Fiona pulled the inventory, and her expression tightened. “We have a decent amount of standard modules, but most of it was earmarked for production facility expansion and warehouse builds. If we’re talking housing for 2,000 people on a fast turnaround, the gap is significant, especially in insulation panels, interior partitions, and basic living fixtures. Ordering from Centria Planet and waiting on shipping time

and cost…”

Elizabeth thought for a moment, then made the call. “Inventory everything we have, build as much as we can, prioritize families with elderly, young children, or the most difficult circumstances. For the gap…”

She glanced across the pad to where Elmer was wrapping up the final handover with Tiffany. “I’ll handle it.”

Her plan was straightforward. Ask Elmer to pick up emergency building supplies from Centria Planet on the return trip.

She’d just solved a placement problem involving nearly an entire ship’s worth of people. A supply run wasn’t much to ask in return.

She was about to head over when Elmer came to her first, wearing the expression of someone who’d just remen:bered something important.

“Ms. Schofield, I caught some of what you and Ms. Powell were saying about housing.”

“Perfect timing. I was about to ask you about sourcing building materials on your way back.”

Elmer shook his head slightly, looking a little sheepish. “That’s my fault. I was focused on the personnel reporting and let the most important piece slip. Let me explain.”

He glanced toward the families gathered quietly on the landing pad, waiting for direction. “You don’t need to worry about housing, at least not the way you’re thinking. Under the First Military standard discharge and disability settlement policy, every soldier who sustains a serious service injury requiring long-term placement receives a portable eco-pod as part of their initial resettlement package. It’s the military’s baseline provision for ensuring injured veterans and their families have somewhere to start.”

“Portable eco-pod.” Elizabeth processed that. She knew the term. Self-contained mobile living units. integrated life support, temperature regulation, and basic sanitation are widely used in frontier settlements and emergency housing.

They weren’t cheap,

Elmer read her expression and kept going. “Military procurement, standardized issue. The spec is designed around keeping injured veterans comfortable and allowing family members to stay close. Three- room configuration, separate bedroom, living area, compact kitchen, and bathroom, running on the latest ecological cycling systems with solid energy autonomy and straightforward maintenance. Not as spacious as a permanent structure, but more than adequate for a core family’s day-to-day needs.”
