“Boost your power first. Then go back for the loot. It’ll still be there.”
“Right now, it’s just the Undead, which is manageable. But once the Mutants wake up from hibernation, you’re dead ranked up.”

“We wouldn’t dream of getting in your way, Chief. We’re just hoping that when you’ve got a free minute, you could swing by our place. could just toss the supplies we’ve gathered into your Space and help us haul them back.”
“Of course, we won’t let Chief Quinn do all that heavy lifting for nothing. You’ll get your cut.”
“We’ll stick to the same split we agreed on. Sound good?”
Josie smiled. “Deal. Let’s do it.”

The recent refugee mess hadn’t left much of a mark on the base. With the weather warming up, people were finally crawling out of their holes The impatient ones were already heading back to their old places, scrubbing floors and airing things out. They were desperate to ditch the underground life.
