Busy Week For Desert Rescues

Raconteur Staff

DEEP DESERT - Emergency response teams report the number of deep desert rescues has spiked after a a large flare lifted off the surface of our nearer star, earlier this week.

"That flare, combined with ferro-magnetic properties of our deeper deserts caused many desert-rated locators and comms to fail. Some were off by just by a few degrees and others just packed it in." said one rescue squad leader.

Consumer reporters recommend "hardened" locators with satellite commlink backups over cheaper, more available models.
