《Doomsday Pillars》064. 7 Division
Advertisement
Alex and the seven managers gathered for a meeting in the command center, the main agenda is the people distribution; place and jobs. As the fourth rule said, 'Everyone must contribute'. Every male and female, between age 16 to 60, unless, under a disability, each person needs to contribute to the community.
Other than the supervisor position which employs directly by each manager, there are two main roles within the community; The worker and the fighter.
In a time of peace, the ratio number between civilian and security personnel are normally around 500:1, but in Doomsday time, Alex proposes a ratio of 4:6, For every 10 people there will be 4 fighter and 6 workers.
Benny: "Mr. Alex, seeing the current situation, the whole Bali should be cleared from all zombie within a month or two. Shouldn't we focus on rebuilding society with workers than creating more fighters?"
Alex gives the question some thought, probably some area who manage to handle the first disaster would think the same. "As I explain in the doomsday video, the threat will only increase, next we will not just be facing zombies, Monster will start showing up. These zombies are just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg..."
Alex has a flash memory of his past life, A group of elite sky realm warrior easily devour by a 10 meters tall monster, the death, and terror... he unconsciously shivers.
"Within months, the threat level will vastly increase. If we didn't prepare we would be wiped out by these monsters"
"What is the timeframe?" Major Sandi asked
"Three months, after three months you will see more mutated zombies than normal zombies on the street. There will also be hordes of monsters even stronger than that red zombies after three months. Without the proper defense, none human will survive. Therefore before three months up, we need to gather everyone together, not just the one in Bali, but all the island in the east or further"
All managers startled hearing this, 4 days after the doomsday, seeing the progress, people start to feel safer, but this news makes them anxious again. Afterward, there was no longer an argument about the ratio in the meeting. Alex actually plan to slowly increase the fighters ratio in the future.

The first batch of fighters to be recruited will be 35.000 men. This is such a big number, these fighters will be assigned to Major Sandi. Even though the major was a high ranking officer in the police department and trainer for the police special forces, he never trains these many men before. Colonel Jaka head of the police might be a better candidate, but he refuses because of age.
The Major was then teamed up with Mahaguru Indra of pencak silat society and the other masters. Together they will be in charge of selecting the men and trained them. Alex decided to minimize firearm training, as bullets are limited and in the future when the pillars came, there will be lots of close combat artifact and skill. So the men will be trained mostly in the art of close combat.
First is the pencak silat basic movement, offense, and defense techniques.
Second is the weapon combat; the art of the saber for assault, spear and shield for defense. The group also still need to learn basic firearm techniques. The one who has proficiency in the firearm will be chosen to be in the firearm troops.
The third is the formation training. The basic is the five-men person formation and the big group formation for offense or defense.
Alex needs the first batch to be ready within two weeks. The public security division was not created to build an army, but just as a basic introduction. The advanced training will start within the military and through combat experience. The division also chooses some of the fighter to be the guards for the base.
All these new fighters will be moved and station in the city of Antiga, the city place between The Main Base and the Bay city. Tony recruits 5000 workers to revitalize the Antiga city, into a fighter base and turn the Bay city into a Naval base. 5.000 worker and 35.000 fighters, total 40.000 men will be moved outside the main base, with this, the overpopulation of the main base and living arrangement of the people are settled.
There are another 46.000 left in the Star Base. The base expected to receive ten thousands more survivors daily for the next few days. So it will soon be crowded again. Alex needs to quickly sort all these people. Exclude the children and elders, there are 28.000 workers to be assigned for jobs.

Tony took another 10000 workers, mostly builder and steelworker. He would need to build the rest 200 warehouse within days, with some of the construction machinery destroy by the EMP, he would need more people to do manual labor. There are still many things to do outside the base, but this warehouse will be the main priority. He expected this 200 warehouse will be done in three to four weeks, therefore at the moment, he set up several big tents as temporary living arrangements for the refugees who couldn't get a place yet.
Jane took 7000 workers to be farmers, As the number of survivor's increases, the farm also needs to expand. It's not hard to find 7000 experience farmers between these groups, as many Bali locals mostly are farmers. She also looking for a way to expand the farm to grow more than just potatoes. Milk and eggs would require chicken and cows, but for that, she needs to coordinate with the research division.
The medical and research division lead by Doctor Rachel recruits all survivor with any medical and scientific experience. she manages to gather 80 doctors and nurses, barely enough to run one medical center. She also needs to send a few teams to the survival post. Therefore she also recruits dozens of medical student to become a medical assistant. As for research scientist, she only needs a real expert, she only manages to find a few of them. They will research on the effect of the mutation on the animal, research on the body of a mutated zombie and also the ongoing research on the spirit stones.
Benny's lead the administration division. His daily task includes profiling each survivor, brief, provide an identification card, provide room and the food vouchers. He also creates a help center as an information center. These days, the center was full of people searching for their missing relative and friend. The division seems to be doing an easy task but without computer and internet... The job is a hundred times harder. But Benny's passions is always with the people. Benny recruit 500 people to help him
Devita got the last 10.000 plus people into the Supply division. The division not only provides the supplies but also make sure the supplies got distributed properly. Therefore she creates a few subdivision. The Helpers, The Cooks, The Traders, and The Scavengers.
This division will run the storage, the kitchen the main dining and the market. Each person who already gets an identification will receive two food voucher each day. that's mean roughly 100.000 mouths to feeds each day. With the current food supplies Alex prepared, it will last around 6 months. If more people came, it will not last long enough. Therefore not only the division needs to come up with a creative meal out of dry or canned foods, but they also need to find more supplies.
That's what the scavengers teams for. These scavengers will be the hunter of equipment and supplies throughout the abandoned cities. During a hunt, they will be accompanied by fighters. These scavengers are given the job to find highly needed items: Foods, Medical supplies, ammunition, and gasoline.
4000 will be assigned to the scavengers team. She also employs Barry the navy engineer as an assistant to gathers all survivors with a mechanical skill to fix and maintain all functional electrical equipment including the vehicles. With the electronic supplies that Alex already prepare before the EMP, Alex hopes to find more vehicles that work especially boats.
For the kitchen departement, Devita only needs 500 cooks and the rest will be assigned as helpers. These helpers will help to distribute foods, cleanups and the other time will be to move supplies items. As for traders, currently will not be needed, All daily necessities like something to eat, to wear and to sleep already prepare for free by the base...but soon Alex plans to create a market and barter area but maybe in next few days.
The meetings are finally overs, the only one still confuse was the ex-governor Agung, he's not sure what to do with his division, there are almost 10.000 children and elders in this base.

Office Days
Follow Captain Monday and the Weekdays team as they fight the good fight against the villainous Weekends. Oh, and file form a33-2 before eoq3. Comes with a dash of The Office and Office Space plus a side of Super Hero satire. Office Days is episodic in nature. So each story is standalone and may vary in length and focus. The Monday Case is the first episode and serves mostly to introduce the characters broadly. Comments get +Rep for effort. This setting was intended to be a comic series but I never found an artist for the job... probably for lack of trying. The "art" is for concept only... it took me far too long to make and it's still all sub-par.

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
