The Newport Clinic. A rinky-dink little shitstain in the poorest neighborhood of the city. The supplies are cheap, the patients are desperate, and your coworkers are split on either not caring, or caring too much and actually thinking that the man with the “broken” hand isn’t here to try and get OxyContin. You’ve been there for 5 years now though, so you can’t bear to find another place of work, even though you would be qualified for everything short of the Mayo Clinic.

You pull into the parking lot of the clinic, ten minutes late because of some fight 10 cars ahead of you, so you had to take the ‘scenic” route. You roll up the windows on your 2005 Ford Escape, a gift from your dad upon graduating from Medical School, and make sure to lock your doors. Before you do, you check your glove compartment. You remember you had your M1911 for defense in this neighborhood, as you have treated a gunshot at least once a week, and you don't want to die just yet . For the past two days though, it’s been nothing but the Flu, Strep throat, and strangely, bites. That’s neither here nor there though, because today is Tax Day, your fucking luck. You walk into the clinic and prepare to get to work.

“Good morning doctor. Sorry to make you come in again, but both Johnson and Alyssa are sick, probably with that godforsaken flu that has been going around.” Your aid and childhood friend, Peyton McDand relays to you, albeit a little groggily. It’s probably for the best, as we have not only a backup of patients, but you also still have to fill out the tax forms. I have filled out everything but the basic info, like your name. Here’s the form.” He says as he hands you a clipboard with a stack of thick papers clipped onto them.

Alright, writing.

>Well that fucking sucked Peyton, couldn’t you have done that yourself? It doesn’t matter, lets just do our job.

“Alright Xavier, don’t have to be a bully about it.” He says, in a playfully hurt tone. “We have 10 patients to look at, and I have ordered them from worst condition to best condition. Normally some of these people would be in the hospital, but with how packed they are lately, no dice.”

He hands you another clipboard with ten names and a few details underneath.

>Leroy Jacobs
Chills, vomiting, infected bite, insomnia, diarrhea, fever

>Jessica Hamilton
Vomiting, infected bite, insomnia, irritability, bloodshot eyes, constant bloody nose, fever

>Harry Smith
Vomiting, chills, insomnia, fever, discoloring of skin, broken arm

>Belvin Jules
Fractured arm, gunshot grazing wound

>Andrew Stevenson
Bite that needs cleaned and gauze applied, no other symptoms

Who do you want to see first?

>>1501316
First, since there seems to be a lot of people who have bites, try and get a timeline as to what is going on.

Sudden outbreaks of violence or delusion are tracked by hospitals as they can predict what will happen to a certain extent, and prep for future arrivals.

Then, because Xavier is a giant nerd (I know very few in Medicine who aren't), he goes and secretly gets a concealable blunt weapon to hide on his person.

>Alright Mr. Jacobs, please follow me to the room on the right. I have to grab a little paperwork, so I will see you in there.

Leroy gets up and heads towards one of the two rooms, the one you didn’t tell him to go into, but it was more of a shuffle than an actual walk and you feel bad for the man so you don’t correct him. He must be in a lot of pain. You reach behind the reception desk to grab a small billy club you keep for safe keeping in case of a burglary or an upset patient, and you slips it into your lab coat, just in case this guy gets angry.

These people would be in much better care at an actual hospital. There is no formal paperwork on anyone here. I mean, you don’t even really have a good data system, you just try to help the people the best you can. You walk into the room where Leroy is to find him slumped on the ground between the door and the medical gurney set up. You help him back up and sit him on a chair in the room, checking his temperature. His temperature is at 104, an extremely dangerous level, and Leroy looks to be on death’s door. You are about to go get Peyton to call the cops, when you hear a scream from the waiting room.

“AH SHIT, XAVIER GET THE FUCK IN HERE AND GET THIS CRAZY BITCH OFF OF ME!” Peyton screams from the other room, while giving audible grunts very vivid language.

You run out to the waiting room to see a patient attacking Peyton, with another Patient trying to help Peyton push the woman off, and the other woman has ran out of the clinic.

>Use your club to grip it around her neck to pull her off of Peyton

You pull out your billy club from your lab coat and push, who you now know as Andrew, out of the way so you can get behind the attacker. You put the club in front of her neck, and yank back. She flies to the floor as you whip around her so you don’t get pinned beneath her. She gets up off the ground and turns towards you. She has blood coming out of her mouth, her eyes are glazed over and crystal blue, and her eyes are bleeding.

She lunges at you before you can react, and she would have pinned you if it wasn’t for Andrew. He tackles her from the side and takes her right into a coffee table, breaking it. Normally this would have been the end of the story. The cops would have come, you would have filed a police report, and she would have been arrested.

However, today was not your day. Firstly, the deranged woman did not just break the table, she had a wooden splinter driven right up through her abdomen. Secondly, when you tried to call the police, you had gotten a busy signal, a fucking busy signal. Thirdly, the woman who you assumed was dead, as there was a giant wooden shard through her body, was now writhing around trying to grab Andrew’s leg. To make matters worse, there is now a banging noise coming from inside of the room where Mr. jacobs was being evaluated. Your two companions now look at you, expectantly.

It’s 8:15 in the morning, and you are terrified. What are you going to possibly do now?

>>1503201
Well shit, we better make sure that woman is no longer a threat. Via repeated blows to the head.

Either that or go get our gun. Some firepower might settle our nerves. Also a quicker and (relatively) cleaner way to put the deranged woman down, should we agree to do that.

>>1503309
That's great. The 3 of us can crush her head easily enough

>I know what I am about to suggest is fucking insane, and illegal, but we should beat her head in. She obviously is high on some sort of drug, and the police aren’t answering. Let’s just solve this problem right now.

You raise your club to get ready to give the woman a “Minority Special” when Peyton grabs your arm with a firm grip.

“Are you your of your fucking mind Xavier? Killing a woman in cold blood? We need to call an ambulance or something. We are in a clinic for god sake. I don’t want to be an accomplice here, and Andrew probably doesn’t want to be either.” He warns, gesturing over to Andrew, who is looking down at the writing woman.

“Listen man, I’m not a fancy doctor like you, but I did two tours in Iraq and I know when something is a lost cause. This bitch should have been dead about 30 seconds ago, I mean there isn’t even blood flowing out anymore. Whatever she is, she isn’t alive. We should just bash her skull in like Xavier recommended.” Andrew argues, absent mindedly, as he was still looking down at the woman.

>Andrew has a point Peyton. We still have to deal with that asshole in the other room banging on the door. Andrew, here is the club. You look to be the one best suited for this. I am going to run out to get my pistol just in case.

You walk out of the front door and into the parking lot. For some reason you expect the world to be in flames, with riots happening in the streets, but everything seems normal, besides the obvious police and ambulance sirens throughout the city and the steady stream of military aircraft in the sky. You unlock your door, open your glovebox and get your gun. You grab the pistol and the two magazines you have with it, putting the metal sticks into your lab coat and tucking the sidearm into the back of your pants.

You walk back into the clinic cautiously and see Andrew holding a bloody club in one hand, while the other is wiping his face off with a cloth. I guess there was still some blood in her. The woman that was previously attacking your best friend now had a head that resembles a taco, more than a holder of one of the most elusive things in science. Peyton looks over to you and hitches his thumb over to the banging coming from the door,

>Open the door and just shoot the guy. You’re already in the shit, might as well get deeper.
>Leave him. It’s time to get the fuck out of this clinic anyway.
>Have Andrew work his magic with the club again.

>>1503454

See to the other patients, or at least Belvin Jules. Probably Andrew Stevenson too to see if early treatment can save the bitten

If they want to come with us after, fine. If not we'll just patch them up quick to give them a better chance-maybe the last time we'll do our job in /this/ clinic.

>>1503489
The other patients skedaddled after the woman attacked Peyton.

A woman named Belvin is weird, but hey, it's 2017

>>1503498
Sorry, my mistake

>>1503488
This.

>>1503488
It's a very small and poorly funded clinic. There is no other doctors, as they are sick, and you didn't have enough money for a security guard. That's why you had a gun and that billy club. Everything else is possible though.
>>1503515
Don't worry about it

>Andrew, I need your help again. I am going to open the door carefully, and if this guy flies out and starts to attack, you bludgeon him with the club. If you need any more help, I have my pistol and will shoot him.

"That's a mighty risky plan you got there. If we don't get fucked, you have to bandage my arm up and then you still owe me one." Andrew shoots back, in a begrudgingly but compliant tone.

Peyton runs into the storage room, for a reason lost to you, but he isn't important right now. Well, here goes nothing.

Anyone have thoughts on where we'll go after we leave the clinic? Do you have something in mind QM?

Because I was thinking we could try getting on a boat. Although that might be difficult if we don't know of any specific boats we could get on. My point however is that Lake Michigan isn't far.

Other than that just leaving the city seems like a good idea. By car obviously (if we decide against my boat idea), and perhaps after stopping at our home or something to get supplies/personal possessions.

I'm assuming we'll stick with our buddy Peyton. Also Andrew, and we need to make sure and treat him right after our current action.
somehow I got confused about who's who, I think I'm clear on it now though.

>Alright Andrew, I will open the door and get out of your way. Just be ready to either be VERY relieved, or beat the hell out of an old man with a Billy Club.

You walk up to the door, as the banging continues on the other side of the door by a very unhappy patient. Apparently you need to work on your bedside manners. You grab a hold on the door handle while Andrew raises his club in a striking position. Peyton is still nowhere to be seen.

“GO!” Andrew shouts, as you fling the door open and out of the way of the oncoming shuffle.

You reach for your gun, but there is really no need. Andrew takes one large swing and cracks the head of what was formerly Mr. Jacobs, splattering brain, blood and viscera all over the door and wall. You really hope this was legal, because no amount of bleach is cleaning this shit up.

>Jesus Christ Andrew, that was quite a swing there. Here i was ready to go Rambo and you got the job done.

Andrew looked ready to respond with a witty one-liner when Peyton came back into the lobby, interrupting what was surely an action hero’s remark.

“Alright guys, we can’t stay here, and we surely can’t leave these medical supplies to be stolen. So I filled this bag with what we had of value. Antibiotics, gauze, suturing, disinfectants, a little morphine, painkillers, and a good amount of glue.” Peyton lists off as he looks into the duffel bag of medical supplies. “What the hell do we do now?”

After wrapping up Andrew’s arm, and checking for a temperature (he didn’t have one), you three loaded into your car and started the engine. Still, the world seems strangely in order. Fuck, maybe you really did just murder two innocent people that were just on drugs.

“Alright Doc, I got some business to attend to down at my garage, we’re going there first. Trust me, it’ll be worth your time” Andrew says, while buckling his seatbelt. Who knew he paid attention to proper road safety.

“Not going to happen. We have to get to the Police Station right away and report these murders. They will understand since we couldn’t get a hold of them on the phone.” Peyton argues, in a worrying tone.

>Go to the Garage first. You owe Andrew and he did say he will make it worth your while.
>Go to the Police Station. If you go anywhere else, the Police could get very suspicious and make your life a living hell
>Other


So now I guess it’s time to spill the beans on what that special pro/con was. You got to see the infection firsthand, and you also get an early notice before shit hits the fan completely. You get to choose to go to 3 different places before everything goes tits up, so choose wisely.

>>1503673
>go to the garage
i think the police currently has bigger problems or atleast soon

>>1503684
I agree.

Although since we're listening to Andrew, I think we can at least ask him for the story on that bite.

>>1503703
yeah we need to know more about the outbreak

>Peyton, stop being a bitch and listen to what I have to say. There was a woman who shouldn’t have been alive, writhing on the ground. There was an old man who lunged at Andrew and tried to kill him. The police aren’t even answering their phones. If Andrew has somewhere where we will be safe until we can get a handle on our situation, then we are going. End of discussion.

And with that, Peyton shut up and skulked in the back seat. Andrew gave you the directions to the garage, and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, you think that this would be the best time for a few questions, of the medical variety.

>Andrew, you have a bite and everything, but you show none of the symptoms of the other patients. How did you get your bite, and how did you feel afterwards?

“So I was working late two nights ago in the garage, tuning my car as I do every month, and I heard some racket coming from the back office. I was alone, so no one else was of course here. I grabbed my Monkey Wrench and snuck to the back. There was some asshole eating my so I ran up and tackled him. I didn’t know the guy was going to fucking bite me, so I had put my arm around his neck when he took a chunk out of me. I pushed him to the ground, beat his head in, and hid the body out back in a barrel, then went home. As for how I felt, four hours later my head was on fire and I was vomiting up everything I had in me. My nose was bleeding and I passed out on my kitchen floor. I woke up about five hours later and I was fine. I cleaned my bandage and went to work.” Andrew relayed to you, as he was making the actions to accompany it.

>Well I wasn’t asking for your life story or anything, but I am glad you are okay. As long as you clean the gauze and keep the wound clean, you should be fine in no time. Peyton, is there anything on the news as of now?

“Well, O’Hare just cancelled all flights in and out, and President Trump just shut our borders as well, and the US military is being deployed in major US cities to “stop the riots that have paralyzed the country”. Peyton read, as he scanned his phone.

>Well that’s great. Let’s just get inside the garage so we can plan our next move.

The Ford pulls into the open garage, that has the title “Rudy’s Car repair” in neon letters, and a “burly” man pulls the garage door shut. If this was an elaborate way to steal medical supplies, it would probably work now.

“Alright guys, get out and mingle. I have to get a few things and finish some business.” Andrew says as he gets out of the car and heads for a back office

So we are in a garage full of probably bikers. What next?

I got to make these shorter

>>1503993
Mingle with the bikers as suggested I guess. We can ask what their thoughts on the riots and such are, but also lighter topics, like if they've seen any good movies lately. Hopefully they'll bring up their own topics of interest.

>Peyton stay in the car and scan the news for us. I want to know what the fuck is going on in this country.

You get out of the car and look around for a moment. There seems to be a few people here to talk to. One man is watching out a window with what looks like a M14 in his hand. Another man is working on a truck, seemingly trying to do his job, while another is in the makeshift kitchen the garage has for it’s employees.

>Talk to Mr. Rambo with the M14 in his hands looking out the window

>Talk to the man in the kitchen and see what he’s doing

You swallow whatever fear you have about talking to a biker, considering you witnessed two murders today. You walk over to the man with a beautiful M14 in one hand, and the other pulling down blinds so he can look into the empty street ahead of him.

>Hey man, I didn’t mean to scare you or anything, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Xavier Lewis and I came here with Andrew. Can I ask what you’re doing here?

“If Andrew is solid with you, I guess you’re solid with me. I’m Baker, and my job here is to make sure no one tries to break in or those assholes from a few blocks away come here trying to start shit since the cops aren’t doing their fucking job.” He replies gruffly as he continues looking out the window. “These riots are fucking bullshit. I’m not going to prison over defending my shop, so no one better come onto this fucking property.” He adds.

>Hey while I have you, do you know if there are any Gun Shops or Armories around here?

“Well there’s a Gun Shop about two blocks south, run by a guy pretty in with us. If you mention me, he’ll give you a discount, and a peek into some of the “special” shit he has. Before you say anything about how i can trust you, Andrew told me what happened back there. You guys are alright here. Now fuck off and let me get back to my job.” He turns back and continues to look out the window.

>>1505047
There are the Young Angels about 10 blocks to the North, the Westside Slingers, to the, you guessed it, west, and then the Crips and Bloods. The bikers you are with now, you think, control the meth and weapons trade for a good 1/5 of the city, and so they deal with a lot of the gangs in the city.

>>1505125
Well it is Chicago Anon. You are a little too afraid to ask, but what you've heard from your time in the clinic is that this is a splinter of the Hell's Angels that are so popular in the country. They don't advertise, of course, but it isn't hard to pick up on

After getting told off by the scariest looking man you’ve had the pleasure of speaking to, you decide to go to the one that looks a little more “jolly”. He looks to be unloading MRE's from a crate into the few cupboards that inhabit the improvised kitchen in the Garage. He hears you approaching and turns towards you. You can only picture Santa Claus if he wore leather and probably has killed people before.

“Hello my friend! I heard about the jam you helped Andrew out of, and the medical attention you gave him. You have my gratitude. Andrew is one of the best drivers we’ve ever had here, and he’s helped me out more than once. Now excuse me, I have much work to do, and not a lot of time for it.” He happily says, as he turns back to stocking the cabinets.

Well you stand corrected. A Russian biker Santa Claus. Jesus Christ today is off to a great start. You check your watch and it’s only 9:15. It’s gonna be another long one.

After talking to the other Bikers, it’s time to talk to the one doing the only thing that should be happening in a garage, working on cars. You start to walk over when Andrew comes out of the office very excitedly and jogs over to you.

“Today is our lucky day Doc, because I have some great news. Come with me out to the back and I’ll show you. Peyton, get your ass over here.” He motions towards Peyton and starts walking to the back door.

Well Andrew certainly is excited about something, and knowing what you know about him, you’re probably going to be equally excited. You walk out from the garage into what looks like a courtyard with a few wrecks of old junk cars, and an actual garage that looks like it could hold 3 cars in it. Surrounding this is courtyard is a chain link fence with a heavy tarp so it can’t be peered into or can’t be peered out. There is also a metal gate that looks like it can be pulled back so a car can drive out of it.

Andrew runs into a side door on the left of the garage, and a few seconds later the doors open and you see what can only be describes as what Jesus would drive if he was either a PMC or an African Warlord with oil money. It is beautiful.

“Well boys, I talked to the boss, and he let me have this. It’s my payment for all the years that I’ve worked for him. Something big is going down, and I am not going to be caught with my pants down and my hands on my ankles.” He replies very estatically, as he motions to his new ride.

>Well holy shit Andrew, I guess now I owe you on-OH SHIT

In the middle of your compliment, shooting breaks out at the front of the garage, shocking you back into what your life is now. Andrew grabs his rifle and starts to run to the back door of the Mechanic's Garage.

>Hold the phone Andrew, I’m not going to hit shit with this pistol, I’m going to need something a little more powerful.

“Ah shit that’s right. I was supposed to give this to you.”Andrew exclaims in a hurry as he runs back to where the Jeep is parked.

He comes out a few seconds later with what looks like some pipes welded together and 3 magazines for it. He runs back over to you, shoves his little care package into your hands, and runs off into the Mechanic’s garage. Not wanting to lose your new ride, you hand Peyton your trusty 1911 and have him hide behind the jeep, in case anyone gets the idea of “jacking your ride”.

You run into the Mechanic’s Garage and steal a peek out of the window. You count 6 men with assorted rifles, nothing crazier than an AK47 wielded by some unruly ruffian. They are spread out in front of you, hiding behind assorted cover. Three are hiding behind a car that is parked in the middle of the street parallel to the Garage, probably the one they all came in. One man is hiding behind a large parked truck, while another is behind some old crates.

“IT’S THE FUCKING YOUNG ANGELS COMING TO FINALLY GET RID OF US! I AIN’T LETTING THEM ANYWHERE NEAR MY BABY” Screams the mechanic that you never got to talk to, as he fires blindly out the window.

>Alright Andrew, we’ll hold our fire and when one of the gangsters pop out, we’ll sh-OH FUCK IS THAT A GRENADE?

While you were explaining the plan to Andrew, a gang member had popped out of cover to try to throw what looks to be a number of explosives taped together. In the brief few seconds you saw it, there was a molotov, a few sticks of dynamite, and three pineapple grenades tied together with Duct Tape. Luckily for you though, everyone else in the Garage seemed to see the same thing, and completely unloaded on the poor guy, turning him into the human embodiment of Swiss cheese. Also fortunately for you, he had dropped the explosive device, which then proceeded to wipe out anyone who was behind the car, and the car itself. This battle got a lot more lopsided.

The two gang members left seem to be ready to run. You might be able to shoot one to injure, but you doubt they’ll be back.

>Alright boys, let's try to take one of these alive

The multiple rifles firing from the Garage seem to do nothing but encourage the gangsters to get out of there that much easier. The one behind the truck gets it going, and drives out of the parking
lot while the man that was behind the crate jumps in the back as they drive away. Well you aren’t taking any of them alive, that’s for sure.

The aftermath isn’t really much to talk about. The explosion destroyed just about everything the gangsters had on them, so there wasn’t much for loot. The bikers seem in high spirits though, as they didn’t lose anyone. Peyton had come back after the explosion and Andrew starts walking over to you, with a big goofy smile on his face.

“Holy shit that was Intense Xavier. I’m glad we didn’t even need your expertise, those dumbasses fought the battle themselves. That was a fucking rush. Anyway, I resolved the issues I had, and I’m free to leave with you guys, in that beautiful beast in the back. It has a full tank of fuel and another 30 gallons of fuel in a container in the back. Where we going next?” Andrew asks, as he starts walking to the back door.

>Go to the Police station. But after what just happened, it might not be the best course of events.
>Go to that Gun Store baker suggested. You have your credit card, and the banks are still open, you think
>Just get out of the city. It’s going to hell in a handbasket and you don’t want to be anywhere near when it goes off

but since a lot of those can also be found in more rural areas (looking at you Bass Pro World) we can also get them on the way out.

>>1507635
This. Hit the gun store, buy or steal as much as we can then hit a Rural King or Bass Pro on the way out of town. Get Hand tools (Shovels, axes, nails, rope, hammers,etc) and as much ammo and food as we can carry.

>>1507749
Support. Survival gears are necessary. Try finding some retooling kits so we can recycle ammunition. Get some means of communication like walkie talkies and means to generate power like a hand-crank or solar panels. Also try getting a bunch of fuel before it runs out, and possibly a way to get an engine that uses biofuels.

>>1507620
>>1507753
We should also grab some USB sticks and portable drives so once we manage to find a way to restore power to some computers, we can recover their data for future usage.

>>1507757
Oh, good point, also, grab maybe one or two of the heavy duty laptops.

Alright, if someone would compile a list of all the KEY things you guys want, it would be useful. Make smart choices though, as you have limited time. This is one of the most important parts of the quest, probably.

>>1507779
priority list :
1. weapons and repair materials
2.general purpose hand tools/survival gear
3. food

>Alright Andrew, let's get into the truck. We’re going to the Gun Shop Baker told me about. I’ve got some cash, as does Peyton. If we’re overreacting for no reason, then at least I’ll pick up the gun I’ve been wanting. Get Peyton and let's get the hell out of Rudy.

You gather your few personal belongings from your jeep, and you make your way over to “The Beast” as Andrew has lovingly called it. It has 19 mpg in the city, but it makes up for it as nothing short of an RPG will dent it. Peyton loads up in the back seat and lists some of the current news while Andrew says goodbye to his crew.

“Well it looks like Trump has been flown to a secret location somewhere in the Midwest, and he has issued a State of Emergency, all of Europe is in a State of Emergency too, and Russia has just went dark, like China. There are unconfirmed reports of nuclear explosions in Israel and India. I mean, the US isn’t in too bad of shape. The military has been deployed all over the country, and we are trying to pull all US forces out of every major military base and return them to the US. Oh, and a Ohio class submarine has stopped responding.” Peyton recites like he’s somehow proud of what’s been happening. Well, he’s always been a little “eccentric” about these kinds of happenings.

Andrew comes back out with a duffel bag like the army would issue. His rifle is sticking out and it looks pretty bulky. He throws his bag in the back, next to Peyton, and he gets into the Driver’s seat.

“Alright lads, we’re are going to Abraham’s. He owns that gun shop you were talking about, and more importantly, he owes me a few favors.” Andrew explains, as he drives The Beast out of the garage, and into the Chicago street.

The strangest thing though, is that instead of chaos like you would expect, the city is strangely quiet. There are occasional gunshots, more than normal for Chicago, but nothing overly violent. There are the occasional fights in the street, or the strung out druggie shuffling in an alley, but it’s almost peaceful. You pull up in front of “Abraham’s Guns: Since the beginning of time”, and see a man in fatigues loading his pickup truck with guns, ammo, MRE’s, and other tools and outfits you wouldn’t even know what to do with.

Andrew gets out and goes to talk to who you assume is Abraham. The conversation lasts a full minute before Andrew jogs back to the Beast.

“Alright guys, Abraham is getting the fuck outta here, but he’ll give me the keys and whatever is left. All he wants is the extra gas we have in the back. What do you think?” Andrew says, out of breath.

>Fuck him, we need the gas more. We’ll find somewhere else.
>Alright, we need guns and ammo more. Give him the gas
>Let’s just kill him (Hard)

>Well why don’t you have him come with us? Tell him you have two doctors, and plenty of fuel for both trucks. He can use his truck and we can follow him to wherever he is going, four guns are better than one.

“Ah god damn it Doc, fine, I’ll go talk to him.” Wow, Andrew almost sounds angry then. Who knew he had an angry bone in his body.

A few seconds later he comes trotting back to the Beast while Abraham drives away. Well you hope that went well.

“Alright you guys, Abraham gave me the keys. He said we’ll meet him in Stronghurst. I guess it’s some shitty town on the other side of the state. He said that if we don’t come, then he’ll find us and gut us. So don’t fuck up.” Andrew warns, with his glare being enough to shock you into shaking your head.

He walks towards the front door and unlocks it. You tell Peyton to stay in the car and watch for looters, but he is so focuses on his phone that you doubt he even heard you. You walk into the store with your grease gun, ready for some shopping.

It’s not disappointing, but you were kinda hoping he left something, “more”. There are about 6 rifles left in the shop. Those being a M590 MossBerg Shotgun, a run-of-the-mill AR15 with no visible attachments, the M40 rifle, a civilian MP5, 2 9mm Berettas, an Illegal FN P90, and an illegal Steyr Aug.

The MossBerg has about 4 boxes of 25 shells each. The AR15 has an Ammo can with a good 1000 rounds inside. The M40 has about 100 rounds already loaded in a bandolier. Both Berettas have a total of 10 clips to share between them. The P90 has 4 box magazines, which equal about 200 rounds. The Steyr Aug has 4 magazines with it.

What you also find are 4 K-Bar knives in their leather sheaths, a complete set of a tactical vest (see picture), 3 Ballistic Vests (Military Quality), and a tactical helmet that probably “fell off the back of a military truck”.

You can only reasonably carry two weapons, and use one at any time. You get a pick of two accessories that I listed in the last paragraph. Choose Wisely Anons.

>>1508304
Ballistic vest, AR15, knife, p90.

We're a doctor, not a soldier, let's give the fancier stuff to Andrew as it would probably be wasted on us.

Then, let's try to get out of town, fast. We can try to get food and supplies in the countryside. We do not want to be stuck in chicago in some traffic jam when shit hits the fan.

>>1508304
>tactical vest (see picture), 3 Ballistic Vests (Military Quality),
So the tactical vest is better than the ballistic vests?

>>1508304
AR-15, K-BAR knife and tactical vest.

Also voting for P90

>>1508325
Well you would only get one ballistic vest, but the Tactical vest lets you effectively carry your ammo and basic medical supplies, while the Ballistic vest just stops small arms fire. You could wear both though.

>>1508339
It's just the three of us right now, right? Is Abraham with us or did he already drive off?

>>1508358
>while Abraham drives away.

>>1508361
Just wanted to confirm.

>>1508304
Who's the better doctor out of us, us or Peyton?

>>1508369
You. Peyton was more of your aid/assistant. He's much better than the average person, but you're an actual doctor.

>>1508374
Got it.

>>1508304
>You can only reasonably carry two weapons, and use one at any time.
Does this mean any two weapons, or two primary weapons?

>>1508398
Yeah, two primaries and a secondary. That can either be a pistol or knife/Hatchet. In the future, it could change.

I'm just waiting to see if Toruc or another anon wants to make a decision. If not, i think we have a consensus.

>>1508304
>>1508408
Tactical vest, ballistic vest, beretta, AR15, and M590 MossBerg Shotgun.
We should ask what the other two want. Andrew should get first picks on weapons, which goes before our vote.
Personally I think Andrew should get the M40 rifle, Steyr Aug, ballistic vest, tactical helmet, and a beretta.
Peyton should get a ballistic vest, one of our other pistols, a FN P90, and the civilian MP5.

>Alright Andrew, let me have the AR15 and the P90. Those weapons would probably fit me the best. I’ll also probably take the Tactical vest, the Knife and the Ballistic vest. You can give the two sidearms, the shotgun and MP5 to Peyton.

“Fucking awesome then, it works out perfectly. In Iraq, I was in a marine recon unit and we used this rifle all the time. As for the Aug, well let's just say I did a few months with some Australians and I had to get used to the rifle. That’s all still classified though.” He finishes, with a wink. You don’t know whether he’s joking or not, or if it’s better that he is.

You put the rest of the gear into a duffel bag and throw it into the back, next to Andrew’s bag of personal effects. Putting on the gear was a pain in the ass, and you feel a little slower, but it’s going to be useful in almost all cases. It’s about 11:30 and the city is getting progressively worse. Fights are starting to break out more often, and a steady rhythm of gunfire is filling the sky. You probably only have one or two stops at most before it’s time to get out of the city, unless you like being in a tomb.

>The Grocery Store. We don’t have any food or water on us

havi´ng food and water is always important, but only if we have time for it

Fair enough. Hey, if we meet the other bikers Andrew runs with later, will we be able to stay as allies to them?

>>1508474

>The Bass Pro Shop, hunting shit
I guess our "long-term" plan for the moment is to get out of town and meet with Abraham.

I'm guessing we're starting to get pretty hungry by now. But at the same time, food and water is relatively easier to come by than specialised stuff like hunting/fishing gear, outdoor clothings, warm sleeping bags, tent, lamps, even maybe night-vision goggles?

Let's try our luck at the hunting shop, and hope we come across some water and food quick enough. Don't want to get dehydrated on first day.

I vote we try to find a water fountain or employee's toilet's sink in the shop and fill up some canteens with water if we can.

Andrew gives a grunt of confirmation and a starts The Beast. Peyton continues to read off the news, and it’s only getting worse.

“The British Government has gone dark, and the Royal palace has been completely overrun. Now you might think that it is a terrorist attack, but it’s just waves of thousands of people attacking and destroying everything in their way. New York City has also been declared a No go zone and all military and police elements have been called to a central location. This news is the same everywhere. Chicago thankfully still has control on the suburbs, but the inner city has gone to complete shit. I hope you guys have a plan.” Peyton says cautiously, before going back to his phone.

If the city is hell, the suburbs are more of a purgatory. Driving past neighborhoods you can catch glimpses of groups of men armed with guns, groups of men armed with no guns, and entire streets trying to barricade themselves with trash cans, cars, and whatever assortment of trash and rubble they can. The Bass Pro Shop on the other hand, well it doesn’t look good. There are multiple bodies in the front of the store, and sporadic gunfire coming from inside. There aren’t any people in the parking lot, but you can bet there are people in the store.

Peyton wants to just go find Abraham and that he will have what we need, while Andrew thinks we can quickly go in and grab just a few things.

>follow andrew and get ready to loot
can we freely choose 5 items or do you have some kind of list

>>1508706
Well you might want to refer to the list
https://pastebin.com/sgaNjtvq

They won't have everything, and I'll roll to see if they have it or not.

>>1508712
id say we need:
1. water canisters
2. clothing sets for 3 people
3. some kind of tent, sleeping bags
4. construction tools
5. fishing set

>>1508723
This.

>>1508694
Let's try to grab a couple things.
-snare wire
-metal water canteens (we can cook&boil in those)
-fishing rod + line&hooks
-climbing rope
-study/hot clothes

We can probably just sleep in the car for now, safer than outside in any case.

>>1508744
>>1508723
You guys want to come to an agreement?

>>1508723
I will go with this, except alter the clothing sets to 1 heavy duty, 1 quick dry, and 1 camo.

>>1508771
well, we agree on
-Clothes
-Fishing
-Water containers

I could agree with tools.
But I feel for now we will be moving a lot so we won't really have time to build anything, and I would prefer to sleep in the truck than outside of it.
Snares will take some time to setup, so I'll remove them.

Let's say your tools and my rope?

>>1508785
Yeah, that sounds good.

>>1508785
yeah a rope sounds good

Rolled 2, 1, 1, 2, 1 = 7 (5d2)

Alright guys I lied to you all. Pick 12 Items to get from the Store.

>>1508840
>>1508856
thx QM

>>1508856
It's christmas, boy oh boy!

so we need to pick 7 new ones and keep the results for the old ones?

>>1508864
Just pick 12 Items. It can be the same items as last time.

>>1508870
What if we picked moar guns?

>>1508877
I mean you can if you want. You'll specify which gun from their website, or else I'll choose a shitty .22 rifle

>>1508877
>>1508888
>inb4 we spend all of our actions on guns and none of it on survival.

>>1508888
Is it 12 specific items, or can it be twelve selections i.e. 4 crossbows, 3 sets of clothes, 4 rations, and an axe OR 4 crossbows, 60 arrows,...

>>1508870
-water container
-fishing rod+supplies
-rope
-tools

-crossbow+bolt
-night vision goggles
-outdoor survival kit (firestarter, water purification tablets, medkit, snare wire, fishing rope, etc etc)
-tarps
-sleeping bags
-a good multipurpose hatchet

-???
maybe something that works on propane? easy to find propane in rural areas or any shops really. Small tanks, not the big ones.

>>1508896
4 crossbows would be 4 items, but arrows would come in "packs" of 12. Rations would come in packs of like "1 week rations 1 person" stuff like that. We'll play it by ear.

>>1508896
alright then
3. sets outdoor clothes
1 fishing set
2 climbing ropes
2 water canisters/canteens
1 outdoor survival kit
1 hatchet

+2 i guess

>>1508899
>>1508903
I support Arsenal in this

>>1508906
That would be
3 sets of outdoor
1 fishing net
climbing rope
climbing rope
3 water canisters
outdoor survival kit
1 hatchet/sharpener

>>1508923
Could we also get some spices and salt? PLEASE. Plain food sucks ass and tasty food will help moral.

>>1508938
A pack of additives could be an object. That would include cinnamon, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and sugar. It would last a group of 3 1 month if they have it for 3 meals a day

>>1508948
Sounds good, and brings up to 12, right?

-3 five gallon plastic water containers
-fishing rod+supplies
-100 ft rope
-basic hand tools toolbox

-crossbow
-15 bolts
-1 pair of night vision goggles
-outdoor survival kit (firestarter, water purification tablets, basic medkit, snare wire, fishing rope, etc etc)
-2 10x10 tarps
-2 sleeping bags
-a good multipurpose hatchet
-Food additives

“Alright mate, I have the list of what to get. I’ll rip off half and give it to you while I take the other half. You have ten minutes before we have to get the fuck out of here.” Andrew instructs, as he rips a piece of paper in half and hands you part of it.

You have a shopping cart filled survival gear and a nice Crossbow. Of course Peyton is the one who's hunted out of the two of you, unless you count humans on Andrew’s part. It was a little cathartic filling up shopping cart and knowing you don’t have to pay for anything. Liberating actually. You and Andrew meet back at the front counter with about two minutes to spare, and Andrew picks up a little keychain to remember the incredible luck we’ve had here. All in all, it could have been a worse day.

Peyton eagerly hurries you into the Beast with your loot, and suffice to say, it’s getting crowded in there. Take with that as you will. As you pull out of the parking lot and head towards Stronghurst, there is a thick cloud of smoke above the “Velvet City”, but you’re out of the fire. You just hope that you’re not heading into the frying pan.
Alright guys that concludes the prologue of "From Ashes to Gold". I am glad people have enjoyed it etc. etc. I have to do a few things, but I'll start the first chapter in a few hours. Any questions/comments/concerns/insults are appreciated and encouraged

Posting from phone but i wanna Say exellent job. Im new to modern setting Games and loving it so far. Ill probly be There for later

>>1509071
If you went to the Book Store, then yeah you would have. If you get to StrongHusrt in the next 5 hours, then you might have a chance to find a laptop and download as much as you can, so I would prioritize what you want downloaded. You're pretty good at making lists, so plan for what should be saved for the future.

>>1509303
I would like to take a bit of a risk and split the party, with someone downloading repair manuals, trade books, and instructional guides, while the other two head into the store and grab the following, prioritizing by the order I have listed:
Farmer's Almanacs
Atlas
Topographical Maps
Plant Identification Manuals

>>1509343
You can either decide to hit locations on the way, or you can just wait for StrongHurst

>>1509443
YES! I would like to hit supermarkets, gas stations, and convenience stores along the way. If the people seem nice, max out the credit card (those bills won't exist shortly). If they are dicks, well...someone has to start the Mad Max world.

>>1509113
Question. How much Murderhobo shenanigans can we expect?

Great quest so far OP. Loving it.

>>1509497
Well it really depends on how you guys want to take this. You all could turn it into a civ builder, you could run a small bandit group terrorizing communities, just be a couple of guys who go around killing thousands of zombies, or you could be mercenaries. I take it however you guys want it to go.

You got out of Chicago right in time, because holy hell things went to shit fast. There is now a permanent glow of flames and explosions on the Horizon, and even two hours from Chicago there is still fighting going on. You were driving on the road leading into Chicago, but heading the other direction. For some reason people still want to obey traffic laws even now. There’s been a constant traffic block for the last 5 miles and it’s like a giant conga line of death. People are getting drug out of the car and attacked. Holy shit what is actually happening?

“Yeah and that’s Los Angeles gone. The city is confirmed “lost” and whatever periscope videos I am getting out of it, they’re blurry and fake, so it looks like we’re still in the dark on what’s happening”, Peyton reported, going back to his phone.

>What the fuck do you mean by fake Peyton? Are they showing blurry lights in the sky and claiming UFO’s?

“No it’s more like people getting shot multiple times and they keep moving, massive groups of people destroying everything in their wake, people drug out of their homes and eaten right in front of their children. Listen guys, this is just a “war of the Worlds” type punk out, but it’s gone on far too long.” Peyton replied, like he knew the answer and was waiting for someone to agree with him.

“Well if that’s the case Newton, then how come the European governments have gone dark, Russia has closed their borders and have also gone dark? Explain that to me? If this is a big prank, then the fucking punchline better be the second coming because I ain’t laughing right now.” Andrew shot back, offended that Peyton even suggested what he had.

“Huh, I guess I hadn’t thought of that.” Peyton quietly said, almost to himself.

>Alright listen, we can either go straight to Stronghurst and hope that it isn’t a pile of fucking rubble, or we can hit these occasional gas stations and pitstops.

“Fuck that, lets just get to Stronghurst. Abraham is waiting for us,” Andrew said, turning to look at you as he talked. “We could get there just in time to save it from some shitty fate.”

“Or because it has a population less than a fucking high school and it most definitely has hunters in it, it is perfectly fine” Peyton argued back, holding up his two fingers for some reason.

Well it’s come down to you to break the tie once again. Good thing there’s an odd amount of people here or nothing would get fucking done.

>Loot just the gas stations, we need the gas more than anything
>Loot just the pit stops. They will have important tourist guides and information about the area
>Loot both and hope that Stronghurst hasn’t been hit by whatever has been happening
>Loot neither and get to Stronghurst quickly They probably have fuel and local hunters that know the area
>Other

Quick hits though, focusing on gas. Most stores have gasoline containers inside, and we should grab all the stuff that can't be easily replaced due to the now lack-of-infrastructure.

>>1510006
What's the gas situation btw? I remember we have, what, 30 galons reserve? And what's left in the tank.

How much is the Beast consuming? How long are we good for?

>>1510031
This. Sweep and clear. If we find another vehicle with a... Less than prepared owner, double tap and load it up with our stuff. Form a convoy.

>>1510060
Beast consumes 19 mpg city, probably 2x or 2.5x that highway, but we paid Abraham with the 30 gallon reserve, which is part of why I want to hit those stations for extra.
>>1510075
Thank you. Everyone tries to hold onto their humanity in these quests. We can do that once we know they have skills, can be trained to have skills, or have a stable sustainable community and home base.

>>1510060
30 extra gallons, and about 3/4 of a tank left. The Beast has 137 liters in it's tank, and gets 30 mpg on a Highway with no congestion.


>>1510086
Because someone got that 90, as long as we come down to Stronghurst, we didn't have to give him that fuel

>>1510031
alright, voting for this also
