The monorail fell out of favor with the public well before the Fall. As a result, it sat forgotten for many years. With only a few access points in out of the way locations, the Las Vegas Monorail system would make an excellent base of operations.
Or so I thought.
Last night I sat in one of the big Wynnland trees, watching the Mono access tower on the edge of Paradise. Just after dark, I saw some sort of activity in what was supposed to be an abandoned car. Within minutes, they poured out. I don't know how many of them.
They walked along the monorail until they found something of interest, either useful items or food (one caught a coyote unawares). When they found something that struck their fancy, they'd tumble over the edge, suspended either by rope or some sort of bungee, nab it with their hands or wicked hooks, then climb back up, nimble as spiders.
I have no evidence that these strange folk are hostile, but I don't like the look of them. If you ask me, I don't think we'll be sharing that monorail. If we want it, we'll have to take it.
Can we?
Would it be worth it?
