I'm probably going to throw up another post at the end of today (GMT) when I get back from work to move us along. I'll introduce the trio of new pilots and GEARs in the same post - my rationale will be that the Landcruiser picked the three of you up, or you were dropped off by an air transport while we were on the mission, but comms issues (the infamous badlands magnetic distortions) kept anyone from telling us. But, once the helicopter arrives, you can be filled in on what's going on, as can the [i]Claw[/i] in general, and move in to support us. That'll bring us neatly to the end of the sortie, and move us towards the next part of the storyline, and what will start the main plot rolling.
