The door opens from Milliways onto the tumbletown ruins of what used to be an industrial area on the fringes of Arlington. The temperature is summertime-warm, the air dry; the last rains to pass through here are long since gone. Overhead, a scavenger bird or two circles, visible only to people who know what they're looking for. A breeze listlessly stirs the air, kicking up brief dust-devils along the shattered ruin of the local roads. Beyond that, the place is quiet in the way that only emptiness can bring.

"This is where I came in," Ellen says over her shoulder. "Like I mentioned the other day, it's about a day's travel to the Fort Bannister region from here. There's still some pre-war asphalt laid down here but pretty soon it all gives way to open sand and scrub. The nearest radiation source is a hundred yards northeast of here, and we're not going in that direction, so unless my Geiger counter goes off without warning we should be all right."

Ellen nods and hands over a bottle marked Rad-X. "Preparatory chems," she says. "Take these prior to exposure and they'll prevent cell and tissue damage. They can't block everything, but it's a start. And here- the Rad-Away chelation suspension works by IV injection, I'm afraid, but it's all we've really got."

She looks around a moment, swallowing a fistful of the Rad-X herself along with a brief swig of water.

"And I guess we're about set to roll out..."

[OOC: Since we've got a mess o' time zones to span here, we'll be splitting Team Alpha and Team Delta into two separate subthreads. I'll be more than happy to NPC in both as needed.]
