Petra and the Supply Column are at Celestial Falls and the Troopers are doing a sweep of a subdivision across 216 near the park entrance

I know there isn't one there but I put one there for the story

Jain let fly two shafts in quick succession each flying as if laser sighted to bury himself deep in the eye sockets of two shufflers on the outskirts of the sweep and rode to Maisy who held a map and looked it over. It was like any map with unlegended additions the Red could be anything.

Find out if these houses have been cleared if not then put them on warning and have them swept with care, double team the first one and if it turns out to be a stash point do the others and Inform me of their contents.

Sorry if I’m putting a lot on you Maisy but when I called home on the Sat phone the Council in their hindsight have decided that we needed to include a contingent from Fort Stevens under Trevor their Commander’s son, you might remember him and his people during the Forging games (Counting Coup War Games)

Can’t say I like it. They have their own style which I’d call Pioneer Troops whose best trick is the Ambush or Counter Ambush but we’ll see if he and his people recognize my authority.

Jain sighs and leans back and looks into Maisy’s eyes her voice going into a softer tone.

[color/seagreen]Should have been the other way around, you should be in command and me as second but the dole it out and I took a portion so I need to finish it.

I didn’t even have time to blow off steam before I come along, if you want to convene a change of command hearing and take over I’ll not squawk[/color] Jain finishes with a chuckle

Petra like her people was laughing as Candy wrestled with Ursula who seemed to be enjoying the sport but she and her Ramrod also kept a weather eye out for trouble knowing as anyone who wanted to live old enough to have grandchildren to keep their eyes open for danger always.

The teamsters had an advantage over the troopers being surrounded by dogs and horses with sharp senses which was why the Muleskinner indulged in the horseplay with her kids as she called them because everyone of them was green as grass. She loved everyone of them like siblings and her the elder sister but she was a Nordic woman and tough love was almost in her DNA or at least in her upbringing.

Oh how her mother would have loved to hear her called Petra as she had wanted to call her from her birth but living in the US had made her compromise and chose Amelia.

Her mom was tough and also kind having been born in Rotterdam and her values Danish which was a mixed bag of perceived permissiveness and authority. Add to that the fact that her home was in the center of the Cavalry school and it would be easy to understand why Petra was a blend of Drill Instructor / Big Sister / Bosslady.

When the gunfire erupted it put a stop to any fun as without a word of command her people began loading packs to animals as Billy stood watch with a Satsuma by a tepee of the same in case Risen appeared. It was like watching an assembly line her people worked so smoothly as she sat astride her mount with her lariats at the ready and her people knew how seriously she took the shot as she sat in silent observation.

Re-quoting this from a couple OOC pages back @Poi since I'm still a bit confused about the plan with the map, and I'm hesitant to post before getting a clearer picture

@FortunesFaded

I was waiting for it to be mentioned to Jain and letting the group figure it out till then

I know we are very military but not so much that we each don't have our own freedom

Some people don't know this, however gold makes a better conductor then copper. So anyone working on tech would most likely be willing to trade a rare tool or gun for gold.

@Dnafein

Oh the techs have buckets of the stuff, the older Risen came with all their jewelry and once they stressed the need for silver and gold collection it began in earnest. Some techs use Diamonds to etch things

I know some might think "What a Diamond!" but practical people would give you a bucket of the stuff for a useful and rare tool or gun

I can see some wearing glittery things in town but in the wilderness, the flash can be seen at a distance

Trevor's group from Fort Stevens is joining us soon

So we will camp at the falls one more day so that we can cache any critical supplies, wiring and plumbing can be retrieved by whoever Lasthope sends to pick up all the lovely goods.

We will take the Jewelry with us because it is light trade goods and some people still hold it in regard.
