Chela Lonemaple

Chela clears numerous security checkpoints and finally makes her way to Rokhton, a large Zanzinian city. After a few weeks of surviving off hard bread, fountain water, and anything else she could scrounge up (as well as avoiding curfew officers) she decides to move on. The money she did bring, while unable to buy decent housing in Rokhton, provided a train ticket with "88% Safety Guarantee" to the western regions of the rogue lands.

While on the train, Chela met Haveila Yukon, a pioneer immigrant like herself who had settled in the nation a few years earlier. Haveila told Chela about New Providence, a scrub town in the West where she was headed to. Chela mentioned she was a farmer, and Haveila convinced her to ditch her stop to Ya'Hadel and get off at New Providence.

It was dusty in New Providence, and the people were accustomed to cactus, desert lizard, and gritty water. Food imports were expensive. With the help of the locals, Chela built a humble underground farm (to keep the produce safe from dust storms and the harsh sun) that provided for the whole town.

Mike Rotwild

When given the opportunity to open a new location for the Jones & Teller arms conglomerate in Lobelia, the talented and aggressive Mike jumped at the chance. Shortly after arriving, billboards with the tacky (yet effective) message "Guns don't kill people, but they do help." sprang up in the wastelands outside of Lobelia and gun sales rose another 10%. With the raise, Mike set out to build his family "palace."

The Rotwild complex, located within the city center, drew attention from the Zanzinian government. Suspicious of the private tutors, chefs, and guards employed by the Rotwilds, the Minister of Immigrant Affairs sent an agent to run an inquiry of the successful young couple. Mike, seeing a potentially "uncomfortable" situation, took it upon himself to invite the Minister himself over for dinner. Charmed by an elegant evening (and maybe a few "off the record" drinks and gifts), the Minister dismissed the agent and cleared the Rotwilds from the suspicions list.

The oldest of the Rotwild sons moved back to Briarcliffe Falls to enter in his own business affairs, while the youngest followed in his father's footsteps to become the advertising director of the major uranium company. While hunting lions in the south, Mike suffered a severe leg injury after tripping over a scrub root but, around the fireplace of his grandliving room, he "barely escaped with his life" after a young male lion "pounced from behind a boulder... big as a SUV."

Anna Corradi

The road to the Zanzinian rogue lands was long for Anna Corradi. As former military personnel, Anna was subject to intense scrutiny, interrogation sessions, and long paper-and-pen tests. After three months of being stuck in the security outpost, she began to wonder if industrial work was worth it.

Two weeks later, while Anna was sleeping (as fitfully as she could) in her dormitory, three men removed her from the outpost. Upon waking, after being scared and confused, she was indoctrinated by and worked for Zahara's son Hassan Zanzi's personal security force. Sure it was fun for awhile - abducting people in broad daylight, monitoring the communication of suspicious figures, devising the "accidental demolition" of rival businesses - but after a year or so the explosions lost their music, intel-gathering wasn't as important as it used to be, and the blood wouldn't wash out of her clothes as well anymore.

So, leaving the city and her job (without notice), Anna headed north to the Isilia settlement, and her work with the "security" service helped her keep under the radar and undetected. But not undetected from Johann Vandergild, a dashing (and older) engineer who ran the industrial facility in Isilia that specialized in off-road vehicles (a highly in-demand commodity in the rogue lands). Under his wing, Anna saw her premier design hit the market within two months, and within six Johann proposed to her. She accepted, but only after her second design hit the beaten roads.

Zsa Khan

Zsa never makes it to the cities, or even though the security checkpoints somehow. She pawns off her Jeep and takes to the mountains, living on scrubs, grubs, and stream water. Her hound proves to be her constant companion, easing the pain of leaving her family behind in Bucha. She travels by night, to avoid the sun, without any real direction until one night her hound starts barking at a cave. Her sword before her, she prepares to step towards the cave when a ragged-looking man emerges brandishing a rusty spear.

The man's name is Ulys Erlinoft, former political advisor to Zahara Zanzi, and his elaborate cave system is a rough settlement for Zanzinian political refugees. Zsa is offered a home, and she takes it, raising goats on the rugged hills and talking revolution with the men at night. A few years later, though, after a heated debate, Zsa takes her hound and leaves the mountains.

She underestimates her ability to survive in the barren waste between the mountains and the closest city Ghazal. After a valliant three days she collapses in the shell of a downed plane and blacks out. She eventually wakes up, in Ghazal's smallest hospital, to treatment of heat exhaustion and dehydration. When she recovers, the men in black suits come by and hustle her into a car with dark-tinted windows for interrogation and processing. It is unknown if she is deported.

Harry Cooper

Surprisingly, Harry makes it through security without confiscations or fuss. One of the inspectors even recommends a better book on hacking and gives him a donut. Harry's van squeaks through to Lobelia and he quickly finds an apartment above a Chinese restauarant to set up his mancave. He gets distracted by the food in Lobelia, and after days of binging he is approached by a sickly-looking woman who offers him a job to "break down the government."

Of course, Harry "joins the cause" and sets about hacking into cabinent members' files, bank accounts, and he is only a few days from cracking into the security mainframe. He even manages to snag a scandalous photograph of current leader Hassan Zanzi with a beautiful woman who is not his wife. Giddy over the prospect of turning this photograph from blackmail to first Zanzinian tabloid's main page, he celebrates at the Chinese restaurant.

Two men in black suits and dark sunglasses greet him at his table and "kindly" escort him into a vehicle outside. His confiscated materials are inside the car, along with the woman (cleaned up and in a suit as well) and he is taken into a compound. He is informed that he has provided sufficient evidence against himself, thanks to the well-placed dummy systems and posed photograph. A few weeks later, a dossier sent to Jareka of their recently deceased citizen contains a coroner's report that states that "Mr. Cooper suffered his third, and last, heart attack."

Charlene Reynolds
[Oh, I am so excited]

As Saurisia has yet to exile any of its unique kind to the likes of the Rogue Lands, Mrs. Reynolds is quite the sensation. A special team at the security outpost is established to accomodate Charlene, asking basic health and national questions for their records. Unlike most visitors/immigrants, Charlene is given a map and overview of the Rogue Lands and directed to the larger cities in more hospitable regions.

When she arrives in Lhasa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs invites her to an informal dinner, which she graciously declines in deference to being invited by some Lhasa locals to dinner at a musical event. The music isn't really much to her taste, but it's not sore on the ears, and the locals are very friendly. Three days later, the Minister invites her again, and she becomes an informal ambassador of Saurisia. Mainly, she talks about her large brood of children and her dear husband.

After a week, and carefully avoiding the more barren areas, she picks up a few souvenirs for her kids, signs a few autographs for curious onlookers, and "gets the Hell out of Dodge."

Dr. Alexandru Tepes
[Points for using Dr. Steel as Dr. Tepes]

Dr. Tepes finds that he fits in well in the Zanzinian Rogue Lands. He is of the calmest immigrants at the security checkpoint, which allows him to be processed quickly, efficiently, and with little hassle. His robots are temporarily confiscated for investigation, but returned to him in a year unharmed. Upon leaving the checkpoint, he is approached by the Minister of Science & War to oversee the nuclear projects ongoing in the nation. Alexandru accepts and is ushered to the capital, set up in comfortable government housing with nearly unquestioned security clearance for the laboratories.

It takes a year or so for Alexandru to get used to the fluctuating temperatures of the rogue lands - hot during the day and the summer, cool at night, his familiar cold in the winter - but makes a decent adjustment. He is the recipient of prestigious awards, and even had the opportunity to shake hands with Hassan Zanzi, the current leader, who later promoted him as the new Minister of Science & War after the former minister "suffered a stroke."

While inspecting a medical laboratory in neighboring Lhasa, Alexandru met a brilliant geneticist. The younger Dr. Natasha Ivanova was fascinated by his robots and showed him some of her recent genetic experiments off-the-record. They later married and had one son. Young Otto followed in the scientific footsteps of his parents and became a renowned botanist, developing drought-resistant produce for the less-fortunate pioneers (though it would later be reclaimed and regulated by the Zanzinian government).

Fairy McQueenie

The young McQueenie (processed as simply "Stan" on official records) passed through security checkpoints rather successfully, despite having his personal effects confiscated at the border. He called Lhasa home and, following a "White Rabbit" trail throughout the city, eventually set up an underground gentleman's club/fashion salon in downtown Lhasa. After brief whirlwind romances and one-night-stands, Fairy settled down with Jupiter Wino for a few years before succumbing to a STD.
