Anybody else want to report missing persons?

Permalink

A couple people say they knew people who might be taken soon when they got brought in.

Permalink

And can they help Cam find these people?

Permalink
Yep. They lead into the town and-

Oh look, an angry mob. They're not the masters, and it's not really clear what they're angry at. They are currently assaulting a bakery.
Permalink

They can go to sleep too. The bakery probably never did them any harm.

Permalink

None of the maybe-slaves have been enslaved. They all follow back to where everyone else is when told they can leave, though.

Permalink

All right, is that everybody? All aboard who's going aboard?

Permalink

Some of the freed slaves have retrieved family members in the meantime. This island is getting really crowded. but yeah, that's everyone.

Permalink

All right! Here is a nice big passenger atmospheric shuttle. Everybody on.

Permalink

Some of them are reluctant to go on the scary lost technology ship, but are eventually convinced.

Permalink

And Cam flies in the direction of away, finds a nice equatorial location, and makes them a nice big island cluster neatly webbed together with houses and storefronts and anything else they think to request and a pretty fountain on top and a generator and a computerful library and a stock of food and farms in progress and will that do?

Permalink
...Quite nicely, yes.

(A few small groups want ships, not to participate in this new town. Can they have them or will they have to build 'em?)
Permalink

Cam will distribute ships. It sort of breaks his heart to do the local kind and he snazzes them up some but this is what they know how to drive.

Permalink
Yay. The celebration is sort of subdued. A lot of these people are traumatized.

Some of them could use medical care, and none of them were doctors and only one was even a nurse.
Permalink

Cam provides immediate demonic medical care, gives them a stockpile of painkillers with dosage limits in large letters, adds the easiest-to-use standards of other things and puts instructions on those in large letters, and looks for someone who wants homework.

Permalink

The guy who was a nurse is happy to receive homework, and even happier to receive his new foot.

Permalink

Here, have lots of homework and a locked box with more complicated medical supplies!

Permalink
He promises to accept this responsibility with all the seriousness it deserves.

Thank you, Cam. Thank you so much.
Permalink
You are all so welcome!

Anything else?
Permalink

They can't agree on a weight limit yet. They're trying to hash out the new government, so it'll take a while if he waits for them to figure it out.

Permalink

Well, they're riding pretty high in the sky right now. He loads them up on tradeable assorted metal ingots so they can get ahold of anything else they need from passing ships and bids them goodbye.

Permalink

The next daily report on the new gate comes in. Things are proceeding slightly ahead of schedule.

Permalink
Hooray!

...Town?
Permalink

The next town is another monarchy. It's much less idyllic than the first one he found, but not outright terrible. More 'inefficient bureaucracy and high taxes' than 'slaves and frequent capital punishment'.

Permalink
Well, that's disappointing. Cam is not at all sure he wishes to incentivize this with presents; the weight limit issue means he can't just drop post-scarcity on them and make it all irrelevant.

He will go find another town.
