Subject took up contract work as an air conditioning repairman in his hometown of Las Vegas following a forced early retirement from the GI Joe Unit. Standard surveillance on Tadur found him living a simple life of quiet desperation until he simply walked into the desert and disappeared. Unequipped to follow him into harsh desert conditions, operatives lost track of him and have not been able to pick up a trail. Agents believe Tadur walked out into the Nevada desert to die. President Lewis, when personally informed about this development, said simply: "Good. I hope dehydration gets him." Editor's note: we do not have historic documentation about a rivalry between Tadur and Lewis, but hearsay indicates a distinct animosity between the two.)
"Dusty called Hawk up a few months after we disbanded. Well, I mean he got to Hawk through some of the other guys. We'd lost him - I mean flat out, no chance, could not find the man. But he calls us from a sat phone and asked if we needed a home base for our 'new gig.' Turns out, over the years, Dusty had located all these forgotten bunkers in the desert - sites for weapons testing, fallout shelters, abandoned labs and more. He found the most liveable one and then reached out to the rest of the team to weigh in. So anyway, we have a clubhouse in the desert now and Dusty says to us as we're moving in: 'you wouldn't believe what they have out in Area 54...'"
