"I don't doubt you can help people be ready for winter, Frank, but it should be a group effort. Who knows if one of our most hyper-competent people might disappear and all the skills and knowledge with them?" It isn't really aimed at Frank, that comment. Bruce sighs. "Clint ... well. You know that he's gone." Bruce only saw him briefly, and that was after years apart, but it still felt like a loss for him. For someone who didn't have a lot of people who actually looked happy to see him, he took those things to hart. "I know there's a system here that I'm new to, that you've all done this before, and that's why I'm here. You two are experts, and I've always preferred learning from those." He smiles faintly.
Bruce nods at Kamala. "I think a list of some kind is a good idea. A phone tree, so to speak, of what people will do in an emergency. We might want people to be more constantly on fountain duty, I wouldn't mind volunteering for that. When it's winter, coming out of the fountain is going to be rough." He'll need to think about hypothermia and preparations for that. "I suspect you do patrols, Frank, but having a buddy system in case of emergency is wise. I'm ...." Bruce shrugs and waves his hand at the notebook. "This is what I'm good at. Research, theories. But people are ... are really not my strong suit."
He's doing okay with them, so far, but it's not his comfort zone. "Considering that, would it make sense to have, I guess teams is too big a word for it, but groups that lean toward specific strengths. The fighters and survivalists focus on defense and living conditions, the scientists focus on research and medical, and the natural friendly leaders like Kamala here as point people. Or am I putting us into boxes too much?" Bruce just assumes that Kamala knows that she is a natural leader; he knew it from the first time they spoke. She's definitely the outward facing best choice, if you ask him.
