At the makeshift docks along the shoreline, the first bulk ship carrying building materials had arrived, and its materials were being used to construct two runways with a northwest/southeast heading, at the east end of the temporary landing strip. At the tent-headquarters, plans were underway for how to lay out the base and surrounding town, with mooring planned along the river coast on the west end planned for the Amphibious strike group that was planned to eventually be based there, and many of the comforts of large military bases back home. All those, except for on base living beyond flag officer residences and barracks. The surrounding town would be were most servicemen lived, planned to spur the cities growth. To the east of the base, there was already planned to be a downtown area that gave a false feel of a historic area; brick sidewalks, low rise, wall to wall businesses, and neoclassical architecture planned for the government buildings. Unlike the plans in Maurau, were we intend to attempt to incorporate the local system, this area is being built from the ground up, with a Fuller County, named for base commander James Fuller, to include the uninhabited wilderness around the town. The name of the town was decided to be Sherman, nominated by the servicemen serving at the soon-to-be base, though no one could track down exactly which Sherman it was named for, with many people giving different Shermans that had inspired them. Regardless, the Ibican Postal Service now has "Sherman, North Caustoles" as a valid city for mailing addresses.
Back in Maurau, construction of the base trucked along, with permanent structures rising up from the tent city. A new fuel depot made them less dependent on the frequent supply ships, and a new power generation station, planned to be subsided by solar panels on the roofs of buildings, made them independent of the city's grib, and relieved its power supply of the extra strain. The new bridge across the river, now four lanes instead of two, made higher weight transit across the river possible, and the road leading out passed the base was now being widened and decorated, with a landscaped median and banners on the street lights, out to the wilderness where it narrowed back down to two and left the "Safe zone." There, signs warned drivers about the perils that still exist on the road.
Going out from the town, joint Ibican and Maurau militia patrols pushed further out into the wilderness, attempting to locate where the control of the criminal militia began.
Taking off from Joint Base Maurau solitary finished runway, stealth AB-9 bombers and their A-18 escorts made their way to Guyit territory, where satellites had marked potential military strongholds. The A-18 escorts were to use their flir and thermal imaging to identify the presence of military forces, and lack of children, before the bombers drop their unguided Mark 84 bombs. A-18's are also armed with anti-electronic munitions to take out any radar systems found in Guyit territory.
