When Kelsey checked in, her crew congratulated her in a fairly laid-back way, The signals techs were competent but not overly gung-ho, the civilian volunteers more enthusiastic but not really sure where they fit into the organisation. Technically, until the situation was clarified they (like the rest of the militia) were "civilian contractors".
"Thanks folks, just make me look good and do good work, and I will do what I can for you."

The comms logs didn't record any transmissions during the last evening or night.
That wasn't too surprising, the biggest known surviving urban area was New Westminster, and there was a fair bit of distance and high ground between them. There were a few garbled bursts of static, but othewise the low-power FM transmitters wouldn't be heard from where they were located.
"Hey guys.. we got any old standing big radio towers still around that we can put to use? Maybe one of you Contractors can do a survey? Some more elevation for antenna would be nice."

Dave Urry, Kelsey's friend from the Royal Canadian Scots' and the "security adviser" for the train on the North Shore got on the air shoot the breeze. He updated her on conditions up to Squamish and Lillooet last time they were up there, in March. (Not so bad in Chilliwack, and terrible in Lillooet).
Kelsey takes notes and chats amiably with Dave, shooting the breeze back with him, she will forward that information to Clark in a verbal report.

There was a message from Ed the Survivalist. He said he would send his son Tyler as a liaison. Andy knew this was a good sign; if he wasn't serious about learning about them then he wouldn't have sent someone so close. Lee promised to keep working on a "shooting house" for training purposes, to be shared with the RCMP.
That also, of course, will be passed on in report

Otherwise, they were set for daily operations. The undercover signals "HAZMAT" van, ambulance and RCMP cruiser were ready to depart for the downtown. In it would be Fox, McLean and Champlain, along with 2 RCMP and a doctor and paramedic team.
"Good work achieving the impossible with next to nothing folks, love ya"

The Council sent word that they would be able to start setting up community centres throughout the east end of the city, extending the government's influence in the local neighborhood by a social and medical "outreach" program.
Hmmmmm and that makes for a nice little 3 part report to Clarke
(OOC)(want it 'IC' Mel?)
