    Martin realizes that he was confusing airsoft for air guns, and starts looking for those instead. ((taking 20)).

    Gunner helps finish loading up their new rig, and, just as he turned around, was handed a rifle and a pistol....odd.

    A

    Martin can easily find a few Pistols or Rifles, it looks like the looters took the real guns but pretty much ignored these.

    ((Remember that pistols take a Co2 Cartridge, but Rifles don't from what it looks like.))

    Greg calls out to Thompson, and Thompson looks up, then rises a moment later and comes to the side of the vehicle.

    I killed 'em man. Civilians. They just wanted a ride... They wouldn't listen...

    His eyes dart back and forth to the bleeding corpses and away again.

    B

    Everyone can load up with Kendrick, Gunnar, JB and this friend in the car, and Ken on the bike.

    The short ride passes rather uneventfully. Somehow, the city seems even more dead than before.

    Reunited!

    As Thompson is suffering a mental break down, the Convoy from Ken's house arrives. They can see the two dead bums face down a little ways away from the Humvee.

    I'm quite proud of this:

    WAAAGH!

    Greg switches to a much softer tone of voice. He didn't want to sound confrontational, Tom had just been through an ordeal. "Dude, it's okay. You did what you had to. You just need to calm down a bit. Help me load this stuff up, there are other people in this world that need help, we can't forget about them."

    Greg checks the bodies to see if there are any signs of life. If there aren't, then he tries to think of a way to dispose them without causing contamination. Afterwards, he starts loading the supplies into the humvee.

    The couple of large caliber machine gun wounds to the chest on both victims identify cause of death. There is a dumpster nearby that would allow relatively safe, if crude, disposal.

    Thompson begins to come around.

    They weren't armed or nothin'. I told 'em to go to the shelter, we didn't have room for more people... but they kept coming. All moanin' and stuff. *ahem* Anyway yea, we need to look out for our own.... wait....

    He looks at a watch on his wrist.

    Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. We better move our asses! We're within the scheduled attack time! Where the hell are the other two?! This sobering thought seems to bring him around.

    ((Martin and Tim can be on their way out by now, and arrive shortly))

    "I'm going to get a cart, I'll be right back." Martin says to Greg. He goes and gets a cart ((I should have thought of bringing a cart from the beginning. :P)) and brings it and loads all the air pistols, riffles, Co2 Canisters and bullets he can find. As well as any real guns and ammo he found. "We probability should get back to the others."

    Gunner was happy to reunite with the others, a big grin spread across his face....that was, of course, until he learned of the impending attack.

    How could you not tell us this?! No! It doesn't matter, we need to get the feth out of here! Pack your stuff, and load it up!

    Gunner moves to try and help people load up and grab last minute things.

    Tim finishes rummaging around. He puts the shells into one of the pockets on the front of his vest and then puts the machete he finds into his bag then stands up. He then sling the shot gun over his shoulder as he walks out of the store and back to the Humvee.

    Once Tim makes it to the Humvee he climbs in and and looks around
    "Everyone here?"

    Just as everyone is about to load up, Ken happens to spot something in the sky once again! These are clearly the same types of things he saw earlier. He can manage to get the Binocs ready in time,and gets a closer look. They appear to be moving across the horizon quite fast. He can't inspect them closely as they are moving quickly and hard to focus on, and the Binocs only zoom so close. They appear to be some sort of Rain-drop shaped black metal vehicle of some kind. They are streaming a white jet of smoke... or steam behind them, out of the skinny part of the Raindrop shape. There are two that he can see, one is larger than the other from your perspective, so it looks like they are heading for different places and are farther apart than they seem from the ground.

    If you didn't know better, they would look like Bombs, but even the biggest bombs probably wouldn't be visible from as far away as these things look to be.

    Tim is able to gun it and keep control of the large vehicle. As you make your drive back, you can start to see more and more of these pods. A few are close enough that you can tell they will be landing somewhere fairly close.

    Tim dodges a few road obstacles while keeping a high speed and will make a short trip out of the normally 30 min or so ride. The car can follow Tim as well. However, just as the Hanger you departed from comes back into view, you finally see what you all have been dreading. At the mouth of the hanger is one of the large drop pods. It looks like a sleek black metal with engravings looking like circuitry running all over it. A large triangle section appears to be missing, the inside of the pod looks very dark. Obviously this one has opened and whatever was inside appears to be out now.

    You can start to hear scattered gunfire from somewhere in the city, but it's still quite faint and sporadic.

    Kendrick

    Kendrick brings the car to a slow stop, and shifts it into park in front of the pod. He unbuckles his seat belt and slowly exits the vehicle, walking slowly towards the drop pod. "Do you guys know what this is. This is huge! This is ... everything. This is proof of intelligent life in the universe. I always assumed but I never expected, not in my life time, to actually see proof. Kendrick proceeds to walk towards the strange pod, almost in a daze, hands slightly outstretched towards the opening.

    Interrupting everything is the loud gunfire of a large caliber machinegun, fired nearby. Very Nearby.

    Thompson fires off about 15 rounds suddenly, he had manned the gun as soon as the pod came into sight. Looking in the direction his barrel is facing, you don't see anything suspicious except some new bullet holes in a building on the edge of the block behind you about 20 yards away.

    He seems a little shaky, and doesn't say anything at first.

    "What was it?"

    ((I'm a little confused by the order of action here. I assume the gunfire stopped Greg from driving off, right? Also, I had thought the pod was right in front of the bunker, so driving wouldn't be necessary to get to the bunker since we're there. ))
