 Dead Cities and Deader Men (Operative Title)

Day 14 of 30

12/02/2020

Still quiet up here, while nice to have a potential spare, dislike this much company around. Always looking over my shoulder, wondering what I am doing, why am I doing that, makes a brain wonder what is going on behind the other eyes. Are those actually eyes or are they recorders ready to transmit back to The City Receivers once within range. Have to check the outgoing communications, see if anything has tagged along with the automatic updates the systems send out. Would not do to have extra radio use if not necessary.

Review the internal cameras, none of them back there look like they are doing anything. Just sitting, cleaning weapons, sleeping, exercising alone or with others. Looks routine, but is it really? Check, the new potential is in a bunk, looks crashed. No signs of hand signals or talking, so no worries about that, this moment. Will check again later.

Review inventories, stocks, queue up status reports, after action details with footage to go out if the Track is destroyed, so it makes it back to the planners there. If something needs to be modified on the Tracks for other reconnaissance missions.

A while passes, no idea how long anymore. Without the routine of the next Driver coming up, time has little sense or meaning anymore. Proximity detectors, based on size and air pressure displacement, ping, making it seem like something is sneaking up on the back of The Track. Pull up the Tail Gun cameras, nothing to be seen. Will keep watch.

Radar sweeps show no large targets back there. Keep attention to the front and sides. If there is ever going to be a coordinated attack, not happened yet in all the lifetimes spent here, but always wonder when the locals will decide to work together. Scientists say they are all just brute monsters with no brains in them. I am sure they are right, but someday they will all rise up and wipe us out. Almost have before, why would anyone not think it will happen again.

Close eyes for a few moments, just past blink stage. Alerts are on audio for these few moments.
