You were taking to us? I thought you were talking to the facility people. I don't even know why I'm here, apart from to drink.

Aye. I'm not here as a runner, just on professional interest. Who is the main contact with Aysun?

I was utterly confused about exactly what he meant too.

I'd prefer not to need your services doc, but I would be might glad to have them available in case I do. I'm sure the others feel the same. The problem on my end is that I never got a deal made so as of now I have no compensation lined up. That was going to be my next order of business. How about for now, you can consider me an on-call bodyguard until we know more?

You did get an offer from Aysun - 10k, free equipment from the shops in Fortune and free flights from the company, plus bonuses for unspecified things.

So all your drinks and food, stuff you might get from the outfitters or other shops (the doctors, the smith, the livery) is all free.

The main problem right now in terms of payment is your fee payer got shot out the air.

Smith wrote:Well, I am rather interested to see where these things are coming from, so I shall accompany you anyway. I'm sure we can work out some amenable terms once we find you fee payer.

So, what you gonna do?

The twisted hordes have been thrown back again, the drones have been put down for the moment. You can kit yourselves out in the town for things needed to survive outside its walls, you know (roughly) where Aysun crashed and a new day will be dawning outside in a few hours.

How about we get some cold weather and climbing gear (or does deej already have a rope and shit?) and go back to see if we can find Aysun when the sun comes up? Im pretty sure everyone wants to get paid and that aint going to happen untill we find her.

I concur. I'll pack some mittens.

Not a bad idea. I have a grapple gun with 100m of microwire. I have the appropriate gloves to use it, but attempting to use it without said gloves could result in missing appendages. I will attempt to locate some more gloves for the use of others, possibly Aysun if she's alive and well enough to climb out herself.

TO THE SHOPS!

Okay - further up the street is a long faux log cabin affair with a sign outside stating outfitters, this is where you'll get clothing, rope, tools etc.

Across the road is a large multi-storey building with an anvil sign and wrought ironwork stating smithy & stud. In actual fact it's all manner of weapons and vehicles/vehicle parts.

There's a couple of large bipedal walker mech type deals standing out front, think powerlifter from alien but with enclosed cockpit and plenty guns hanging off. They're quite beat up, with dents, scratches and bullet holes. Both have a liberal coating of dried blood which is being washed off by a small flitting drone spraying water through a high pressure nozzle at them. It's half cleaned one of the walkers.

I'll head to the outfitters and ask if they have any microwire gloves and/or climbing equipment.

I'll knock back my booze and follow.

On the way over Jasper eyes up the walkers.

As Jon is walking up the street he catches sight of the walkers and immediately vears off towards them

If Jon is able to find anyone around them he will ask:

There is only a drone outside.

Everyone going the outfitters first then?

That's where I'm headed.

Yep, outfitters first and then on to the gun shop.

Jon strolls into the multistory building to find someone to ask about the walkers, stroking a bloodstained part of them as he goes past

Well assuming we're inside the shop and everyone is here, let's see if we can chivvy things along and get some clothes bought.

Hello. My colleagues and I are looking for some cold weather clothes that would be suitable for traversing the terrain outside. I do not have much in the way of liquid funds on me at the moment, but I do have these implants that I'm sure would suffice for trade.
