Most photographers can find an excuse for missing a great shot ;-) Remember when the guy at the gun store learned you were into photography and tried to sell you a camera that mounted under the barrel? Probably with words like "For that once-in-a-lifetime shot! You don't have to lose your point of aim - just move your thumb to the remote button." Now, image capture is just part of some optics. Coming in and putting your gun (scope) on to charge...well, that just ain't right.

The folks with the big air rifles (PCP - pre-charged pneumatic) have been doing that for years ;-) Different charger though, as it's a compressor that can provide something like 3,000psi.

He spent the next few weeks finishing organizing the space in the mine. The few trips outside, he started never using the same path to or from the mine so as to not wear a trail. Also he made up cushions to wear on his feet to spread out his weight to leave even less sign of him coming and going. The old man was finding that since he was out in the fresh air and being active, that his health was greatly improving. Sure, he was in decent shape for being 60 years old but now he was finding that he was sleeping better at night, his eyes and hearing were keener and he was fast becoming more part of the forest around him. He was now passing through the woods so quietly that often the wildlife wasn't noticing him.
Once a month he goes to the top of the mountain at midnight with his multi band radio to listen in to public radio and to ham radio. Tonight he is again squatted in a clump of brush on the top, having strung out a wire antenna for better reception. He puts the earbud in 1 ear and tunes to MARX 66.6FM from his home town. He hears the midnight news start
MARX 66.6FM coming to you live. For the people's safety, stores have installed “readers” at the entrances that will keep the doors shut unless the nano particle AI sends the reader a signal. That will keep you safe from any dangerous non injected from entering any store.
Tuning to some other Ham frequencies he hears a “pirate” radio station saying that because of the AI nano particle, there is no longer any marriages because of the free sex with anyone. Family groups were now destroyed. Reports of people questioning what was going on were picked up by law enforcement and brought to rooms where their “trials” were publicly broadcast. Shows the people being found guilty of crimes against the public, their nano particle being turned off aging them to an old person, then they are electrocuted til dead. Few would now question anything.
Meanwhile back at his home, his wife had got the $2,000,000 pay out on the life insurance policy on his death. She was partying every night, a different man each night. With the AI nano particle, everyone was now sterile and had no worries about pregnancies unless the AI was told by the government to allow a pregnancy. STDs were all cured by the AI. She was still sleeping with her bosses and got another promotion. She was thinking “life is good”.

A few months more and the old man has heard that all the injected people were moved into the cities, for their protection from the non injected ones. He has been reading the bible most every night and a few weeks ago he realized that he was a sinner, lost and on his way to Hell, and in need of Jesus Christ as his Saviour. So he repented of his sins and believed the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Listening to the “pirate” radio stations he found out that Minisanto was now claiming ownership of all the nano particle injected people because of it changing their DNA. Just like when Minisanto had developed GMO crops by changing plant DNA and then filed patents on the plants, they were doing the same thing with people now. The old man is thinking that is an evil plot, then a thought came to him. The nano particle AI changed people's DNA, how much DNA would need to be changed before God no longer recognized them as a human capable of being saved? Now that was a scary thought to him.
One day he was out moving through the forest miles from his mine. He suddenly heard screaming, a woman screaming. He cautiously moved in closer to see. He sees an older women, about his age, laying on the ground grasping her ankle. The old man does a quick scan to see if anyone else is near. Seeing nothing, he swiftly moves through the brush until he is near her. Startling her with his voice from nearby, he asks what is wrong. She tells him her ankle is hurt from tripping. On guard he steps up to her, holding his rifle and wearing his pistol. She grasps at the sight of his guns and shrinks back from him.
He tells her to relax, he is not there to hurt her. She is still looking at him in fear as he bends down to look at her ankle. While looking, he asks her what she is doing way out here away from the cities. She says she is being chased by 2 men. With an alarmed look on his face, he is asking “what” as he hears rustling in the bushes and 2 men with guns step into view.
The men start to raise their weapons, the old man drops the woman's foot and raises and fires his 30-06 rifle, a shot into each one in the center of their chests. They fall down with gaping holes. The old man watches in fascination / horror as the wounds close and the men get up again. He shoots each one again and they go down. Again the wounds close and they get up. Only 1 shot left in the rifle so he pulls the 45 ACP, only this time he puts a bullet between their eyes. They don't get up.
From the corner of his eye he sees movement and narrowly misses having his head cracked open by the woman with a large tree branch. She lifts the branch over her head to try again but by now the old man had the end of his pistol firmly pressed against the spot between her eyes. Her eyes are crossing, trying to look at the pistol. He tells her to drop the branch, she does.
He tells her she has 3 seconds to say why or he pulls the trigger. She tells him that she had committed a crime. Punishment was to turn off her AI nano particle which caused her to age. She also had to cooperate in finding any non injected before her AI chip would be turned back on. So she was to be the “bait” which might draw in a non injected hiding out. The old man verified that they were just looking for any possible non injected and not just him. Then pulled the trigger.
He debated about taking the guns but decided to leave them. That way when they were found after the bears had been chewing on them, it would be thought that the person that did the shooting had ran away in fear. He made his way back to the mine by a big circle through the woods. He had to clean his weapons, the pistol would be real messy from the spray of brain.

That night back at his mine, he grabbed some supper, then cleaned his weapons. While cleaning his weapons, he was thinking that he now had his answer to whether he could kill someone, actually three of them. Then the reality set in that he had killed and he promptly threw up. 10 minutes later all he had left was dry heaves. He cleaned his face off and read his bible before going to bed,
In the morning he decided to stay in the mine for a while. He was still shook up from yesterday plus he wanted to stay out of sight in case there was a search going on. He wanted some comfort. The months that he had been there, it had been washcloth in a bowl of water to wash off. He missed a shower. Once he had tried showering in the rain but the sight of his naked body had caused wildlife to panic and stampede away and a squirrel was chattering at him but to the old man, it sounded more like the squirrel was laughing. So he rigged up a 5 gallon bucket with a nozzle that he could fill with warm water heated on the rocket stove he had built. Success – it was only warm water, but the shower felt great!
After several weeks, he made a trip outside. Nothing looked out of place. He made the trip to where he had shot the 3 people. He stayed back and used a pair of binoculars to observe. The bodies were still there but were ravaged by wildlife and exposure to the elements.
That night was his scheduled time to listen to his radio. All set up, he was scanning the frequencies to listen to the different “pirate” stations. As he was listening to the 1 station, the man was reporting on things in his area when there was a sound of a shot and silence on the station. Then he heard a voice say that was another dangerous non injected terminated, then static.

Nano particles might be tiny machines which are not species-specific. Their programming that makes species Y sterile might make species Q more prolific. Or the no-more-pregnancies nano might work very well on cows and pigs. Then where will the food come from? Street riots every night and more Soylent Green available to the injected people the next day? Easy way to remove a country's entire population...

Back in his mine, the old man was digesting the fact that non injected radio broadcasters telling what was going on, were being hunted down and killed. Why would anyone be concerned that people were telling what was going on if everyone was happy, young and having a big sex party. He decided he was going to start listening to the radio on a weekly basis instead of monthly.
The old man made up some lead round balls to load up in some of the empty 30-06 casing from his rifle. They would make good quiet loads for taking small game to supply him with some fresh meat. They were easy to make. Re prime the case, a small charge of a “fast” powder , seat the round ball to its center. At 50 yards he could regularly hit a 1 inch target and it sounded like a 22LR using slow target loads.
As the months went by, all the “pirate” radio stations went off the air. Now all he had was the local MARX 66.6FM station and it was only about how great everything was in the cities with the people. The old man hadn't seen any hikers in the area in a long time. Rarely did he see an aircraft going over and it was usually a military aircraft. But today when he was out, he heard a roaring and looked up in time to see a US F35 fighter jet closely followed by 2 fighter jets with clearly visible red stars on the bottom of their wings. The F35 was doing evasive moves as the Chinese jets were firing their guns. The last the old man saw was smoke coming from the F35 as they went out of sight.
The old man was standing there with his mouth hanging open and all kinds of questions running through his brain. What? How? Why?

That night back in the mine, he couldn't sleep with all the questions rolling around his brain. Come daylight, he was no closer to any answers. He stuck close to the mine for several days and at night listened to the radio but the stations were just all filled with how wonderful life was, never a mention of Chinese jets shooting at US jets.
A week later the old man decided to make a wide circle around his mine to check things out. He had his backpack and several days worth of food along with his rifle and spare ammo. As normal, he moved through the woods like a shadow. Animals hardly ever knew he was there. The old man was always amazed at how wonderful God's creation is. He wondered why he had spent so much of his younger years working 14 hour days for the company and never having time to see what is around him.
He was into his 2nd day of travel and about ½ way around his circuit of the mine when he heard noises. He crouched down into the bushes as the noise got louder. Soon he could see 5 people blundering their way towards him. Using his binoculars, he could see 4 Chinese soldiers with their big red stars on their hats. The old man was thinking how those stars made perfect aiming points. In the middle was someone in a flight suit with their hands tied behind their back and a hood over their head. A rope was looped around their neck and was held by 1 of the Chinese soldiers. The captive kept stumbling and the soldiers were laughing.
The old man made 3 circles around the group as they kept walking, checking for any other people that might be with them. Satisfied they were alone, he shadowed them to 1 side. About noon a halt was called by a soldier that the old man assumed was in charge. The soldiers started a small fire and started cooking some rice over it. 1 Chinese soldier walked near the captive and unbuttoned his fly and started urinating on the captive, to the laughter of the other soldiers. Another 1 then went aside behind a bush and pulled down his pants and squatted.
Figuring he wouldn't get a better chance than this, the old man sighted on the heads of the 2 soldiers near the cook fire. His rifle was loaded with the round ball ammo. His rifle made a small noise as it fired and the 1 soldier collapsed into the fire dead. The 2nd soldier had a surprised look on his face as his companion fell. The old man sighted on him and put a round ball in the center of the star on his hat. Down he went. The soldier that was urinating on the captive was slowly realizing there was trouble when he got a round ball between his eyes. The 4th soldier was just standing up when he got a round through his head and he fell face forward into his own pile of dung.
Silence expect for muffled noises from the captive laying on the ground. The old man reloaded with full power ammo and stayed concealed for 30 minutes before moving. Moving slowly and softly, he came near the prone captive. He sat the captive upright and removed the hood – to reveal a woman with a gag in her mouth. Her blonde hair was ragged and dirty, her right blue eye was blacked from a punch and her lip was all swelled up and bleeding.
The old man looked at her with no expression on his face as he pulled out his knife. Her eyes widened in fear. He said be quiet as he slid the knife under her gag.

The old man stepped back, leaving her hands tied and the leash on her neck. He asked who she was. She states that she is Lt Karen Smith, US Air Force 123-45-6780. He tells her she is not a prisoner of war, he just wants to know who she is and what happened. She responds that her hands are still tied and she has a leash. He says that is true and they will stay that way until he sorts this all out. She gives him a defiant look to which the old man simply stands up, says have a good day, shoulders his pack and turns to leave.
He is already 30 feet away before she says to wait. He turns to look at her and she starts talking, so he walks back to her. He tells her to start at the beginning. She looks at him and states that he is a non injected person. That is correct.
She says that she had been injected with the AI nano particle when it was offered. Her husband hadn't got the injection. She loved the idea of never aging, no illness and free sex. When it came time to turn in the non injected, she willingly and gladly turned her husband in. She was there when the gov people grabbed him and laughed at his futile attempts to resist. She was still laughing when he was put on a train to be taken away.
She was doing fine in her military career. Then she started noticing all the orders coming down the chain of command and the massive presence of Chinese military soldiers everywhere. When she started questioning that, her AI nano particle was turned off as punishment. Soon after, she has stolen her jet and had taken off. 5 Chinese jets had been launched after her. In aerial dogfights she had shot down 3 of them and then ran out of ammo and missiles. The 2 remaining jets had shot her plane and she had to bail out. She reached the ground, landing almost on top of a Chinese patrol, which captured her and was taking her back to a command base. That they beat her and all 4 of them repeatedly raped her every night. That her only desire now was to escape and find her husband and free him.
The old man looked her in the eyes and said that what he had heard on the shortwave radio was that the non injected had been killed and buried in a massive ditch grave.

He could see tears in her eyes when he told her that, so thought she was honestly sorry she had betrayed her husband. Karen looked at him and told him that she would still look for her husband. The old man walked behind her and ran his knife between her wrists and severed her bonds. She then removed her leash and stood up. He pointed to the cooked rice and told her to eat, which she did. As she was eating, he told her that she would need to tend her own wounds as body fluids would transfer the AI nano particles and at this time, he knew of no way to undo the injection. He told her that she could sort through the supplies of the dead soldiers and take food, water, medical and 1 rifle. He reminded her not to use the rifle except in an emergency because that sound carried far and could bring people down on her.
The old man stayed after she walked out of sight and then started covering the bodies without touching them. He was able to use a long tree branch to roll the bodies into a depression in the ground, then covered them with branches and leaves. Then made his way back to the mine.
Back inside, he set the intrusion alarms and set about replenishing the things he used from the back pack. Then laid down for a night of sleep but who can sleep with all the thoughts running in his head. US government and Chinese working together, fighter pilots being shot down, soldiers taking her to some base camp. The old man knew he could never rest until he went looking and decided to leave tomorrow and go in the direction the soldiers had been taking the pilot.

Rising early, he gathered his supplies. He put enough food in his backpack for 2 weeks and got his water bottles and water filter. He had his rifle and strapped on the holster with the pistol. He had a bandoleer of ammo and an extra 100 rounds of ammo. He was on the move by 7AM. He knew the direction the Chinese soldiers were headed so went that way.
The days and nights went by with no sign of anything and then part way through the 4th day he heard voices. He hid in the bushes and shortly 6 people came into view, 4 Chinese soldiers and 2 US soldiers. They were patrolling together with all of them armed. 1 even had a radio and the old man could hear Chinese and American being spoken.
The patrol stopped to take a break. Some lit up cigarettes, some broke out chow and 1 urinated on a bush close enough to the old man that he got some of the splatter from it. He forced himself not to react to it in disgust. A few more minutes and the patrol was on the move again, leaving behind their trash. The old man thought these guys are really sloppy.
He shadowed them for the next day, keeping a lookout for other more professional patrols and sentries. Towards the end of the day, they came to a large base. Lots of tents and soldiers of both nationalities. From his vantage point he could see dozens of tents, some men wearing shackles on their legs doing work, and a fenced in area holding about 24 women in ragged clothes.

Using his binoculars, being very careful not to cause a reflection of the lens, he studied the camp. He was able to see about 60 soldiers, several troop trucks, several supply tents and what looked like a HQ tent where he figured the leader stayed. A Chinese officer appeared to be in charge with a lower rank US officer taking orders from him. There was no fencing around the camp and overall the security seemed very relaxed, just like he had seen in the patrol.
Staying hid, he watched all day and into the evening. Towards 6PM he saw the shackled men led to an area off to the side and a long chain threaded through their shackles. They were fed a bowlful of what looked to be rice or oatmeal gruel. A few hours later a woman was selected from the group in the fenced in area and led to the HQ tent. After that, the rest of the women were delivered to the soldiers not on duty. The activities were still going on when the old man left at midnight to get some sleep.
He was back at daybreak at 6AM watching the base but other than a few soldiers releasing the shackled men and putting them to work, the rest of the soldiers didn't start moving til 9AM, including the officers. A patrol never even left til 11AM. He watched all day but nothing happened and towards evening the men were again shackled while the women were passed out to the soldiers. The old man moved down in close to the men prisoners to listen. In the beginning, all he heard was grumbling. Then some talk of what happened and how they came to be here. It seems like they all were injected and were going along with the program. Then all had went to the big cities as instructed by the government. Soon after that there was a big influx of Chinese soldiers. Some injected men started dropping dead and it was announced that all men needed to report to certain areas to update their AI nano particles. Some of the stronger men were sorted out and sent to a different area, some of the young handsome men were also sent to a different area. These men watched through windows as a “doctor” did something on his computer and the rest of the men dropped dead.
The strong men were sent off as work slaves, word had it that the young handsome men were sent off to a special camp that provided the officers that liked other men, to be their sex slaves. All injected women were being kept alive as sex slaves for soldiers and those in charge. All women at the base were injected women and were serving their 2 months here before being rotated back for a new group of women.
While the old man is observing the base, back at his home his wife was getting another promotion. She was willingly being the corporate sex toy, but she was ruthless. The men liked the fact that she willingly and enthusiastically did sexual acts that the women sex slaves had to be forced to grudgingly do. Her ruthlessness had been noted by the government and they offered her a high position in a company that was in charge of subduing the people. She accepted.

The day she started at the new company, the head boss called her into the office. He told her that the company liked her being ruthless but he was here to tell her that he was the head man and if she tried any thing against him, he would turn her AI nano particle off permanently and she would go back to being a 60 year old woman and be sent to the fields to work the rest of her short life. He told her he expected her best work for the company and to be available to satisfy him any time he called her in. In exchange she got a very generous pay, a mansion to live in with servants and as many boy toys as she wanted. He asked her if she understood and she said yes. He told her great, now please me and she asked him how he wanted it and he said to surprise him.
That night she was in her mansion and could hardly believe how great it was. Butlers and maids, fine food and a group of boy toys for her pleasure. That night she tried them out. She called 3 of them in at once and then around midnight had to replace them with 3 fresh ones because the 1st group could no longer take care of her. She was living her wildest fantasy and she was looking forward to putting down any remaining resistance to the government. The thought of squashing those pathetic rebels made her even more excited and it was 3AM before she stopped and went to sleep.
The old man had pulled back from the base to think things over. All the prisoners at the base were injected people and would be an extreme danger to him. Possible body fluids from cooking and eating or any wounds, or even 1 of them squealing on him to get better status. He made sure he wasn't being tracked as he made his way back to the mine. He didn't want to get sloppy just because the soldiers were being stupid.

I'm sure some of you are thinking that there is no way any woman would behave like this. Well, I've seen enough in my life to be able to sadly say that it is NOT a rare occurrence. To ignore it or deny does not make it untrue.
I have talked before about a woman (35) who offered to let me watch her and another woman have sex. She also liked men. She bragged about having sex with so many men she couldn't remember how many.
I used to work at another place. Every Friday the boss would call into his office a woman floor boss. She would be in there for a little bit, then come out and head to the restroom. People could hear her gurgling. Her boyfriend worked there and would get so mad but she told him “tough” she wanted her job.
Where I currently work, there is a 20 year woman who openly and loudly brags that she has sex with every man she can so that she can know what to look for in a man for marriage.
