Hondo followed behind Fernando. Hondo mumbled something under his breath.
 
Fernando: well?
 
Hondo: Well what?
 
Fernando: I heard you muttering.  Might as well speak up.
 
Hondo: #$@!in' air pirates. Guess James was right, but the labs not knowin' anythin' 'bout Val?!
 
Fernando: That lab rat doesn't necessarily know everything that is happening there or the other labs.
 
Hondo: an' now Jastrey knows who we are an' were we are from.
 
Fernando: Sorry, I didn't have time to warn you. I figured you could handle it, though.
 
Hondo: Yeah, no worries there, just not sure I like anyone else havin' that info especially with whats happenin'. Might make them destroy Val just to get at us. It leaks an' we have a time incident on our hands.
 
Fernando: I trust her, but if anything does happen we will handle it. Don't worry. Never forget who we are and what we can do. Anyone who tries to stand against us will pay.
 
Hondo: Its hard to remember sometimes. You know what she means to me.
 
Fernando: I believe I do.
 
Hondo: Just a bit lost without her.
 
Fernando: Just focus on getting her back.
 
Hondo: I'm tryin' too. Just gettin' restless. Ready to go bust heads.
 
Fernando: All in good time, but busting heads does sound like fun. That will have to wait. For now . . .
 
Hondo: I know, I know. Lets get the laptop.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

As Moro and Jade look for Jeanette and Penny, they pass by the commotion. Moro hears part of what was said. What got her attention is what Jason said.
 
Though Jason has done nothing but talk about his lost relatives, he has not come to Moro about them.
 
"Jason." Moro approaches. Jade follows.
 
Jason turns around. "Moro, correct?" Jason sees Jade's black feathers and steps back from the "curse."
 
"Yes." Moro answers. "You're looking for lost relatives? Why didn't you come to me?"
 
"You are able to find them?" Jason maintains his distance from the "curse."
 
"Even on a bad day we are able to locate anyone in the world within minutes but only if we have that person's life sign on file. Have any of your lost relatives lived in Charlton or know of any other reason why their life signs would be on file?"
 
Note:
 
What were the ages of the relatives at the time they went missing?

Note (Historical):
 
There had been several times when the Trailer group had its members mysteriously disappeared from them.
 
Eight years ago:
 
Twins Nina and Leela (age 14) - on a simple shopping expedition in a place called Trader’s Ville, these two girls disappeared from view in a crowded market bazaar. They were last seen they were with some non-descript male in his late 20s. He was wearing a denim and leather jacket, nearby “Chopper Bike” with a “Peanut” Gas Tank.*
 
Later that day (night actually) Ellis (age 16) – disappeared while the group was looking the missing girls with the rest of the ‘Family.’ He was part of the search team they made.
 
These disappearances happened in a place called “Junk Town,” a town next to a large land fill where many miners mine the fill for what they can get out of it, and there are often disputes for “claims” on the fill. Junk Town is about 800 miles south of Fight Town.
 
This was the first disappearances when the group “acquired” their trailer a couple of years before. They claim that the trailer was on the side of the road abandoned and they recovered and repaired it, adding to it as during the next couple of years. After fitting their first trailer with beds, they sold two of their 3 pick-up truck campers before the disappearances happened.
 
 
Six years ago:
 
“Uncle Ned” (age 42), “Aunt Sheri” (age 35), and “Tiny Tina” (age 12) – disappeared on a parts finding mission for the tractor. It is unknown who disappeared first but it is presumed that Tina was the first victim with Sheri and Ned disappearing while looking for her. Though not broken down, the trailer was showing problems which could have been fixed with parts they would have gotten at Parts Town. The rest of the group managed to limp the tractor trailer back into town and found their camper truck in a parking area but no signs of three individuals. Parts Town is 150 miles east of Junk Town, just of the other side of the landfill. “Uncle Ned” was the chief mechanic of the group.
 
At the time there was a purge happening.*
 
 
Five years ago:
 
“Papa John” (Age 65+ - leader of the group) – disappeared while on a supply run in the same town of the Twins’ disappearance (Trader’s Ville). At the time he had several 1oz gold ingots the group had mined during the week before. It is said that “Papa John,” who did have a gambling problem, went to poker game which he never came back from. “Papa John” was on his last legs, having “The tremors” (Early Parkinson’s), a nasty cough (from smoking and breathing in fume while smelting metals), and other health issues though he was mentally intact and sharp. He had to walk with a came and had a firearm with him at all times but he was very slow on the draw due to his heath condition. At the time before his disappearance, Jason took Papa John to the card game and was told to return to get him after a couple of hours. Papa John was the leader of the group.
 
Teens Liza (15), Beth (13), Milly (14) and Michael (15) – disappeared while shopping for various goods, particularly clothing, and home supplies. They failed to return after nightfall and after several days of searching, little information was found about them. They were last seen they were with some non-descript male in his late 20s near a bar in the seedy side of town. He was wearing a denim and leather jacket, nearby several “Chopper Bikes” with “Peanut” Gas Tanks.
 
 
Four year ago:
 
Wendy (age 24, Jason’s wife at the time) – disappeared while in trade and shopping expedition.  Though in such expeditions, no one goes alone. Jason went with her but when she found her trader she trades smelted goods for money and supplies, Jason went off to play in a card game. Wendy would find Jason in a private card game and stood behind him. He showed her his hand of a Flush, bragging how he was going to win the pot. When called, he put down to show his cards and started reaching for the money. But the other player put down his cards showing a royal flush of Hearts. Thing is, Jason’s Flush had a King and a Ten of Hearts, and he stated that the other player cheated. Jason was found in a back alley severely beaten and was taken to the hospital where he remained for several weeks recovering from his injuries. Wendy, her money, smelted goods or traded items was nowhere to be found.
 
 
Notes:
 
“Chopper Bike” with a “Peanut” Gas Tank – Highway gangs tend to have large gas tanks on their motorcycles in order to cover the large distances on the highway over a long period of time (days, if not weeks without refueling). A “Peanut” gas tank can only hold a couple gallons, which means the motorcycle can only cover short distances over the course of a day or two, then they need to refill their tiny fuel tank. The only ones to use motorcycles with peanut tanks are Slavers for scouting and ‘Prey pointing’ missions. They tend to travel in a group of 2 or 3, with one or two trucks nearby.  
 
Historical Slavers Purges – as odd as it may sound, due to the distance involved, the purges done was by a different Slaver Group and not by the Former Slavers of Slavia, once lead by Biggus. The Slavers communities did have a communications network where they can trade and barter for slaves (human, wessen and mutants) but this was rather a loosely knitted network.
 
Though not related to each other, they were connected together as a family of sorts, there are some individuals that are/were related. Wilma and Wendy were cousins in an almost sister-like relationship, Ned and Sheri were married and Tina was their child. Ellis was the brother of Liza and cousin of Beth. Michael and Milly were not related but they were very close and at times inseparable. Wilma now acts as Jason’s wife in a very limited marriage relationship. Papa John was related to Jason and Ned but Jason will not explain how they were related. The group went by several last names over the years, including: Giles, Lattimore, MacIntosh, O’Brian, Smith and other last names.  
 
It is very doubtful that any of these individuals would be found alive or dead. If those who survived were turned into Wessens, their memories would have been erased. And once converted into a Wessen, it is nearly impossible to track that person down.
 
This note only covers disappearances. It does not cover deaths, accidents or individuals of the group who had left the group for personal reasons.

“We are just simple Mining Folk. None of us had ever went south of Colorado or Kansas.” Jason tries to worm his way into a deal. “And except for emergency hospital visits in various towns, I do not think such things were recorded on a file somewhere.”

Note:
 
I don't know enough about Wesens to know if their life signs would change or remain the same. If there is no change and if the Texas Spirits have that pattern in their data bank, all the Texas Spirits would have to do is scan for that person and that person would be found.
 
RPG:
 
Moro is not given much to go on. "Emergency hospital visits? By any chance were any of these hospitals along the Charlton Railroad?"
 
"Charlton Railroad?" Jason racks his brains. "That's the railroad that has those fancy passenger trains that pulls into the train station every forty minutes except for Saturdays?"
 
"The more remote areas are every forty minutes. Yes, that's correct."
 
"We paid visits to hospitals in towns along that railroad."
 
"If you can provide me enough information on the patients that you provided to those hospitals and if that person is still alive, we will be able to find them." Moro does not know if a person will show up if he or she has turned Wesen after the last scan.

Note:
 
The transformation from human to wessen is so invasive to the body there are changes to the life patterns no matter how slight the transformation is. It is a (partial) rewrite of the person’s DNA for one, and physical changes to the body because of that DNA modification/addition.
 
Again, they will not be found. Mainly because of the amount of time elapsed. With the Twins who were 14 when they disappeared 8 years ago would make them 22 year old adults if they are still alive as humans. The changes of their bodies as they underwent puberty would change their life sign patterns.
 
And I’m just pushing the point, in most cases, males are killed in a purge. Sometimes a young male (child or teen) would be kept as there is a “market” for young males. But anyone who is an adult, consider them dead. So “Uncle Ned” and “Papa John” will never be found. If Sheri was kept alive, then it was because she was female. But Ned and Sheri were obviously robbed or “purged” for their money. If their girl Tina was kept alive, chances are she was turned into a sex-kitten. Liza, Beth, Milly and Michael were taken, but if Michael tried to fight off their captors, he would have been killed in front of the girls. Chances are they would have been turned into sex kittens.

RPG:
 
“The laptop is in my camper, I have a few as I was moving them from my old place. What I got to write I need to get printed though I’m sure I could get the girls printed for me.”  Fernando explains. He adds, “I am worrying, I think this Roland-9 was sent out on a last mission and if he died out here, no one would miss him.”
 
“How you reckon’d ?” Hondo asks.
 
“The medical scan I did on him. It shows that he is a person of 30-something years but he looks like he’s in his 60’s. Plus all that technology in him to replace failed or failing organs, it’s disgusting to prolong a person’s life in that condition. On top of that, what he said and his name - Roland-9, sounds to me that he is a clone. And we all know how Dolly the Sheep* ended up in our time of a premature death from improper cloning procedures; she was already old when she was born. He looks like he is in the same situation she was in before she expired.” Fernando explains.
 
“Those Sick ET-Spirits, who gave them the permission to play god with the lives of others?” Hondo points out.
 
“The Zeti Reticuli and Solipsi Rei grey ETs are notorious for human abductions and experimentations. And that droid is definitely Zeti Reticuli technology and design. The only thing that bothers me is that for this treaty to work, if they agree to it, Roland-9 must live.” Fernando explains.
 
“You are not goin’ to give him an immortality pill, are you?” Hondo asks.
 
“No. But in giving General Jastery a half dose of the healing pill, she’s reverted to when she was in her late 30’s - early 40s. And she was in her mid to late 70’s. I did not expect that. Giving Roland a half dose of the healing pill he would need medical care to remove those parts as his body heals, rebuilds and restarts the failed organs within him. The Mechanical Heart would be replaced with a biological one when it grows in, same with the bones and joints. All those synthetic parts will need to be removed. That would take days and days we do not have.” Fernando explains.
 
“Tough to be him.” Hondo says.
 
“First thing is first – find Val. Everything else is just secondary.” Fernando says as they approach the VW Camper. He notices and points out to Hondo Jason talking to Moro. “Looks like he may have a sucker for his fool’s errand.”
 
“I really do not care.” Hondo says to him as they walk between the Fernando’s Camper and Hondo’s camper. Fernando opens the door and reaches for his bag and pulls out his Lenovo SE10e Netbook. Hondo looks at it, saying, “I still got the one you gave me.”
 
“In your camper?” Fernando asks as the machine boots up into Win7 through its SSD in a matter of seconds and not minutes.
 
“Might be in the rear trailer. Don’t know. We only packed up what we got during the move and needed to make another trip to finish it all. Might be in the trailer, might be at home waiting to be picked up.” Hondo says.
 
“I see.” Fernando says as his machine’s word processor boots up.

Note:
 
Unfortunately, chances are that person does not exist.
 
Years ago, shortly after they disappeared, there would have been a chance to save them then, but years later, it is highly improbable if not impossible.
 
Given this fact, Moro as one of two choices to make. She has to keep in mind that the location of the disappearances will take the group away from their appointed task.

After no response from Jason, Moro again makes her proposal. "If you can provide me the same information on the patients that you provided to those hospitals and if that person is still alive, we may be able to find them." Moro adds additional information. "Alive and has not turned Wesen."
