This week, a bit of a conversation between Mac and Ballentyne, his 2nd in command, in Cody. Sometimes, we all need reminded, they survived WW3.

“The purpose of Cody has always been to protect The Vista. I don’t see that changing, but we can grow here, we can be safe here, we can do this.”
“You had something cooking, when you petitioned Command to get separation from The Vista,” Ballentyne said. “I just didn’t know what.”
“That happened as soon as we got here.”
“Barely five months ago. How long have you known about The Sixth, really?”
“We’ve known for years, someone was watching us – maybe it was them, or Skolkovo. Maybe it’s a group we haven’t crossed paths with, because we’ve been blind until recently. There could be a million people, out in the east.”
“There’s not,” Ballentyne said after a moment.

Yep, things are about to get interesting for them. With a little luck and some uninterrupted writing time (HA!), this will be off for its first edit in 4 weeks. Wish me luck. I’m sure I’ll have a big promo thing going, too. Check back soon for details.

It sounds as though this dude knows a lot more than the people in Cody. You’ve got me wondering how and why.

Less than a million – very sparse population compared with today. Yes, it makes me wonder what happened.

I think they’re wise to keep in mind that there could be others ‘out there’ watching them besides the known. Really an excellent snippet!
