// July 12th - Signal hunting shouldn't require a blowgun

Okay, so we learned a few things today.

The most important of which was how to uncouple your truck from its cargo.

Yeah, because the radio Yvonne uses needs electricity to function, so we couldn't exactly just pick her up and take her with us.  So it was just me and Dom in the cab of the truck, cruising around town, looking for signals.  We did get her to tell us what frequency to look for, though.

And that was about the end of the good news.

I thought you enjoyed looking at the city?

...Okay, so today was mildly enjoyable.  Still frustrating though.

Yeah, no kidding.  The moment we got closer to wherever the signals were coming from, they just...stopped.  Once that happened, I stopped too, but I couldn't...see anything, or anyone, who might have been causing them.

It is most likely that they heard your truck coming and turned off whatever they were doing.

Yeah, probably.  Especially considering once we left for the stadium to practice our flying, the signals came back.  I think tomorrow we'll go looking for them again.

This does beg a question, my avian friend.

Yeah?

Two, actually, now that I think on it.

Well go on.

Why are they sending out signals in the first place?  And why do they stop when we draw close to them?

...Great, now you got me thinking about it.  As if I wasn't paranoid enough.

Apologies, I just thought it was an avenue worth thinking about.

Well it is, but it also shouldn't be.  God.  Maybe I should go out armed next time, just to be safe.

You can?  Oh right.  Talons.  You Americans and your guns.

Hey, guns have saved us before.  These scars could have been a lot worse.

I'll take your word for it.  Let us get some rest.  Tomorrow we shall find out who or what is doing this.

Agreed.
