Feeling better today, got a first draft for the post out this morning but I'm not happy with it so I'm still letting it simmer.

Can say this though: Placed Takuma, Shimizu and Kato at the old highway to work on the runners while Keita and Souji were tasked with overseeing the base. Hotaru's placed at the front door, as I assumed Gritty wanted him to arrive there. Anyone who signs up after can be retcon'd after the fact to be at the base or I can think of a third event.

Since yesterday was a sick day and I wanted to work on the post in two days, new expected delivery time is somewhere tomorrow. If y'all want me to do any last-minute changes, now's the moment.

EDIT: Charak wants to move to the pit-stop crew which brings that character total up to 4 but that leaves only Keita at the base to deal with Hotaru. If Amaranthine or Webboy want to switch to base-guarding duty that's fine too, but I doubt Shimizu would stick around if they didn't explicitly need her and I think Kato is more suited to do the direct tinkering. Either we roll with the 4/2 split or someone suggests an alternative.
