The camera moves from one position to another.

By the way time is passing fast and here we are with recon investigating the area and no repositioning of floater yet.

They drive me crazy having the floater on open ocean while a system is forming!

They should give the codes to a trustworthy Storm2k member and let us reposition it if they can't handle it...

I cant' believe that still there is NO floater with possibly a TD forming this morning.

All they have to do is to drop down a little bit that position of floater 2.
