Curiosity shone in Nightgaze's bright green eyes as she was approached and asked for approval on an idea. Approval? She'd never been asked for that before, usually cats went to Bumblestar for her seal of approval but she guessed she could give permission as well. "Yeah, sure." settling herself down, the small hornet tilted her head intriguingly "What ya want to talk about?"

Drizzlenight wasted no time launching into his pre-prepared little speech. "Right. So I was speaking with Bumblestar the other day, and I mentioned that an evacuation plan would be good to have and practice. Everyone hopes we'll never need it, but if history is anything to go by we'll eventually need one again.

"I think it makes sense for certain cats to have specific jobs during an evacuation. Cats to help the sick and injured, the kits, and to protect the high ranks when the Hornets aren't able to. Strong, capable cats to hang behind and do one last check of the dens before leaving. Further, I think we should have a set place to evacuate to, like one of the landmarks, and a backup location in case that area is compromised." His eyes focused on Nightgaze, eager to hear what the Hornet would have to say.

The tom was eyeing the surrounding walls, unhappy with the lack of support in case an ambush were to occur. Measly ferns would do nothing, and the bramble itself could only hold back so much. What could he do to reinforce it? Deep in thought, it seemed as though the Deputy was glaring at the fresh kill pile, something itching in the back of his mind. He needed to send out more patrols, considering only one had reported back it was nothing but annoyance and deep, deep contemplation.

Ear twitching as he realized someone had approached him. Without giving them a glance he let out a grunt. "If it's purely business. Speak." he stated, a single claw tapping at the slush below. It was getting colder and colder, which meant they needed more and more materials. But what. Moss could only keep them so warm for so long, they needed food, and a better outer perimiter.

Hopefully, whatever the Warrior speaks about would catch his attention and pull him out of his own mind.

Spiderthroat seemed deep in thought when Drizzlenight found him, so he wasn't too surprised at the curt response. Seeing a deputy focused and thinking was always an encouraging and welcome thing. Not wanting to distract him for too long, Drizzlenight launched into his reason for being there.

"I was speaking with Bumblestar the other day; I mentioned that I think we need a proper evacuation plan in place for the Clan, and that we should practice that every so often. Just in case we end up in another Haggard Ruins situation or something like it. We'd have cats assigned to specific jobs- help the sick and injured, help the kits, help the high ranks if the Hornets are unable to and they're overwhelmed or badly injured. A few strong cats would stay behind and do one last sweep of the dens before leaving themselves.

"In addition, having a set place to congregate would be wise, so we don't have cats running panicked through the whole territory. A backup location in case the first is compromised would also be smart, I think. Practicing the plan, say, once a season would be good, to keep it fresh in everyone's minds. I'd ask for volunteers for each of the jobs, since I'd rather have a cat who chose to be there helping me than a cat forced to be there."
