Having observed this little gathering from the fringes since the beginning, Clarke sees an opportunity for an entrance during a lull in the discussion, and particularly when medical services are mentioned.
"I'm a medic. I'm not a full-fledged physician, but I was trained by one — my mother — and I'm familiar with triage medicine. I can patch up wounds, set broken bones, things like that."
With that said, she turns to the group and addresses them at large. "It's true, it's better if we're more organized and therefore more efficient, in case we have a repeat of the event that just happened after the lighthouse. We don't know anything about whether these spirits will attack again, and if the lighthouse keeper somehow is or isn't involved, and whether she'll provoke them or not." She purses her lips, before going on: "But in my experience, a single leader isn't going to be able to do the job alone. It's already been suggested that a committee might work, and I agree with this — we informally appoint a group of leaders, a small faction who can delegate and run several different aspects of tasks we need. Like a council, if you will; we can appoint someone to strategize, someone to organize defense, someone to train, someone to heal.
I think having more than one person in charge, ensures that the burden of leadership doesn't fall on just one single person's shoulders. Because that can be overwhelming, when the chips are falling."
