Black Friday is over, who was open in Paradise?

[Shadow Andreas]

I heard a rumor about this too......wonder if that Volge army marching around Paradise has anything to do with the rumors of pulling Ark debris down? What I have heard is that those stinkin DM troops are looking for the tech to bring down hulls...that can be really bad for all of us because who knows where they might drop one....maybe right on top of John or Torc. We need to look into this further and see what we can put together. At all costs....we can't let DM get this tech and we can't have a Volge army prancing through our homes doing what they want.

[CRIXDA]

I agree, Shadow.
It looks like Warhorse isn't going to have his Roller on the hardball for a day or two, I haven't seen Kendillin or Bentu yet or anyone else for that matter.
Anyone else got a clue who made this Jekkin' tech for maggin' the hulls out of orbit? They have been close but if the Dark Matter can get in them and get better tech than WE have, We might have some serious problems in a week or so. And if these frakkin' stories of that column of Volge marchin' up through Sausalito and into Marin are true, there ain't NO WAY that the Shtako won't hit the fan.
Can they target houses?
What if the Dark Matter pulls one down on Ara's Consulate or on Top-Notch or Last Chance?
If they hit Bolinas then the Petrahol will stop!
I will try and find Slorr and his raider tribe and see if those knoll-heads will see some sense.
Help us out here, Ark hunters!

So I ran into Varus (god he just talks.....on and on) and he heard rumor, through the Echelon Mercs, that an Irath spirit rider in Missouri was able to control a pice of Ark hull that was on a crash course with a town out there and diverted it so that it would not destroy the town....no one knows how and he has since disappeared. Take it for what it is....it did come from Varus after all.

[CRIXDA]

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that where Eren has launched those anti-body rockets to? Over in Missouri somewhich ways?
Maybe that Irathi is the key to controlling where the Ark hulls land. I don't know, I am fuelling my roller at Last Chance in a little while and heading over to Bolinas because I have heard tell of a bunch of howlers and screamers running in there and trying to take it over, arms flailing and spitting this bile all over. Damndest thing.
What with the 99'ers in the area too.
Keep Your eyes on the skies for those Arks.

You are right....that is where that rocket was sent with the vaccine. Haven't heard anything else about what happened with that.

I don't know....it was Varus that I heard it from and he is so often full of shtako. I'll keep my ear to the ground and see if I can come up with anything else. I will be on early patrol again tomorrow and take a cruise by Bolinas and Last Chance to see if anything is going on.

Yeah...that place in old Missouri used to be St Louis. Now they call it Defiance, after that big jekkin' battle at the end of the war. I've heard about it. They're a stalwart lot out there. I 'member bein' in St Louis back in the bad old days...there were places in that town that looked like the apocalypse already came and went. Strangely enough, that old Gateway Arch survived...that's a hoot. That thing used to be closed all the time for repairs, but let the end of the world come, and what survives? DA ARCH!

I got a line on one of the gulanite miners out there. Seems that Eye-rath got hit with some razor rain and woke up at his own funeral. Damnedest thing anybody ever saw. Anyhoo...the guy goes bat-shtako crazy---even more so than Iraths usually are---storms the Arch, calls down an Ark hull, then orders it to miss the Arch and Defiance by barely a mile. Word on the street is that the guy was so jacked from the arktech on the razor rain that hit him that the local lawkeeper had to empty his entire mag into the guy to shut him down.

Anyway...guess it depends on how much ya really believe.

I've been prowling around old San Fran...geez, that was a cold swim. The DM stooges at the old toll gates on the south end of the GGB almost wrecked my second roller. Love that ground clearance! But after I got past the gates, I ran over to the old Bath House. Imagine my surprise when a lucky shot from a Volge popped one of the tires! I ended up diving for it into the Bay...I guess Volge don't like Earth water. They didn't follow. I swam back around the point and came up under the south end of the GGB. Those Volge p.o'd me enough, I actually went back for my roller. Had to change the tire, but the Volge had moved on.

Maybe that's the trick to beating the Volge...all we gotta do is chase 'em into the Bay, then stand there and watch 'em drown...

[kendillin]

Iraths? Crazy?
Why whatever do you mean?
We seem alright to me!

[CRIXDA]

Yeah, Kendillin's right.
I don't see anything wrong with any of We Iraths.
Sure, We can get fueled up on Irathi Ale and skydive off of the big needle downtown for fun, but I promise You that Shadow said "follow me, I know the way!", jumped first and I couldn't let that little scrimshaw beat me to the hardball. I outweight him by a good 75 rocks and I am at least a skitterling carapice taller than him.
Jek. Ask anyone. For a Human, He is cave-guano crazy - I am telling You that some of the things that he does just doesn't make sense : He made a metal chest-piece and ape-taped some shape-charge to it and borrowed a riot helmet for One of Slorr's guys one drunken night. He goes into the Matron pit and runs up to one of those cute little fuzzballs and says "Gimme a hug, Huney-Bun!" And hits the det-cord. He had goo all over him and stunk like Varus Doo-bag after an all-night Cred -counting session. I wouldn't even pull some of the stunts that he pulls, so don't look at Iraths sideways.

[Shadow Andreas]

I like to think the term "CRAZY" is subjective. Just because I do things you think are "crazy" doesn't mean I am....I mean after all.....it's normal for me!

So it's been a little on the quiet side around Paradise in the wee hours of the morning, no new rumors or "stories". Just the normal day to day....but you know what they say, "the calm before the storm".... I got a feeling something bad is coming.....just can't shake the feeling that things are about to get really...."interesting" around here!

[CRIXDA]

I believe that You are right, "crazy" is kind of arbitrary.
What I am having a little trouble understanding these days is that an Arkhunter called "Beck" spotted an Army of Volge or so the rumor says and hasn't come in here to share it - I would like to hear it firsthand.
I know that a lot of others are reading this stuff, We need to know what's going on in the Territories.
If I don't see You around and get to talk to You - tell us about it here, Arkhunters!
Shadow, Warhorse, Kendillin, Bentu and I are telling everyone what We have seen and how things are going on and about our adventures, what do You Arkhunters have going on?
I feel like Shadow does, something bad is coming and We are going to need everyone's help.
