"Lord?""Brother Seif, we been waiting for your report.  Our comrades have finished their much belated noon-rest and are eager to move.  What news you you bring?""We have cleared the lower town of Ghosts. One survivor found. He says Warlord Muro may have captured our target.""Muro?"  "Describe the 'injured caravan'." The Elder leaned forward. "The caravan, had one medium weight crawler  painted the color of rust and two dune runners.  They caravan's crew had ten men and five women. The crew said they were attacked and they were forced to abandon two of their crawlers and that their attackers destroyed and killed the remainder of their escort. The vehicles were shot at and they claimed that the crawler's engine was failing.""What number was written on the Martian Union's Insignia?""531."[sblock=Brian]531 was the Union Local located near the foundry that Brian works at.  It  was relocated a few months ago with the majority of its population being re-incorporated into Locals 310, 500, and 530.[/sblock]"Hmm, were they carrying any cargo?""They had little in terms of cargo.  They claimed they were forced to abandon most of it when they fled,  and unfortunately, they did not allow us to inspect their goods, but from what we were able to see they carried several crates filled with produce."Lord Burroughmeister was silent for a brief moment. "Brothers, I am certain that those were our crawlers, however, we had but two sisters within that crew and I fear the worst has happened to our brothers and sisters."  The Vice-chairman sighed. "If we only had access to a Transport Guild's airships or an aerodyne so we can be certain of of what's left of that caravan.""You guys, I'm still getting that transmission! In code! From the bunker! It might mean they're still alive!""Praise to great spirit! Tell my people that it is safe for them to leave our shelter." *Mutnts 'r' ded. ur eldr alive. can we com in?*Dah-di-di-dit.  Di-di-Dah.
