Plan 04 used dignified euphemisms per D-11 ("displaced families", "rebuilding", "missing-persons board"). Founder direction this session: go harder. Still fictional — no Ukraine / Gaza / Syria / Sudan etc. proper nouns — but vocabulary now lands: shelter-in-place, bomb shelter, attack, aid coalition, missing-persons board after 47 days.
Per D-09 (mixed tone), the civic-vitality posts stay intact as the counterweight to the new hard-hitting content. Without them, Vesta reads as crisis-only. With them, it reads as civic infrastructure carrying joy and practical coordination through duress.

We're tracking shelter capacity in real time on the door board. Right now 84 of 220 inside North Quarter Community Center, twelve cots open. If you're north of Pine St head here — this is the closest shelter for the rebuilding quarter. Old Harbor neighbors should go to the Council Hall basement, that one is at 31 of 80. Liora is at the door doing intake. Bring water if you can, leave heavy bags by the side entrance. Updates every 30 minutes on the community channel.
Headcount from yesterday's Civic Council survey: 60 families in the rebuilding quarter still need winter blankets before next week. The heating system in their block was cut during the attack last month, the council ordered space heaters but the next delivery is 9 days out. Anyone with extra blankets, drop them at the Civic Square distribution point — we'll match to families who need them most. Damir is logging requests at the door.
Convoy from the international aid coalition is arriving Wednesday at 10am. Inventory: 1,400 winter coats, 800 children's coats, medical supplies including insulin and antibiotics, and 200 portable heaters. Distribution priorities set by Civic Council: families with children first, then elderly residents, then everyone else. Volunteers needed Wednesday morning — sign up at the Council Hall lobby. Bring a thermos and warm boots, the unload takes 4-5 hours.
Yusef has been missing since the harbor attack in April. His mother kept his card on the missing-persons board for 47 days. Yesterday afternoon a neighbor in the rebuilding quarter recognized him at the Community Kitchen — he had been staying at a relative's place in the inland quarter and didn't know his mother had been looking. They're together now at the kitchen. Forty-seven days. The board works. Keep posting, keep checking.
St. Anna's lost the east wing in the attack three months ago. Reconstruction crew started Tuesday — Marek's repair shop is donating two carpenters for the duration, Civic Council approved the funding, and the international aid coalition is covering materials. Estimated finish September 12. Kids are doing class in the auditorium and the gym in the meantime. If you can donate tools or skills (electrical, plumbing, painting), Niko is coordinating volunteers at the Civic Square board.
MOCK_HOTSPOTS — so the red emergency banner was empty when you switched to Vesta. Now hs-vesta-1 (emergency urgency) drives the red banner with the shelter-in-place advisory, Civic Council as official source, capacity numbers updating every 30 min.
The 13 Vesta posts now interleave 8 civic-vitality posts (kids' concert, repair-shop clinic, fishing-net giveaway, Civic Council meeting, WC viewing) with 5 hard-hitting posts (bomb shelter capacity, aid request, international convoy, missing person found after attack, school reconstruction). Per D-09 mixed tone, neither dominates.
The demo climax beat now lands harder. Founder switches selector to Vesta → red shelter-in-place banner up top → feed shows bomb shelter capacity post → scroll → school reconstruction post → scroll → St. Anna's spring concert (the kids are still singing the harbor song). The arc: "civic infrastructure carrying joy AND practical coordination through duress."
