Okay everyone this is a map of Arlington Oregon said Jain as she laid out her map
"We had trade with five traders who used 84 hwy 6 years ago and said there was an active town here and our duty is to verify if those reports are true." said Jain pointing at her hand drawn map.
The map was on treated leather that had bleached it nearly white and made for tough maps if properly taken care of; it was as a little thicker than heavy paper and in equal stack heavier physically as well. Her ink was made of boiled bark that rendered a black oil that didn’t bleed beyond the stroke of her calligraphy set’s nibs. It wasn’t the precision art of a draftsman’s board but her details copious.
”April and Rafe I want you two here at 45.701830, -120.253558 at 615 hours and 45.713585, -120.232677 at no later than 900 hours which is the beginning of the wind farm that follows a set of ridges on the west side of Arlington. You will verify if they are being used as observation posts or have potential active camera’s, we use em why shouldn’t others that have access to electricity.
We will establish a base camp here at 45.713861, -120.245335 Jones Canyon at 1400 hours which I need you Maisy to hold with the pack train and Troopers in reserve till I give the call to bring them up slow or hard. I know it’s boring but that why I need you to ride herd on them and am sure the Petra will be helpful in assisting as far as the train is concerned.
Hector you will be her second in Command and in charge of the reaction force in case I want it hard and fast.
Doctors please prepare anything you need in the result things get rough, hopefully you two’s worst case is saddle sores and that better not be the trooper’s fault.
The Scouting force will be eye blind* by 2000 hours and be confined to camp till launch no fires
We will proceed in force up Jones Canyon screened by our Marksmen both sides at 100 hours the moon is in it’s waxing 3rd stage so enough light to see but not too far. she looks up at April as she moves her finger to near the next marked point.
Our forces will stop short of here which I’m calling Jones Canyon Ranch at 45.691284, -120.233462 where we will wait while Vicky and Billy see if it’s a working ranch.
If it isn’t occupied we will proceed to the wind farm and this is where it will get tricky if it is because I need April’s force along with the Marksmen to trot it out of the area to what appears to be a gravel mine of something of that nature; I couldn’t find a listing.
Here you will divide your forces April's will move East along Rattlesnake road’s southern side under power lines for about 3/4s of a mile where you will encounter Hwy 19 and cross if it safe. Your next Marker will be the Slatt Substation which might have active personal so avoid using it as more than a turning point.
Here at 45.709041, -120.153846 is what looks like it was a marshalling yard for the windmill engineering branch and surrounded by a strong cyclone fence which may or may not presently be fortified but is near the Airport road which you can use to speed up navigation. To what appears to be one of those dirt strip types so it was never what you call active but still has machine shops.
The runway is oriented North-Northwest and at its northwest end is a ridge point that will give you height and observation of the town and the up river view of Hwy 84 past the town. All totalled it will be a good six mile run for you and yours across open terrain because that side of town is dry scrub so I’d try to be in position about an hour before daylight which should be about 730 hours.
Once you’re there April you’ll have the catbird’s seat because the sun will be behind you. Jain chuckles looks at Billy and Vicky
You two will find a good overwatch position anywhere you feel fuzzy but I need you on observation of any gate on Hwy 19 because that’ll be the direction I will use for my approach to parlay.
I will be in position at 45.705640, -120.203864 here at Sunrise on this point where I can observe April’s point and she mine where I will maintain till 900 hours and initiate radio contact 3231 beeps countersign 1 okay 3 wait. If your signal is wait I will hold till 1030 hours before proceeding or aborting; 1 okay 3 abort
Jain left the map open and looked around her group and chuckled
Now before anyone points out how this could all be a waste of preparation because no one’s home, Plans go to shit or whatever negative comment I have to say I have weighed everyone of them but I am human and there might be flaws you see that I don’t.
So as they say Speak now or Forever bound in Peace
This event is the day before the launch of the contact with Arlington
