207 - Stick the LANDING

With the SUN set behind the MOUNTAINS, night has fallen. (But you haven't fallen! You stuck the LANDING! Your DIGNITY is fully restored!)

Your current position is behind a large BOULDER somewhere in the DESERT. In the distance is a FORT, a fort which you can safely assume is FORT FERRIS, your current destination. How fortuitous! It is a large and foreboding area with high WALLS, several TOWERS, a building with several SMOKE STACKS and a building with LARGE RED WINDOWS, possibly a CONSERVATORY of some sort. SMOKE billows (as it is wont to do) and deep THUMPING NOISES emanate from the facility. Shadowy FIGURES patrol the walls, too far away to make out in the dark.

In any case, you can rest assured: this is the base of operations for COLONEL FERRIS and his CONFEDERBOTS.

A ROAD stretches from the FORT past your BOULDER and into the DESERT. On the other side of the BOULDER is a small POND, more like a WATERING HOLE, really.

Your PARACHUTE has been rendered useless; you have no idea how to repackage it anyway. You have set down the BACKPACK which still holds your SUIT and CANE. Your pockets still bulge with the HANGER, SAUCY MAGAZINE, RED RUBBER STOPPER, and TOOTHBRUSH.

After you admire the freaking beautiful scenery, what will you do?
