Bk1: Ch11: Pg17
Charlotte: Dr. Zhang had developed a prototype weapon.
1b.
Charlotte: We were transporting the prototype to Martin Air Force Base for production.
Maeye: So there's a badass super-gun in there?
Charlotte: Not exactly.
2a.
Charlotte: A badass super-suit.
Maeye: Ooooo.
2b.
Charlotte: We've known for years that electrical currents dissipate the Horde's magic.
Charlotte: Early in the war we strapped everything from laptops to toasters to our chests and ran around with car batteries
on our backs.
3a.
Charlotte: Dr. Zhang was able to improve on the concept. This suit and helmet emit electrical frequencies that completely
disrupt 90% of the Horde's magic.
Charlotte: The suit also can fire concentrated frequency blasts that weaken and slow most any Horde creature within the blast radius.
Charlotte: Most importantly, the helmet makes the wearer immune to mind control influences from the Mind Flayer and Succubus type demons.
3b.
Arayanna: That's incredible.
Arayanna: How is it powered?
Charlotte: Rechargeable power supply. Each charge gets you about 4 hours of solid combat. We're still working on improving that.
Maeye: That is badass.
4a.
Arayanna: So all you need to do to complete your mission is to get these prototypes to Martin Air Force Base?
Charlotte: Yes. Losing Dr. Zhang will set us back considerably, but as long as we have the plans and the prototypes we
should be able to begin with production.
4b.
Maeye: So we just call down to the Air Force base and have them come pick you up.
Arayanna: But what if you are right about the Horde spies? Wouldn't they just intercept you again?
5a.
Maeye: Wait...
Arayanna: Maeye, what's wrong?
Maeye: What about OZ?
5b.
Charlotte: What about him?
Maeye: Who controls OZ? If the military is compromised, does that mean OZ is, too?
Arayanna: Oh my...
6a.
Charlotte: There is no OZ terminal in this room. He cannot hear us at the moment.
Charlotte: Even if he is not compromised directly, there are records of all OZ activity stored in a central database.
Charlotte: Sooner or later, somebody will notice I am here.
Maeye: And if it's the wrong somebody...
6b.
Arayanna: I think we have to leave.
Charlotte: I agree. We should go off-grid until we figure this out.
7a.
Arayanna: Maeye, you are in charge of clothes and provisions.
Arayanna: Charlotte, weapons and camping supplies.
Arayanna: I'll get the vehicles ready then help Maeye with the provisions.
Arayanna: Meet in the garage as soon as you are ready.
Charlotte: Good.
Maeye: On it!
7b. Loading the truck
Maeye: So much for vacation in paradise.
Arayanna: Don't worry love, we're going to a different kind of paradise. I think you'll like it.
Maeye: But I was only half way through season 5 of House.
Arayanna: Oooo, good show. Olivia Wilde. Rrrrrr.
Charlotte: I packed an tablet. We'll find a way to get you your shows.
8a.
And we are back!! Finally!! 😀
Nice way to return in style…that trailer could use a turret though, or at least a pedestal mounted 40mm 😉
Is that Batman riding in the trailer?
