Around 10 HY, people got their basic needs met to the extent that they could complain to each other about other things.
The biggest complaint was that, while Project Zero was willing to do logical things, it seemed to take them forever. There was no real point of contact on their side, and there was no official representation on the refugee side, so basically fixing things consisted of enough people pestering them about a problem that Project Zero finally realized it might be a problem, then a year of ass-covering research while they determined it was a real problem and not just some loud yahoos pretending it was. And then it admittedly got fixed pretty quickly if it was important. But getting to that point was a nightmare. And if it wasn’t important, it would get referred upward to all three MTPs and never be heard from again.
The official origin of the Haven Provisional government was the regular meetings between Brian Torres, the very well-respected person who had lead refugees even before Haven existed and was one of the main causes of Haven existing at all, and Gregory Stevenson, who had been trying to community build between the various groups on Haven.
The refugees from various timelines were fairly insular, and there were some weird prejudices and ideas, and the people who had not come from ‘common’ time periods in those various timelines often were outsiders. Gregory, as a military chaplain, had tried to start organizing religious services, but had realized it needed to be something bigger than that, so had started talking to Brian regularly about that.
Then they started asking people to join them for a meeting. This worked pretty well, so much it became known that if your group had concerns, you could ask one of them to let you join a meeting.
When Brian and Gregory realized this, they put up announcements in various people. An open meeting of the ‘Tuesday Group’, every first and third Tuesday, upstairs in June’s Place. For people to talk about their concerns and what direction Haven needed to go.
The first major concern, predictably, was housing. There was not enough. People had housing, but that was with a lot of them crammed into small spaces. This got Dyani Adair attending the group on a permanent basis.
June Henderson ended up attending also because it was her bar, and she knew quite a lot of people, and if the Tuesday Group needed to reach out to some people, she probably knew someone there.
The Tuesday Group did indeed start connecting groups. Instead of random refugees plopped down into nowhere, Haven started to fell like a place.
This started to highlight a problem that no one had really dealt with before, in that the way that medical care was dealt with was that each MTP had a few specific points in time and space that you could go to to see an available doctor, but that meant that people generally got their own timeline’s care, and that vastly differed. It was 1931 in Commonwealth, and while Commonwealth Next had started to introduce antibiotics with stolen future knowledge, medical science simply wasn’t there.
Haven really needed dedicated medical care, provider here instead of people having to trek out, and preferable provided at InterAct levels.
