Also a good point... but the locals don't actually have the excavation gear to make digging out that mountain worthwhile...  ^-^

They don't..  but can sell that data..  to someone who might..
and you've gotten in, what to stop them from breaching it..

The trick is that even the nearest locals are hundreds of kilometers away.  It's going to be fingers crossed Al Mazrea is too busy settling the succession to look any deeper than "the jeep was burning when we left".  The real trick will be once they're stable enough to send an expedition to Rabigh...  ^-^

I was a little busy this weekend watching the cut scene "movie" of God of War: Ragnarok with my 18-year old... I'll try to get an update out next weekend.

So, Daryk, is this a group-game, or a personal story run solo? Just curious. You had me at "Anton's Revolt" and sealed it with "Regulan Hussars" by the way.
Thought I might get a rocket ride when I was a child.          We are the wild youth,                                And through villages of ether
But it was a lie, that I told myself                                          Chasing visions of our futures.                   Oh, my crucifixion comes
When I needed something good.                                         One day we'll reveal the truth,                    Will you sing my hallelujah?
At 17, I had a better dream; now I'm 33, and it isn't me.      That one will die before he gets there.       Will you tell me when it's done?
But I'd think of something better if I could

So the base they nearly died getting to,  has it been fully explored or they just found a small outpost?   Given the effort near cutting to bloody edge experience the unit went through.  I'm curious which direction they'll be able go to.

The "base" they were headed to IS that underwhelming outpost.  The current Major Skinner talked his brother into it, though he hasn't (and won't) share that with anyone.  It was entirely wishful thinking that an Outlying Landing Field would be a major find.  Don't get me wrong... it IS pretty amazing for 3025, but it's more burden than bonus at this point.  Truly a dilemma...  ^-^

Hey in his brother defense, the only Los Tech stories anyone hears is OMG we found a old Star League hide, and score Mech, Vehicles and/or equipment and was worth $$$$.   How often do you hear, we found a old Star League Hide, and it was nothing but "paper record" storage where the dehumids failed so u had lots of paper mush files..

I'm going to give TinyOzora at least another week to deliver his own "you're not supposed to be here" lecture before moving on...  8)

If Failure16 wants to jump in as anyone up to and including Sergeant Major Shaan, I'm also game...  ^-^

F16: you have proven you can voice Senior NCOs quite well (even though I know you weren't one)!  :thumbsup:

That's because I was always getting in trouble by them. But I was way too punk-rock back then, too, and felt the need to point out their rhetorical deficiencies...

And I was raised by one, of course. I did not point out his rhetorical deficiencies.  ;D


I'll tell you what, Big D: Give me some sort of behind-the-scenes briefing and I'll see if we can't get something going, at least in the short term. ;)
