Oops #1

Missed yesterday's writing, double-post today to make up for it.

The replacement facility for the US to research particularly nasty things is going to be in Kansas.

Kansas State University conducted an aggressive campaign to win DHHS selection as the future home of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a $650 million award that will replace the deteriorating institute at Plum Island, New York. One might hope that the caliber of their research might rise accordingly, once that animal disease reesarch facility - located in the middle of America's bread basket and cattle country - starts its operations.

So, follow me here as we step into the end of the United States.

Thirty-Five

(Kicking off with something I wrote last year, since I missed 1/1/11.)

Thirty-Five

She slammed down the broken stretch of highway at speeds the original architects never envisioned. It helped that she was piloting a last-generation Panzer, sitting on a cushion of air, propelled by a pair of alcohol-fuelled turbojets. Broken pieces of asphalt, downed light-posts, and abandoned vehicles meant next-to-nothing to the pilot, able to choose to float between inches and feet off of the ground.

Passive sensors augmented her awareness, full-spectrum vision extending a full three hundred and sixty degrees. Technical overlays informing her of possible hazards, fuel and weapons status; the occasional chirp of energy being directed at her Tank flitted across her vision. Those could only be the enemy, as she and her group were operating in stealth, avoiding conflict.
