He nodded, and got the theatre map out as he talked 'shop'. "Right. Now pay attention, this information might safe your life." he said, unfolding the map and laying it out on his desk.<br/><br/>"The local Neuroi Hive is located here." he said, pointing his swagger stick at a spot on the map. "They're apparently operating on the same proceedure as the other Hives; weekly probing attacks on the surrounding areas. Now here, is our base." he tapped on the map. "As you can see, the nearest major population centre is Darwin, thirty miles east of us. Most of the Neuroi attacks seem to head towards Darwin. However, they have been known to pull a double-blind on us, and feint towards Darwin before changing course to attack somewhere else." he then pointed at several crosses that had been penciled on.<br/><br/>"Now these crosses here, are emergency landing strips, manned by local sheep and cattle stations. Make sure you memorise these locations, in case you can't get back to base for whatever reason."
