Vladimír Shurla [6]: Wait, what are you doing? You have a radio.
"Durp."
You turn on the radio, and immediately voices start coming from the speakers in your cockpit. Gah, what the hell is going on out there? There must be five people all talking at once on the same damn channel!
"HEY ASSCLOWNS, SHUTUP!"
They shut up.
"Take turns speaking, dammit! I can't hear a goddamn thing on here! And someone get a lift over to Slot 1, I'm stuck in my mech's cockpit and it can't start up."

Aark-han [3]: Deciding that it would be better to stick together, you follow Amazigh at a safe-ish distance. You also see when his mech's foot crunches through the ground.

Amazigh
"Amazigh" [3]: You start walking southward, but you barely get 30 feet when your mech gives a lurch, and your left side sinks down for some reason. Switching cameras to the belly cam, it seems that your foot landed squarely on a manhole cover, one clearly not designed to hold up a mecha. Now that you look around, you can make out the faint imprint of a road around here, covered in dust. This... complicates things.

James Argus [6]: "Hey, this won't wear off halfway through the mission, right?"
"Not unless you remove the needle. The drip you've got should last longer than any reasonably timed mission, and this is just a scavenging run. But just in case something does go wrong, we glued a hard plastic dome over the needle so that it can't get dislodged. Believe me, you'll be dead long before things get bumpy enough to make your legs feel any pain."
"...Good to know? That's...actually kinda disconcerting..."
"Yeah I get that a lot."

Game Events: Here you fellows are. Had to yoink it off an old backup we have of an online map database, so like it said, it isn't the greatest. But it shows the basic layout of the area, so it'll do. The Green X to the north is you idiots, the Blue X's are your targets. They're where we think the best chances for supplies are. The big red zone to the east is all dangerous. Stay out of it if possible. We aren't sure what is that way, but comm drones have picked up large heat signatures and movement out there. Something big enough to pose a threat. They've stayed away from this stretch of coast though, so outside the red is safe. It's your call whether or not to go after the targets in the danger zone.

AREA MAP UPLOADED.

Mission 1 has started. In 4 turns, the ship will be able to drop off players on the mainland again. Anyone not in their mechs and ready to go by that time will forfeit playing until Mission 1 is over.

Vladimír Shurla [10]: IMPATIENT WAITING.
You stick your head out the door of your cockpit just in time to see a lift rising up to almost decapitate you! You duck back in in time, and the mechanic who brought the lift up to save you opens the door to the lift. You climb off, onto the platform, and the mechanic climbs into your mecha.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Fixing it."

Aark-han [2]: Amazigh near effortlessly pulls his mech's foot out of the hole, and begins heading south. You follow, and obliviously step in the same hole. The difference being that your leg is small enough to fit all the way in the hole. You try to free yourself, to no avail.

"Amazigh" [9]: Wait, you're a huge-ass robot, roads are no threat to you. You easily pull out your mecha-foot, breaking chunks off the side of the hole. You then begin piloting your mecha southward, towards the first targets. Looking out towards the Danger Zone, you don't see anything that looks alive, even with your Advanced Optics. Either there's nothing there right now, or they're hiding pretty well. Let's hope it stays that way.
"Let's keep headed south for now, and tackle the two western targets first, then take a look at the closest eastern target and see how things go from there. If it's too hot for us we can easily move out. That sound Good to you guys?"

Game Events: Amazigh and Kaime walk about halfway down the coast, stopping near an abandoned building for a second to take a closer look at the city they're approaching. Amazigh scans it for any life, but thankfully finds nothing. Kaime looks around at the abandoned building. It's pretty big in human sizes, but your mecha could easily smash their way through it. Kaime then walks to the side of the building, and sees, tucked out of view, the broken base of a radio transmitter tower! And next to that, a decrepit sign reading "WI- Televi-ion" in faded letters. It seems the N and s have completely faded away.

AREA MAP UPLOADED.

Mission 1 has started. In 3 turns, the ship will be able to drop off players on the mainland again. Anyone not in their mechs and ready to go by that time will forfeit playing until Mission 1 is over.

BTW, you guys can and will have to get out of your mechs to look around interesting buildings. And not all interesting buildings will be marked on the map. Also waiting on Veg.
