 Dead Cities and Deader Men (Operative Title)

Day 21 of 30

12/11/2020

It is a shame to have to drive away, without being able to get samples or take image of it and the damage that was caused. Would be good to see which weapons did the most damage. Better for other tracks in case they run into another one like it.

“Hey Kid good work again. Go rest some more, will need you up here more to make the final push through.”

He heads back into the main portion of the Track. Shortly it seems that the terrain gets a bit rougher once we are well past the dead monster. I go back and review the existing maps and perhaps a slight course correction to the left of our present track will yield a smoother path. So far things have gone much better than I anticipated.

Overall, this is much smoother and better than I had hoped out pan out. The next few hours are quiet and we make great time in our current mission. I refine the course a little more. A little farther out from the direct line makes for a smoother ride which means we can be at full speed and actually will shave a few hours off the entire trip.

Dump a few more stims and keep it moving. A bit later the Kid makes it back up to the compartment. He brings along some more rations and water. That is a good thing. I do not plan to leave up here until we get back to The City.

I have decided I need to be awake the entire rest of the trip. I can load up on stimulants, but eventually my eyelids will droop and I might fall asleep. I am going to pin my eyelids open until we get back. Wil need to eyedrop them once in a while. But otherwise, this should keep me from being able to doze off, with them wide open the entire next few days.

So he has the wire I asked for. Grab the spray anesthetic and get the eyelid dosed up. Clean off the lid and the wire with an alcohol swab and gently thread the wire across the skin. Take care to not get my eyeball, that would not do. Once I got both of them done, I take some other wires and pull the lids up, so they are kept open. Not a lot of blood really, use the coagulant to make sure.

Ready to make the final run straight to the City, nonstop, no need to worry about rest or anything like that. The compartment has a relief station, so I can be here the entire time, in charge of the situation.
