As if reading Reginald's thoughts, the housing administrator pulled up a document listing items with their point values.
"Here is the current exchange rate for items. We accept supplies in any category, not just food, if that helps. Please take a look," she said, turning the monitor toward the family.
Ella quickly looked at the screen and noticed that a can of food was worth between 4 and 6 points, depending on the type of food. Other items, such as basic medical supplies, were between 8 and 12 points, depending on the specific item.
Reginald also glanced at the list and then asked the housing admin, "Is this a set list, or can the values change?"
The housing administrator nodded. "The values can change weekly, depending on the needs of the base. Items in demand will naturally be worth more than those we have a large supply of."
