There's a Bear Shaman living out there, calls himself Treebear. Plus we
tore off a coat of paint from the plane when we landed.

+++++ENGAGE VIDEO: Covello.Inspection
+++++AUDIO/VISUAL (y/n):Y

+++++The camera swings around to show you a starlit sky as you decsend
towards a +++++cluster of about fifty buildings. You're vision is
low-light. You hear a +++++small beep.

(Jonesy) Rat21, Rat21...base is operational. Over?

(Tunnel-Rat)Base this Rat21. ETA one minute to Covello.

(Jonesy) Rat21, Good luck, send us a postcard. Base out.

(Tunnel-Rat) Base, I'll hike back so remember those damm Sentry Guns.

+++++15Mp DELETED

+++++You are on the ground and walking towards the building in front of you.

(Tunnel-Rat) This an audio record for Freddy Frypp. I am proceding with an
inspection of Covello, our sensors picked up one human lifeform on the
flyover of Covello. I immediatly ready our Nightglider and went out the
back of the C-260.

+++++Now you are holding a Colt M-23 and are seeing through Thermographic
+++++vision. The front door to the building is closed. A hand reaches out,
turns +++++the handle, and thrusts the door open. You wait a moment and
then look +++++inside. There is a stairway going up in front of you and to
your right.

(Tunnel-Rat) Base, this is Rat21. Do sensors still show me in the same
building as the our local landlord?

(Hawk) Rat21, this is Hawk, It''s on second level, Northeast corner.

(Tunnel-Rat) Ok, Base. I'm moving out.

+++++You move up the stairs. At the top the hallway leads left and right.
You +++++move right. Now you see two doors, one on the left and one on the
right. +++++The one on the left is open. You swing the Colt to cover the
opening on the +++++left as you walk in. Sitting at a desk in front of you
is a man in tribal +++++leathers. There is a knife on the desk.

(Tunnel-Rat) Who are you?

(Treebear) I am Treebear, I am the shaman of this valley.

+++++Treebear places his hands on the desk.

(Treebear) You may lower your gun. As long as you intend no harm none will
be visited on you. Nor will any hinderance.

+++++You lower the Colt.

(Treebear) I take it you're another smuggler making a base out here.

(Tunnel-Rat) Yes, our sensors found a lifeform and I came out here to
inspect. We want to make a base at the airfield in this valley.

(Treebear) Go ahead. You may also come back for advice from me anytime.

+++++You find yourself back at the Nightglider. You begin to disassemble it
and +++++start walking Northeast towards the airstrip.

Freddy, we got the base setup. Over the weekend I'll look for
Treebear.]<<<<<
