To call the destruction of Goldenrod anything other than a wasteful tragedy would be foolish. Many good citizens lost their homes or, worse, their lives. Those belonging to the Gathering of the Holy Trio were fortunate. In turn and with gratitude, we will extend our supplies, workforce, and skills to give back to our neighbors. We are not above asking for help from our allies, however. Those who can offer support and further supplies will be appreciated. Medical care, food, and temporary housing will be most welcome.
What the people need right now is a return to normalcy. The very first priority in rebuilding Goldenrod will be putting its citizens back in their homes. But that is not all. We will make sure that this will not happen again. While those responsible are brought to justice, we as a people will bring in consultants to make sure that this doesn’t happen again. We will rebuild, and rebuild right. Measures will be taken and earthquake engineering will be implemented.
Not only will we rebuild homes, but we will also help those within them by rebuilding the hospitals to provide medical care and the department store to revive the economy. The radio tower and the global trading center will also be rebuilt, but first Goldenrod underground will need to be salvaged, reinforced, and repurposed to better serve us as a community in this time of need.
Keep in mind that there will be change. We will take this tragedy and turn it into a clean slate for the city. Let it be known that not all of Goldenrod had been a safe place for us to raise our children and families, but we can use this event to change the environment for the better. The casino will not be rebuilt. In its place, a memorial dedicated to the day Goldenrod was destroyed will be built. The gym will also not be rebuilt. Instead, a theater will be built in its place. This is not to say that we will forget what has been done to innocents.
The people of Goldenrod are strong. We will overcome this. We will never forget what has happened here, but to do anything but step forward would only allow our attackers to take victory in our suffering.
OOC; This will likely be updated after missions have been completed and Goldenrod has been successfully rebuilt.
