I just got a quick archaeology lesson from the NaNo forums. Now my characters know what the hell they're supposed to be carrying, and that's gonna add like a whole chapter to each of the resupply runs they have to make (and because I'm a bastard, they have to make several, because they keep losing everything).

21k on the nose. I've got a major, major scene coming up (Poor Benevici -- I made it much, much worse), and I think I'm gonna save it for tomorrow.

Gee, I'm really not being as harsh to my characters as usual. Hell, I even have a nice, happy ending where only about a million people die in a way that DOESN'T involve nuclear weaponry!
