#68 Cincinatti Nuke Strike on Nxla

Bluey Leaves before entering Cincinnati.  Drago tells Bluey to go find the Psi Stalkers.
The group survives multiple missile volleys some fired by salin, the former army of thunder soldier turned zombie by the harvestors. Merl goes with the group to find the Elders.

Scouts find the group and they fight, ghoul chained to light machine gun in back of jeep piloted by 2 harvesters attack and are defeated.  Drago takes the Jeeps PC computer.
The group then sneak sup to base pyramid guarded by harvestors and zombies
There they save 5 elders of gaw.  Caldor tries to make a sniper shot on Bes but he is protected by the force field on his naruni juggernaught hover tank.

After the elders are safe someone calls in nuke strike from gaw fighters which seems to destroy everything including nxla...



After the Nuke strike on downtown Cincinnati the group flees East a short distance(20meters) from the LeyLine Nexus and blast craters to an intact ruined office building the Elders request time to stop and rest in.

REFINERY ONLINE
coded message from the newly upgraded hughbot
http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2011/02/hugh-bot-modified-dynabot-neuro-net-ai.html
to caldor/team long range radio
based on this http://www.palladium-megaverse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=120521

"Based on these estimates I have your oil refinery online.
Most gased based vehicles use Fuel Injected Engine and Turbo Engine get 40miles/64km per 1 gallon (~4liters).  So divide range / 40 to see how many gallons the tank is on most vehicles.

Cost for fuel is listed as 200credits per 20gallon/75.7liter capacity (or 10credits per gallon) 

At current experimental capacity we can create 1gallon of fuel per day.  Would you like me to continue making fuel from the crude oil we have?  We have 1000 gallons of crude left in the refinery tanks, as well as a pump system I can repair to pump more crude oil up  from a nearby if we had some capital to build a pump and oil pipeline...
Also Max simpson flew in today carrying Tom twain ... Max's armor is heavily damaged and tom has none left at all..  Max suffered multiple heavy injuries from flak and may not survive he is in a coma...Tom had 3 fingers shot off but is otherwise well and helping my operations.
I've estabished a computer network called THUNDERNET out of scavenged equipment and transmitters and have started doing trade with the guntersville smuggers to find parts for the refinery.
Huntsville population projected to increase as THUNDERNET shortwave enables intermittent connectivity to chitowns entertainment networks...  So far one family of 2 the old Huntsville GAW loyalist Cutters Family have moved into a log cabin they are building across the street from the refinery.  In exchange for my protection they are building wooden parts for the refinery and some moonshine stills.
