The scene that presents itself to the people arriving from Milliways is one of devastation old and new. The shattered, weathered remains of what had once been a city street spill out to either side, and half-standing, half-slumping outer walls are all that remain of most of the buildings. There are no people here, no animals, no life to be seen...

Well, no. That's not necessarily true. Here and there, fires burn merrily, and the occasional scratching scuttling sound can be heard on the sullen August winds that wind through the empty streets.

"Do you have any other family, Bryan?" Ellen says, glancing at Hellboy. It's not as if she wants to leave the kid here alone, after all. "Anyone else who can take care of you?"

"I have a cousin, sort of," Bryan says. "Her name's Vera Weatherly. Dad said she lived on this big, old ship, somewhere down the river."

Ellen blinks at that. "I didn't think there were any ships any more."

"Dad said it didn't go anywhere," says Bryan. "He said it was called Rivet City."

They still have the ants to deal with, of course, side missions happen and they can deal.

"I don't even know where it is," Ellen says helplessly. "The traders go there, but nobody ever told me how to find it... I think we need to call everyone together."

So she touches her headset, and does so.
