RPG:
 
On top of a tall steep hill near by the highway, two lone figures stand watch as the convoy rolls on the roadbed under them. They wait for all the vehicles to disappear into the darkness of the early evening.
 
Once the vehicles drop out of view into the distance, one raises up a staff with a glowing end. “Come on Concorde, we’re going home. Let’s hope they will accept the changes.”
 
The glow from the staff expands and engulfs the two of them. As soon as the light dissipates, Roland and his robot companion are gone.

After Moro goes to her truck, Jeanette looks at the CD and is perplexed as to how a career in classical music fits in with a pedophile kidnapping the Jeanette of this timeline.
 
 
Jade rides in the truck with Moro, not knowing if she can trust this wolf Spirit. After all, Kim (who mysteriously disappeared) was the only person who was kind to her.
 
Moro is not sure what she should do for Jade. The only thing she was sure of is she wanted Jade out of that abusive situation. For reasons Moro does not understand, the Texas Spirits have a near-obsession with the Haibane. Should Moro adopt? That is something Moro asked herself though there are two reasons why she shouldn't: Should she and can she be a mother now? Moro is only a hundred-twenty-five-years-old. The other is, while Spirits are near Immortal, there is no such as an Immortal Haibane.
 
 
In the Beetle, Jeanette plays the CD Moro gave her. The girl on the CD has an incredible voice, like an angel. There is one problem: the girl on the CD sounds nothing like Jeanette. There is only one conclusion Jeanette can come to: someone else is singing. So why this charade, who is behind this and who do they think they are kidding?
 
Jeanette turns off the music and gets on the radio. "Moro, are you there?"
 
Moro responds. "This is Moro. What's up, Jeanette?"
 
"I was listening to the CD you gave me. The girl you claim to be me is not me. I'm good but I'm not that good."
 
"Jeanette." Moro sighs. "We will discuss this at our next stop. Moro out."
 
Moro and Jeanette put the radio down.

RPG Info (Updated):
 
Town 1 - 75 miles away: Small Lab Town Hive.
 
Town 2 - 200 miles away: Smaller Town like the current Center Town; Indian Camps around this town are between 20 and 50 miles away and congregate there for shopping and social events due to its close proximity. It is the town that connected its rail road to Center Town.
 
This town is called Injun (Indian) Town. It was a smaller military base abandoned long ago during the Happening and then resettled. Like Center Town, It was an Army Barracks Base, meaning soldiers were housed there before deployment so there are many small barracks buildings with a large main street and several side streets but no vehicle hangers or aircraft runways. There are smaller shops and vehicle repair stations. It also has a small Communications Tower/Center where they connect with the other nearby towns by radio. Convoys would set up their mobile stores at the far end of the main street. They and the surrounding Indian Settlements are the first towns to sign the treaty.
 
Town 3 - 250 miles away: Fight Town.
 
Town 4 - 320 miles away: Large Lab Town Hive.
 
- - - -
 
RPG:
 
Only a half hour into the convoy and the sun is setting. Convoy speed is averaging at 35mph as to not stress the slower or smaller vehicles of the convoy. Some have stated that their destination is Injun Town and will be leaving early. This will bring them to the town in 5 hours 45 minutes.
 
“Hondo. Take it to 65.” Fernando says on the radio.
 
They switch their radios to an upper frequency outside of the normal 40 CB channels; one used by the military. As they know Fernando and Hondo, their privacy is respected.
 
“Yes Jefe?” Hondo replies.
 
“Just making sure you’re OK.” Fernando states.
 
“We’re OK.” Hondo points out in an annoyed tone.
 
“Seeing how slow going we are, I do not want you to make any rash or stupid. My promise to help you rescue Val will be kept to the end of time. No one, no thing will get in the way of reuniting you two. She will be found and brought back, that I swear.” Fernando tells him. Hondo does not respond after several seconds. Fernando adds, “We will be at Fight Town in over 7 hours, maybe less. Think you can hold out until then?”
 
“Will do.” Hondo finally replies.

Moro uses her mobile device to access the life signs detector to get Valentine's vital signs. She then places a call. "This is Moro."
 
"Hello, Moro." Says the voice over the mobile device.
 
"Are you monitoring Valentine's vital signs?"
 
"Relax, Moro. Valentine is near immortal and Jeanette mentioned her in future entries of her journal."
 
"I know." Moro sighs.
 
"We have not been granted permission to rescue Valentine or Immortal Jeanette."
 
"Immortal Jeanette does not want us, nor this party, to rescue her; we know she's okay. Aside from her vital signs, we don't know how Valentine is doing."
 
"Is this about Immortal Jeanette?"
 
"We know Immortal Jeanette is okay. It's Valentine I'm concerned about. That and I don't know we can do about Wilbur Robinson."
 
"Wait? What do you mean?" The voice on the other end asks.
 
"According to Torah, we are to try Wilbur and execute him if found guilty. Wilbur used a rather clever trick. He brought Immortal Jeanette to the year 2000 [when Jeanette would legally be fourteen] to deliberately get himself caught. Since Wilbur was born in 2024, there is no way to identify him in 2000. Not legally. By being tried, convicted and executed as a John Doe, he is protecting the Robinson name. And by doing all that in the past, the death penalty is already paid. That, and if we do arrest Wilbur now, we will undo everything he has accomplished by taking Jeanette to the year 2000. Not only would we be harming Immortal Jeanette; we can kiss the journal goodbye."

Note: Fernando, I sent you E-mail last night regarding my work on Plan C. I just received a message that it could not be delivered. Do you know what's going on?

Note: I'm changing the location of Penn Springs. Not only do I think it would be better if it were further south, I think it would be better to keep the site flexible until we decide to go there. It will still need to be along the Charlton Railroad.
 
I'm close to wrapping up Day 2 of the introductory story.

RPG:
 
Traveling at an average speed of 35mph for the last two hours, the CB Radios come to life for those who are leaving for the first Hive Lab Town to prepare for departure as their turn-off point will be approaching in around 10 minutes. Only a few military vehicles will be separating from the main group, mostly scouts and armed reinforcements to replenish the troops that were already there observing them.
 
On approaching the exit, the convoy shifted to the left to stay on the highway while those leaving turned right for the exit. Except for the military radio chatter, it was uneventful. Out of a convoy of less than 75 vehicles, only 6 got off to head into town.
 
“This is it fellas – the long haul! 130 miles of nothing but road ‘til Injun Town!” A voice says on the radio. Anyone on Channel 18, 38, or 65 (military channel) would have heard it.
 
Fernando does the calculations in his head, barring any slow-downs or delays, it should take them less than another 5 hours of driving to get there. And another hour plus for Fight Town, making a total of over 8 hours of driving. Reading off his meters and generator fuel level guestimates, he should have more than enough power to get there, but will require a minimum of a couple days of recharging everything when he gets there. In all this, Macey has fallen asleep in the passenger seat next to his. He thinks and then decides that if the convoy has to stop for any reason, he will put her in bed at that point.

RPG:
 
Some 20 miles have pasted without incident. But for some unknown reason the convoy slows down to a crawl. Nothing is said on the radio. The slowing down of the convoy also quiets it down until a new sound comes into the ears of those driving or awake. The sound of loud engines of motorcycles. Many motorcycles, in a longer line than that of the convoy which is almost a mile. The odd thing about this motorcycle group is how they are riding: loaded with passengers, cargo and gear; some with trailers, other with sidecars, few with both. Some are 2-wheel motorcycles (with or without side cars), others are 3-wheer motor-tricycles. They were all on some form a motorcycle despite having various car and truck parts. They all seemed to be heading to Center Town.
 
Though the convoy slowed down to allow sharing of the road with the motorcycle convoy, radio contact with them was kept at a minimum. Upon seeing them, Fernando takes his CB Microphone and makes sure it is on one of the public road channels, 18 in this case.
 
“2-wheel convoy, this is The Doctor. What is your heading?” Fernando repeats a couple of times.
 
There were several moments of static filled silence before somebody answers.
 
“This is The Leader. You’re the last rider on your convoy in the white Chuckwagon?” The voice on the radio replies.
 
”I am.” Fernando answers.
 
“We heard so much of you and your group.” The Leader replies.
 
“All of it good I hope. Just in asking, however, where are you and your group heading too?” Fernando says and asks.
 
“Ha ha... Much of what we heard is good. We’re heading into Center Town before heading to Sturgis for the 2-wheel rally there.” The Leader explains.
 
“We will be heading to Sturgis in about a week’s time. We just have to make a couple stops around here first.” Fernando explains.
 
“Sounds great. We’ll be at Center Town for a few days, maybe we can meet up and hitch up our convoys together.” The Leader replies.
 
“Let see what happens in a few days.” Fernando replies.
 
“Yes.” The leader replies.
 
“This is the doctor, returning to radio silence. Out.” Fernando transmits.
 
The radio frequency becomes silent, and both convoys eye each other as they pass by one another, more out of curiosity than as a threat one has to defend themselves from.
 
It takes over an hour and a half for the convoys to pass each other, because the convoy is only as fast as its slowest vehicle. Seeing their last vehicle, they can see why they are travelling so slow.

Note: The plan to go to Sturgis is still on? That's fine with me; that would mean heading east and then south [through Kansas] which Hondo had an objection.

you can continue east from from sturgis then south through nebraska then east again. just because we go to sturgis doesn't mean we have to go through Kansas

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
