5th Hour - The Colony

Although some might beg to differ I am very crafty and I "think on my toes". i seem to work better under pressure. And, even though I'm not an aggressive person naturally, i protect my own. The situations and circumstances this people are living under i believe i would adapt to accordingly and be a major contribution to the group. I would definitely have to say that the colonists need to develop an organized security system and obtain or make some defense mechanisms or weapons. But, as far as me handling myself in the colony, i think i would do really good.

I think that the priority that wasnt really as important as the others were the medical supplies because they could possibly find other ways for any cure they might need maybe without the need of medicine.

Water is an essential part of short term survival and members of the colony would not be able to function without it, though the others are quite significant as well. A human body can function for a longer period of time without food than without water, and of course it is your own health that comes before anything.
