Default TIME Matrix, my two cents

Your TIME matrix is a very apt description for the Morrow Project IF the original plan occurs. Wake up is 4-5 years post BANG.

IF you are running in the "canon" universe of BANG + 150, there is a different set of needs.

Any survivors have overcome the urgent needs of the post BANG. They have stabilized, to the extent possible, their community. The knowledge base has probably erroded to approx 1750's tech level. Small villages with barter based trade. There is a gunsmith who can produce either Brown Bess muskets or (if lucky) Kentucky Long Rifles. Someone has developed black powder. Horses,mules,oxen,etc. provide the muscle power for farming. The village has probably re-engineered either wind power or water power for grinding grain, there should be a cottage industry to produce clothing, either homespun or buckskin depending upon local availability of resources. There is a country doctor somewhere who can help to the best of his ability.

Against this environment, our intrepid Morrow team has many tools available to help the village.

1) Availability of fusion powered vehicles to plow larger fields to increase food production.

2) Availability of fusion based water purification systems to provide clean water. (Starnaman scenario)

3) A medic who can provide care for the sick and injured.

4) Knowledge of crop rotation, irrigation, sanitation, animal husbandry,etc.

5) Knowlege of engineering (at least to the point of helping build more secure building, with more insulation, better bridges, better dams, etc.)

6) Firepower to protect the village against the forces of evil. (They are out there, somewhere....)

This is a partial list of what Morrow can do. This one village will take up a HUGE amount of our team's time. The team has to make sure that the village is more secure both physically and as far as basic human needs before they move on to another village.
