I started shouting orders at us like we’re the elite troops they’ve never seen, and it at least buys us enough time for the doors to close and get us moving to the roof.

They busted out and there was another gunfight, and some of them used swords. While we fought Duff planted three pounds of C4 against the stairwell to keep more from coming. He only set a very short fuse, and just as he finished three more soldiers ran through. He managed to stick out his foot and trip one of them, then run and dive around the corner just as the bomb went off. I have never heard an explosion that loud. My ears are still ringing.

Over the mindlink there was chatter about maybe pulling guns on these guys and forcing them to take us to our bikes in the forest outside Couver. I told him I didn’t like the deal changing and I brought up the third key. He said he didn’t know it was going to be there. I asked him what it looked like, and he said a grinning skull. Obviously it was the Hades key. I told him he didn’t want what was inside, and he said he knew what was inside and it could be useful. I told him it wouldn’t, and said “let me see, I’ll show you.” He handed it over and before anyone could react I pulled out my Glock and shot the disc right in half. I gave him one half and kept the other. Nearly shot myself in the hand, too. He didn’t even flinch. He just asked me to keep my gun holstered. This guy is just ice cold, it gives me the creeps. That and his damn mask. It’s always changing just a tiny little bit, like the light reflects a different way and it looks almost like a face, but then not again. It gives me the jibblies.</p><p></p><p>I’m not too sure why I did it, but then again I am. The kinds of weapons in the Hades Vault are what reduced our world to the nightmare it is now. It’s what I’m working to rebuild, and I’ll die before I see some lunatic nuke it all to hell again. But I didn’t even think before I did it. It was just reflex. Looking back I think it was just the drunk thing, but I’m sure it was the right thing to do. Of course, if anyone can get the case open without the key, they’ll still have the codes, but it’s a good start.</p><p></p><p>But he reassured me about Melkior and we went with them to the boat. When we got off Rorschach introduced us to a guy named Tom, who had an Australian accent. He said the boat was an old research vessel called the Jack of Spades. I asked him if it was the Jack of Spades, if we were on the bowers of the ship? He didn’t seem to get the joke. Dexter was wondering if anyone even played cards out at sea. He said maybe they didn’t have any decks to play with. I killed myself laughing before I could spit out “But ships have plenty of decks!” Everyone just looked at me funny. I tried to pull myself together and introduce us, but Timmy thought he’d better sedate me. He gave me a shot and the last thing I remember before passing out was him saying something about knowing it’s stress because he’s a surgeon, and Tom said something about a psychiatrist. Anyway, it was kinda lame to fool me like that but it was probably a good idea given the way I was acting like a crazy person. He kept me out for a few days while I recovered from the strain.</p><p></p><p>So when I was out, the guys learned some stuff and managed not to insult ALL of them Melkior guys. Rorschach admitted that he does actually work for them. They said they thought they had about 95% of the world’s remaining naval power. Someone said “So… two boats?” and Tom just shrugged. They also said they have a nuclear-powered submarine which could reach Poseidon Vault. Dex and Duff were stoked to see it.</p><p></p><p>They also said there were three USA’s they knew of: one in the northeast, one around Texas, and one around old Seattle. They also asked about ATMA. Apparently before the Drop they predicted it would happen and consolidated enough to survive it. They’re based near Zeus Vault like we thought. They suggested they almost certainly have access to it, which would explain their chopper and Dorn’s high tech pistol, whatever it is. Also the UFO rail gun dude in the Restricted Zone. Most impressively, they added that not only would our LAW have a chance at blowing it up, but that the kind of robotic guy it is probably used a radio frequency emitter to identify friend or foe, and if we could find out what it was we could just waltz into the Restricted Zone. Note to self: get Dex to scan radio frequencies if we run into ATMA hacks again.</p><p></p><p>They said they could get us home using a train they had. We thought of the Gor-Tech train and asked them more about it, and it was exactly the one we were talking about. Now I don’t know if I was still being silly, but we’re talking about a naval empire here, and I remembered the last thing Dexter wrote to Admin01 when we were in the chemical plant and had another fit. Anyway, they said some stuff was lying around after the war and they hijacked the train and the plant, even though it’s Gor-Tech which was a subsidiary of ATMA. It sounds really suspicious but I’m sure they’re telling the truth. They said ATMA has total superiority on land, but they couldn’t touch the Melkior Alliance at sea, so they had a nice stalemate going.</p><p></p><p>So they’ve also heard about what we’re trying to do and got some intel from Rorschach, which explains why they wanted to work with us. We also talked about trading for food. They also mentioned a place called the Bazaar south of the old border where we might ask around for the cases. They also gave us a device like Rorschach’s to communicate with them. So after the council meeting, that’s our next stop.</p><p></p><p>November 13, 2113</p><p></p><p>Actually I slept pretty well last night... and now that I think about it, when I was messed up I shot and killed two men on the roof in Couver. I don’t know what to think about that.

Mutants, bandits, and Mittlewerk were everyone’s problem so we agreed each city would contribute men or arms within their abilities. We also agreed to set up an academy and barracks in Sandoro to train them. Damon knows tactics and is going to do the training. Also, this will provide Sandoro a reason to still exist. Plus there’s that medical facility we saved from being a sploded by ATMA. I also told them that when mutants move into an area, radiation comes with them. I was figuring they spread radiation themselves, like they pooped it or something, but Timmy said that’s not really biologically possible. My conspiracy theory brain started working like maybe ATMA irradiates an area so the mutants can move in? I don’t know. Anyway, Blue Lake wanted help with the mutants around Blue Lake (around 300 in an army when we were at Athena the first time), and we promised it would be the first thing for the militia to do.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Basically we agreed to keep the Council going in more or less its present shape, with each city getting one representative, who all elect a Chairman. I won the vote but barely. Macross had left by this point so there were only six representatives. MacGregor, Anders, and Sandoval voted for Anders and me, Darren, and Damon voted for me. MacGregor knew Trade City well and was interested in not much other than trade anyway. Since it was deadlocked 3-3 we had speeches. I told them I was going to restore civilisation to this part of the world, and that Anders was just a businessman interested in making money. It was enough to make Sandoval think I was a better choice, which I am, but he only abstained to give us the 3-2 edge.

I still need to come up with names for the different mutants though.<br /> Macross said mutants do face some persecution. When I first brought up the subject he said “some are more human than others.” I said “we’re all equally human.” He shrugged. Those bastards and their cult are really starting to get to me.

Also TC was with him, that guy is solid. Mayor David Sandoval of Blue Lake (population 400) Champion Damon Slate of Sandoro (population 50 mangy scavengers, if that) And your awesome Chairman, Chancellor Marshall Flowers of Haven (population 2000).
