Hey Colonel. Are we getting on the road soon? We damn well better. Status report, corporal. The Special Forces and the Clan Scouts are ready to go, with all gear loaded, M'am. I thought it was the HSA holding us up. We leave in 15 minutes, with or without them. Jack's activated his pistol, and the chip says... he's already in Central Oregon. Geez Louise! These roads are a mess! I didn't really realize how much the Alliance and the Yakamas had done to clean up all the beforetime flotsam...
