( 006; video - public announcement about the pantry and galley ) ♔ ( haven's hub )

[pendragon]

[ What a strange week. Vandal and Wing have come up missing, and this is not too long after Sissel's disappearance. Luckily, Saber has had reason to be busy and to not think upon the disappearances. It's stopped her from becoming too disheartened. The knight definitely wants to carry out the plans Wing and her had established and do her part well. ]

It's been a long time in the making. Thanks to McCrane and his construction team, I am able to announce that the storehouse - part of Haven's Hub - is open.

The storehouse is a separate building from the main Hub, and has two sections within it. I will be overseeing the entire storehouse under Blurr's guidance.

The Pantry is for storage of anything an organic may need. All of the items that have accumulated in the Hub over time are now in the Pantry. Cybertronians may be interested, too. We have many building and construction supplies that would not be exclusive to organic use. In fact, some items seem they may be only useful for Cybertronians.

Kay, who has helped me make thorough records of everything the Pantry currently has throughout the past few days, will be the one who runs the front desk. The front desk is located on the outside of the building for easy access. At this front desk, there is a drop off slot for donations. And when Kay makes her available hours public, people will be able to make requests or barter.

The Pantry will be running on the honor system. If you need something, you may take it. If you have something to donate, please do so. We will be keeping records of all transactions, and if there is reason to believe someone may be abusing the system.. their ability to withdraw items may be put on hold.

This brings us to our other section..

The Galley is an organic cafeteria and kitchen. It will be self-serve for now. The Galley will be handled by Don. Supplies from the Pantry will be delivered to the Galley weekly so that there is an adequate amount of cooking supplies at the ready. If a team is organized, there may be foods pre-prepared for consumption. If you are interested in helping with the Galley or learning about it, please contact Don for further information.

Currently, I am looking for someone who is experienced with security and security systems. Their primary duties would be to ensure the security systems are operational throughout the entire storehouse, and to do checks of the inventory lists and transaction lists occasionally. This would ensure everything is accurate and there is no favoritism. ..It's not a requirement, but, [ Saber starts speaking as if a bit embarrassed, the first time she's emoted throughout this announcement. ] it'd be preferable if someone taller would fill this position as to help Kay and I move around larger containers and supplies.

That will be it for now. Please contact me should you have any questions about the Pantry and storehouse, and contact Don should you be interested in the Galley.

[ This chunk of the log is locked to Kay only. ] Feel free to establish your available hours whenever you are ready, Kay. Also, please tell me if you have any additional questions or concerns.

I do recommend you considering taking one of the dormitories in Haven's Hub for yourself for convenience, if you have not already.

[ And this is locked to Don only. ] Your key card is ready and waiting at the Hub, whenever you can meet me. This key card locks supply cabinets and other such compartments. I will be delivering supplies to the Galley personally on a weekly basis, so please provide me an itemized list of any requests as they're needed. I'm looking forward to see how the Galley goes. And please let me know if you have any concerns or ideas. If you have your own plans you wish to act on, simply let me know of them before you start.

[Private to Saber]

[doctordon]

Got it! I'll check it out and send up the list. I can put together cooking lessons for anyone who wants them. I'm pretty excited!

[pendragon]

Cooking lessons? Yes, I approve of this. I will consider attending once routines have been established and things are more calm.

[ Saber is assuming there'll be some confusion with the first few weeks of things, but after that.. ]

[inbox message, voice]

[doctordon]

[Anyone who wants to get in touch with Don about the Galley can do so here!]

Hey, if you have questions about the Galley or food or anything, feel free to get in touch! Thanks!

[deadlydoctor]

[DID SOMEONE SAY FREE SUPPLIES?]

Honor system. Like communism, that's nice in theory. [He knows a bit of earth's history from movies, yep.] But did you forget that there's bots here who'll try to take advantage of that even if you use keep record?

[pendragon]

If they do try to take advantage, then they simply are unable to receive anymore items. People can only receive items through Kay, when she's at the front desk. We do have cameras and security. [ Saber sighs gently. ] I am much aware that people can be dishonest, but.. we can't allow those who would be an annoyance to ruin this for everyone.

[namesnotprowl]

Afraid dishonor is the name of the game f'r some mechs; I hope you've at least got cameras up in there.

[This is probably the only time he'll ever advocate surveillance. He is not the biggest fan of being watched anymore; it makes him way too neurotic.]

Mm, you know, I never did properly thank you for helping me out when I was... fuzzy. Unless you count flopping on you and purring as thanks.

[pendragon]

We do have cameras, and a very nice security system. That's why I would like someone who is knowledgeable to ensure the systems work correctly and optimally.

[ Oh. Saber is slightly caught off guard by the mentioning of the kitten situation. ] It was.. nothing, really. I appreciate your thanks, but you are truly welcome and it was no bother. It was.. hm.. it was pleasant, for me, as well. [ Saber and animals. It's a thing. ]

[originaldragoon]

It certainly sounds like a good system. Is there anything I could do to help?

[pendragon]

Are you handy with security systems and cameras..? [ Saber tilted her head. There was really only that position available for the Pantry. They could only have so many people with access, after all. But, there was the Galley that Saber could recommend to if Rose said no. After all, why turn down an earnest volunteer? ]

[notyourblueangel]

Where's Wing?

[Since the whole Hub business was kind of his thing, and Wing's, well, not been around much. Or . . . at all, really. Not that the Decepticon's concerned or anything.]

[pendragon]

... [ Have a momentarily disgrunted looking Saber, Thundercracker. ] I don't know.

[Video]

[happyduckbutt]

I'll be glad to offer any eggs for the Pantry- well, once we get a batch of the eating-kind.

i assume by now that saber has helped him with the coop separation?

[pendragon]

Thank you, Ventus. How does our newer construction fare?

[ It had taken them several days, but they finally got the coop split into two and into two, somewhat sturdy buildings. ]

[Private] SORRY THIS IS SO LATE

[littlecrowgirl]

No problemo! I mean, wow, a real sidejob! It's a shame I don't really get paid for it, but I wonder if you can put 'managed a pantry on a giant robot planet' on your resume for being a Great Thief!

Do you need anything else from me?

( video & private forever ) no problem!

[pendragon]

[ Although she tries to hide it, Saber's eyes.. do indeed grow a bit large at the mentioning of "Great Thief." This was what Knock Out had mentioned, was it not? Saber.. is unsure whether or not to truly believe it's something to be worried about, considering how she views Kay as a good person and how easily she mentions this "Great Thief" thing.. but, it'd be best if the knight asked. ]

No, please make sure to check in with me once a week. I'm sure I will see you more than that, but you never know. [ There's a hesitant pause. ]

Would you, ah.. explain this .. "Great Thief" thing to me?

[catwoman]

Sounds like you guys were pretty busy, girly girl.

( video )

[pendragon]

Yes, the majority of the work was in the past few days. It's been a long time in planning, however. [ A nod. ]

[Video]

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Hey just get me some gin and french fries and I'm good!

[pendragon]

... [ Saber peers at the screen. Is he being serious? And then she thinks and her expression softens. ] We do have the Hub open for drinks. ..I never thought about it, but maybe someone could volunteer to cook there..?

[Video]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Security? Did some of that for a few centuries. Easiest job I had yet.

[Only reason he responds to this is a, he has a little respect for the kid he tied with and b, she's not as synthetic as the rest of the planet.]

[pendragon]

Ah, Wrex. You were also recommended by Knock Out. Would you be interested in the job, then? You wouldn't have set hours, but you would need to come in at least every other day to check security systems. And as mentioned, there would be a mandatory monthly check of the inventory and lists to keep Kay and myself on our toes. [ A slight tilt of her head. ] And.. we may ask you the odd time to help with moving around supplies.

[ Unlike some of the other options, Saber knows Wrex can certainly hold his own due to experience. And perhaps it does make sense for an organic to be in the Pantry instead of a Cybertronian. ]

[dirge]

[A place where all the organic food is stored? Dirge is very interested in this message.]

Oh, let me do it! I'm good at inventory lists. And I'm very tall too.

( video )

[pendragon]

[ Hm, there's no entry on her communication device for this fellow. ] May I ask of your name? I don't think we've spoken before.

[video]

[adamndoctor]

Wonderful job, kid. I'll do what I can to help out when I'm not busy with work. Which isn't often, given the lack of humans here.

[pendragon]

Ah, thank you, McCoy. [ A gentle smile in return to that compliment. ] We have no positions currently open in the Pantry until we have tested the waters, but perhaps you have interest in the Galley, then..? Unless you simply want to donate. That's always appreciated, too.

[ Even if that means more items to fit and list in the inventory.. ]
