Stage 0 Camp; Part 1
A grueling 9 hours later, the team arrived in Nehmenweld. Immediately, the cold became obvious, thus making the immediate first order of business to bundle up in an attempt to not freeze. This especially bothered cold-sensitive Valentin, who practically sprinted to his lodging trailer and scrambled for the layers of clothing. Norse and the ‘Speshul Forces’ did the same, albeit with marginally less urgency.
Now that the immediate threat of freezing was averted, the generator was set up with everything needed, running within minutes and made available to everyone with a blow of the whistle.
This not only drew the customer teams, but also a local truck resembling a model T tanker truck, which was used to transfer fuel from itself to Robert’s fuel trailer as agreed upon with local railroad operators months before arrival.
Eventually, with fuel for the night being secured and their own lodging hooked up, Valentin was visibly tired.
“I am going to bed now. Here is the list with all the plug numbers. Just match the team name to the plugs they go into.” Valentin told towards Norse, handing a small slip of paper to him containing the aforementioned info..
"Uhm… shouldn’t be too hard, i think. Goodnight then… Well… “night”, Norse replied as he went towards the generator car, leaving Valentin to go to bed.
Meanwhile at the military half of the team, they took the time to settle into the cold as well, when Constantin rounded up the five recruits:
“Alright. Now, our mission starts proper. The way it works is going to be as follows: We have three pairings already established via vehicle staffing. Each team will be on watch for four hours and then be handed off to the next one. Dupont and I start, followed by Jacknabbit and Muller, then Patel and Reynolds. Rinse and repeat until departure tomorrow morning. Report anything that may endanger civilians in camp. Before we start the rotation, i want to know if you can actually still hit a target. Which means. Get suited up for combat!” Constantin explains, followed by the whole group heading to their two trailers to equip standard issue weaponry for the recruits, with Constantin following suit, but also taking a gun case along for the trip.
With everything in hand, but nothing loaded yet, they head over to Shift Happens…
