I tried to look up the Panzer Train on the big book of war, but I could find it nowhere. Is it up there, or is it just in my paper files, at Headquarters' headquarters?

I am afraid that HQ has info on your train. Ask him to copy it at his job....he is just pretending to be a government paid torpedo anyway...hehe

As central/any government has ceased to exist I do not see the possibility for General Sanchez operatives or New Dawn operatives roaming around .....

Default Eureka sept.15th Temperature: + 9 C* Gas Power Plant

While attending endless meetings ,Willis comes into contact with a clerk during a break .The two men discuss the situation in plain terms ,and Willis is shocked to hear that the clerk might hold the key to resolve the difficulties the town is in .

The clerk mentions in by-sentence that his brother used to work in the Rancho Seco powerplant in Sacramento .

Astounded Willis grabs the guy and launches a full investigation to clear all the facts up .

The mans brother worked on the gas power plant project in the Rancho Seco plant in 2003-2005 .The plant was going to go online in 2006 ,but was never finished due to teotwawki .(Aka shtf). It was supposed to consist of several units such as the one in Eureka for a total of 500 Mw Hrs .The same model turbines.From the same company.That was all ended by the attacks and the subsequent disorder.

The plant was nevertheless brought nigh on completion and valuable parts etc might be found on the site ,as well as documentation etc .
This might very well mean that the missing turbine parts as well as the control gear mechanism might be there or in the area.

Knowing well that the mission will recieve the highest priority in the council ,and that whoever pulls it of will rack up a major influence bonus -Willis must now decide how to proceed.Many out there would go far to bring this one home .Old allies could turn to enemies over such a prize.

He hurriedly assigns the clerk to another job at his hq and starts preparations for whatever his next move might be .

Fortunately ,NO-ONE knows ANYTHING about this so far but him and the clerk.

This one needs to be handled juuust right .

Default Eureka sept.17th Temperature: + 8 C* More news

Willis pulled his heavy wollen coat tighter around him .As he labouriously made his way from his office to the town hall for todays rounds of discussions .The wounds still ached .Sometimes he would have to slow down to a snail pace due to the skin stretching uncomfortably .It felt like tearing a notepad size bandaid from a wound not fully healed every time he did it .But now his mind raced over the new opportunity that had presented itself to him last night :

During his dinner ,one of his aides had asked for a meeting and he grudgingly allowed it .He wasnt disappointed.The aide came with news from the hospital .One of the patienst there , a severly ill man by the name of Andropopolous had told everyone of his "valuable information" in the faint hope that he would be deemed a valuable asset ,and that more resources and the precious drugs would be spent on saving his life .He had worked the docks of the Port of Oakland for over 30 years ,including 5 under PacGov rule and knew them well. After the events of the last part of the 2nd American Civil War -the summer 2019- he had run away from his post .But he took with him knowledge of the unloaded stacks of containers and bulk cargo silos and warehouses that were there.many of which he and his co workers had left fully loaded with equipment and supplies .He was specifically thinking of a shipment of Japanese wind power generators ordered by PacGov just before the crash .He was sure they were arrived - he had seen the papers himself .But for someone to find them in the thousands of containers you would have to know what to look for .And by now there were probably marauders sifting through that stuff .

Willis was sure of one thing -this was an unexpected and promising opportunity .But with the council in endless debates on housing and sanitation and heated shouting matches over the possible lack of food towards next spring , getting the authorization to draw the resources and manpower would be a pain in the *ss.

But there were other ways- if he could only find a ruthless and tough group of guys that were accustomed to danger and didnt mind bending the rules -til they broke ...Also they would have to be expendable not to put him an akward situation with the rest of the council if anything went wrong ...hmmm..who to contract with for this one...

I think we need to put together a common task force for this mission (the Sacramento mission). Maybe this could be a nice way for the general and DeCorba (and the rest of us) to up their popularity with the council?
We need to do this collectively, I think, because I cannot afford to lose control over the food storage while I'm away. I need most of my soldiers at home, but I can spare at least some equipment for a mission like this.

Default regarding recruiting

I get msg from HQ that recruiting is to be allowed by yours truly. In my opinion we should encourage this ,since MILGOV has 2000!!!!! soldiers.....given that they probably are tired etc. we still have time to recruit before it's too late.

we should atleast have 500 soldiers each so any attack from our former enemies would prove a failure.

I am NOT looking for hostility against Milgov but I like the sense of security I get from a well armed personal guard.

They have 2000 soldiers, but also the same amount of cicilians in the city. Not to worry. We can each have at least 500 soldiers, but they should all be intermixed with the rest. If you want to have a private army, you'll have to keep it elsewhere. Within Eureka, there will be only one army; the army of the people of Eureka.

Regarding the "resourceful man":
I have 400 japanese mercenaries. I guess they will not be missed if I use them to try and secure the wind power generators.

An other crazy thought would be to contact... hmmm I'll PM this one.

Default Humboldt Bay Power Plant

Since you have state dan interest in the subject of power generation ,there are more options presenting themselves.

This link is about the powerplant in question .

http://www.oes.ca.gov/operational/oeshome.nsf/pdf/nuclear%20plant%20fact%20sheets/$file/humboldtbayfactsht.pdf

I would like to stress that none of the 3 component powerplants are operational in game time actual .

The "Fossil fuel Units" -presumably coal /petro burning steam turbines have been shut down due to lack of spareparts and repairs. There has also been a fire in the machinery causing a lot of damage.Specific parts and experst are required to get this going again .

the mobile gas units are shut down due to a lack of spare parts and technical expertise.This relates to the gas pumping station by the gas wells , the reduction gears at the units themselves and the control unit for the ga sturbines .Specific parts and said expertise is needed to get these going .They seem to have sustained a little damage from neglect ,but repairs will probably have them running again .

The nuclear plant was put in SAFSTOR mode in 1985 with a projected viability of 30 years .Due to the events of 2005 and onwards ,nothing has been done since the twilight fell. ( 34 years ago) .This means that the plant is on hiatus .The 250ft smokestack has been removed .Also there is no unspent fuel at the facility (uranium rods) .Lastly ,the running of the plant requires technical expertise that you do not as of yet have .(I will allow for you to make a roll on winging it though )

There you have it !A lot of possible power sources in one place ,but how to get the stuf fto make them work -and who to trust with the job ? Whoever controls this will more than likely run the town in the years to come....Imagine the price you get extort from a whole town if you had the last spare parts to their only hope for electricity -in the world....

Default Streamlining The Operation

EUREKA SEPT. 18 2019 TEMPERATURE 7 C*

Rupert Willis groaned as the doctor removed another jagged piece of shrapnel from his neck .The last weeks one or two metal pieces had worked their way out of his wounds every now and then .Some microscopic fragments -others that made quite the plink in the steel bucket when the doctor finally dropped them in ther eafter using his tweezers to yank them out .

"This one was a hard one " the doctor said .The plinking metal sound in the stainless stell bucket was loud and clear .removing it had hurt like hell.

He peered over to see into the bucket .The metal object ,bloddy and jagged was lying among drops of dark red blood at the bottom.A familiar shape somehow.Then he realized -it was the top part of the armin lever on the PacGov frag grenades they used.who in the F**ck had used them around him lately ?

Then it struck him .That bloody Irish lout had tossed two of them behind him self and almost on top of him when he had tried to run away - or so he had gathered from the debrief.He had been stabbed repeatedly in the head at the time and details were hazy .But he could just see the lumbering shape of the Irishman runing away from him , frags dropping and bouncing on the floor behind him -where he himself had lain fighting for his life .

"Ooops!A little agitated , Sir? " The doctor got franticallly busy pushing gauze swabs into the open wound underthe stitches -the veins had started pumping harder and blood was squirting out .

Willis didnt answer.He popped the lid of his pillbox and downed two.His eyes shot dreadful ,threathening looks at the clerk at the end of the room .

Unable to comprehend why he was being targeted by the boss` anger ,the clerk pretended to work hard at his notes.

Willis gasped in pain as the bandages were being pulled taut again .Someone would pay for this .


Dearly.
