Note: I just don't like the spirits period!  They are too many and too powerful for one person to control. Other than a few specific characters the others should be open to anyone,  which you don't allow.  Especially as a moderator your characters can interact bit to control everything isn't fair to other players.  Even just your charlton spirits should not be wholly controlled by you.  If Fernando or I did that,  like I decided all engineered wessen and mutants we're mine to control and had a fit of someone tried to make them do something I didn't like,  you would have a absolute fit.  So too much control on your part,  too much power,  and with them at your whine too little story challenge. This is my issue.  Had they protected us all the story would be more like road trip, with us traveling and doing something stupid here and there to break up the monotony.  Of they have ships us traveling is useless,  if they have the power to rebuild then there would be no challenge to finding stuff as the world would be back to modern.  By creating the ultra powerful beings,  to let them be what they are would to be to make no story.  If they are good and allow freedom then why would a hero rise to challenge them?  So the only story line left would be for super villains to arrive and try to take down the good and rule.  Problem is the rules and premise of the story says it's a steam punk,  post appocolyptic, mad Max world.  Fall out 4 is very accurate,  my brother plays it so I have seen the game.  You like to control things,  everyone and their dogs know this.  So you created something that did not fit in this world,  now we are having issues over their power,  again.  Yes,  had they done all you claim they could I would have dropped out as there was no story. Will Fernando and hondo ever like or trust the spirits?  No.  Their background and nature will not allow it no matter what.  Can we get rid of them?  Too late for that definitely.  So,  since they know of the spirits power they will condem the spirits for not using it to the fullest as they see this as all unnecessary and do not like those who don't give 100% or more.  They have other battles to fight and lives to live in their minds so the spirits dragging them here when they have the power to fix shit without them is a waste of their time and infuriating.  This is now the story.  It WILL NOT CHANGE! You get mad when the characters criticize the spirits but know you created them without thinking about long term nor story repercussions. You , as a moderator,  plan a goal but you act if you alone have control over the whole story.  It's and RPG.  If the players don't have some control and can't make their own goals then you will not get participators or at least not keep them. The spirits would work as stranded bad guys with small groups of good ones,  most groups not trusting each other,  freedom for players to manipulate them other than special characters owned by players,  and no space ships or powers other than shape shifting,  a few mutant like powers,  and maybe a few patched up pieces of scavanged tech.  That's my view.

I stated where I stand on this. If these hospitals prefer to do without, than buy modern medical supplies shipped via the Charlton Railroad, then they can do without. Given what you told me I get the impression they prefer to do without.
 
My offer of Jeanette trading some of her extra medical supplies is still on the table. It's not a lot but it's better than doing without.

It would be best if the RPG continues. At this point of time in the RPG the ball is in Jeanette's court and then Val and then Fernando and Hondo where the 6 to 8 or so hours will happen. In that I'm going to add that Fernando and Hondo will eat in the truck the sandwiches Jeanette gave to them on the way home. Other than that, nothing else changes in what was agreed with in the writing.
 
This RPG came to a screeching halt because I'm complaining about the statement of all this being "Fernando's fault." As I stated, the Spirits had 40+ years to do something and from that they only help their little corners of the world. That's great, that's fine, they only helped themselves and those who are willing to work with them. Nothing wrong with that.
 
But to say that it is Fernando's fault when it is not, is wrong and as it is blaming him for something he is not responsible for or was not there to do something about it. They are looking at him as a scapegoat for their shortcomings, incompetence, actions and inactions. Humanity, according tot he RPG, suffered greatly through the Happening in 2020-something. But from 2020 to 2066, they lifted themselves up from disaster and began rebuilding. It is not perfect but they got a lot done. Roads establishing trade routes are there though some roads are hard to navigate. Wireless Communications is up in many areas on a basic level with CB and Shortwave. It is not Cellphone access but it gets the message out there. Railroads are up and running where they rebuilt the lines. Not all lines and towns are connected but it is a start. And hospitals / medical centers are up and running even if it is on a primitive level.
 
If Fernando had a choice, he would get his both surgical kits duplicated (The second is a leather pouch field kit from WWI, which has the same things a modern field kit would have for emergencies but it it very lacking. It is pocket sized and it is something a modern surgeon has on him when he travels. But if he had to do an On The Field Amputation, he would not be able to do it with this kit. The Civil War Kit is more suited for that.) Again in these kits the blades are not disposable. They can be sterilized and sharpened as needed. This is what the hospital needs.
 
Whether or not the people want something the spirits made is not the point. Fernando would say, "This medical kit is what I got. Do you want it? And how many do you want? It can get here in 6 weeks or less by private messenger. If Blimps and Zeppelins are used, the trip can be shortened to days, if the weather cooperates. What do you say?"

I should have been clearer. I was talking about the character Jeanette in the story. The original plan was for Jeanette to remain after the mission was over.
 
Quote from Hondo I. Sackett on Dec 17^th, 2016, 10:43am:

No rules were violated, only the continuity. What would happen if I wrote Karl, Maribelle or Teri in a way that breaks continuity? Obviously I would have to rewrite the post.
