"This was not easy information to find, and I didn't dare do anything involving whatever it was that brought us here in the first place. The site was blacker than my left asscheek after landing in pitch, so I've been snooping around the periphery and hoping I did not raise enough interest to give the security forces any cause to turn me and everything around me into so much gooey charcoal."

They did not seem to care much for the duffel, or the oblong box they could not really do anything with or the wristband. So far, I could find out that they were in a bulk storage facility that is de jure supposed to be storing preserved meats and rations, but..."
