![]() Massive map, six classes, and unique mechanics that I had never seen before and still haven’t really seen. Amen.At the time I started playing it I was ten (2010), the game had been out for a year or so. If you can see to do it, please welcome him into your arms. Heavenly Father, we send you our friend Run Dutil, a good and true American. As McCaughlin rolled up good-sized rocks to the body and then hefted a capstone in place, Rockson said, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Amen."ĭanik agreed, Run Dutil was solemnly carried outside, still in his frozen, stiff sitting position. Rockson fumbled through the dead man's clothing until he found the small steno pad with pencil notes inside an inner pocket of his frost-covered tunic.ĭanik agreed, Run Dutil was solemnly carried outside, still in his frozen, stiff sitting position. And so they had desisted from tasting this real human. Perhaps the animals had tried to taste the plastic statues over the centuries and found them unpalatable. The body appeared to be untouched the cold had kept it from rotting. The body was there, stiff and frozen, its eyes wide and mouth gaping, the lips blue. Rockson shone the beam of his light over in the direction Danik indicated. Rockson hoped that any roving scavengers attracted by the body of Run Dutil would not have eaten his notebook as well - some species of high-plains bobcat ate even metal cans They quickly made for the boulderfield Danik had indicated. "I remember this place," Danik said, "the President's Museum is about a mile away from here - just beyond those boulders shaped like a pile of kid's blocks." There was a pack rat sticking its nose out of the decayed fabric. "His top hat don't look too good." Rona said. But there was no letup in the cold temperatures, or in the golfball-sized hailstones pounding the hunched-down travelers. Soon they were approaching the old border of Colorado into Arizona. Taking the bearing to the southeast that Dutil's notes indicated, they moved their sleds along at a good thirty miles per hour through icy weather conditions. Danik was besides himself with feelings, and his voice was choked up when he said, "Through that second door - that's where my best friend and I stumbled frozen and hungry into the building." The big rocks had shielded it from the blast effects - everything else in these parts was flattened. The building was a two-story affair nestled in the midst of a flat area covered with snow - a parking lot of old. ![]() "We can roll some boulders over him - better that way - the animals can't get at him." Rockson wondered how they would spade the ground outside, seeing that it was frozen solid. There is still some heat from radioactive elements in that surface - hence the clicking you hear on the Geiger attached to the front of my sled. You notice that there is no snow on that mile-wide plain either. "The heat of the air-detonated blast melted the sand into that shiny surface. "That's the area that took a nuke bomb hit back in the twentieth century," said Rockson grimly. They came over the ridge and looked down on a glassy-surfaced blackened plain. And there are some notes describing the places they stopped." "Run Dutil took bearings and direction readings with a sextant. "Direction readings," Rock yelled exhultantly. "Do you think someone's been here?" McCaughlin said.Įagerly he played the light across its contents. Then they were off on their quest for Eden. He drew estimated margin-of-error lines too - dotted lines that were as much as ten miles to one side or the other of their new route. Rockson drew some pencil marks on the maps, using the meager angles and sun-elevation heights that Dutil had jotted down. They all chanted an amen in unison, and then went back and spread out their maps, and compared them to the notes from Run Dutil's little pad. A tattered and mouse-eaten American flag hung disintegrating on a pole nearby. He was staring forever at the three astronauts in spacesuits that had returned from the moon and were coming in to receive his accolades. The snow flurries drifted in on the figure of John F. Light spilled in from above through a hole in the ceiling. Danik took the lead, and they passed a lifelike statue of Teddy Roosevelt riding a horse in the Battle of Bull Run, and then a replica of President Bush signing the Martial Law decree in the Oval Office.
