That Thing About Computers
Chapter Two: The Continuation of My Day
Week 1 Day 1 (Cont)
The bunker that I'm located in is small with a decontamination area for a shower and toilet and the sink inside the main unit which has a kitchen area, fridge and stove. I decided to loot an appliance store to get the best fridge and stove (thank goodness for me being the last sim on earth there...as legal ramifications would have happened if I had tried to do that before the bombs had fallen) because the last thing I needed when I was learning to cook was something being set on fire; not a good thing when you're underground. Rapidly being starved of oxygen and getting toasted is not a good way to go.

When my bed got put in there, I realized that it was an extremely tight fit.

I also picked up a potion table and a science station as the science center had been blown to smithereens. Evidently it was on the target list and the one megaton blast had damaged the facility enough that it had collapsed, killing all the scientists inside. And frankly the science station would save my life since I wasn't able to go above ground between 9AM and 5PM when the UV rays were intense enough to cause burns. Which in any case has also made me wonder about how much UV damage plant can sustain, when they are stuck out in the intense bombardment of ultraviolet B rays which causes the most skin damage to humans. I'm sure that it does the same amount of damage to the plant.

One of the first things I did was start to work on potions since I knew that one of the potions was for sleep which allowed me to gain a full eight hours of sleep in half the amount of time. That time was essential because what I could do underground was make certain to get my skills up to the point where I could either clone myself or others if I ran across survivors...or even more so get myself more quality foodstuffs by increasing the quality of my food ensuring good health.

After a few setbacks and having potions blow up on me and having to repeatedly shower (thank goodness for a water recycling system) I achieved the potion I wanted, a sleep potion. Then since it was seven hours to sun-up, I decided to go out and get some food so that I wouldn't starve to death.

Then it was time to hit the hay which ended my first day...of trying to survivve long enough to bring back civilization. I don't know how to count this, but well...it seems like today was the tipping point whereas prior to this was just survival for myself. But I'm tired of being alone and need someone to talk to other than myself and whatever animals I come across if they're not panicked enough to run from me. What I'm wishing for is human companionship and I can only hope that I'm successful in my task.
