The computer's running? Shit, let's get on that. See what data it's got.

That gun could be useful, but with all we have to carry, it's really not the time.

Yeah, lets check the data now, and remember this computer is here, in case we need one.

Check out the computer first, the power could go off at any moment. Afterwards we should probably check to see if its hooked up to some sort of generator or if its plugged into some electrical grid.

Speaking of power, Roger checks under the desk and finds a old hydrogen generator. Surely the canister should have run out by now.

This doesn't bode well.

> *Cha-chik*

Roger looks about, seems the survivor you had met earlier has grabbed the shotgun.

Do you still wish to trust him? Ask him to join your settlement? What shall you do now that he has a better gun than the Contender on hand?

A watchman would be useful, dunno if he's the guy for the job though.

Maybe say something like "Careful, pal, someone could get hurt."
IF he chills out, we could ask him what he's doing here.

Once reliable power and water is established it would be trivial to make more hydrogen through electrolysis. We should take the hydro generator, a portable power source is always useful.

Don't be condescending to the guy on his gun cocking.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your living situation like friend? I've still got a ton of work ahead of me if I'm going to restore that old market out west and honestly I could use another pair of hands. I don't have a whole lot of anything material that I could offer you currently, but if there's a goal or something you're trying to work toward, maybe we could help each-other.

>>786020
Yes, this.

This is also a ruin of uncertain security state and structural soundness, we should continue scanning the area for anything we've missed and proceed with the rest of our search&loot.

Ask him if he wants to join you, and if not, if he wants to remain allies and possibly trade in the future.

inb4 he robs your ass.

> The Vote is to help the survivor.

Roger tosses a arm around and regales tales of how he's got a settlement package and how his new place isn't too far off.

The survivor seems taken in by the sales pitch of a large safe area that still needs settlers, he asks if he can bring his family.

You do not currently have the food stocks to feed a family, you barely have enough for Roger. Do you wish to let the survivor take his family in with him?

Roger does not seem a pied piper type to me. He's all about real solutions, at nominally reasonable prices.

Level with the guy, and state that IF the food situation were sorted, they'd be welcome, but he's not a magician.

Well I mean we can just go buy more food, right?

Well... There are two more large buildings between here and the new place.
We were only going to be able to scavenge one, but with another pair of hands we might be able to go rummage through another.

Also, looking at the map, we're situated on the Coast.
Even without fishing gear, sand crabs can be some good eatin.

Tell the full truth: We need all the hands we can get but we've only just been airlifted in and haven't even been to the site we want to set up in permanently yet. That said, families would be something we want since our mandate is settlement.

How are we expected to handle the question of food in the short, medium and long long-term here? Over the long term I'd imagine we're talking agriculture, but there's a long way between a harvested and processed crop and right here, right now.

>>790318
Give the full whole truth.
We don't have much currently, only a mandate for a location.

The location is near the coast, and creating gear to harvest from the coast shouldn't be TOO bad.

But it's far enough in that we can definitely start some crops too.

Basically that starting it up will be work, but you can promise your effort in his family's protection as well as the future of the settlement

The unfortunate thing about radiation is, I don't know how arable the land will be. Some, none, potatoes only?

And sure, maybe there's some local game and crabs, but are we sure they'll be available year round?

>>790582
The particular crabs I'm referring too are also sometimes known as sand fleas.
Tiny, exist all over the world at all times of year, and probably outnumber humanity exponentially. I can see them outliving man in a catastrophe. Tasty and trivial to obtain with some practice. Shell removal can be fairly work intensive due to the large number required to make a meal out of them.

Of course that assumes wild game is edible without some sort of special processing beyond cooking.

> The Vote is to tell the Survivor the Truth.

Roger lays out the truth and says that the food situation is a bit desperate.

The Survivor lets out a laugh and says that he has 80 food Material. He's got two kids and a lovely wife waiting for some form of safety.

With the 6 of you, it'd be rationed down to at best 4 days, a full week if really stretched thin, but it'd be a start and scavenging wouldn't hurt. A settler to go with you on hauls for scavenging during day-cycles would help. And news of acceptance would easily bring in more survivors who may bring more food already.

But keep in mind scavenging is randomized. So you won't always get a good haul of food until you set up a proper greenhouse, your settler package includes some minor seeds for food.

What will you do? Let him go off and get his family? Or tell him another time later when you have a better settlement.

A week is enough wiggle room to get the food train rolling.

Hasn't anyone set up farms yet?

We haven't even been to the site we've picked out to stay at yet, let alone built anything there.

Suggest we finish up looting this place first, and then ask him if he wants to join us for visiting the site we're planning to set up in first or talk to his family first.

>>793188
Heres my vote.

>>793188
Not a bad Idea.

>>793188
Sounds like a good idea, We should probably ask him about where he was living before and possible people to watch out for.

> Overwhelming Vote is to see if the Survivor wants to see the location

The survivor gives the thumbs up, he wants to see where he's going to be keeping his family and how much work needs to be done.

Roger asks for his name and gets "Darius".

Roger and Darius are now a party, anything else that needs to be done here, or shall you strip it of parts and move onto the settlement?

Strip the place I guess. Prioritise food, then 30/70 split between Shelter and Mechanical materials? The marketplace needs a lot of fixing up and I assume mechanical bits are harder to come by.

Ask if survivor has a picture they can show us, about who their family is. If this guy is a bandit separated from his group, e might be scouting for targets. If he's legit, he can tell us lots about his family.

....Do we even know this guy's name yet?

Strip it for parts, share stories while heading to your new settlement. See if this guy is legit, or if he's making crap up as he goes.

Strip it, including the forklift. Also wasnt tgere a basement?
Also take the empty hydrogen back up generator.

"Oh crap, fucking Steel Empire!" Darius says worried,

Roger sits back and waits.

> Do you wish to wait or do you wish to attempt a action?

Not much we can due from this range, and I'm not about to try shooting him.

Maintain position, until something changes.

Ready your Rifle and Chill behind that rock. Don't engage unless spotted. We're quite distant from The Steel Empire's borders. If we stay hidden and let him on his way, he'll likely be the last one we see for a while.
If we drop him here, more will surely follow to investigate.

>>798970
Agreed. Making a break risks getting spotted, and taking him out will draw heat. The map showed they had a satellite array, which means comms. He can call for backup before we can get through that heavy duty armor.

Beat feet only if and when you are spotted. Otherwise, be quiet and wait for him to move on.

What do we know about their detection capabilities, have they got good IR, sonar and other imaging to find us even behind cover? Every choice seems like a bad choice, except hiding, but that might be the worst choice if it's useless. If it is useless, or suspected useless, maybe we should get out of here.

The Scout is gone, Roger pokes out his head and watches the moving figure. That was close. Good choice deciding to stay hidden for now.

Darius brings up that it's atypical for Steel Empire grunts to be this far out. What could they be doing?

Care to speculate or save that for the safety of your new home?

Mark this place with a question mark on the map. If they are here there may be something they are looking for.

Let's get home.

If I were them I'd be either searching for something specific, or surveying for planting sensors. Perhaps the computer we disturbed was important to them.

Leaving strikes me as a good idea.

>>801757
I agree. This exact spot doesn't seem to be what they're looking for, but we should be careful not to get near their area of investigation if we don't have to.

>>801748
it might have something to do with the computer that we found, but first we gotta get to the shelter before we think about that.

Hmmm. Maybe give our findings a once-over, to see if we're not dragging along any locator chips.

But on the other hand, time is of the essence, and we'd rather not be here after dark. It... does get dark still, right?

> The two finally make it to the base.

There it is, your home and HQ, you can save your progress here and even recover from damage, there is no place like home.

Darius wants to drop off the items you are carrying, but you must decided, you have 4 floors not including the underground garage.

Which floor will be dedicated to storage of your items, this floor will only ever be used for storage as you build up the other floors as merchant locations, livable spaces, and crafting zones.

Our raw materials are going to be heavier by far than anything we build with them.

To that effect, why not put them underground, and minimize the strain on the floor?

>>805447
If that's not an option, then 2nd floor.

>>805446
2nd floor for storage. It'll be easier to transport stuff between floors as needed if it's in the middle. 1st floor will likely be the one we do business out of.

I'd suggest 3rd floor for residences, garage for vehicle storage/crafting/maintenance/general mechanical stuff (that way all the tools are in one place), and 4th floor eventually being a nest for watchmen/snipers/gunners. We'll need security and advance warning of threats, after all, and higher ground is better for that.

2nd floor seems convenient enough.
Lets get the Lay of this place.

>>805446
2nd floor sounds good, makes it harder to loot the place. Though we might want to expand the base to have a basement some time in the future so we don't have to worry about the floor buckling under the weight.

>>805446
2nd floor. Also a radical suggestion. Darius has a family, a family means more available man hours, and a deeper buy into to our cause now that the family is invested in it.

We could put them to work scavenging other areas, fixing up the home base, or simply defending. In effect giving us the ability to be in multiple areas at once.

Excellent! Congratulations your settlement base has begun! You only need power and water now! Your Hydrogen generator can be built as a small set for 15 Mechanical. Or a Medium for 30 mechanical. Currently the minimum needed to support yourself is minimum.

Roger and Darius complete the generator upgrade, you now have plenty of power to support up to 10 people or 5 large projects. Your end goal for power is to eventually build a small Fusion Generator. Sadly those plans are really hard to find and can't be found by settler scavenging.

Darius and Roger sit back and think about what to do next.

You currently only have enough people to do one more task before you should really get some sleep. You can force Roger to stay awake and you may get more done overnight, but Roger will pick up less items and notice even less the next day. Only balance it out if you feel he must go out and find something.

You still hold 60 shelter, many basic designs such as barricades, beds, or even a basic water barrel are available to you. What will you do?

Beds first. If everyone's well rested they'll work better on finishing the other stuff.

Rest Roger, I'd say picking up supplies is more important than rushing out facilities at this point.

Building beds seems practical and comfortable.

Water is important

Make some beds, then test em out. No need to stay up late because we dont urgently need to get work done.
