Chapter 15: Military Intelligence
From the journal of Carlos Vargas, Shield of Hope, 4 January 2243:
"I wear nothing but blue 13 uniform and carry nothing but hope in heart as I travel south. I stay along ocean shore; hopefully, Louie not like salty air because it ruin steel pantalones. I meet fisherpeoples.
"I start walk to sea, then...
"I figure out that fisherpeoples try trick me into getting wet! What, you pendejos think I estupido? My character sheet is mentira, my intellihence is a very good smart!
"I keep walk south. Finally I reach destinación: Navarro. I give Chris one last chance to say truth.
"Hasta la vista, friendo.
"After I done kicking smile off Chris's face, I open door behind him. Behind it was door into underground place, which I take. I explore underground and this time I not see chupacabra, I see people. La migra. I not afraid of them this time. The first person I see tells me:
"I find guy in steel pantalones and talk him.
"I find armory and take everything from lockers. I find weapon, at least I think it weapon. It what Louie carries. I think it look like a leaf blower, but I not about to put hand over it to find out.
"Then I find pair of steel pantalones. I find bunny helmet and look into empty ojo holes long time. I can hear voice of Louie and big deep voice of el hombre gigante who murdered migrant family. 'This not your affair,' he told me. Well, it my affair now. I put it on, this Power Armor Bellgrande. This is what Carlos look like as policía migratoria.
"I go upstairs to outside area. It look like big military place. I feel lost, but I find drill sargento.
"That where I supposed to stay, but while Sargento not making rounds, I walk around looking for thing I come here for: información.
"I go to garage and look around. Pretty noisy here. I look through tools and lockers, but there one locker that guy won't let me open.
"I set secret bomba near him. No one notice boomplosion because garage so noisy all the time.
"I know it not nice what I just do, he just try to do his yob. But I gotta yob too.
"Inside locker, I find plans for building Vertibird helichopper. Maybe I build my own so I look for tribe from sky.
"Sargento making rounds now, so I run over to guard post before he notice I not there and before anyone notice what just happen in garage.
"Información find is importante, but I also could use some comida, so I go talk to cook. I hungry for conejo chorizo, hope he have that.
"My tribe deported to middle of ocean? Santa Sangria! This situación very bad. I need fob! But before I try get it, I report to duty station again time and wait for Sargento to make round.
"I start to understand why people might join la migra. It not just because you get to wear shiny pantalones and carry big gun. There some good people here, like the cook. Even the Sargento not seem like bad guy. At least is a steady yob. It feel like being in a tribe again.
"When Sargento walk away, I rush downstairs and find base jefe's office.
"I clean jefe's office. Easiest yob I ever had, he keep it clean already. But when I try to open locker...
"That probably where he keep fob. Setting bomba probably not gonna work this time. Bueno, I have to find another way.
"I leave base jefe office and look around for more información. I find computadora room. Computadora can give good información I hear. I ask if I can use.
"Computadora not make me feel gooder. Maybe I can steal Vertibird from here or build own Vertibird from plans. But I no know how to fly. Maybe it easy? Probably easier than stealing fob.
"I go to see Dr. Schreber. Cook tell me that he not nice, but maybe he give good información. He next to the room where I saw chupacabra when I come here before.
"He then say that la migra is experimenting with chupacabras to see if they are good, cheap luchadores. Experiment works, but chupacabras too intellihent! La migra not trust smart chupacabras, so they gonna kill them all.
"This give me idea for using chupacabra in next room. I even promise doctor that I will kill it for him. Before I do that, I notice he have a strange perro just standing there. I go to play with it.
"Talking perro! But it full of metal and not move. I ask Dr. Schreber about it.
"This doctor not nice to perro, chupacabra, or anybody. As for chupacabra, here my plan: I will open door and let chupacabra out. He will chase me like a toro. I will lead him to base jefe office, where he make such mess that hopefully I can get the fob without anyone noticing.
"I talk to guard in front of chupacabra pen.
"But when I go inside, chupacabra not run after me like other chupacabra do. He just stand there and watch. Plan not go according to plan. I about to blow leaf blower in his face to make him mad, but then he started talking.
"I go to Dr. Schreber's office to get key to free Xarn. But he not let me take key. That his last mistake.
"I chase doctor around room and kick him to death in front of roboperro. No more naughty experiment!
"I talk to roboperro again.
"I go upstairs and get the part to repair roboperro. Before I come back down, I report for guard duty again one more time.
"But when I try to put part in roboperro, I no could do it.
"Maybe my Repair skill too low. I probably should have asked doctor for help before killing him. But that OK. Roboperro not taste as good as Perrocarne anyway.
"I take key from doctor's desk and open door for Xarn so he can get away.
"I actually made friend with chupacabra. That sound loco, but it make me feel a little gooder. I follow Xarn outside and away from military area. He go off to warn his chupacabra tribe.
"I all alone again. I fail to get fob. Nothing more I can do in Navarro. Not know what I can do anywhere. I help free slaves, Sulik seester, fantasmas, even chupacabra, but I no can free my own people. What good am I?"
