Default a curious question.

Olefin:
You mentioned elsewhere that you were in close proximity to, if not actually working with the M88A2 Hercules ARV--that would be in Spring Grove, right? IIRC, United Defense -York was also dealing with the M109 SPH upgrades about that time. Following the TDM, what do you think of the probability of some UD employees and their families grabbing an M109, a couple of M88A2s and a couple of M992 Ammo Carriers (designed for use with the M109 and produced at UD-York IIRC), loading them up with whatever they could scrounge, and hauling ass westward? What with the confusion and heavy drain on manpower, would security be degraded enough at that point? I was thinking that the South Mountain Restoration Center would be a possible place to hold up--limited access by road, secluded on a hilltop in the midst of low mountains, surrounded by an insular population, and having a fairly extensive self-sufficient structure. However, I don't know what you'd do with all of the mentally-ill patients there.
