After finalizing the report, Sico ensured that all necessary details were included before sending it off to the leadership for review. With that task completed, he felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that their hard work had paid off and that Sanctuary was now better equipped to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents.
The next day, Sico settled into his office, ready to start another day of managing Sanctuary's affairs. With the report for the ID card system completed and sent to the leadership for review, he felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that they were taking proactive steps to enhance security and organization within the community.
As Sico delved into a report about farming activity, he was interrupted by a visit from Mel. Mel's expression conveyed seriousness, hinting at the importance of the matter he wished to discuss.
Mel: "Hey, Sico. Do you have a moment?"
Sico looked up from his report, welcoming Mel with a nod.
Sico: "Of course, Mel. What's on your mind?"
