That's the kind of thing the players should know. If they do anything with this, then that's up to them. It's also kind of a mishmash since the FEMA Act and other laws have blurred the "firewall" between federal and state authority in a crisis. An oft-mentioned part of the problem after...

I'm not too worried. This was an FYI. So Deep Mole could be the satellite facility under the PMS compound to the North, as far as the PCs know. Or someplace else entirely. Does LT Blanco know about Geronimo? Sounds good. Whatever Handy decides is best. If and when the time comes...

Steve, Good luck, man!

Sounds good. I will write this in when I can. Of course it would be nice to pass on the information to NATO, but this may not be possible. Stephanie has passed on her theory re: bioelectricity to LT Blanco. I recall something to this effect. LT Blanco is hesitant to push her luck...

Deep Mole Bunker Office In the cold concrete-walled office deep beneath the Earth, Max whined. It was creepy and moldy and icky down here. So many smells: metal, dust, old blood, sweat, pain, despair. Madness. Bad smells that hurt his nose. He looked up at Jim. Obviously he twanted...

Okay, so she can confirm that Reynolds is RAF. Of course, the reciprocal is that Micheal can personally vouch for her. As far as it goes for someone you just met! Pops would like one like the one he carried in Nam. If he's a geek, he can be buried with it. She'll look into it before she...

I was thinking of the future, after the mad dash to Omaha and (hopefully) a return. In that case we can take our time and scout a route a little better to wherever we're going. One great thing about the USA is a the well-developed road net. I don't know if I mentioned this specifically...

Ah, okay. Thanks! Will do. I was wondering if this was an office in the T-Bone or not, but it's in the "Deep Mole" bunker. I am unsure of the layout. There are 3 upper "store-house" levels? Then a locked gate, and an elevator down to a lower complex where there are barracks, a kitchen and...

Well? How does LT Blanco know her? Also, nerotoxins (nerve agents) work by inhibiting bio-electrical signals through the body and nervous system, causing almost instantaneous death via asphyxiation (as all the muscles in the body lock up smiultaneously, including the heart and lungs). The...

Nerves jangling from stress, fatigue and hunger, Erica continued inspecting her craft. She walked back along the right side of the fuselage (closest to the T-Bone) to the side engine maintenance hatch behind the passenger compartment. Popping it open, she stuck her head inside to look at the...

Welsh, I would be almost but not 100% sure they couldn't crack digital encryption. This is odd, because domestic terrorism from right-wing groups has certainly plagued the USA in the past. If I were a cynical man, I would say that the conservative government is perhaps being cautious...

Sounds good. Whenever she tries to connect with the chopper's GPS she gets a "cannot connect" error. No big deal, I was just amused to read that. I'm also a child of the Cold War. I'm running an "alternative history" RPG that takes place 150 years after a nuclear war with the USSR in...

Chapter 2 Notes: 1. The military personnel I've talked to say that Martial Law does not work in the sense that the military tells the "civvies" what to do, and they do it or die. That's a de facto military coup, and thoroughly illegal. Martial Law is a set of legal rules in support of what...

Welsh, Of course! However, the SLBMs carried by the Han class submarines lack either the yield or CEP (size or "Circular Error Probability", IE: accuracy) to successfully take out hardened silos on their own. By using GPS the Chinese can improve their accuracy to the point where they could...

It's good they do have some kind of plan. God knows they need one! If they even do make it up to the Great While North, I'd be glad to give what input I can.

Welsh, You're welcome. I'll have to rely on you to figure out to hits and all, until I get the hang of it again.

Suaside, True enough. Although the game seems to be holding to a certain level of "technical" accuracy. It's easier to overlook the "supernatural" or other elements that are given for the sake of the story. If you don't mind when I point things out, then I won't mind if my suggestions are...

Going through Chapter 1, I have a few notes to make: 1. Chinese nukes cannot reach past the West coast, unless they're SLBMs. Either way, their nuclear doctrine is "minimal creditable deterrence", not "counter-force". That is, they would not even plan on hitting Warren, but on creaming...

After a few hours of poring over topo maps and scouring googlearth, I have found 2 likely airfields to stop at, assuming Erica can get fuel at the T-Bone. Johnson Lake Landing Field is 200 miles away, Hanson Field is 210 miles. Johnson Lake is bigger and has a body of water at it's back...

Jonathan, As a rule of thumb, stored fuel goes bad after a year or so. This is because the volatiles in the hydrocarbons evaporate. Tanks have a pressure release valve to facilititate this. If the pressure is not relieved then stored fuel can even become explosive (in high enough...
