That was ... exceptionally satisfying.
It took a long time to get the supply chains working again. I had to make a number of calls, and even put in a bit of heavy lifting myself.
But it's done. I hired a team to build my home into something respectable for the rightful ruler of the world - as I (privately) think of myself. Delusions of grandeur? Perhaps, but I seem to be the only one who can get anything done around here.
I've noticed something, in the time it took to reach the top. Nobody - and I do mean nobody - has nice things. Even the thugs the Coven sends to collect their tribute (which I pay, I'm not stupid) are dressed shabbily, and all of them look ten times their age.
The things we used to take for granted are a lifetime away - there are children who have been born since the apocalypse who will never know the simple ease of looking something up on the internet. So much knowledge has been lost ... so much will need to be reclaimed.
If I can succeed ... I have a plan.
When the time comes, I will sacrifice this mortal life, for an immortality through my bloodline.
Of course, that means I need to have a bloodline.
The man I had conned into being my fiancee turned out to be a poor choice - too old, and gone mad with the dementia that strikes all the elderly these days.
But I have an old friend from the Facility ... I wonder where he is now ...

With Business cleared, I immediately remodeled the 'house' part of the houseboat into something that could stand the test of a few generations. I'm particularly pleased with the main level, though I'm sure I'll be able to cram more junk in once everything is unlocked and all.
Ironically, NRAAS informs me that the fish I threw back became a World Renowned Surgeon. I'm going to not act on that information as it feels like a cheat to have even obtained it.
Also, I'd already had a graduation gnome from college, but then I got an Evil Mr. Gnome from - apparently - being a home-wrecker. Who knew?
