Bacon Scrap Sanctuary Recon

Having saved the trumpet-playing #5 and escaped the massing hoard of Casualties, the crew continues on their way towards Bacon Scrap Sanctuary. Once in the general vicinity, you find a good spot to camp for the rest of the evening which passes without incident.

At first light, you check your equipment, eat up and prep for whatever may be awaiting you at the Sanctuary.

Bacon's Scrap Sanctuary is a complex that is over 30,000 square feet. The entire Sanctuary is surrounded by an impressive multicolor wall that consists of sheets fashioned from recycled car metal and welded together. The majority of that interior area is the yard which is covered by row upon row of car chassis of every make and model in varying states of rust and upkeep. Many of the chassis have been converted into housing. There is also a large warehouse and a smaller office building on the premises. Over the main gate, a large sign identifies the place as Bacon's Foreign Car Parts. That sign along with the main gate and a good portion of the wall around it have been knocked over and appear to have been trampled by hundreds of feet. Mud and dirt have formed a wide and unmistakable path that leads from across the road and into Bacon's Scrap Sanctuary. It has clearly fallen prey to a Casualty stampede. There do not appear to be any Casualties at least in the area surrounding the gate or anyone else for that matter.

Claire kneels down to pet Teddy, "Seems a little too quiet, if you ask me."

Agreed. Want me to scout ahead?

She adjusts her cap, "If you want to do the initial poke around, I'll keep an eye out."

I'll cover you. Ham-Bone positions himself so he has clear field of fire in case Run gets into trouble.

Tightening his helmet, bat over his shoulder, Run starts to cautiously follow the dirt path and over the remains of the gate, looking around as he goes.

Claire quickly scans the area, but the only thing she notices is a butterfly that landed on Theo's head. He's so adorable!

Loan Shark picks around the debris around the broken wall and finds 3 Bounty. In addition to the Bounty, he notices scorch marks on a section of the wall and a couple of pieces of what looks to be the remains of an improvised explosive device.

I hit ID gold over here. Also looks like someone blew up some of the wall...

"Nice, drinks on you later." Claire says while sticking to the shadows.

Jus' lookin' around

Once past the wall, the dirt path begins to fan out and disperse in every direction. The soil's color changes from a uniform brown to a mottled, rusty, red-brown. Your feet squish into the soil as it becomes softer and more moist. Littered all around are the remnants of a massacre -- severed limbs and half-eaten torsos pepper the landscape. The farther in you get, the stronger the sickening smell of rot and death that permeates the area becomes.

About 300 ft from the wall, you can see the smaller office building. The walls are covered in dirty, bloody hand prints and claw marks. The door has been ripped off its hinges and lies on the ground among at least a dozen corpses.

The larger warehouse is farther away and you cannot see it's entrance from your vantage point.

The only sound of note comes from within, or perhaps behind, the office building. It is a human voice speaking loudly, but it is muffled and distant enough that you can't make out any of the words.

Oh, the humanity
