had Isaías and Miguel, both were prepared and I knew how they could react to critical situations, when the Captain knew that I had chosen Miguel he asked me to recruit him in the tower, since now is when he would be needed in the wall, he was an expert marksman and knew the handling and operation of various weapons. With Isaiah I preferred to leave him the inventory of our supplies, he was the most orderly and apt for this, and the famous screamer that with me kept his margin was Helena, she was very scary but she was very good at looking for things.
