Ch.2 Exxon Pumping Station #31

October 1986. Contact with Exxon Pumping Station #31 in British Columbia has been lost and a rescue team has been assembled.

The environmental activist group, North Wind, had threatened to bring operations to a halt. Could they be behind this sudden communication failure, or is something else going on?

"Some of us wont survive a direct attack.." Gavin taps his splint,"In the chaos, 'some' of us can escape." taps his splint again." Sais it before, law of the jungle, leave the lame behind, 'all adequate military training'?", looking at Bill , "Well kid, they are pretty well saying we are FUBAR'D!" Shaking his head he looks at Harold, "Well fuck you very much!

Randy looked visibly taken aback. "Gavin, we're not going to leave you behind. Period. Or anyone else. And we've survived this far, we can make it through this. As a team. I haven't spent all that time bandaging you all for anyone to die on me now. "

Harold could see that his remark had caused a lot more harm than good.

If we’re lucky, whatever is out there won’t come for us at all until we’re long gone.

And Gavin, you’re the wilderness survival expert. If we had to make an escape, we literally couldn’t afford to leave you behind. Not that we would want to leave anyone behind.

I’m just saying, if we’re going to be in dangerous circumstances like these, we have to plan for the worst and protect our resources. The last thing anyone wants is to be caught unprepared. We’re not a bunch of careless teenagers in one of those dumb horror movies. We’re smart, and we know how to work as a team, and we’re going to get through this.

That's what I would choose too, but Amanda is in charge, so the decision is hers.

"Cellar it will be, but I want to make sure there are only two reasonable entry points. Clear? All others, we put everything we can find to close them up."

"Also, military leadership isnt efficient here... The situation has developed beyond such authority. Democratic arragement will improve our cooperation, the enemy is unpredictable and has us in the numerical disadvantage, strict code following will kill us all."

Randy nodded agreement with Amanda.

"Sounds fair to me. And I'm sure we can block any unwanted extra entrances."

"Traps or warnings like Boyd suggests are an excellent idea. I'm sure we can come up with a few ideas. Harold's engineering skills or Gavin's woodman's knowledge might be a help here."

"String trip wires tied to cans is a scouting favourite. Anyone see any string or something like it in here?"


OOC:   Any obvious string or twine or cord or thin wire in the garage? And any cans or other stuff like tins that could be used to make noise if tied to a trip wire?

Gavin casts his eyes around the room. Still a little riled up from the previous conversation he doesn't see anything. "Nothing obvious to me, but if any of yous see anything, I'll take a look."

"Good idea," says Benjamin. He looks around and manages to scrounge some useful things to set up alarms or traps.
