Interesting, as Macey and Fernando are black haired, and all Indians are black haired with the exception of a couple individuals and none of them are spirits or considered as such. I believe Zoey is too.

No, Fernando does not need any extra tech from what he has or can get. His past works with the "Good Ole American Government" would allow him access to such bases. Getting in is not the problem, getting caught by those individuals inside is. They o not know who he is and wonder how he got in. He could try to bluff his way out or shoot his way out, this remains to be seen.
 
Haibane may not be in this area but will be further south. This is not an issue or a problem.
 
The only military that should go in are those the nearby towns. The Texas Spirits should take note as to who is in charge of what and and negotiate what deals that can be hammered out. They first need to get past the Spirit problem that grips various areas.

Macey is Mid-Western American White. If her genetic ancestry went slightly in one direction or another, she would be blonde haired/blue eyes or red haired/green eyes. But she is black haired hazel brown eyes, like Fernando.
 
Her mother is unknown as she dyes her hair but she has hazel green eyes.

Post well done, Hondo.

Fernando goes to the baker’s shop, giving him thanks for the loan of the pull cart before they head into Tom’s Weapons and Firearms store. For now Hondo watches Fernando as to what he will pick up and then add to it afterwards.
 
“I will need the following:” Fernando begins to tell Tom, “Two of those rocket launcher tubes we used against the slavers, and as many rockets as you can spare. Whether they fire or not, I can deal with that.”
 
“I can only give you six, and even then maybe two of them may work.” Tom says.
 
“I’ll take them.” Fernando asks, knowing that the LAWs themselves will have 2 other rockets in them for a total of 10.
 
“Anything else?” Tom asks.
 
Fernando pulls out his .45 from his shoulder holster, “6 of these if you got them, with a silencer if you have them.”
 
“A silencer?” Tom asks.
 
“It screws into the barrel and quiets down the shot being fired.” Fernando explains as he picks up his firearm and holsters it.
 
“Hmmm... Never heard of that.” Tom says.
 
“OK. Let me see... Those guns I ask for, got them as a boxed package?” Fernando asks.
 
Tom leaves the counter for a second, returning with a musty wooden box with the letters “Colt 1911-M1A USA ARMY” on it, putting it on the counter for Fernando’s inspection. Fernando takes the box and opens it, finding a standard issue 1911 in it with 2 7-round ammunition clips with it and a box of 100 jacketed .45ACP rounds. A couple of tools and a cleaning kit. along with a dried out leather belt holster. He finds a round tube at the bottom of the box, which he recognizes as a silencer. He puts the box together, telling time, “I’ll take six of these boxes if you have them. This one and five more.”
 
“Six? I’ll be back.” Tom says as he leaves.
 
Fernando leans over to Hondo and whispers in his ear, “These military standard issue ones have a silencer, but I’m not saying anything.”
 
Hondo nods back as he looks over the content of the box. He then makes his thoughts known, “These po’ boys have not seen the light of day since they came out the factory. Amazin’ they stood up so well to the test of time.”
 
“It’s the box. It’s made to absorb the moisture in the area, keeping them dry inside.” Fernando says, adding, “These and the ones you got will add to what we need to get to that lab.”
 
“We ain’t going to no lab!” Karl lets out. Fernando and Hondo turns to face him, with much of the others in the shop turning to face them.
 
“Keep you maw shut.” Fernando growls to Karl.
 
“I’m just saying...” Karl begins to say.
 
“Then say nothing.” Fernando says to him as Tom returns with the boxes.
 
“Discussing the items?” Tom asks.
 
“You can say that. How many of those padded vests you got? I’ll take six if you got them.” Fernando says to him as he points to the bullet resistant flack jackets.
 
“Any size in particular?” Tom asks.
 
“The largest ones you got will be fine.” Fernando says.
 
“So, you arming up for a reason?” Tom asks as he brings back the items.
 
”The ride to Texas is long and not without its surprises. I’m just getting a few things for just in case.” Fernando explains.
 
“If you run into other weapons dealer, tell’em that Tom’s Guns of the North sent you. They’ll give you a much needed discount.” Tom says before asking, “Need anything else?”
 
“Got anythin’ that makes a lot of smoke, and some fireworks?” Hondo asks. Fernando nods at hearing the request.
 
“The kids’ stuff is over there. Come.” Tom says as he walks over to the other section. He starts putting up boxes of rockets, smoke bombs, cherry bombs, M-80s, Roman Candles and canon ball rockets (a pipe where a firework is put into and it launched a hundred feet or more and explodes into a fiery bloom). He says as he puts the items on the counter, “Take your pick.”
 
Hondo piles up those items he is interested in, leaving much of the rest behind. Items of choice includes: Cherry Bombs, M-80s and smoke bombs. Fernando slides over a few Roman Candles and rockets. After sliding over the items, Fernando asks, “You got Stink Bombs or Bottled Skunk Scent?”
 
“The Skunk Juice is in the hunting section.” Tom says as he points the way before getting an employee to clean up what is left behind and guides Fernando, Hondo and Karl to the hunting section.
 
As they go there, Hondo asks, “What do you think of the four towns south of here? We would like to make up some time with the longest ride possible going south.”
 
“There’s nothing to the first two towns, they are just like this but smaller.” Tom begins, “The third town is a rough place, unless you want to put up your wessen where and see if he can earn his keep.”
 
“A rough place? Explain.” Fernando asks.
 
“Well, it is where people out their wessens and strong men up to fight for cash. You can’t go far in without at least getting one challenge. If you win, you live another day. If you lose, well, let’s just say you better win.” Tom says.
 
“The caravan stops there though.” Fernando points out.
 
“Of course, they do need food and supplies, you know. And they buy a lot.” Tom explains.
 
“I see.” Fernando says.
 
“What ‘bout the fourth town.” Hondo asks.
 
“Strange place. They let you set up in their parking area and then buy everything you got and tell you to leave before night fall.” Tom says.
 
“Who’s they? They got a name?” Hondo asks.
 
“No. They are just men, never saw a woman there, and they wear these long white coats and dark glasses. We tried to set up a carnival there years ago, they told us to leave.” Tom explains, glancing over to Fernando and realizing that he wears a similar pair of glasses as they do. He continues, “There is nothing of interest there. Just a few short buildings and that it is. No restaurants, bars, entertainment places, and of course, no women. Not even a sex puppy. Who knows what they do? Mining maybe? Don’t know. Don’t care. They just buy food and supplies and that is it. Where they get their money, I do not even know that.”
 
“Do they buy your weapons?” Fernando throws in.
 
“That’s the interesting part because they don’t buy weapons as they got their own. They look like fancy guns and rifles but they do not fire bullets. They do fire lightning from them.” Tom explains, suddenly ending by putting a box of skunk scent on the counter and shows off one of the bottles inside.
 
The bottles of Skunk Scent were small, so Fernando got a couple of box cases of the small bottles. After discussing the items with Hondo, they decide to take what they got and pay for it. They were expecting a heavy bill but Tom discounted the price for them.
 
To save time, Fernando and Hondo bought items to make lunch with to eat later when they get back to camp. To get them quiet, they got their girls something to drink before they head their way back home. Eventually they are going to need their rest for the long drive into the night and still decisions have yet been finalized. The girls had arrived would have arrive when they got to town and would have finished with Karl’s Camper Trailer when they start to head back.

Could be Plasma or Laser. Or it could be a TASER in which they see the electricity course through the wires.
