Rime, Ruby and Chomper arrived through the portal dragging three leaf sleds laden with fresh fish and shellfish. Around them, the refugees were chatting and eating.
"Thanks for the help, Chomper and Ruby!" Rime said.
Two civilians helped Rime carry the fish into the freezer.
"We'll need to have Jason scan the foods before we eat them," Mr. Bigmouth said.
"Jason, the plant foods are sitting in the foyer and the fish is in the freezer. Can you please ensure that they are edible by the others?" he asked.

Strut's radio beeped as well and he answered it. "The friendly drones from Arkan AFB are patrolling over the hotel as we speak."
"The combat robots?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.
"Well, they're currently patrolling the hotel grounds but we cannot see them."
A Malamute soldier had a laptop open and the view showed the view of surf Point's ground area through the eyes of the combat robot. "We will eventually need to reload their weapons," he said.
