The Almighty was still on the side of the group as there
were no bimbos ,or even shapeshifting space aliens
aboard the Proton-4
There was however a good space station view of the
continent below them and none of them were surprised to
discover that a fifth of the major USA population centres
showed evidence of decay and collapse not caused merely by
the ravages of time.
Basically the bimbos seemed to have the Bomb.
So the group quickly loaded the supplies meant for the
long smeltered International Space Station into
the roomier Proton-4.
Donavan wanted to get this crate away from Earth before the
bimbos took a maelevolent potshot at it.
