>Flora City's ruins are encroached upon by a tropical forest. The plants in question are toxic, radiation resistant variants of local flora and the animals in question have also mutated to some degree or another.

>Of particular note are the 4-6 foot long mutant iguanas that stalk the forests. They're omnivores that prefer fruit and vegetations but will eat meat if given the chance. They have tough hides that could fend off a knife blade and they appear to be one of the most common animals in this area.

>There are tribal villages all over the jungle, most have walls made of tree trunks sunk into the ground and most of the tribals who live their use a combination of metal and stone tools and have a few well maintained fire arms. Like Chief Hiaseth's people they have camoflauge mutations and farm mutant versions of fruits and vegetables.

>By and large the Tropical Forest has destroyed most of the structures of the city but here and there a few sky scrapers remain, choked in vegetation while they defiantly tower over the jungle.

And carrying a small amount of medicine as a gesture of good will.

>>27050634
so thhe tribals are unaffected by the enviornment because of heavy mutation and adaptation and the punks get by because they have increased resistance and they use chems aswell right, so we seem to be the only things that would realy suffer from any degree of exposure to this enviornment (atleast untill we develope something like what the punks have and even then we would still use the hasmat suits, it would just be incase of suit ruptures.

is that about right?

As before they wear Hazmat Suits, Antiballistic Vests, and Gasmasks. The drugs are carried in dufflebags which are jealously guarded by your troops.

>The Squads travel first to Chief Hiaseth's village and drop off some antirad medicine with basic instructions on its use. The tribals know of such things but rarely use them because they lack the knowledge to create them. In exchange for the medicine they give you a puch full of herbs and tell you that eating those herbs has a similar effect to the medicine you bring.

>The story is much the same in the other villages, a tribal chief, warriors who use machetes, bows, and javelins, as well as a few marksmen with rifles or smgs and women and children who labor in the fields. As with Hiaseth's people they have camoflauged skin that can change color (slowly.) They also give you a gift of these roots and offer to let your men stay overnight.

Fair enough, the ammunition we give them could also be supplemented by some simple rifles. We should also look into producing explosives such as primitive grenades and bombs, these would be invaluable both with our tactic of pinning them down and then approaching, it's simpler to lob a grenade into an enemy position than walking up and around cover and putting the men in potential danger. The explosives could also be traded and made into mines to scatter around the perimeter as additional defence.

>Your guys didn't think to pack any white flags ro reasonable facsimiles thereof since most cloth would be useless to them, they're basically trapped in their hazmat suits until they can set up special sealed tents and even then they take 30 or 40 rads on each mission they go on.

and if the opportunity presents itself, running off with one or both drones (only if they really get a good opportunity and can escape through the trees where the tank would have trouble following.

>Your men make a note of the cache, with any luck the tank in question is just a visitor and not a permanent resident.

>Your men stumble onto an underground parking garage during their journey. Its full of old, rusted vehicles but its a good source of metal, plastic, rubber, and glass and they're able to haul back 1 RP's worth of meterial.

>Before we go
Um hey... mister tank how would you like a laser turret?

>>27053196
Alright, rest up and go to the City for more resources

>>27053220
let us please not go to the city. we should use the Resources to make rifles and start the trading instead, That way we increase our security, goodwill of the locals AND start getting Resources passively.

>>27053217
Not to be an ass, but are you really thinking that's a good idea? It's already an M1 Abrams with legs; if we give it a laser turret, it's probably game over for that squad... And at least one future squad.

>>27053220
Seconding Wrenloft, while stressing caution to avoid another run-in with things like spider tanks. Additional suggestion: pay special attention to anything that can be used to create or upgrade firearms.

>>27053286
That's assuming it wouldn't be grateful we could even repair it a refuel it, it's probably military, and's we're the closest thing left to a government...

>>27053286
well, the plan does have some mereit in that we could boobytrap the turret and take the tank out that way. but asides from that, arming the tank with our most valuable defensive assets would probably be a bad idea.

>>27053327
We could try to find out its last orders and what mission parameters it has to find out any way to turn it over to our side,

Wait a while and scout the area to reduce the risks we might take, both from unseen enemies and surviving "police" should they turn out to be hostile. We should also set out lookouts to warn us if the noise from the fight attracts undue and unwanted attention.

>>27053687
I also say that we should start outfitting one man in each squad with a shotgun.

>>27053687
Pin down the hulks with sharpshooters and a couple carbiners for support, alternating fire to keep the enemy at bay. Everyone else attempts to either pincer or flank the zombies; pincer only if a viable option.

this works, if you add leaving a few lookouts to makes sure we don't get surprised by anything nasty that gets attracted by the noise. we are in the city after all, and guns tend to make a lot of noise.

True. Let's add that to my proposal, then.

>>27053819
6am here, not being able to fall asleep is a bitch for the brain.

>So current plan is to put look outs around to keep surprises to a minimum, pin down the hulks and pick them off?

concurred.

>>27053902
yup.
I'm heading to bed... when do you thing the next thread will be up op?

>>27053902
That does seem to be the current plan. And the sawed of shotguns work fine, we just need something with a lot of stopping power to be able to take out big mutants, even if it's just up Close.
>>27053911
I know, and that's just even more reason to put up lookouts, that means they could already be approaching.

>Your men have look outs posted on the perimeter, its their job to keep any surprises from becoming nasty. So far there's nothing more than curious onlookers in nearby buildings and the occasional mutant straggler who wanders close by to see what the ruckus is before leaviing

>Your Sharpshooters find suitable vantage points and begin opening fire, The rest of the Guardsmen find cover where they can and lay down covering fire. The mutants aren;t very intelligent so the zombies fall to 5.56 rounds. Unlike zombies from popular fiction a couple rounds to the center of the creature's mass works just fine. (as evidenced by the 40+ corpses that the "Policemen" created before you arrived here.)

>The Hulks are harder to kill, they manage to shrug off multiple shots to the center of their torsos and their skulls are tough enough to take multiple shots.

>Still, you have excellent marksmen and lots of ammunition so they monsters go down, which leaves you with the people that they were attacking.

>>27054187
make contact with "police" from a distance.

>>27054187
Have a man greet and approach them, Stopping at a safe distance where he could quickly hide behind cover and have men ready to provide cover should it prove needed. Keep the lookouts though.

>>27054187
Talk at a distance. Do not put away arms, but keep them pointed down to reduce suspense. Find out how this happened and how they came to be here, if they're willing to divulge. If they attack, take cover and shoot to disarm and injure; best we take them alive, because they could simply just be paranoid and/or adrenaline high.

>>27054187
>These "Police" sport minor mutations. Their eyes and hair are blue and their bodies are much fitter than the average humans. Their armor is a combination of standard riot gear and primitive chainmail. They make use of old, well maintained weapons that obviously came from a Police amory and seem to have paramilitary training. They keep their guns trained on your men from their hiding place and then someone yells. "We're sending out a negotiator!"

>In a few moments one of the armored police officers, unarmed, leaves the safety of the gas station and walks across the field of corpses to confront your men.

>"We don't have any food supplies or ammunition to spare, you can kill me but seeing as we're both well armed that'll just result in a whole lot of pointless slaughter." The man is somewhere in his middle 30s, his skin has an unnatrual number of prominent veins and he looks a little too muscular for a normal human being. He's got an old west styled badge pinned on his chest and a star tattooed on his cheek in simple black ink. "I strongly suggest you let us walk out of here, we don't want any trouble and I'm sure you don't either."

>How do you respond?

>>27054303
we could ask them if they want to join our group

>>27054303
I vote that we divulge our purpose in being here to them to set them at ease. Be honest, but do not be detailed. Nothing regarding where we're from, how many we have, just tell them the base facts. Ask if they have a place to stay.

>>27054303
"Ok, well, that sucks. You guys got a name?"
make sure to take some of the mutants back as research samples

>>27054355
and if they are part of a bigger group try to have them contact us later on

>>27054303
"Why, you're welcome. saving you guys was nothing really, you don't need to be so humbled and thankfull, it was the least we could do. And in regards to the not having food or ammunition to spare, we might, and a Group that seems so... capable such as yours might have valuable information and assorted pieces of technology and Resources we might find useful, so how about we talk more at a later time at a set location. We can then discuss how this chance encounter might be beneficial to both of our groups. I mean, it's not like we've already proven ourselves beneficial to you guys."

>>27054303
"Oh com'on if we wanted to kill you or take your stuff we would have let the zombies kill you, we were just wondering if, since you say you are low on supplies, you wouldnt mind joining up with us, we could supply you with protected shelter and food in exchange for your services and well let you leave whever you feel it just aint workin out. hows that sound?"

> The group apparently are patrolmen from "The Law Men" A group from deeper in the city ruins. They are reluctant to share their Immediete Goals and HQ Location. But they would be more than happy to accept any Ammunition (9 Millimeter for Pistol, 12 Gauge for Shotgun.) Or food your squad has to offer.

>The Law Men have no interest in joining your group, they already have shelter and food and were attempting to return to those things when they were ambushed by mutants.

>Their negotiator isn't feeling chatty and seems far more concerned with getting his people out of this situationb without being shot than joining up with a group of total unknowns.

>Srsly You Guise
>If you want pepople to join you, you need to make a name for yourself or contact them in an official capacity

"Well, it was nice meeting you guys."
Tell them we might be seeing each other again in the future. Gather zombie/hulk/mutant corpses for research later.

Hand the "police" a 3 or 4 magazines of ammo

>>27054585
set up a meeting between us and the Law Men having allies in the city would be useful

>>27054585
we tell them that we can offer ammunition, medicin and various other useful supplies, we are interested in what they have to offer and would be very pleased if they would send a small party to this location in 20days to discuss further relations. We will give them a few samples of our ammunitions and Medical supplies we've got in the squad so they can make a decision easier.

well in 20 days we need to go meet the law men so that

>>27054856
research the mutie zombies while they ater still "fresh" I supose

>>27054856
I vote that we meet the lawmen in official capacity, and either work on using the scrap ATVs as a base for superior vehicle research/creation, or dissect the mutants for science. Whichever option is more popular is where my vote will go.

>>27054856
we gotta purify those seeds and start growing our antichem/antirad meds

so if we cant do that yet then upgrade the med bay so we can

>>27054856
First off we should start making rifles and ammunition for trade with the tribals. When the time for our meeting with the lawmen come we should first send scouts in advance to make sure we're not walking into an ambush and then bring an assortment of our "wares", but not too much so that they decide that it would be more worth it to kill us and just take it.

>>27055352
Sleep sounds like a good idea, good night and thanks for the quest.

May I suggest we use this time to discuss our future goals?

Our guys have to wander around in Hazmat suits becausethe environment will kill them if they're exposed to it for extended periods.

We need to either upgrade our hazmat suits so they are easier to move around in, stealthier, and maybe armorier or we need to build a better med lab and start making plasmids.

>>27055523
Hazmat suits:
Pros- can be upgraded with more armour, stealth capabilities etc; we won't have to use any other armour if we have amoured hazmat suits; the general look of them can be intimidating to mutants, bandits and such; easy to use.

Cons- expensive (use a lot of potentially very valuable/scarce resources, that may need to be used in moderation; noisy (unless we develop ways to silence them, which seems unlikely); prone to any kind of mechanical failure.

Plasmids:
Pros: lots of mobility; nothing needed to maintain them; use no resources to make (once we've developed them)

Cons: may have unwanted side affects on certain people; our hazmat suits will be useless once we've developed these; may be uncomfortable to consume; we'll have to develop separate armour and stealth systems to wear when using these.

I vote to develop our hazmat suits as it is the more economic, as we won't have to invest more of our resources in making extra armour and gear to use with the plasmids

>>27058077
Hazmat suits strike me as more sensible.

We can include things like a positive presure system to keep contaminants out and maybe a thin layer of gel that automatically seals punctures. Aside from that it'd be relatively easy to make armored padding and camoflauge for the suits.

On the otherhand developing passive resistances to radiation and poison, which most mutants seem to have, is mighty appealing. More so if we can make hulking mutants to act as heavy infantry.
