Roger all the way.

Roger, Roger.

Nothing wrong with Rog, but Kaze for me.

the joke was that he had low Perception because he rarely opened his eyes

Start full with Starfull.

Seems we got a tie and I don't know who to go for!

I'm okay with Roger, if 'Coweye' gets a decent supporting role

Y'know, I'd go for Phoebe, but that mustache is just too strong. This Rodger guy is goin' places.

This quest needs a protagonist with a strong entrepreneurial drive and a stronger mustache. Roge 1 is the best option.

Roger please.

"There's this old Marketplace not to far out, it's got plenty of space, rooms, you can easily fortify this and it has a underground garage for when you get some settlers to start building technicals for you. Catch is though, it has no power or water running through it, most of your resources would be spent fixing it up."

"Now as for the 2nd option, we have this quaint little house, one floor, a basement, and a small garage with power and water. Which means hot showers and a nice cozy place to live, but of course since you plan on building a settlement, most of your resources would be spent expanding the space around it to get more settlers... and keep them safe since it's cold out there."

> What shall you pick?

The long term growth potential of the marketplace is superior.

We're not going to be doing much commerce our first year anyway, and that should be enough time to get some basic power, like a gasoline generator.

>>757228
This place will make a fine establishment, but the first year is going to be hell for you. A lot of hard work and ingenuity will be required if you are to succeed in this world roger, be prepared.

>>757227
Is that a water source to the northwest of the marketplace? Another reason why we should place our settlement there, even if the water is undrinkable, surely we could expand to navel trading.

The marketplace looks good. It'll be tough going at first, but far superior in the long run. Having a strong, fortified command center for our future settlement will be well worth the extra effort. Plus, as GB noted, it has access to a large water source, which not only could be useful for many things with the right tech, but also completely blocks off an angle of attack by land. In contrast, the house is out in the open and surrounded by several other structures, and would be much more difficult to defend against hostiles when they eventually appear.

I can see that dilapidated marketplace, or Future Fortress and Trade Capital?

Hell yes.

>>757228
Nothing says apocalypse survival like an abandoned mall.

Well, I dunno about "easier to defend". Seems like "sturdier but more entrances to watch". But I dunno if I really prefer one over the other.

Scavenge the middle building. The factory probably has some sick loot, but it's too far out of the way. The tall building we can get to later, considering it's so close.

I also get the feeling it'll be a longer and more dangerous endeavor. I'd rather get better equipped before going to a larger building.

Can't crap out on the risks before we built the business.

Let's get factorial.

>>761225
Perhaps, but we took the market without utilities over the home. We can't just turtle until were perfectly prepared, we need those basics. Any building should have plumbing in it, but our best bet at finding any sort of electrical infrastructure is the factory. It might also have a working forklift or something if we're lucky, and the possibility of getting something like that early I feel is worth the risk on its own.

>>761241
The forklift is a strong argument for transporting heavy goods. I'll change my vote to the factory.

I would recommend checking out the factory from a distance at first. See if you can see any noticeable barricades or movement through the large windows

I also vote factory. Depending on what kind of factory it is, it might also have large amounts of valuable resources, and now is the time when we're best equipped to scavenge it imo.

Upper story. Blast lock, pull gun on anyone on the computer and question them (but don't kill!)

We need to know how they hooked up power, and what's wrong with the forklift.

Grab the food first, in case you need to evacuate quickly.

Then bust into the upper room.

Upper room is fine. Inspect the forklift, can we tell what's keeping it from running? Could we fix it with materials from this factory?

Upper room sounds good. Knowledge is power. Knowing where the computer is getting power from would be particularly useful information.

Short little update to say this thing isn't dead!

Greet the survivor warmly. Tell him it's wonderful to see another face out here. Ask if he would like some help with that door there. Ask him where he's from.

"Easy now, I'm no raider. There's more stuff here than either of us can carry. I'd suggest we save our ammo and just split the goods."

Greet them warmly as stated before, try to be charismatic towards them and tell them your name. Try to be a kind, fatherly figure to this person. Just be ready to shoot them if they seem to be strongly hostile towards you.

Perhaps you could hire this young man/flat woman to aid you in setting up shop. That is, if they aren't already running some place and you are able to gain a good sense of their character. Be sure not to tell them where you plan on living, even if you are able to gain their trust.

Thirding this while suggesting we put our hands up and remove the "both" part of the speach, since it somewhat comes off as a threat.

Fair point and revision.

A one shot pistol is not the weapon of a brigand or bandit. It's the weapon of someone Desperate, scared, and alone.

We should make ourselves less threatening. Take a step back. Slowly bring our hands to our sides and display our empty palms. Then continue to talk.

If it's safe to remove our mask for short periods, we could slowly do so. {And tell them that were doing so as we do it.) That way we could speak to them as Roger, and not some creep out in the wastes.

Continue to speak warmly. Let your body language deal with the gun situation. Let your voice deal with this person.

Add, "Gotta keep our heads out here, right?"
If the mask is removable, smile when you say it.

>>772581
Hands in front of us slightly while in surrender may help with a possible disarm if need be.

Say everything we do to put him at ease.


His one handing of the gun shows inexperience. I strongly believe if he was at ease, disarming would be easy.

>>772589
This is true. The 5/5 Damage must mean the Caliber on that thing is huge... with an equally huge recoil.

We could give them some friendly advice. Like if they hold it without two hands it's liable to break their wrist. That'd be a real shame, seeing as we could use a spare hand ourself.

>>772604
The T/C Contender is a real firearm, with barrels from .38 Special to .505 Gibbs or so. One shot from the latter could fell a polar bear.

It's not part of the settler package, either, so maybe this is some kinda native...

>>772604
We don't tell a guy with a gun to our face that he's holding a powerful gun wrong. Either he takes it as an insult or we lose our advantage.

Having hands in surrender position that allows for a disarm if need be while continuing to talk is the best choice.

> Survivor lowers gun

The survivalist seems placated by this and how willing you are to pull off your mask even if you aren't sure how dangerous the air is. Luckily this factory is fairly closed in so no dangerous spots here.

The survivor talks about their issues, namely how they've been trying to get into the upper room looking for more resources, they hope to find a shotgun or some grenades there. But the door is jammed shut, possibly locked.

Do you wish to assist them? Survivors may choose to work with you if you prove yourself helpful, others may choose to betray you at the first chance they get.

Building a reputation gets you more Scrip which shows how many favors you have earned from people.

Yes, of course.
We have plenty of ammo. We could just shoot off the knob. Should be fine as long as we let him know of what were planning to do first.

since our carrying capacity is limited, I see no reason to not share this site.

Roger puts his gasmask back on and expends a bullet blasting open the door, you are fairly certain a 9mm should be too small but regardless it worked.

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.

> *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.

> 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.

Food will be automatically rationed and will only be brought up if there is not enough.

The Neighborhood it is! Nice friendly name! Darius likes it as well.

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.

Darius pulls out a old radio and makes contact, Roger hears the sounds of kids, one of them asking when "Daddy's coming back," Darius seems near tears as he assures them he's got a safe location. Just wait a little longer.

Seems Darius is gone, when did that happen? Well it's impossible for Roger to sleep in. Without Darius you can only scavenge one location nearby for today, shame really, but when you get enough settlers, you can send them on autoscavenge. You'll need to build a proper radio set to scavenge farther distances.

On the one hand, that house is gonna be the property of the next settler.

Mechanic. We need to replenish our mechanical supplies and I'm pretty sure water filtration will need it.

Secure SMG and Toolbox, break into office.

Grab crowbar and gun, scavenge car for expensive parts. Leave the toolbox next to the car frame, make it look like someone's trying to fix it.

Get all that sweet mech, and break into the office.

Break down car, gather tools and put them in toolbox, keep SMG, proceed to office.

Yeah this. Make sure you've fully explored the area before you get into breaking down that car.

Yes exactly. Even if there's nothing of note on the computer, the device itself would be useful.

Computer on indicates that somebody's probably been here recently... and if that's a helmet on the desk, a helmet sitting around means that they're probably still here. Proceed with caution.

If I'm right that's a helmet, is the design recognizable? I mean yesterday we were able to pin down someone as a member of the Steel Empire based on the armor design I think, so that helmet may give us some clues.
