Ballon Fiasco


A hard rainstorm sent our observation balloon into a heaped mess on one of the castle walls with its cable stretched across the camp.  While the workers were busy attending to the mess at one end of the camp, the security folks locked us all down for our safety, presumably as a precaution from the dangerous cable, or maybe the deflated balloon was really a Taliban Trojan Horse.  We do a lot of things under the pretext of safety around here, some rightly so, but others?  I ignored the mindless lockdown, kitted up and went to the lot with my team to await my ride.  What the trolls didn’t realize was just how many movements were planned that day as the massive tactical vehicles began to show up hoping to pick up their passengers.  They kept coming and coming and before long the lot was jammed with all sorts of armor, worse than Christmas at the mall, and with lots of Guardians standing around.  At least we got out with our more nimble British Foxhound armored vehicles.  Ah yes, cluster Fu-kery at its finest. 

 

Its getting crowded
