No one paid much attention to the beat up red Phoenix pulling into town. The chassis had clearly taken some abuse but the patchwork of mid-grade armor was fairly new, and it was clear this was a car barely repaired from salvage except for the fresh 4.0 sticking out through the hood. No weapons. A poor man's runner. Somehow it had made it through the badlands.

Brandi Burks had made it all the way from Somerset in this thing. It had seemed a ridiculous assignment at the time and now that she had arrived she knew for sure that it was. She asked a few questions around town, checked up on prices and availabilities, and dutifully wrote these in the journal she had been assigned. Then rather than brood in the bar or attract any unwanted attention she got one to go and sat in her car and drank. Gone was the bubbly eager girl of a few weeks ago. She had wanted "in", and this is what she got. A fool's errand. Some cruel initiation. But she would show them. But first, she would have to make it back.

It would be rough going. It occured to Brandi that her chances were slim, that she was in real danger. The bandits here were many, and their cars were better equipped, as she had noted in her journal. The only thing between her and death was a 4.0, her wits, and her resolve. She had beaten death getting here and after she slept off her buzz it was going to be time to do it again.

She had made it here in one piece, and she damn well knew when she made it back to Somerset alive a few people were going to lose some bets.
