Vault 257.
Killeen, TX.

Two weeks after Alpha Team of the Texas Rangers discovered evidence of survivors - or more accurately, corpses of survivors - President Graves has given the go-ahead to Sergeant Major Howard Patell for two more teams of Rangers to be deployed in order to track down whatever, or whoever, may have left the bodies behind. Alpha Team and Charlie Team have each been assigned to a particular area, with Alpha being sent eastward towards Temple and Charlie running north along I-35 to Waco. No other teams have discovered survivors in the vicinity of Killeen, which is what led the Sergeant Major and the President to believe that whatever happened to the skeletons would have kept moving on and away from Fort Hood.

Alpha Team
Corporal Hays, expert in tracking and short to medium range combat.
Specialist Lopez, squad marksman and reconnaissance expert.
Specialist Trevino, squad medic and rifleman.

Charlie Team
Corporal Fletcher, expert marksman.
Specialist Decker, squad medic.
Specialist McCoy, demolitions expert and rifleman.

I-14 East.
Belton, TX.

Although the teams were now nearly twenty miles out from Vault 257, few other signs of survivors have been seen. Alpha Team broke off from Charlie some hours before, continuing to head north towards Waco after discovering tire tracks of some kind in the dust, leaving Charlie to follow a handful of blood spatters leading down Highway 93. As Charlie follows the blood, it becomes clear that whatever left it grew more and more injured as it moved east towards the Leon River. Crossing the river brings the team close to what looks to have been a prewar dance hall - however, muffled shouts can be heard inside. Corporal Fletcher issues orders, sending Decker and McCoy to take a position in the ditch across from the hall while he takes a sniper spot atop a neighboring storage unit. Now, the trio waits for night to fall - if whoever is inside the building is hostile, nighttime will be the best opportunity to neutralize them with minimal risk to the Rangers.
