Pertinax Ammunition Fabrication Systems would like to offer their sincere condolences to the surviving members of The Stranger's Sibling Division, the 482nd Dismounted Infantry or "Kam's Killerz" [sic], presently serving with Legio XIV Magni on the other side of the galactic divide. Legio XIV Magni spokesclones cite, in part, Pertinax Ammunition Fabrication Systems for their success in the ongoing efforts to free the populace of Neuegarten I from an authoritarian regime which has placed Wrecking Crew on the censored media list.

And now, a message for our valiant Wreckers. The first Wrecker to locate and upload The Stranger's holotag and Luxe will be granted 1 (one) light chemical artillery bombardment beacon and one subscription to Cannons and Cephalopods Monthly.*

Pertinax Ammunition Fabrication Systems, because we care


*Offer not necessarily redeemable while deployed, subject to terms, subject to legal constraints, subject to Wrecking Crew Holdings LLC fiat. By using the provided beacon, wrecker waives all liability on the part of Pertinax Ammunition Fabrication Systems and its subsidiaries, executives and owners for any personal injury or misfortune up to and including death on the part of the wrecker.

Name: Kal Risso, Newtype HP: 5/5 Move: 3 Luxe: 27 -> 0
Loadout: Squidpack, Patient Zero, Brachial Spurs

Kal Risso's game-sanctioned COMMS tablet bleeped and flashed out a vibratory dance of electronic joy, and Kal whipped out the pesky device to take a look. He thumbed through the myriad blocked messages that had been sent from his friends, from his family, and from more than several of his former lovers, all trying to wish him luck and support in the Wrecking Crew games. A lot of good their messages'll do him, here in Salt. Kal won't be able to read a word of theirs until his work here is done, and that doesn't happen until the fat lady sings - for mercy. He closed down a matching application revealing all the sexy mutants in the area that would like to meet with him, and he found what he was looking for: an official alert from the games.

The weirdly amorphous stranger was dead - killed by immense irradiation somewhere nearby, no less. Shame. Kal also noticed that ten Luxe had made its way into his online account somehow. Great. Furthermore, Kal's device had just finished downloading some new time-sensitive application, one that allowed Kal to directly upload his salvage into Luxe. Perfect. he knew just what he needed to do.

Kal dumped out his pockets into the sands and, holding up his COMMS tablet, he took a hyper-crisp picture of his collection of scrap, gadgetry, and ancient packets of Spice. He watched with mild unease as the geocached photo was uploaded from his device and onto the Wrecking Crew's game servers, whereupon the tagged items before him were whisked away in a shimmering fractal haze of teleporter magic.

Kal looked at his tablet's readout and watched as it updated in realtime: Kal Risso: 37L Excellent.

He set off toward the saltwater inlet he'd seen from far off, back when he was still climbing the megatanker. Rumor has it there was a powerful submarine in there made with ancient machinery and valuable weaponry...

Unfortunately, his ocular implant's Geiger readouts started climbing exponentially upon his approach. He'd have to go around this hazard instead of through it, or else he'd need a special boon from any of his supporters that might still be watching...

Now that he had the coin to pay for it, he knew what he needed to ask for.

"Innoculation, my friends, radiation innoculation - my Luxe for a radical radiation deterrent!"

Congratulations, Scramble and Doobrie. Know that Vesuvius has your back. We're looking forward to seeing more chivalry and explosive violence! I'm at the edge of my seat here.

For now, the inimitable Miss Scramble seems to have gathered quite some equipment, yet a bit lacking in firepower, with an optiscope that is like a nice Venusian Pigburger and a sunny afternoon without our new Supernova BBQ set. If I counted right, you should have enough for me to send you something that should help you out with that.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

[STEV ANSAHOK / HP: 3 / MOVE: 2 / 4 Luxe / CYBER: RIG JACK]

Oh wow. Wow, that was a lot of rigs, there. Like, a lot of rigs. It looked like one of them was piloted by a wrecker, but that could really go either way. The important thing in a situation like this was to establish dominance. After all, the rigs are probably more scared of you than you are for them. Tightening his hat, Stev waved his scoped hammer in the air, shouting at the assembled Gammas as he strode forward.

"Hey! You lot! Yeah, you! I'm Stev! I fought in the Moon Wars! And I'm not afraid of WHOOPS!"

Preoccupied with the enemy, Stev slipped on a puddle of machine oil, the head of the K-Hammer hitting the ground with a mighty thud which was soon followed by some worrying rumbling. Shaking himself off, Stev climbed to his feet.

"Right! Like I was saying, I'm not afraid of--oh."

The rumbling reached a crescendo as a gaping hole opened up beneath four of the rigs, sending them tumbling to the ground, leaving the wrecker-crewed Gamma untouched.

"Well, then."

Bobby-Jack peered at the trio of mutants roasting what appeared to be some sort of giant, tumor-ridden insectoid aberration on top of a chemical fire. The wreck didn't look that promising as per loot, and one of the three certainly looked like it had gotten its protein. Hell, even if he nailed it right in the forehead with his rifle, Bobby-Jack doubted he could take it down.

A lot of risk, little reward.

Loadout: Squidpack, Patient Zero, Brachial Spurs

Kal Risso was setting up camp for the night underneath a ramshackle embankment of rusted ship metal when he heard "the call." It came quietly at first, as if it was being emitted from a terribly long distance, but as far as where the call was coming from, the flighty Neotype could get no directional bearings to make sense of. The screaming static of the sandstorm on Kal's visual and audio scanners were not helping, either. It seemed -strangely enough- as though the call was coming from all directions at once, and it only seemed to be getting louder. Suddenly, the droning voices went silent. Kal was starting to feel panic settling in when the sound returned, loud and clear, as if someone were standing right behind him: the Voice. It spoke inside Kal's mind with reverberating power:

"Risso.... Risso... Come to us, brother Risso. Join us and we shall rule this desert. We have the key that will unseal the Vault, which bears the weapon that shall unseat the Beast. We have been waiting for the One who would bring us to that moment of Glory, Risso. We have been waiting for you, our brother... Lay down your arms and let us come nearer, so we may see you one mutant to another..."

Kal Risso had been tired of these mind games from square one. His cortical implant had finally adjusted to the sandstorm's novel parameters, and he could just make out the approach of five haggard shadows slowly bearing down on him in the thick of the night. It was time to make a decision: fight or flight.

Kal Risso broke the silence of the sandstorm to scream into the blackness of the desert, "I'm a Neotype, you psychotic freak. Now get out of my head and stay out!" It was time to improvise with what he had on hand.

Kal Risso didn't have time to stop, didn't have time to think - couldn't let himself think. The "louder" he thought, the easier it would be for them to find him, so he ran blindly into the darkness with his mind drawing a complete blank until he found a suitably defensible structure to take cover inside. He locked himself inside the depths of a metallic craft's hatch and rummaged around in the darkess for some bedding.

When he woke up, he found himself in a derelict ship's private quarters, surrounded by tiny bits of scrap parts and loose pieces of gadgetry. Some of this could be worth something...

Kal Risso woke bleary-eyed in the dim ambient light of the derelict ship he'd fallen asleep in. Daylight must have come while he was sleeping. He collected his things in a haze and blundered his way outside the hatch.

Time to get his bearings.

He switched on the interactive map display of Salt on his handy COMMS tablet. The readout displayed the local time and his approximate location.

"Let's see... I'm right HERE, at 13.05."
He poked at the map with his finger, to center it on his location.



"And today I want to go HERE-"
He stabbed at the map with his finger twice to get an ultra-enhanced view of 10.05.

"But I'll need some SPONSOR ASSISTANCE first. If you all want to see what's in that zone - dear watchers in the sky - I'll need you to send me.... this!"

He scrolled past inventoried images of the Wreckers' potential supply drops, ultimately landing his tablet's sights on a Rad Innoculation syringe (Cost: 25+11=36 Luxe).

"Get this to me within the next couple of hours and I'll be over there in a jiffy, no questions asked. Otherwise..."

He shrugged dramatically and began wandering off in the wrong direction.

13.05 -> 12.05 -> 12.04 -> 11.03

Delta grimaces as the toxins enter his body, but he went through worse during Initation. He'll recover, and the airstrike beacon was worth it. For now though, he had to find something worth using it on.

Move to 07.05

If you could try to arrange some explosions, or large fires, that would be absolutely great thanks. Marketing really wants to incorporate some shots from this in some commercials. Say, Scramble, what do you think of? 'You want an omelette, just try breaking this egg! Can't have a BBQ without some smoldering corpses." We're still brainstorming here'

"Hey, thanks! Really generous of you. I'm going to stick around for a bit, wait for my buddy to catch up. If you want to wait too, you're certainly welcome to."

Just going to stay in place for now.

"Let's make for the Tower."

"Even with slick new metal legs we're not the fastest here. It will be good to know who's where and try and target them."


Scramble's rig swivels to face a camera drone. It raises it gun to "rest" on its shoulder heroically.

"And anyone in our way is about to get burned." There's a long beat and the awkward feeling that the new type has a hideous forced smile on under her gas mask.

"Um.. yea, let's go"

Kal Risso had barely dried off by the time he stumbled across the next horrifying lizard-like mouth-beast. It snorted and woke with a start when it smelled Kal's presence and began lurching to its feet in the Wrecker's midst, its ponderous bulk apparent by the way it swung and thrashed its neck to maintain enough balance to get upright. As it snapped its teeth at him with a furious gnashing fervor, Kal cracked off a shot from his straightened arm with an intense bang. The shot went wide and ricocheted wildly, striking at a completely different target.

Improvise against the Second Squamous Horror: 1d6 4 = Crane Boom: 1d8/10

A series of twangs rang up the the immense arm of a towering crane... A cable snapped somewhere, and a metallic object somewhere up high above began to creak and lurch. With a whining ring and the screech of metal, the massive hook at the end of the crane boom snapped loose from its mooring and descended on an elliptical path, hurtling directly toward the squamous horror's position at relentless speed with impossible force.

The burly, masked Junker waved cheerfully to the new wrecker, , then nodded to Stev.

"Greetings! I am Midge, I've been working with Stev there."

He punctuated the conversation by blasting at the encroaching muties with a thoroughly irresponsible shotgun.

"I am sure we will get on just fine, yes? Brace yourselves, there are a lot of explosives around here and I expect the enemy will also be shooting."

Message to Kal Risso: Congratulations, your request is approved! We're thrilled with your progress and have high hopes for you, so we are also sending a freshly synthesized medication that may extend the efficacy of the Rad-Inoculation, with a small risk of side effects. Happy wrecking!
