Worse Than the Disease

The exiles camp down in the shadow of a rocky overhang. The night is cold and windy. From the elevated position, the group can truly see how dark the countryside is at night. No glint of fire or glimmer of movement can be seen with the naked eye. Even the animals are still.

(OOC: No random encounter tonight.)

DAY 9

The next morning, the exiles eat and prepare to hike the last 5 miles.

(OOC: Eat a ration for breakfast. You earn 3 Character Points for reaching the radar base!)

It takes only another 2 hours before the exiles finally reach their intended destination; the radar base at the top of the mountain. From the outside, it looks deserted but fortified. Someone has installed a new fence around the perimeter...over 6 months ago. A satellite is on the roof, casting a shadow over the valley below.

Decay has set in, and comprised the means used to keep people out, however.
The locking dock is relatively wide open, thanks to a break in the fence. A tunnel has been dug out around the east side from the outside, leading somewhere slightly below the main base. One part of the west side has been submerged in rain water to the point of looking like an old world swimming pool.
