    You awake to another day, another wretched day...but this one starts with gunfire. It is not the first day that started with gunfire, and it will certainly not be the last, but it was an unwelcome change all the same.

    You are a survivor of two apocalypses. The first was the uprise of the machines. The second was the solution to the first- total thermonuclear cleansing to cripple both sides. Ever since the day that man irradiated his own home in the interest of a meek survival, you've drifted along the nuclear wasteland.

    Which is what brought you here. Automatically, your hands grab the AK-47 slung around your chest as your feet propel you up from your mangled mattress.

    Which is what brought you here. Automatically, your hands grab the AK-47 slung around your chest as your feet propel you up from your mangled mattress.

    You take a quick inventory as the underground room shakes from an explosion. The gas lantern to the right tips over and rolls along the floor, its light flickering dimly.

    You're dressed in a tattered camouflage shawl, a heavy leather vest worn underneath. You have an AK-47 with two full magazines, a sawed-off shotgun with six shells, three cans of beans and a single can of powdered milk in a duffel, and a tiny Geiger counter attached to your belt. Your old gas mask, which has been missing a left lens since a few days ago, has been left discarded in the duffel. You're going to have to go without gas protection, it seems.

    Somebody knocks heavily at the chunk of plasterboard you've called a door. A Russian-accented voice calls through to you, "Get up! Get up you lazy ass! Vey are not fucking around zis time!"

    You stalk up to the door, AK in hand as you kick down the piece of plasterboard. It's the only way to get about when you're underground and apparently under attack.

    A heavy-set man, armed with a pipe rifle, catches the brunt of a nasty look on your face. He's lucky he wasn't a card-carrying capitalist. Yet the man isn't thrown off by your manner, instead cocking the hammer on his rifle.

    "Ve bloody raiders are at our doorstep!" He barked, gesturing down the gas-lit hallway. Several lanterns had been set atop various folding tables and crates, a few other people visible as they began to set up a barricade. The sounds of gunfire were getting closer.

    "The fuckin' assholes brought zome drones, too. I zink they are serious about zis raid. I'd suggest packink up and getting on your vay, zere is work for us /real/ warriors to be doing!" He said, gesturing down the way opposite of the barricade.

    Up above, something highly explosive went up. A portion of the concrete ceiling collapsed over the barricade, the men jumping away just in time as the roar of a machine gun joined the fray.

    Rushing towards the barricade, another explosion rocks the building. Your memory starts to come up with relevant facts. You're in New Anchorage, a former weather station that was converted into a small underground town. Right now you're in the dorms, fairly nestled back from the town. Those raiders will need to cut through the basement access of the main building, down the stairwell, through the sewers and all the way past the emergency generators to get here. Though, knowing the raiders, they'd probably go through the sewers and try to flank everywhere at once.

    There were five other men at the barricade. Well, four men and a very ugly woman. Each one was armed with a motley assortment of rifles and pistols, only one of them wearing the armband that signified a town militia member. They were currently struggling to toss some empty jerry cans onto the barricade.

    The militia member, obviously the barricade leader, turns to you. "Leave?" He inquires, "We're not damn well going to abandon our only shelter because some fucking scavengers bought some fancier toys! We're the damned Anchorage Militia, and we don't back down! Now ball up and help us or get the hell out of our way!"

    Grabbing your AK-47 in your left hand, you begin to help the woman heft the jerry can onto the other side of the barricade. It clangs noisily as it settles in place.

    The barricade leader, however, will have none of that. "Bah! Listen, if you want to help, go use those guns of yours towards the front. I have no idea how the damned fight is going, and that Rooskie asshole is too caught up getting the others funneled forward. Think you can stand do a bit of running forward? We'll be safe back here so long as we keep adding shit to the barricade."

    Hopping over the barricade and taking a careful, steady jog, you're left on your own for the first time. The rooms up ahead have all been abandoned, their inhabitants either having already fled or currently further ahead helping fight the good fight.

    You take a look of your surroundings as you move on. The actual rooms were mostly taken up with small, now-abandoned shops. Minor, yet useful, goods like duct tape and water purification tablets are stored away in tiny lockboxes. The common and generally useless junk like lugnuts, scrap metal, and parts for various weapons have been left in the open along fold-out counters and repurposed grill tops.

    People generally sleep wherever they can. Mattresses are still left lying on the floor, with personal possessions in napsacks or whatever cases they can make do with. A few such cases are left scattered along the floor, as well as empty bullet casings.

    There's a fork in the way ahead as well. Somebody helpfully scrawled directions to either side. To the right is "Shanty's Shells & Shit". The weapons bazaar-slash-armory of the community.

    To the left is "Mgmt". Management, which generally encompassed everything actually /useful/ to keeping this place run. Either way would lead to the sewer entrances-slash-exits and further onward.

    You ruffle through what personal belongings you can locate. Old wine boxes are cracked open, lockboxes have their locks forced open, and in total you grab:
    -Two rolls of duct tape
    -Ten water purification tablets, each one good for a single glass of water
    -Eighty dollars
    -A small assortment of screws and bolts
    -A single diamond ring that looks somewhat valuable. Probably a wedding gift.

    Suitably looted up, you move towards the Shells & Shit. Poetically named, the way towards the store went through the latrines. The reek of feces is quite powerful, with a few bodies scattered across the hallway leading down to the bathrooms and in the bathroom doorways. Evidently, the raiders had made a breach in the defenses somewhere and slipped a few through.

    The sound of yelling could be heard coming from the women's bathroom, at least two masculine voices and a single effeminate one. What they were screaming about couldn't be understood clearly, but it sounded like it was going to get ugly. Fast.

    Shouldering your AK-47, you draw your sawed-off before ducking into the women's room. Its not much different from the men's latrine: A series of busted toilets and a few moldy sinks running along either side of the room. Faded pink tile has been broken in at least a dozen places and quite a bit of blood has been spilled recently.

    Two women lie dead in the stall, their corpses filled with fresh hot lead. A third one is currently holding a pair of militia members at gunpoint, the two veteran warriors designated by their armbands. Their guns are at the woman's feet.

    The woman herself is dressed in a torn long-neck sweater and a pair of heavy jeans. She has a set of wild hair that only accents the dark substance smeared across the side of her face as she screams at the two men.

    "On your knees! Don't move, you fucking pigs!" She yells, the two men noticing your entrance instantly.

    "The bitch is crazy! Shoot her!" One of the militiamen pleads to you, which draws her pistol to whip around in your direction. You have only a split second to choose between ducking back into cover or shooting her.

    Or reasoning with her, if she /can/ be reasoned with.

    You react quicker, your sawed-off shotgun in hand. Pulling the trigger, you send a wide burst of birdshot screaming out of the barrel. Whether your actual target was the woman or the corpses (You sick fuck), the effect is the same. Pellets bounce off the tile, shredding the woman's legs as she wails like a banshee.

    Her pistol barks on full auto, a plethora of bullets ripping through the tile wall as you dive behind it. The lighting strobes wildly as more explosions echo overhead, the man who begged for you to shoot earlier yelling now.

    "Die, bitch, die!" You hear, followed by further screams and struggling. Your demand for an explanation falls on deaf ears.

    Peeking through one of the holes in the tile wall, you see the dark-skinned militia member brandishing a bowie knife whilst struggling with the injured woman. She's screaming incoherently as her legs are dead weight under her, clawing at the militiaman's face with her nails.

    Darkie looks up at you as you tell him to get off or you'll shoot, his lighter-skinned companion scrabbling forward to grab his fallen tommy gun.

    "This bitch needs to-" He begins, before the woman's questing nails plunge into his left eye. He screams loudly as she claws down, the man falling onto his back as blood gushes from his face.

    The man rushing for his gun stops at this point, the threat of a shotgun motivating him to halt as soon as the Thompson is within reach. The woman is grunting for air as she clutches something you'd rather not EYE-dentify in her bloody hands.

    Darkie looks out of the fight, his knife getting coated in his own blood as he continues to thrash on the floor, applying pressure to what remains of the injury site.

    Rushing from cover, you jam the remaining barrel of your shotgun into her face. Or thereabouts, as far as anybody can really care. She keeps panting as blood pores from the holes in her legs before spitting on the barrel of your gun.

    "I'm not a fucking raider!" She protests, "These pigs tried to fucking rape me!"

    Tommy Boy (Or so you have come to think of the man with the Thompson) spits on the ground, "Like hell we did! This bitch is crazy, she killed those other broads and was going to cap us next!"

    Tommy Boy has, as stated, a Thompson submachine gun. Darkie is packing a bowie knife with what looks like a sniper rifle of some kind as his main weapon. The sniper rifle, naturally, is currently about half a dozen feet away from where the woman and he are respectively laying.

    The dead bodies look like they got torn up by some kind of automatic weapon. Lots of bullet holes, and a good amount of broken tile and holes already on the wall behind them.

    But then again, the bitch's now-empty pistol was an automatic weapon too. You know that much first hand.

    Tommy Boy decides to take Option B. He scuttles towards Darkie, slowly drawing a roll of bandages from his jacket pocket.

    "Bitch clawed me!" Darkie complains as Tommy Boy begins to patch him up. "That fucking bitch took my eye out, and you're just going to fucking let her walk?! She killed those bitches! Fucking gut her!"

    >>8571420
    Kicking down on the woman's hand, you take away her empty pistol. Which, you realize, is a 9mm converted to be fully automatic. Tommy Boy's gun is the Thompson submachine gun, which you scoot towards the bulky Dragunov sniper rifle near the corner. The sniper rifle is definitely out, but either the Thomspon or the pistol could have done the girls in.

    As for the girls themselves, there appears to have been a ferocious struggle. Whether or not they were raped is hard to tell with all the blood and lead in them, and you hardly have fucking CSI equipment on hand.

    As for the men, they both have signs of injuries. Darkie's face is clawed up thanks to his scuffle with the panting woman, whilst Tommy Boy seems unharmed. Though you don't exactly have the luxury of looking over every square inch of either of them thanks to, you know, a fucking war going on.

    >>8571449
    Though you toss the bitch a roll of tape anyways, which she simply stares at. The shot is still in her legs and she hardly looks all that willing to agonize herself in pulling it out by hand.

    Tommy Boy nods as he tries to pick Darkie up on his shoulder. "We'll need to get that shit cleaned out, man, but you'll make it." He consoles to his friend.

    Darkie simply glares at you with his remaining eye, the wadded bandages tinged slightly red. "You're just going to help this murdering cunt?! Fucking shoot her! Shoot her!" He insists, brandishing his knife.

    >>8571521
    "I...what? How I got here?" She asks, momentarily stunned, "Why the fuck do you care? You're letting these raping bastards get away! Are you fucking mental or something? Give me the gun if you don't have the balls to kill them!"

    There are more important things to worry about- this bitch isn't going anywhere and you two sure as hell don't have any place else to go, so we'll deal with 'who raped who' AFTER the raiders are dead.Now if we don't get BOTH of you cunts to the medics, RIGHT NOW, you're going to go into shock, and I'm sure as hell not dragging your sorry corpses around.

    The two sides respectively shut up, Darkie, the woman, and Tommy Boy all just gawking at you stupidly. Your authority asserted, you kneel down next to the woman to try and carry her on your shoulder. She doesn't seem entirely crippled, but neither does she seem fit for anything more than limping.

    Inspecting her automatic pistol in your left hand, she bites her lip. "I, err.." She stumbles, looking at you.

    Trying to whip your sawed-off out of reach, your left hand slams into her wounded leg. She lets out a scream before buckling, her hands ferociously working to try and tear the sawed-off out of your grasp. She almost succeeds, too, the force of her buckling leg resulting in the barrel now pointing right towards the ceiling.

    Darkie lets out a cry of, "I fucking knew it!" As he leaps forward, barreling into the two of you. It's now a three-way sprawl, the sawn-off shotgun jerking wildly in each direction.

    The shotgun doesn't go off, thankfully, and Darkie gives a classic elbow-to-the-jaw on the traitorous bitch. With a heavy thud her head bounces off the tile, going limp as she's knocked out for a second.

    Dragging your shotgun out of her limp grip, you stuff it back into her face as her eyes open. Her trap card, so to speak, has been activated.

    And it didn't work as planned.

    Darkie hefts his bowie knife for a killing blow, but stops as you tell him to tie her hands. He reluctantly does so, tying her hands up with the duct tape.

    "Don't fucking like this." He replied, "We should just shoot the bitch and be done with it. Fuck, man, I'll cut her right here, right now!"

    >>8572081
    And, to be honest, you feel your finger hover over the trigger. It'd be so easy to pay her back for that scar over your eyebrow. Tommy Boy decides to interrupt at this point.

    "Uhh, sorry to fucking interrupt, but I haven't heard any explosions for a bit! Either the attack's over, or we're going to look at some fucking company soon!"

    Applying the roll a bit more liberally, the woman's hands and feet are fully bound. She looks about in a general daze as you do so, Bravo (Darkie) and Tommy Boy heading towards the doorway to stand guard.

    You toss Tommy Boy his submachine gun, and Bravo grabs his sniper rifle from the corner. Ripping out a fresh length of duct tape, the gunfire becomes a bit more constant, but now it's closer than ever.

    "I'm warning you, you fucking pigs! I'm the only one here that can have you spared! If you tie me up, I'll-"

    "Just shut up, will you?" Tommy Boy asks her, before giving her a solid kick to the jaw. She finally shuts up in time for you to duct tape her bruised mouth over.

    Giving her a thorough search, you grab two magazines for the automatic pistol, as well as a small clip of bills. No more than thirty dollars...but that's fine. Every dollar counts.

    Stuck at a bit of a crossroads, you heft the woman over your shoulder. Darkie and Tommy Boy look around.

    "I think we should grab some extra firepower from Shelly." Darkie said, jerking his thumb towards Shells & Shit's general direction. "They couldn't have taken /everything/ from the armory yet...I think."

    Tommy shook his head, "We've got guns already. If we try to scavenge, we'll run the risk of running smack dab into any raiders heading that way. I say we move up to the front and help where we can. The raiders are obviously already inside, and if they've got any 'bots with 'em, we'll-"

    "Need all the guns we can get!" Darkie argued, walking towards the gun shop. "But...I suppose I'll leave it up to our new chief here." He conceded, "What do you say? Get some guns first? Or head right towards the front?"

    You debate internally for a few moments, but the urge to get some kickass firepower overwhelms your interest in getting shot by raiders. With the injured woman on your shoulder, the three of you still walking head to the front. Somewhat comforting is the fact that you hear explosions again, but only comforting in the sense of "We're still being enough of a nuisance to warrant dramatic explosions".

    Guns & Shit lies at the end of the corridor, an old bulkhead from a naval ship having been bolted to the doorway. It's sealed up tighter than a nunnery, with no wheel on the outside.

    There's a hiss, "Please, come in." He says, "Quickly, though! I don't want any of them in here, taking my things! No, no, can't have that..."

    The bulkhead swung outward with a hiss of hydraulics, revealing a particularly short man...thing standing on a stairway. He was obviously a mutant, for no natural-born human was the four-foot freak he was.

    Sporting a hairless body, the mutant shopkeeper stared at the lot of you with lidless eyes. "Show the money?" He asked.

    You instead show him the fact that you're sporting a number of fair firearms. Your companions simply sport shit-eating grins as they brandish their own weapons.

    "Hey, Johnny?" Darkie asked, "I think I fuckin' like the new guy's style."

    The interior of the gunstore had mostly been looted, and probably by the militiamen before you. But even though the lockers on the outer half were devoid of everything but a few loose shotgun shells and bullets, the "Inner" half was quite well stocked with general goods.

    Though that inner half was behind a chainlink fence with a chest-height doorway built into it. A digital lock was attached to the side. A swanky piece of tech for such a cramped hovel of an arms dealer.

    Pulling back the hammer on your shotgun in suitably dramatic fashion, the merchant's buggy eyes go even wider.

    "I, err, service exits? Yes, yes. In the back. One. To the sewers. Sealed, though, by grate. Very, err, serviceable." He replies, heading towards the door in the grate. "Err, very sorry about the comment, sir. Perhaps a discount is in order? Customer satisfaction, number one!"

    Weapon dealers like you always keep the good stuff for yourself, so when the bad stuff's all worn out it's even more valuable. Where's the good stuff, ya little freak? Where are you hiding it? Tell us or you'll be raider chow too.

    You try the ol' tactic of "Do what I say and you might get rewarded. Or else."

    Perhaps not the BEST tactic, but it works when you have more guns in use than the other side. The mutant backs down quite quickly, tapping at the keypad next to the fence. "In the back! The back!" He chirrups, "Please don't kill me! I, uhh, help! I know important things! I can fix things! I, uhh, uhh- I want to live!"

    He shakes his head at the question of your captive's identity. "Don't now her. But will look at guns, yes...just let me leave!" He continued meekly, inspecting your AK-47 and sawed-off first. Tommy simply shakes his head at the offer, with Darkie forking over his sniper rifle without a complaint. They could kill the tiny piece of shit easily anyways.

    Slipping under the now-open doorway in the fence, you emerge on the other side. It's pretty well stocked, and you can hardly find much of a want for goods. There's toolboxes of several varieties atop the main metal desk with a pump-action shotgun taped to the underside of it. The drawers have busted locks on them and yield a smattering of ammo and cash. Three hundred dollars in loose money, two boxes of standard rifle ammunition (Totaling to about twelve magazines), and a pair of drums for the Tommy Gun. All of which are scooted across the divider, minus whatever pickings you feel like.

    There's plenty else along the racks. Deactivated drones, hydrogen cells for vehicles, even a pair of kevlar vests that have been patched up a bit. A cabinet of medical supplies is also present, with pill bottles ranging from painkillers to prescription shit like Ritalin and Marijuana. A damn good tiding as far as drugs go, as well as normal stuff like penicillin and antibiotics.

    There's also a door leading into the back room. Where the REAL heavy stuff is kept...which only causes your mouth to water slightly. Paydirt!

    You take what you find reasonable. Which is to say, you loot a good portion of the medicine, stock up on the rifle ammo, and use a screwdriver to pop out the broken lens of your gasmask and wedge in a new one. Oh, and the kelvar vests. Tommy Boy takes the other vest while you strap yours on. Darkie looks content not to have one, what with being a long-range marksman and all.

    There's still that back room though, beckoning to you. As well as the unpowered drones, the little mechanical buggers waiting along the top shelf for somebody to walk up and buy them.

    Well if we're not fleeing, who cares if the drones are dangerous? Power 'em up and point them at the raiders. They may not be useful (why else would this toad still have them?), but they might at least distract the enemy long enough for the miltia to fist-fuck them.

    Grabbing a drone and a power cell under your arm, you realize that the little bugger is actually missing just the power cell...a power cell slot that is perfectly designed for the very same device you're now carrying. Granted, you've also seen men pull off wiring a car battery into a drone for the same effect.

    But that's a concern for later! Walking towards the door, you simply turn the handle and enter. Compared to the rest of New Anchorage, this bastard could actually afford a /real/ door made of /real/ metal.

    The reason for such ornamentation is obvious enough, and you feel a sudden impulse to drop what you're holding as you look into the merchant's secret stash. The conniving little fucker...

    He could've bought his way out of whatever the raiders intended with this kind of stash! You take your sweet time looking from left to right, making a full inventory of what this little bastard accumulated from his thievery and dealings.

    There was, to the immediate left, a full-body radiation suit currently being worn by a plastic mannequin. In the mannequin's hands was an actual, genuine Smartgun. A bit of Pre-Uprising tech normally seen only in the hands of military remnants. It could tell apart different targets just by /aiming/ at them...and adjust accordingly.

    The next item in the line was a small mountain of drugs, packaged and ready for moving about. Pure meth, stored in doggy bone bags. Marijuana, easily a dozen kilos in clingwrap squares...and a few other substances tossed onto the small mountain of chems, including military drugs like self-sterilizing stimulant injectors.

    The centerpiece of the room was something that made even your mouth water.

    In the center of the room, situated on a handmade holding rack and gleaming in the dim light like the treasure it was, was what appeared to be some kind of energy weapon. It had a vaguely tubular shape, with a large slot in the middle for power cells to go into. At its tip was an outward-stretching cone that ended in four elongated points.

    This crazy fucking midget had, somehow, got his hands on an Exterminator energy cannon. Generally speaking, that was on par with being able to domesticate a T-Rex with only a fisherman's knife. It wasn't a perfect adaption to human use, but it LOOKED functional enough, what with a trigger and such.

    The second-best thing in the room was to the immediate right. Amongst a stack of seemingly priceless paintings (But actually pretty useless to you immediately. Honestly, who wanted a painting of some smiling bitch?) was a rack of six M16s. M16s with scopes, drum magazines, and underslung grenade launchers. All nice and orderly in a single metal footlocker.

    Of course, this raised the question of WHY that little prick had so much firepower stacked into one room, but what did you care of him smuggling or whatever? Those toys were YOURS now!

    Do not want M-16.

    It's a jamming jamrifle.

    Anyway, we might want to know what country we're in - it'll determine what rifle we should be carrying. The AK-47 is chambered in a round we stand almost no real chance of finding in decent quantity in the U.S.

    Consider restraining the mutant. He likely has several weapons stashed in unassuming places, as well as security measures for such situations. You also assume that he would buy his safety with his contraband - yet wasn't the threat of raiders why he allowed numerous armed strangers inside to poke around?
    Also, have the guy with the Tommy-gun watch your back, unless the front door was locked.

    You don't really know off the top of your head how the weapon actually functions. You've only heard rumors about how energy weapons like that are even USED, and that generally involves an entire squad of troopers getting killed horribly.

    >>8573943
    Actually quite workable, but there's two main factors putting a problem to that: The raiders are still bearing down on you, and you don't know who that midget mutant has been dealing with.

    The front door is lockABLE, mainly because it uses hydraulics to open or shut. Granted, if you use that, your only way in or out will be to go directly into the sewers.

    Stocked up on munitions, you could probably do a quick run out of there and back, but the silence once more doesn't indicate much good.

    >>8574043
    Generally common knowledge. You could get three of them up-and-running with the current power cell supply, and they're operated by identifying yourself as the "operator" during their startup sequence. They can follow most verbal commands from there.

    >>8574016

    Today we manned The Wall. Nobody likes it and nobody is given a choice about it.

    People come to The Wall you turn them away. Doenst matter what reason they're there for just that you send them packing. You'll get people from the zones that have somehow made it this far begging for food, water, anything really. Sometimes they'll say they've got skills or money or information... Even say they havent been over their rad dosage. So tell him to stand at the yellow line while you get a guy or two to keep a gun on 'em. Then you step out through the gate with an old counter to check him.

    Stupid ones try to rush the gate. Even the tough ones drop pritty fast when they go over the line. Smarter ones try to bribe you when you're checking 'em.

    Had one guy, looked normal enough, said he'd made off with a haul of Jewlery from some nowhere survivor camp. Even offered me some if I got him inside. All I did was wave the counter over some of his 'jewery' and waited for it to spike.
    It did.

    I told him 'buyer beware' and sent him packing back down the road he'd come in from. If the people he'd stole from didnt catch him he would have been dead in a couple days from rad poisoning.

    And this is why you always turn people away when you're manning The Wall.
