If I had to take a partner, I suppose I’d take Distorted since he’s got the map.

Otherwise, I’d go alone, if I went at all. The money just doesn’t entice me enough. The adventure itself might. The idea of being able to witness the early development of the nation would be exciting…in the planning stages. In fact, you’d only see what’s happening within a few hundred yards of your position as you moved across the country.

Having a companion would increase the number of bones that could break, possible allergies, noise, illnesses, mishaps, and induce the possibility of conflict.

I can see SF guys choosing a former teammate as a partner because of pre-established trust. Not being SF, I have no such companion.
