Black Friday is over, who was open in Paradise?

[Market]

Why?
What race doesn't eat fried chicken?

...chickens... because then they'd be cannibals.

...chickens... because then they'd be cannibals.

Seen pigeons eat it. Kinda doubt chickens have qualms.
Which reminds me...

Went to check my pod-stills( patent pending) and ran into a band of renegade mutants.
They'd set up a feast of "long pork" for themselves.
Pretty creepy.
The remnants of a field hospital for that plague was nearby. Pretty obvious how they supplied their little banquet.
At any rate, closed down that little enterprise.
Razed it to the ground, actually.
Pow graze there now.
And the wheel keeps spinning...

I am happy to have You on that trigger, Kendillin.
Stinkin' Muties are getting outta hand up in Mt. Tam.

Not anymore they're not.

But I think you're right. I feel some hard times coming.
BRACE!!!
When the smoke clears we'll see where we stand.
I'm sure Arkhunters will still be on top of things.

No rest for the wicked, or so they say. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving didn't leave me a lot of time to enjoy a cold brew a The Crater.

I was on my way there, when I got this call that the Volge were invading... yet again. So, I jumped into my roller and headed to the Bolinas Smeltery to fight off the attack. After we successfully put down the Volge siege, I was looking forward to a nice and quiet evening.

But no, Jon called me with urgent news that the infected where attacking his buddies farm. So, off I went again. I guess zombies and Volge don't care for Holidays...

[Shadow Andreas]

Ok....I'm all patched up and feeling much better now that the wounds have healed.

The weather sure has been strange lately. CRIXDA.....I have also noticed my comm acting up a bit and my EGO too. I came across some Volge today at the Bath House....causing a ruckus....but some ArkHunters and I put a stop to their shenanigans. No word on the "Army" that was marching around though....looks like they are on the lamb.....maybe waiting for "something". Either way I'm increasing my rounds of the Bay Area in hopes of finding some more information.

Cass hasn't been around much......neither has Kendillin....wonder if that's a coincidence!

I ran around with Bentu a bit this weekend....but it was quiet for me since I was still on the mend from Thanksgiving.

Been quiet out there without everyone around to cover my backside. Hopefully after the "Holiday Season" things will ease up and get back to normal.....only time will tell. I should be out patrolling this afternoon/evening for a bit. Hope to see some familiar faces out there.

[CRIXDA]

Thanks for that, Agrona.
Citizens out there riskin' their hides to keep the Petrahol flowing is what makes the frakkin' difference.
Newsflash, everyone - WE ALL USE IT. it doesn't matter if You are on a Hannibal, Rollin' a Duni, a Chally, Nomad or even a Titan or Raptor.
I know that there are a lot of Niners up there and those Jek-Forsaken motards need to be unprogrammed bad.
Bolinas supplies Pet to the ENTIRE SOUTHWEST REGION.
Folk like Agrona and the 13th and Browncoats and the rest are out there keepin' it safe for the common man, the guys who are pushin rakes and who are spinnin' wrenches.
Hellz, without each other- We got nothin.
When those infected come stumblin in and the lead begins to fly, folk pitch in and defend their own.
Come the day when their are more of them than there are of us, then what?
When We are out of Novas and Our Bmgs won't charge no more, what then?
What are folk gonna do then?
Follow the example that We showed 'em?
Some Arkhunter might fall in the dirt, defending a boy and his mother against some stinkin' muties or a raider tribe.
A poor brave hunter doin' good and right by someone they don't even know.
Does that Boy pick up that AR and Lase and Blaze on those motards and stitch 'em down?
Or does he roll over and die in the heat like a dog?
I say that He spits in his palms and sets about his work, protectin' what is his and scrabbling out a living outta nothing using his wits and his gifts like all of Us Arkhunters.
Jek, We all came from somewhere.
Even folk like Bentu who fell out of an Overland bound for the Eastern Territories. (Some say his tribe tossed him out.)
We make it, We keep it and We protect it for all folk.

Keep Your eyes on the skies, Arkhunters.

Ok all....not sure what this means for sure....or how reliable it is. I was down in San Fran busting up some DM and came across a transmission....while wiping what was left of them off my boots and going through their stuff. It said something about a meeting tomorrow with "Scourge" (whoever that is) and getting "the tech to destroy Paradise"......sounds like there is something bad going down tomorrow! The transmission was breaking up and very faint.....but this is what I heard.

I am going to be out and about tonight to cause some more trouble for DM and see what else I can find out. Tomorrow I plan on trying to intercept and crash this little get together....I don't want any new tech falling into DM hands, it's bad enough they keep trying to bring those Monolith's into the area and cause trouble.

See what you guys can find out and let me know....I'll report anything I find out.

***UPDATE*** Looks like DM are meeting around 2pm PST

I got this information from a DM commander that I "ended".....I told him I would make it quick and painless if he gave me the information I wanted. It still took a bit of "talking"....guess he thought I was joking. Anyways.....he said that there is a tech out there that can call down Ark debris and DM is getting more information and the location of this tomorrow some time around 2pm PST. The details are only known by the most high within DM....but this is the information that I got.

[CRIXDA]

1400 PST, eh?
Alright, Shadow.
I will make good and damn sure that I am cocked, locked and ready to rock at that fine hour.
No DM motards are going to smash any of OUR friends.
........comms are still a litt........oddy right now and .......to work on it.

[Mudturtle Jones]

Sounds no bueno. Damn shame...I'd been thinkin' about moving out that way...

It seems pretty much same old/same old for most people. Farmers still farm. Miners still mine. Merchants still trade. There's just been a change in the government. New mayor, new lawkeeper, the town council's been rearranged. Some of the residents are happy about it. Erep did take over the local mining operation but they kept the workers on.

Seems like I'm getting back to the Bay area just in time for some real excitement according to Shadow. All that idyllic rural pastoral splendor at my sister's was really getting on my nerves. I haven't pulled a trigger since I took out a bunch of raiders before getting on the bus.
