"We should go." I said, breaking the silence. "The sooner we start, the sooner we're back inside the barrier."
I began distributing the supplies among the group, taking most of the heavy items for myself. My enhanced strength allowed me to carry most of our equipment with ease, though the others protested when I attempted to take too much.
"At least let us pretend we're contributing." Phinyx joked, taking back a pack I'd tried to add to my load.
Once everyone had something to carry, we stood, each of us taking what we needed for the mission. Coco had already given us each a canteen. Kira's seeds and tools hung from a belt at her waist. Finn carried multiple maps and some silver. Phinyx had insisted on bringing tools for meditation, claiming they would "improve the vibes" of our expedition. I didn't argue, if it gave him comfort, it was worth the weight… even though I knew there would be no meditation happening in the wasteland
