Static cut through the garage of the No Aiming, Just Shooting gang as the radio flared into life.

"chhchhhchcc... Gateway command calling Morgan outpost, come in..."

The wind rattled against the roller door, small flurries of snow sneaking in under the not quite sealed entrance way. A couple of Buccys and Apaches sat with a dusting of snow, frozen pools of oil under them.

"Gateway command calling Morgan outpost, come in please..."

Racks of rifles sat against the wall next to stacks of ammo carefully boxed and ordered in the corner of the garage.

"Gateway command calling Morgan outpost, come in... Cathie? Sandy? Come in... pick up the damn receiver..."

At the back of the garage was a document, framed in glass. The seal of the Morgan mayor adorned the bottom corner of it, a large and ornate signature underneath it. A slight sheet of ice was forming over the protective glass making the actual words unreadable.

"Cathie?"

*static*

"Sandy?"

*static*

"Anyone?"

The roller door of the garage screamed in protest as it was rolled up - flurries of snow blowing into the space and sweeping across the stacked up gear. The icy wind swept across the central planning table sending documents scattering like ####roaches fleeing from the light.

Out of the blizzard walked three shapes; long jackets pulled up around their faces, except for one who's long cape whipped around his body like a separate creature trying to escape from its master.

One of the shapes pulled back her hood to expose a scared face framed with short cropped hair which had obviously not been cut to be fashionable but functional.

"There's no one here... Staggers, find the vehicle inventory right now".

A tall lanky man ducked under the garage door and started rifling through the various documents scattered around the garage. Eventually he pulled an oil stained document out from underneath a Buccy, examined it before exclaiming, "Got it Petals" in a slurred voice.

The scarred woman, Petals, strode over and took it from him, leafing through the pages quickly as she surveyed the garage.

"Okay most of it seems to be here, but there's and Apache, "Ice Pick" and a Landrunner, "Craps in Woods", missing."

The caped figure, now visible as a handsome young man, over 6 feet tall with a square cut jaw and side parted black hair started looking under the sheets which covered the various vehicles.

"I've got the activity roster over here Petals", he said in a slightly lispy voice as he tossed a clip board to the woman.

"Cheers "Super"... now lets see."

She flicked through the roster, raising her eyebrows in appreciation every now and then.

"Well they'd been damn busy hadn't they. Last thing registered was a raider hunt with the Mayor, but they should have been back from that days ago now."

The other two turn to look at her with worried expressions on their face, Staggers with a sad look in his eyes.

Petals sighed and lowered her head, obviously expecting the worst. She'd been friends with Cathie and Sandy since they joined the gang, and what they'd found didn't bode well... not at all...

She straightened up and turned to Staggers, "Get over to the Mayors office and see if they know anything."

He nodded and started off toward the the Mayors office in a slightly drunken gate.

Petals turned to Super and saw a slight tear in his eyes, starting to freeze on his face.

"Get the heaters turned on Super, and do a complete inventory of the gear."

He nodded and started moving around mechanically.

Petals walked down to the back of the garage towards the framed document, wiping the ice off it and smiling sadly. Eventually the smile shifted to a scowl - if they're out there, in the snow, then the raiders were going to pay. Everyone was going to pay and their foes better beware because there would be hell to pay in this frozen wasteland.

Payment would be extracted, in blood and smoking metal.

3 heavily coated figures slowly come walking towards the town gates. The Militia had their scopes on them from the watch tower for the last 300 meters... waiting... to determine if it was friend or foe.

The 3 continue forward, until one collapses in the snow. The other 2 rush over to give aid. The Militia Guard shouts out to the Sniper manning the tower, "Can you tell who they are yet!?!". "No Sir, I cannot make a positive I.D.", the Sniper replied.

As they kneel down to prop up the fallen one, they pull back her hood and goggles to see if she is still alive. The Sniper focuses his scope... "Sir!... It's the Mayor!!!. The Guard sounds off the battle siren. "Get a damn Truck ready now!!!, send an armed support vehicle to insure they get back here safely!"

Torched and Penguin were sent out to pick up our 3 missing men and women. The Militia arrive quickly and survey the surroundings. "All clear!" shouts the Scout Leader, "Now get them inside fast. If they have been out in the wilderness all this time...Rad poisoning has surely set in...Now hurry and get them back to town !!"

Blankets were wrapped around each one, trying to get them warm. "What happened out there??" asked the Scout Leader. Catalina "Curvy" Cruz explained their mission while she fights to stay awake from exhaustion. "It was a simple training mission to test out a new build for our defense team...those Asset Recovery grunts surprised us in the toxic wastes". Catalina pauses to catch her breath, then continues, "We were outnumbered 2 to 1 and the terrain... we.... we just screwed up!"

The recovery squad is almost back in town. Armed guards wait outside as the vehicles enter the gates. A voice from outside yells to clear a path and to get them to the Inn. Catalina adds more, "The No Aiming Just Shooting gang that accompanied us fought bravely, taking gun fire and ATG rounds over and over, they got shot up really bad. We ditched our vehicles and ran out of the wastes towards the mountains. Our gangs were hundreds of meters apart...all we could do is run. Once we got on the road to Morgan, we were attacked by 3 Huge Grizzly Bears!! They got between us, so we ran for cover and bagged us these nice bear coats we are wearing".

The truck parks outside the Inn. A handful of people from the Inn help everyone out and get them inside. 3 cots were placed in the lobby right next to the fireplace that was stoked with logs and burning nicely. The Mayor is still out. She is carried over to one of the cots and gently laid down. More blankets were added to get her warm.

Catalina looks over at the Mayor, "These bear coats are what kept her alive... the snow and frigid temperatures were almost to much to bare for another night". The Scout Leader asks her what happened to the other gang. Catalina lowers her head... "I don't know.... the bears split our group in two....after many clips of rifle and SMG fire echoed throughout the mountains and put those bears down.... we looked around...and no one was found".

The barkeep comes over with some hot cocoa. Don't worry Catalina, if they survived... they know how to get to Morgan. They have been defending here long enough and know how to find their way back, even in this blizzard".

The Scout Leader gets up, "You rest... Rad poisoning is nothing to take lightly. I will check the No Aiming Just Shooting's garage to see if I can find anything out".
