20210116_191847 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrBlue: Guess we'll figure out who's who later. into the truck you go!
The Scavengers seize the working vehicle and bring her back to their camp. Poorly constructed buildings, machinery and equipment are littered all over the area. In true scavenger fashion, these people survive off whatever junk they can find
20210116_191853 by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
They pull into the heavily guarded compound
20210116_191946 by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The supply truck is backed into a rudimentary garage where they start looting the parts out of the trailer
20210116_192030 by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
Mara is let out of the truck, and after considering her story, the other Scavengers decide to let her go, on the condition that she do some work for them
20210116_193110 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrRip: Alright. You're no Red. You can go, but we're taking the truck
Mara: Wait, How am I supposed to get out of here then? my vehicle is toast, I need that truck!
Rip: Hmmm. I've got an idea. get in the truck come with me.
20210116_193424 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrRip: This stretch is our territory, and to control it, we need vehicles. If not this one, then we're going to need another.
20210116_193435 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrRip: So we're going to a Mechanic, guy's name is Frank. he works with us. He makes vehicles and we arm them.
You'll help him make some rigs and after your part is done, you can go.
The truck pulls up to the scrapyard
20210116_200314 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrRip: And don't think about taking off with this truck, we fitted it with a tracker and an explosive, try to take off without fulfilling your side of the deal, and we'll blow you sky high
Frank the Mechanic comes out to greet them.
20210116_200453 by Kastrenzo, on FlickrRip: Frank, you know how you said you needed help? Well this is Mara, she's gonna help you make a rig or two.. do a good job
Frank brings out a bike for Rip to take back to his compound

Rip takes off...
Rip: Remember what I told you!
