Staging out of the Kongo River Research Base, the team deploys over Area ZX-363 to get more data on how the extreme, high terrain of the Great Desert affects upper-level air currents for L-Tech Sci Ind.

new bit.ly/KerBalloonProgโฆ contract will have the high-altitude team transfer to the Kongo River Research Base to then head south and release a balloon over the edge of the Great Desert. Could have normally packed along UTVs, instead will have to charter an airship

it's now the high-altitude KerBalloon crew's turn to depart via airship to the Kongo River Research Facility, from where they will base their foray via same airship south to the Great Desert. Could have ferried crew in the Deuce for cheap but had to transport equipment anyways

the high-altitude KerBalloon team overcame the troubles of their mission and have returned to Kongo River Research Base. They will stay there until their next assignment is confirmed in case it is in the region. Release photo shows just how barren it is out there
