Voodoo - Serendipity

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Philly is, as post-apocalyptic metropoli go, a well-maintained and well-patrolled city. This is not a difficult standard to reach, however, and it tends to fall art in the face of overwhelming wildlife.

Hippos are pretty damn overwhelming. And they've apparently been sighted all over the southern roads out of the city heading towards DC.

One of the older market folks, a gray-haired woman with a face like badly preserved leather, has indicated that the easiest way to avoid the hippos is to head north into the city a ways and make for the northeast part of town. There's apparently a southbound road that swings around the worst of the hippo area and doesn't cost too much travel time by comparison.

"We've got those," Ellen says. "And a number of pulse grenades- not many, they're for emergencies. They create localized EMPs; they're basically an escape plan if the robots get too close. If he's good with those I'll see if we can't step up his shotgun ammo a little bit and give him some of the high explosives to carry."

"Sounds good to me. You want to head out now, or try and get some more people from Bar?"

"I'd like to try for Bar first," says Ellen. "A mole people robot is easier to explain than a previously unknown design suddenly appearing on the GA grounds."
