New orders, back in safe territory. Las Vegas actually. We got airdropped courtesy of the U.S. Navy into the Maccaran International  (apparently the pilot couldn't be arsed to land). Have my jeep a Humvee and a few weeks of supplies. Orders are to check on a relay station from the ground, and then head further east into Utah and Wyoming to check out some sites that went dark just recently.

The Nevada because for the last month there's been a massive, stationary sandstorm obscuring observation by air and the black mountain array went offline, they think it might be connected, and apparently there was nothing better to do than drop four people out of an airplane into Nevada.... We're rolling out of Vegas tomorrow. It's nice to be in a place that acts like absolutely nothing happened though. Caesars Palace is lovely all things considered. Always wanted to come here. Vegas I mean.
