Charlie remains beside the rainwater assembly as Thomas, Maya, Evan, Andre, and Rosa gather around the barrels. The test materials are arranged in measured stages.
Maya Rodriguez
We record collection time, flow rate, leaks, filter clarity, and storage temperature. The treated sample stays isolated until verification.
Thomas opens the valve. Water passes through the screened inlet and layered filter into a clean container. Evan watches the markings while Andre checks every hose connection.
Evan Cole
Flow is steady. No leaks at the barrel, screen, or fittings. I’m logging the first measured volume now.
Aunt Rosa
The filter is catching visible sediment, and the storage lid seals completely. I’ll label this untreated and start the treatment timer.
Charlie Moore
The collection path is holding, but clear water is not proof that it is safe.
Thomas Roberts
We wait for the treatment cycle, babe. Then Maya verifies the sample before anyone counts this system as drinking water.
“Charlie nods as he checks the treatment tanks. He asks how much drinking water and how much grey water they can reliably generate with this set up?”
SUCCESS (Legendary Investigation, rolled +0)
Charlie nods and checks the treatment tanks, following each hose, filter stage, drain, and marked container. The assembly remains steady beneath the roofline.
Charlie Moore
How much drinking water and how much grey water can we reliably generate with this setup?
Maya Rodriguez
With the current barrels and one roof section, plan on forty gallons of treated drinking water per collection cycle. The rest, roughly ten gallons after sediment and treatment losses, is grey water.
Evan Cole
That assumes moderate rainfall and no clogged screens. I’ll log each cycle by roof area, rainfall, collection volume, and usable output so we can refine the estimate.
Aunt Rosa
The grey water is enough for laundry, cleaning floors, and flushing, but we keep it labeled and separate from the drinking containers.
Maya writes the figures onto the workshop board: forty gallons potable, ten gallons grey water per reliable cycle. The refuge now has a conservative baseline for rationing and expansion.

“Charlie says they should probably plan for 3 pf these systems per building. That should give them enough to meet all their needs and look at expansion. They should also look at using the Ag building to grow food.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Reasoning, rolled -2)
Charlie Moore
We should plan for three water systems per building. That should cover our needs and give us room to expand. We should also assess the Agriculture building for growing food.
Charlie adds three collection systems to each building plan, then marks the Agriculture building as the first food-production site. Maya updates the refuge board beside the forty-gallon baseline.
Maya Rodriguez
That gives us redundancy if one system fails. We will need six more barrels, screens, hoses, treatment supplies, and enough covered storage to keep the outputs separate.
Evan Cole
The Agriculture building already has useful roof area and growing space. I’ll map water access, sunlight, drainage, and safe routes before we commit supplies.
Thomas Roberts
It is a strong expansion plan, babe. Water supports the crops, and the crops reduce pressure on our food stores, but we build it in controlled stages.
The plan consumes the refuge’s remaining clean hose and two spare storage barrels for its first expansion stage. Maya labels the shortage, while Evan assigns a survey team for the Agriculture building.
Aunt Rosa
I’ll track the water and planting records together. If the Agriculture building is safe, we can measure exactly what each system and growing bed provides.
