The night rolled on quietly enough. People talking excitedly with one another, cheers ringing out along the fires, and best of all not a single peep from the robots they found down below. They've kept it mostly under wraps about them. Just a stern warning about no one leaving the camp until daylight.
Jackal cleaned up and settled in for a quick rest while he waited for Ez to get off her guard shift. He woke up a few minutes before midnight and took the time to wake himself up and check over his weapons doing an ammo check. He was down to twenty rifle bullets and about thirty pistol rounds, hopefully they could find the armory tomorrow and everyone can restock. By his reckoning they'd be on their own until they reach the mining town just before the rumored location of the Lost Mountains. Humming to himself he began cleaning the dust and carbon from his guns while he waited for Ezra to come back to their hidden tent.
