It looks like our roles as caretakers of the wanderer population are about to get a lot more literal.

From what I hear, current wanderers and any new ones coming through are not going to have anywhere to go unless they elect to head out to the Main Gauche, and from what I hear from Elashte, that may not be a sustainable option. At the moment, we're sitting on top of the largest facility available to house them: the Kashtta Tower.

We need to get the academic wings set up to handle an influx of refugees. See that we have a system to assign rooms, set up common areas, work out some sort of rotation with kitchen duties and determine access controls on consumables.

And we need to find a way to lock down the Tower proper – the basement especially, but I'd like to restrict access to the offices above the first floor. Above the second, if necessary; we can relocate up, but I don't want civilians tramping all over Torchwood HQ, and I certainly don't want them messing with the Rift in the sub-basement. Not to mention the corrupted hallway and Owen's morgue. We can't proceed with this until we take care of those security concerns.

I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm asking it, and at this point the city of Chicago is asking it, too. I want the Kashtta partitioned and ready to be inhabited within four days, if at all possible and possibly if not. By the time the sun sets on Wednesday, let's have a place for the masses to call home.

With room for growth.

Cardswipe should see us through, at the very least initially. We might want to combine it with a secondary failsafe somewhere down the road, but I've got no problem with gradual improvements once we have something to improve on.

All right. I'll make sure we've got enough rooms ready and I'll start stocking up on kitchen supplies.

It's too bad cheap, reliable biometrics are still a couple years off. I don't entirely trust the systems that are available right now.

Well, there's always the Torchwood way: point the resident techhead at whatever's fallen through the Rift recently and tell them to get cracking.
