Everything is falling apart left and right in this shithole.

⦁ The old jeep is broken down again. I'll have the scouts search for old abandoned vehicles to strip for parts.

⦁ The sump pump has shit the bed finally. This last rain storm has caused the bunker's escape hatch to flood. I've heard reports of an old factory a few miles down river. Rumor says it used to make plumbing supplies or some shit, so it may be a good place to check out, but there's a catch... I have heard from two different sources that this building has a reputation for being infested with very LARGE rats, and one rumor that it is haunted. 

⦁ The radio relay tower has gone silent. This could mean the antenna was damaged in the storm, those idiots Biggie and Wedgie got wasted and fell out of the tower or someone attacked and killed them. Their last transmissions had reports of gunfire nearby. That may not mean shit seeing how the shooting range is nearby. Wedgie also claimed to have seen some weird monster flying around but he was probably just high again and saw a bird or something. Still, we might be able to get some good money if we capture whatever it is. I'm willing to bet the stupid motherfuckers are just too lazy to get off their asses and walk back to the bunker to keep me updated. 

First order of buisness is to get our comms working again. The tower is only a few miles from the bunker's location. Once that's out of the way I can call some more Defacers who are out of range on field missions. I'll need some backup if I'm going into that old facotry.

Bibi says the breakdown at the radio tower is most likely because of some critters like squirrels chewing on the wires and probably not much of a big deal at all. I'm leaving her in charge of the bunker while I'm gone.

I was really hoping for a nice uneventful hike in the woods on my way to the tower but with my shitty luck that of course never happens. At worst I was expecting to maybe encounter a wild animal like a bear since they are known to live in these woods. NOPE! WHo do I run into? That fuckng bounty hunter. I wasn't about to risk catching another bullet in a gun fight. I only had my hunting rifle and my ammo was low so I made a run for it. This asshole manages to corner me at the edge of a cliff and robs me of the stash of moondust I had on me. He says a shitbird like me is hardly worth the trouble of dragging to town with the low price on my head. Says he knows where our hideout is and threatens to tell the sherriff if we don't pay up every week. FUCK!

The number one reason I even suggested we take over the bunker was because I heard a rumor the sherriff was using it to stash confiscated drugs. It turned out to be total bullshit but now everyone still believes I'm some big shot kingpin. The bunker has really caused me more headaches than anything.

I get to the tower and lo and behold: Wedgie got wasted last night and fell. Can barely remember anything. No real injuries as far as i can tell. What a miracle! Must not have been from very high up. I would ask Biggie what the fuck happened but he's gone missing. 

I climb up the tower to check out the equipment. It does look like something has been chewing on the wires... whatever it is has got to be bigger than any squirrel, that's for sure. I'll have to scavenge the nearby dump for some replaement parts.

Wedgie seems to be recovering from his hangover and fall. I bring him to the nearby dump to help me search for radio parts. That stormy night is still pretty hazy for him... He keeps talking about this weird flying monster he supposedly saw. What is in that shitty moonshine these guys make? 

This dump has a little bit of everything. I search the shooting range area where the crew like to go target practice on mutated giant rats. I was hoping to find some extra ammo for my peace keeper. I discover a freshly painted ZODIAC tag sprayed on the wall of the old office. Those assholes have been trespassing again. 

After about 4 hours of toiling away using crappy tools, some tape and some scrap components I found in the dump, I finally get the radio tower working again.

Wedgie's memories are slowly coming back to him. He says he remembers those Zodiac pricks soldiering in on that stormy night but it's still all very fuzzy. I'm convinced they kidnapped Biggie for either a ransom or some other sick purpose. I'm not sure if they have access to a working vehicle or not but I do know their turf is a good 10 miles down river from us in the Twin Cities.

From the relay tower I radio'd the bunker to let Bibi know what was up. I also called on any available field units to meet at the shooting range ASAP to assist in the upcoming rescue mission.

THE PLAN:

The rescue team will assemble at the shooting range tomorrow evening before sundown. We will load up into the pontoon boat and coast downstream roughly 10 miles into the Twin City.

This pontoon boat was built using scrap found in the dump. Metal barrels, old 2x4s, plywood, an old outboard motor and a rusty old camper on top. 

Although we have no idea as of now where Biggie may be held prisoner, we do know where one of this gangs hideouts is. Washington Street. We also know of an underground drainage tunnel which empties into the river and may lead us directly to the hideout. I say "may" because our intelligence reports show that this tunnel leads to a bricked-off dead end halfway between the river and our target. 

This is why I'm recruiting Taco for this mission. His explosives expertise will be needed to blast this right out of our way. There's no telling what may lie behind those bricks but I do know we're dead in the water if we try to soldier on up on the street surface.

I'm also recruiting Isetta for this mission. She's one of my best scouts. She filled me in on the secret tunnel and she is also a skilled mechanic who helped build the pontoon boat.
