"I'm supposed to pick up a courier job in Oklahoma," you say. "Don't know what it is." The operator nods, bored. She gives you your travel advisory:

"Sunny weather for the next two hours, rapidly getting worse. Heavy thunderstorms expected later today and tomorrow in Oklahoma and north Texas. Flooding expected along the Red River.

"A new city tax has tripled mechanic and recharge fees in Waco. This tax is 'to pay for duellist damage to city property.'

"The Texas Rangers are on the lookout for the gang that looted and destroyed the Ross truck stop just north of Waco. There were no survivors. Travelers should note that recharges are no longer available in Ross."

Mark off 30 minutes for the time spent at the AADA. What will you do now?

Head north to begin your mission (16).

Go to Uncle Albert's and buy some special equipment, if you have not already done so (144).
