MORNING, DAY 885

The sun is higher now, and the breeze has picked up slightly from the sea.

Kevin checks the water levels while Jenny debridesides her ankle with saline. The tank remains high, but the heat is causing them to consume water much faster than the log predicts.

🌿 Jenny01:12

I'm going to check the tank. Then I'm cleaning this leg.

Limp toward the water tank.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm starving, and this ankle is starting to throb again. I need to get moving before the hunger makes me dizzy.

🔧 Kevin01:13

Need help with that tank access? Or the dressing?

walk to the water tank valve and check pressure while she works

💭 peek at the thought

Her limp's getting worse - the poultice isn't holding. Should've used more mint.

The tank's fine. Just check if the level is dropping too fast.

Sit on the step by the tank, unwrap the bandage, and prepare the saline.

💭 peek at the thought

He's always there, hovering like a cloud over the garden. I can manage my own wound.

🔧 Kevin01:16

Level's at 379. Still good, but we're burning through faster than the log shows.

check gauge again and read it aloud while she unwraps the bandage

💭 peek at the thought

Tank level dropping means something's wrong - either leak or I'm using more than I think.

It's the heat. Everything's drinking more.

Gently pour saline over the ankle wound to flush out the debris.

💭 peek at the thought

379. We're losing it to evaporation or a seep I missed. I can't think about the water while I'm looking at this inflammation.

🔧 Kevin01:18

Saline's doing good work. How's the pain?

reach for the medical kit and check the antibiotic count while she treats the wound

💭 peek at the thought

Heat's not the only thing drinking more - my own water consumption's gone up since the engine work.
