I did not ask why food and beds were not provisioned ahead of time, although some should have been. If the workers are going in and out, then there should not be a problem getting food and blankets in. Certainly when the fate of a nation depends on 600 people, the country would want them fed, and fed well, with Kobe beef if that is what they needed to keep up their stamina. It sounds to me like they were almost locked into the building though and were not leaving. You could have a shielded vehicle and drive to the door if they are opening doors. I personally can not think of a reason not to feed these men and/or women properly, and that includes the executives making them some nice delicious meals that they bring in themselves or program a robot to or whatever. mg
