Brownout Part I: Into the night

"I certainly hope you are right Mr. Masin. I can only imagine what must be so important, or dangerous that destroying an entire town is what someone thinks is appropriate."

"My money is on little green men or on some kind of virus, like in Outbreak, but it would have to be something fierce to warrant a nuke. Surely they'd use a MOAB or something, like hellfires, unless it was a dire threat." Ben fidgets with the batons.

"I think these are going to be worthless here. Compared to nukes, even those fancy machine guns we're toting won't mean squat."
 

Adrian: You manage to get the onboard computer to start transmitting a false signal. Whether or not the guys on the other end believe it, though, you don't know.

Everyone: Mile marker 39 is illuminated by the humvee's headlights. Around you is an open field spanning for miles on both sides of the road.
 

Ben

Ben gets out and starts poking around, particularly near the mile-marker.

Yelling back to the Humvee, "Maybe they've got some kind of tracker gizmo for whatever the dude stole?"
 

Father Flannigan will hop out of the Humvee and look around, stretching his back. "It looks like we are alone for now. Shall we find some shovels? I must admit my curiosity is peaked."
 


Jaque gets out of the Humvee and walks around the back of it, opening the rear door to remove something from his backpack.
He puts his night-vision goggles on, but leaves them resting on top of his head.

"I suggest we use our night-vision goggles rather than keep the Humvee's lights on, yes?" he instructs everyone, "White light can be seen for great distances. We do not need any more attention than what we have already had, lest they decide to drop a missile on this mile marker."

Jaque then takes his M16A2 and tries to attach his snap-on scope to the carry handle, doing his best to align it properly. He remains behind the vehicle when he activates his night vision goggles, to avoid being blinded by the headlights. He keeps a look out behind the vehicle, half-loaded assault rifle at the ready.
 

"Well, its boradcasting wrong dunno if they'll buy it or not though. "

Adrian reaches over and Snowy hops onto his shoulder.

"My darling here can keep quiet a good eye out while we dig. I'm sure. "
 

"Capital idea Jacques. We don't want to suffer the same misfortune as those poor souls back in town."

Father Flannigan will put on a pair of the NVGs as well, then he'll look throught the vehicle for digging tools, and get to work.
 

Ben

"Think we should maybe move the Humvee down the road a piece if they could be tracking it?"

First, Ben will carefully examine the milemarker and any obvious sites nearby. Then, finding nothing, if some shovels can be found, Ben will start digging away at any loose pieces of soil.
