A catastrophe has visited the Isle

Received the urgent missive via herlit express and will assemble an aid caravan immediately. Be strong Helistans, Fort Haskins will give as much assistance as We are able. ~ Madeleine Veyl, Scribe

Received a missive of dire importance..the Builder will be at your disposal

The damage to Asperiche was relatively light. The ‘Revenge and I are available where we are needed.

All Help will be gratefully received, there may even be a medal in it for some of You, The Helisto Star, given to none Helisto, people for services to Our treasured Isle. We would love to see you visiting Helisto and bringing any skills You may have, (any time You can give Us would be appreciated) were open Thursday 10-30 pm UK time, for about 2 hours, thats 5-30 to 7-30 Eastern time U.S. Thank You in anticipation. Admiral Aiken,

Simons barge anchored in Verrs Hoof Bay, he takes a small row boat to the shore, surrveying the damgae to the dock area as he goes along. Once on land he finds Talarius and Admiral Aiken and the discission is made to create a temporary pontoon dock between the dry dock and shipping dock / lanes to bring in vital supplies first. Simon and his crew of nine Associate Builders, craftsmen, thralls and the good people of the Isle itself begin the task of clearing away debris from this area.

Once this is accomplished, the pontoons are lashed together securely and floated into position, there they are anchored firmly to the bedrock beneath them, ready for any supply ships that are soon to arrive.
Simon splits his Associate Builders up into teams of two, with assigned thralls, these teams begin to assess and carefully begin to remove any dangerous building hazards, as well as re-establish city resources, the reclaiming and repair of fresh water wells, cisterns and natural spring ...

... water flows. Others begin work on the barracks that house the militia, sailors and harbour control...the Protective Wall is repaired in several places, re-enforced all along its length. The damage to the Hospital is so severe, it will be scheduled to be demolished, in its place for now, Simon and his two man team and dozens of slaves, begin to clear the land on the hospital grounds and start to construct a temporary facility ...

... made of wooden beams, brick and mortar, the floors not perfect are made of the tile supplies that were brought ashore, the roofs of a sturdy thatched material, a total of six adobe medical facilities. Simon and his teams work with the citizens of Helisto, listening to their needs, their suggestions, how this building was used, what it looked like, it's importance to the Isle..as well as any stories they need to get off of their chests, the shock of it all ...

... how some have a fear of how it happened and some of how it was a natural disaster and those who have lost a loved one..building to Simon and his crew is more then just sticks and bricks to live in..it is those that do the living that count. As the day closes He assigns crews of slaves to clear and clean, to save and disguard materials and to be of help anywhere that they can. He'll wait at the docks to hear from either Talarius or the Admiral for any further plans they may have.

I have just received news of the disaster, I shall pass the word through Asperiche, that all persons able to travel to Helisto, make themselves available to help.

Your offer of aid is much appreciated Judas. Those of Our fleet still seaworthy are travelling to Asperiche to pick up food and other needed provisions. Thiery tells that Asperiche is but little affected by the event.

I have put together several groups of the Women and slaves to begin cooking and serving hot meals to Y'all, 20/5 until the crisis is over. The supplies brought from Fort Haskins will be replenished by a second shipment, and a third as well until the job is complete. We also have laundry and bathing sites situated around the area in safe zones so that the tired and hungry and dirty may be comforted. As far as the hospital goes, I would have expected a response from Port Olni by now ,,,,

... The Physicians of Fort Haskins have been setting bones, tending wounds along with those from other places and seem to be doing well. I do hope Our contributions of personnel and supplies will be of some use to Y'all. ~ Madie

Judas has taken some merchant ships that are out of the harbor and hired them to transport food stuffs, medical Ian’s blankets, tarps etc. to Helisto. I’ll be bring my ship, the Ubaras Revenge and other ships of war I have enlisted to help and we’ll set up a security perimeter as needed at the island. You have is as long as we are needed. Other supplies are being brought to Asperiche to be inventoried and sent to Helisto as needed.

Communications haven't been easy, but I'm putting together a list of ships lost, or damaged, and those seaworthy, The human cost among our sailors has been great, There is a list in Admiralty House of dead and missing, also those injured, which is updated as and when, I have also created a list of sailors fit enough to carry out any duties assigned to them, In respect of the loss of life suffered among senior naval personnel, I have promoted Captain Torres, to Commodore, more to follow.

a smaller version of the hospital is up and running, the docks are repaired, the removal of rubble and the reopening of roads are established, the Master Builder and Associates move to housing for the Isles citizen, some homes can be repaired, others from the ground up..government buildings are also being attended to, the work load is never too much when bearing your brothers load
