Three bedraggled members of the 4saken stagger in from the wastes, their skin with fresh rad marks.

"Barkeep, drinks," calls Joseph Hellman, a 4saken veteran. The two women with him are obviously not townies but fellow gang members.

"Sorry again, guys," says Helen, her shoulders slumped and her eyes facing the floor. "This isn't SS. `We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.` I think the line goes." Helen looks up and attempts a half-hearted chuckle.

"You did fine, kid," says McKenzie West, the other, more seasoned female ganger. "Don't forget you were driving, too. We might not have made it out had you panicked like some of the other greeners."

"I would hardly call that `making it out`. I bought us a little time, is all. And now the bastards have our Apache." Helen tries to play it cool like one of the vets and hide the fact that her hands are still trembling.

"Nothing you could do," said Hellman, cleaning the crud from his rifle now that he was out of the sands. "Living to fight another day is the important part. You'll learn that." Hopefully before you get killed, of course, he thought.

McKenzie, the redhead, happily cradled her drink, savoring the brew. "That was a bit much. They came out of nowhere, all around us, car cannons, rockets, and I'd swear they never missed. So what now?"

"I'll see if we can catch our lorry crew and get a ride back," said Joe. "We have to report back. Frank won't be happy, but at least he's not digging any graves this time."

"He almost was, Hellman," said McKenzie, taking a swig of her drink. "Snakes, I hate snakes."

"So do I, Kenzie," said Joe, checking the sights on his rifle yet again, "So do I...."

[OOC: Okay, so what's a functional level of scout skill for GW? I can see that 40 is profoundly inadequate. 4:1 odds, 60 meters, etc.]
