Into the Zone- Man's result of playing God [IC/Signup/open]

[Laka Strolistandiler]

“Aight, lads- in and out, simple as!”

The STOL Zeppelin E.MIV plane was circling around the E.48, looking for a place where it could drop off the men- essentially being a glorified, militarized bush plane, it could land on nearly any flat ground, including water… However, what it was looking for was preferably a safe and even spot, where said plane will surely not be ambushed with heavy weapons the moment it comes to a stop. For 20 minutes already it was flying in circles, checking nearly every corner of every building with it’s FLIR camera, looking for any suspicious movement. While this was going on, some of the squad members were arguing over what marching songs they’d sing while traversing around- although they understand the dangers involved, Lakans wouldn’t be Lakans if they weren’t singing something while going somewhere

[Soveiniesberg]

Joseph would hear the plane from inside the station, only slightly though.
"Damn planes above this place? I got no clue.."
"Hopefully there's nothing bad about those planes."
He would step on more bugs.

[Arpasia]

Hearing his words, Mark shrugged and continues to walk along the empty train tracks, before glancing to his left and seeing the Lakan zeppelin, he then stopped in his tracks, quickly followed by Joseph stopping with him. "That's no damn airplane." Mark began "That's a goddamn blimp, what th hell is a blimp doing here?" he continued, anxiety now slightly audible in his voice, after a few seconds of standing still, the pair continued on following wherever the track leads them to, "I think that whoever is inside that thing might be up to no good" Mark commented, as they were reaching the middle of their walking, they saw that whatever the blimp was doing, it stood stationary the entire time, at this point, the pair begin to pick up their pace, hoping to avoid the blimp and its crew.

[Soveiniesberg]

"Mark, I think that's a small liaison aircraft, kinda sounded like it, but still, we DO need to avoid it."
He continued to walk onwards, taking a sip of some Bulleit bourbon he had.

While this was going on, some of the squad members were arguing over what marching songs they’d sing while traversing around- although they understand the dangers involved, Lakans wouldn’t be Lakans if they weren’t singing something while going somewhere

The Lakan FLIR camera could spot the thermal signature of corpse eater bugs and the cold bodies of dead scavs and troops inside the terminal section of E.48 on the outside where remains of the abandoned heavy weaponry most machine guns like DHSKs, M2HB, and KPV along with the skeleton corpses of the crew that served them laying about nearby on the railroads were heavily destroyed armored trolleys. The area only has a few good places to land up north if you walked about for about 10 minutes there was lake and in the east were some steep hills.

[Arpasia]

After seeing what appears to be men climbing down from the blimp's gondola and began to search the perimeter near the landing site, Mark almost lost his nerves due to him being fully convinced that whoever was driving the airship might be up to no good. M16A1 in hand, Mark ushers Joseph to carry on forwards, while he follows behind, walking backwards and training his rifle at the blimp. After a few minutes of walking, the airship was no longer in sight, after which, the pair took a sigh of relief, Mark once again pulls out his compass from his trouser pocket, he realizes that the tracks were heading in a easternly course, while the Southeast leads to a small forest with mostly dead trees. After contemplating for a moment, Mark continues to walk into the forest, M16A1 aimed forwards, while he silently motioned Joseph to follow him.

[Soveiniesberg]

"Gee, are we going to assassinate them or something? I fuckin' hope not."
He continued behind Mark, drinking more bourbon.
"I want to be their friend, I need allies here. I sincerely do not want to murder anyone on this trip."
He finished his bourbon and tossed the bottle into a bush.
He took a deep breath, and continued behind Mark.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Deciding that the best possible “way out” would be landing as close to the area as possible, the Fokker would fly towards the lake and now circle around it, dropping a small sonar buoy into the lake- if needed to measure it’s depth precisely to avoid crashing down on landing. Inside the plane, the squad prepared the 4-men inflatable boat-while all of them could swim, there were fears of their equipment being damaged by water- moreover than that, getting wet might hamper their combat ability somewhat severely, judging on how cold the water was supposed o be..

[Soveiniesberg]

"You see that damn plane? I hope those people don't kill us." Joseph says
He continued behind Mark.
"It's a small plane, really small."
He lit a smoke with his AK and started to smoke the cigarette, puffing on it.

[Arpasia]

"I wouldn't use guns" Mark said, seeing joseph lighting the cigarette using his AKS, he then pulls out a zippo, "Got this from Fort Campbell, and I hold it dear, but you can have it for the time". Once the plane has passed over, Mark turned off his headlamp and then stood up slightly and advanced forward, still crouching down near the ground, his M16A1 aimed forward still, he then motioned for Joseph to follow him with his arm, "Aim your gun forwards, whatever may lay ahead might not be pretty" he said, in a loud whisper.

The two advances forward, heading southeast, just 15 minutes into their walk when they are nearing a small clearing where the section of a large building surrounded by three comm towers stood, it might even be station E-48. But before they even reached the building, they came across the motionless remains of one of the mutated dogs they have encountered last night, but what was most disconcerting was the way it died, there was a large bite mark on it's long neck, where dark crimson blood drools from the holes caved out by teeth. "Oh shit" Mark whispered, "L-let's just go to that" he then said, pointing to the building, and with that, the pair advance forward.

When they reached the doors to the section of the building, mark tried yanking at the door, but unsurprisingly, it was locked, so he tried unlocking it by firing at the lock with his M16A1. He then unloads 6 shots from his rifle, leaving the knob severely damaged, and a near-empty magazine, he then kicks down the door, turns his headlamp back on and aims his M16A1 forward and into the darkness, glancing over his shoulder, he motioned Joseph to follow him inside and told him to aim his AKS forward, and once Joseph aimed his AKS-74 forward, Mark advances forward, taking cautious steps as to not alert what might lay ahead.

[Soveiniesberg]

The door swung open, revealing a sort of radio station. The walls were old and crumbling, and scraps and bits of things lined the floors. The concrete on the ground was stained with all sorts of things, including blood and rust. Rebar poked from the walls in some places, but, surprisingly the place seemed intact.

There was a tape deck station off to the left, and to the right there were some lockers, and up ahead there was the radio equipment.
The tape deck station looked like it was still operable, and it was off. The lockers were old and rusted, the dark blue lead paint peeling off of them revealing pitting and rust on the lockers. The radio equipment looked as if it could work after a few minutes of repairs, but nothing else could be said about the room.

[GreatOceania]

The radio station was well abandoned and that could be easily be seen just by looking around building crumbling, bunch of scraps litter the ground. The radio equipment having been abandoned collecting dust and exposed to the harsh weathers were covered in rust, dust and moss there’s no way to be able to repair anything here besides the usual equipment in one corner of the room was another radio however bunch of machines and computers were attached to it as if it had some important role and next to it was a small safe what’s in it is unknown. In nearby hallway was a corpses of an unknown scav however his ears were cut off and above him was an message that reads “Hear no evil” down the hallway was the door towards archive room.

[Arpasia]

While walking around in the darkness inside of vacant and derelict radio station, Mark's curiousity grows ar the shelves filled with tape recordings and countless sheets of paper strewn along the floor, but when the light from his headlamp suddenly lands on something, he recoiled. Sitting before him was the motionless body of a scavenger, but what caused him to jump was the fact that the corpse appeared to be missing it's ears, Mark was so flummoxed by what he was witnessing that he almost pulled the trigger on his rifle. Taking a moment to collect himself, he continued staring at the corpse, now Joseph too was staring at it, before Mark shook his head and turns away from the horrific sight, he then made his way over to a table filled with equipment and sat down in a chair next to it, he then inspects the paper and equipment before him, and without thinking about it, he picks up a headset and puts it on, but unsurprisingly, it didn't function, for the cable connecting the device to the outlet had been severed.

Mark begins picking up random pieces of paper, before stuffing it in his bag, when he was asked by Joseph about why he was wearing the headset, he replied that "it looked cool". After this, Mark leads Joseph down the hall leading to the archive room, and past the corpse, once the pair had entered the room, Mark finds a row of shelves containing tapes, both voice recordings and celluloid film. But what caught his attention was a Polaroid picture of the radio station in it's hayday, although it looked worn, he then puts it in his pocket and walks over to the shelves, after which, he tells Joseph "Find an audio recorder, I think it might be in the radio room or somewhere, there has to be one in here.".

[Soveiniesberg]

He would find a few tapes, shoving them in his bag.
"This stuff'll be nice." Joseph would say, continuing to scour the place for important things.

Anything left out in the open was destroyed by age and weather and anything that did survive would be locked up in containers and cabinets

snip

The audio recorder and whatever they need would be in the equipment room or in the archive room however they would need to hurry as someone or something turned on a radio of sorts and the sounds of music can be heard echoing throughout the building although because of how old the radio is static could be heard

[GreatOceania]

As the Scavs and Hunters of the junkyard continue their daily activities whether that be adventuring out into the junkyard to trading with some of the traders or having drink to celebrate their success or grief over the loss of a friend while others are fighting for the life’s one thing for sure in the distance heavy dark clouds indicates of a rain storm coming.

The weather of the Junkyard is real harsh will always punished those who are unprepared while the rain is the most bearable out of the others it produces a lot of rain causing dirt roads to be muddy making traveling by foot hard and those who have working vehicles rather wait until dry seasons comes in as the muddy roads can easily bog down their vehicles.

Depending where one is located the rain is always different in the radioactive parts the rain can be dangerous and scavs should always seek shelter and avoid catching the contaminated rain water and drinking it while others in dry areas can safely travel about as the rain ain’t as heavy in other areas this leading to no problems such as floods and muddy conditions.

The weather will always be one for the difficult obstacles that one will always have to deal with those who are exploring the Junkyard.

As the tram arrives on E49, Alyana Ulyari gazes around, watching as she goes past the gates, taking a last glimpse of the outside world. With her gun on the back, she immediately scouts around the junkyard, looking for a pistol she could use. She exclaims to herself a little, blaming the Naval command for not providing her a pistol, instead, they gave her a bulky weapon, topped with a grenade launcher.

"Damn the naval command. Expecting me to go on an unknown land with the worst kinds of loadout"

Personally, she'd rather have light and compact guns, enabling her to aim quickly. As such, she plans to ditch the SKR-7 in the future once she found a weapon of her choice. She takes a sigh at least, knowing that she finally got to be deployed, instead of standing as an honor guard of JURN Headquarters. Though of course, she searches the area with a swiss knife on top of her hands, covered by her coat. She also asked a few people around, asking locations or information of any shipgirl-alikes, or documents.

She also asked a few people around, asking locations or information of any shipgirl-alikes, or documents.

Most of the people she seeks out either didn't know what she was talking about or didn't know of any places however one of the guards for the station overheard and approached her while he was human his appearance didn't show it because of exposure to DMR-51 radiation which is one many dangerous factors within the junkyard it took a heavy toll on his body changing him from head to toe the radiation ravaged his skin exposing muscle, flaking the skin, damaged the connective tissue so he barely has a nose and ears but he could still hear and breath like any other people many could mistake him for a zombie. Once approaching her he spoke to her in a raspy voice that sounds as if he hadn't drank anything in days.

"I heard you're looking for certain documents about shipgirl-alikes while I have no idea what that is what I do know is that there is a guy who has been here since day zero and before everything went to shit and knows the layout of this hellhole like the back of his hand his name is Jerry you'll find him back inside the farmers market sitting at what we call the reception area tell him what you're looking for and he'll tell you where to look" after that he walked off presumably back to his post now Alyana has a starting point and that was to seek out a guy name Jerry within the Farmers Market (Station E-49).

[Soveiniesberg]

Joseph trudges over to a cabinet, taking his AKS-74U out and bashing the door to it open with the metal stock.
"Hey, look at this stuff! It's 5.45 AP ammo, and 5.56 AP ammo!" He says, excitedly.
He looks the 5.45 ammo, shoving it deep within his bag. He finds 7.62x39mm AP rounds, and takes them too.

[Janpia]

Alyana of course, is quite startled when she saw the guard approaching her, promptly preparing the knife beneath her coat for nearly mistakening him as a monster. Though she calmed down, as the guard tells her a bit of information she may need to find. After hearing the information, she gave a slight nod, and watches as the guard goes back. Though in her head, that's one of her small objectives completed, though she still haven't find any pistols in the area.

She then packs her stuff, grab her rifle on her back, and checks if its in safe mode. After checking, she nestle it along her arms, ready to use it anytime she may need it. She then walks towards the farmer's market, to search for Jerry. While going there, she often checks the radiation levels at her Geiger counter, just making sure if she's safe.

Radiation levels were at safe levels so risk of exposure was low unless there was something radioactive nearby. The entrance to market was guarded by those from the CMSDT-Army so they look way different than the ordinary soldier instead of wearing actual military fatigues they wore what they got on hand ranging from trench coats, leather jackets and sometimes if one could get their hands on it actual uniforms but modified to suit their needs in the tunnels.

their gear consists of steel of helmets and the Oceanian copy of the Atlyn helmet however a few didn’t wear one and just wore a hood or hat instead and their ballistic vests was enough to deal with pistol rounds and sometimes intermediate cartridges and a few wore their gas mask and other wore a balaclava basically they didn’t have the good stuff the Army have but it was enough to deal with most problems they’ll encounter.

Anyways the said guards were behind sandbags with one having an M2HB machine gun with the gunner dozing off and another guard seeing Alyana approaching radio to guy in charge of opening the door once done an smaller door opened up to allow individuals to come in and out the loud squeak of metal sliding woke up the other guy he looked around before falling back to sleep while the second guard gestures her to go in.

Once she was inside the first thing she noticed was that the place was bigger on inside than it look on the outside. The entire was filled people both scavs and OSDRT personnel with shops selling various wares that would help someone on their journey in the junkyard to a few restaurants where people could get a bite to eat and also apparently there was a bar as a scav walked out in a drunken state and tried to walk before falling to the ground and passing while the other people ignore the drunk something else took an notice.

the creature climbed down from the walls it didn’t look human at all and it was covered in various shiny things the creature taken once he reached the drunk guy he started rummaging through his pockets and stuff until he came across his wallet and started shaking it until some coins came out satisfied with todays finding he put the wallet back in the guys pocket and climbed back up the walls to it’s hideouts.

She would need to ask Jerry what she just saw in which she yet to find however thankfully the station personnel was glad to put signs up and one of them pointing in the direction to where the reception area was located.

[Janpia]

Alyana takes a sigh of relief, as her geiger meter indicates its safe. Once she enters behind the gates, she stares in a bit of amazement. She quickly make a small map sketch from her bag, adding

"The only place filled with life within desolation"

Noting its safe, she returns her gun towards her back, and equips a small knife beneath her coat. However, seeing a monster-ish creature going down the walls, she prepares her hand to grab the rifle, just incase. Though she takes a second thought, assuming that the creature could just be an ordinary human, just like the guard she earlier seen at the junkyard. Though in the best case, she'd rather leave it alone. She wonders around, looking for any supplies, or pistols for sale. Though of course, she head towards the signs indicating the reception room to look for Jerry first. Information first, window shopping second. She also kept a close watch on her rifle, watching if there's anyone trying to sneakily steal someting from her.

The place was indeed the only place filled with life in place filled with death, no morals, or considerations for one and another. Albeit while it is filled with people in some areas have fallen into disrepair the concrete cracking and falling apart electricians work days in and days out to keep the electrical systems and power from frying and going out and repair teams work tirelessly to keep the place in top top shape.

Alyana have to carefully navigate the place ducking under and moving through scaffolding’s, making sure nothing falls and hit her in the head due to construction working overhead and not tripping over large rats.

After avoiding all this obstacles she managed to reach to a steel door with the sign that says Reception Area pulling down the lever she opened the door and saw what appears to be a small bunker there was 3 lockers on the left side of the room propped up against the wall and a metal box on the right on the ground in front of her was what appears to be some type of robot sitting behind a table that was closed off and typing away at his computer that look it came from the 80 the robot looking thing doesn’t realize that someone entered as he was too preoccupied on his computer.

Alyana looks around, closely watching above her for any signs of danger ir rockfall. After entering the metal doors, she takes a quick note of the 3 lockers and the metal box, though she considers it rude to randomly check stuff, especially when there's a robot right infront of her. She walks near the robot, trying to look over the computer it is working on. She then tries to communicate with it

"Umm hello, I am looking for a man named Jerry. People told me he should be in the reception room"

The robot looked away from his computer to look at Alyana but was still typing "Looking for a guy named Jerry well go back where you went and take a left until you see some stairs that will lead to lower levels of this bunker he might be there Nah I'm kidding you're looking at him right now it is I the man the myth and one of the few legends that hadn't died or turned Jerry the Superdroid I have been here before Day 0 and during my time as a scav I journeyed to every corner of the Junkyard before it even got it nickname I have seen legends come and go, various stories being passed around the campfire and empire that came and fall I know more about this place than anyone here" the Superdroid said in excitement "now what brings you to the logistic department I know you may be wondering why they call it the Reception Area well its because I know a lot more than anyone and second you may be wondering whats a legendary Scav doing here well to keep it short I have nothing to explore like I said I been to every place above ground to underground and to the Far lands I have seen everything"
