Nellis Air Force Base: Hanger 3
Joint finds Major Peterson in the hanger that the civilians had been moved out of. Nobody seems to mind as Joint entered the hanger, which has now become living space for the law enforcement and military personnel. One area in the corner has some bedridden people lying on cots.
The Major is in full battle dress wearing body armor, armed with both a pistol and an assault rifle from the M-16 family of weapons. Joint overhears what is being said as the Major points to several points on a map of the base. Most of the base has been shaded red.... “Ok we gotta hold barricades 14, 10, and 12 for just two more days. By this time tomorrow the transports will be back, and as soon as they land they’ll be prepped for a near immediate turn around. Once they go those of us still hear will head out to Area 51.” The major goes on for a few more minutes answering questions from the troops. The troops then disperse to wherever they are going.
The Major sees Joint and directly ask the much bigger man a question. “What the fuck are you still doing here? I figured you would have stolen something and be gone by now.”
[Private to Arani Vasingis: Yes, you kinda know that the base is slowly being overrun by the Zombies, every day the military troops lose a little bit of ground as the Zombie get past a particular barricade. But it has been decided the less the civilians know, the less panic there will be.
You can walk up and join the convo if you want.]
