	Gee, how about this to open up those hatches.

	Passing through woodded rolling hills on a fire road, he team stumbles
across the remains of a National Guard M-113.  The skeletal remains of the
squad are a grisly emphasis to the method used by the victor.  The vehicle
is impaled with a finned phone pole tipped with a steel point, fired into
