The OCU had moved to the gym. They had converted the gym into OCU head quarters. They had began a training program with the swords and a spears. The shop room had also been located in the gym building. So they also began to craft weapons. Mostly spears and swords, but arrow heads weren't too rare. They didn't know when they might come across the wood to make bows. They hadn't left the gym for any reasons because of the food storage below the gym its self. There were 500 people in the gym building, a little less than half of the school. They together had built up their defense. Now that defense was no longer a threat, famine, dehydration and hygiene were the next problems. Zoey had decided that since they had the gym, the pool would make great for hygiene, 'but how to keep the water from turning brown' she pondered. She paced in her office. Wondering what she could do.
The water had cut a week ago. Those who worked in the shop were covered in dust and dirt. They work shifts twelve hours long. They had very limited entertainment; all they could do was move the library into the storage in the back of the gym. Zoey had decided to hold another meeting. This one to assign different people groups and tasks, they all came to her office, a few leaders from each clique. She set out the problem and situations.
"Ok, first thing, we need water. Jenny, get on building a filter of some sort." She nodded; she relayed the message back to the rest of the people in her group. "Tom your going to have to find a way for all of us to keep entrained." A tall boy with long back hair nodded, he left a joined his group and began working; "that leaves the nerds, some skaters, the emos, and Goths," she looked around the room, right at the Goths.
"Ok, Lizbeth, you head security, come up with a catchy name for our security group, mainly you guys and emos." That left the skaters, and the Ex-USSR leader E. she looked at the remaining bunch.
"Ok, E, go out on to the floor and find any one who might be useful to train as medics and such," E looked at her and nodded. He left; the skaters where all that was left to assign.
"You guys can continue working in the shop." She said. She sat back relieved, her work was done.
"Ma'am, we have a problem," a Goth ran in.
"What is it?" Zoey looked up
"We're running low on food" he said dolefully.

Gary was inspecting the work on the start of his underground city. He walked around, thinking. 'What to do when the food runs out. What to do. I could send a large group of men into town to get some. That's what I'll do, send men for food.'
He left the underground works and returned to the school. he quickly began working on assembling a task force to go for food. He selected the best twenty men to go. He gave them two reinforced vehicles, and weapons. He know they would suffer loses, but it had to be done. He would personally train these twenty men, to become his personal bodyguard as well.

Zoey's people were starving. They needed food. Hence, she asked Lizbeth task force to prepare for small, hit and run operation in the kitchen. She was going to do some recon first. She left her office with her camera. She went down the tunnel. And now went down the path that lead to the kitchen.
She saw the hatch was cracked open. She went up to it. She saw it was in the freezer.
She snuck out into the freezer, and out into the kitchen. Taking pictures as she went for the squad she was going to send out. She peaked out of the kitchen and took a picture of the lay out. Gary had the tables moved out to barricade windows. The room was empty save for the three guards that patrolled the room and the cook that never slept do to the demand of food. She took a picture of his face. He was now a target for the hit and run, he couldn't be aloud to feed the USSR the guards had to go too. They would, come in. take out the cook. Then systematically take out the guards. Once they're gone, one of the recon will wait by the door, while the rest raid the kitchen.
She returned to the gym. Back to her office and up loaded the pictures and looked them over. She saw the very distinct markings on the guards' uniforms. They we regulars, She had gone back to the school repeatedly, to look around. And she came to under stand the USSR military structure. Zoey hated the thought of having people killed, but if they didn't kill them, they would kill us. So she called up the special. She told them the plan, and she told them the change in their unit leadership. She was going to personally lead th attack.
