Dead Cities and Deader Men (Operative Title)
Day 18 of 30
12/08/2020
About a day closer to The City. Been smoother than I
expected. I had the Kid up here for a better part of a shift. Basically, just letting
him do the major stuff, checking feeds and readings, ensuring the ones in back
were not making problems, reviewing the upcoming route every few minutes and so
on. All pretty routine, for a normal Driver. He being an almost trainee doing On
The Drive work, makes it a bit more realistic. Of course, Driver Training is
mostly out in the vehicles, as like a fourth or fifth Driver, sitting shifts with
different ones. There is some classroom, mostly out here doing the work while
learning as much as possible.
He knows as much or more as I do on Medical, definitely more
on the Guns and a natural on the Aux Panel. He makes it, does not wash out or
stay with Guns, would be willing to Drive with him in the future. No issue
there. Most of us as shifted from Track to Track. No reason to get attached to
any of the others, in case you need to dump them out without an ability to
breath. I check the internal cameras, does not look like they are about to rush
the door, so fine at this moment.
“Kid, gonna go sleep for an hour or two ok?”
He grunts, deep into looking at the specs of the vehicle. I take that as a yes
and grab a spare breathing device, in case he get cute and tries to take over
my spot while I am sleeping. I can hold my breath long enough to wake, use the
relief station, and get back into a bunk before having to put it on. He does
not know that, so I have that advantage for certain.
Grab a spare half eaten ration, gulp it down, two refilled
waters to take back up front and then lay down. Set the personal alarm for a
single hour and crash into sleep nearly instantly.
