"How do they know who their leader is? Is it instinct? Or is there something about me?"
"I can't believe you're having me cover for you, Ashley. You know the rules. The last time someone brought something 'friendly' to the camp it did NOT end well. Rich cried for days."
"But if we figure out how to communicate we can use it to our benefit! Besides, the guy is pretty helpful around here.

I have heard the young ones whisper amongst themselves, questioning why we must stay in our glistening towers. Why we must rigorously cleanse our bodies, why we must live rigorous, studious lives.
How uncouth. The younger generation knows not of the plight of Aphelia, before [The Hero] came to save us.
Armor-Piercing Rounds
Order: Armor-Piercing Rounds, 50mm
Tracking Number: 15***********
Estimated Delivery: 3/07/2056
Shipping Method: Standard
Shipping Address: Fort Margaret, Jonesworth System
Shipping Details: Alright, just to clarify, these rounds aren’t faulty. Heck, I’d say they’re better than the standard, but... that’s kind of the problem. I don’t know if it was a new shipment of materials, or a problem with the assembly line, but these rounds are supposed to pierce armor. Not pierce through the armor, five feet of reinforced concrete, a few warehouses, and an armored truck.
Artifact Key
The key is incredibly simple. A stone crescent, with little discernable detail to the naked eye. But if one looks closer, with a sight beyond sight, they may notice the patterns inscribed on the key’s being. The patterns tell many things:
The key’s function: to unlock a lost trove of abandoned treasure.
The key’s creators: two brothers, one composed of ambition and the other compassion.
The key’s hopes: infused into the key, deep within its core, is a memory of better times, and the hope that one day, perhaps things could be better again.

AtG Missile Mk. 1
Fixing a spare bayonet onto his shotgun, he glanced at the horizon. The thundering of footsteps big and small was growing louder and louder – they were nearly upon him. He went over his kit one last time.
Five bayonets. Twenty three packs of incendiary explosives. Fifteen magazines of armor-piercing ammunition. Thirty three sticky bombs. Four tear-gas grenades, and so on.
And his favorite – two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, loaded with six AtG Viper Missiles.

Bandit
A few drinks here, a few laughs there. A few more drinks. A sleight of hand – and bang, keycard access to the loading bay of the Safe Travels. The camo suit can handle the rest.
A secret mission means low profile – and low security. Besides, everyone is wearing environment suits before we leave orbit. How would they know?
I mean, it’s the goddamn Contact Light. Think of how much those higher security chests could flip for!
