Detroit Suck City: Episode 4


As the crew recovers from their latest adventures on the tracks as some of them are still picking crab meat out of their hair they notice a naked male that is covered in gore standing out away from the tracks just staying at the crew. This naked guy has a symbol of the Masters of Clean tattooed on his chest. It is decided by the crew that Wilhelm will make contact as he is human looking and during the contact the naked male appears confused and does not know how he got to where he is. After some talking and time the naked male introduces himself as Huey and acts very put off by being surrounded by mutants. It is decided that Huey is alright and can come along. The crew then help Huey forage for some clothes and gear from the various piles of dead bodies.

The crew cautiously works their way farther down the tracks and they come across an odd yellow heavily armored train car that has the letters T O Y O T A on the side. This rail vehicle has a large gun on the top and looks like it was meant to be some type of tank. Wilhelm and the rest of the crew crawl inside and Wilhelm is able to figure out how it works. There is a two sided hand crank in the middle and with a little muscle power it should be able to move. After Wilhelm explains how it "drives" to everyone else Wilhelm climbs to the top of the tank and works on figuring out how the gun works. It does not take Wilhelm long before unleashing a burst of automatic fire that gives everyone a good scare and sends the crew into battle positions. 


Before the crew leaves the area in their newly acquired Velotank they decide to explore the very last train car in this section of the tracks. Lladmar stands guard as Huey enters the car to investigate (the rest of the crew remains close to the Velotank on high alert). As Huey enters the train car he finds another pile of dead bodies and as Huey take a closer look he is ambushed as he feels something wrap around his waist and teeth dig into his shoulder. Lladmar hears Huey's yelp of pain and decides do jam is assault rifle into one of the holes of the train car and open fire. Luckily Lladmar's bullets do not hit Huey but also appear to miss or be un-effective against whatever is trying to eat Huey.

As the rest of the crew notices the chaos Huey appears outside of the car and then Wilhelm yells to everyone to get down as he unleashes the power of the tanks gun into the rail car. The bullets quickly turn said rail car into Swiss cheese. As the dust settles the crew notices two very large snake like creatures flying off into the trees. Whatever they were, they did not like the situation they found themselves in and decides to retreat. 


The crew loads up in the tank and travels down the tracks and as the afternoon wears on the crew decides to take a break and deal with with their injuries as they take log of their gear. During this "relaxed" time Huey shares that his people and the Black Star children have been at war for sometime and he was actually a victim of their experiments just like Wilhelm - that might explain the giant eye on the back of Huey's head and his ability to teleport or so it seems.

After this rest, the crew moves farther down the tracks towards the industrial complex on the horizon with Auron and Lladmar at the crank, Wilhelm and Huey on lookout with Wilhelm using his binoculars to scan on ahead. Up ahead Wilhelm notices a group of carcasses and orders them stop as the crew gets closer.

Upon stopping it is evident that these carcasses are Po Dogs and they have been slaughtered for the sake of being killed - these Po Dogs appear to be torn apart. Blood and signs of struggle are everywhere in addition to oddly burnt surrounding vegetation. Auron, Wilhelm, and Lladmar exit the and investigate the scene further. During that time, Wilhelm notices some movement and hears mewling sound. Wilhelm quickly hands off his weapon to Auron and under one of the carcasses he finds a surviing Po Dog pup, cradles it to his chest, and starts walking back to the tank. Once everyone is inside and the crew is moving again Wilhelm explains how he used to raise Po Dogs and that he is going to take care of this one. No one in the crew objects as they roll closer to the industrial complex.

Once the crew enters the complex they remain on high alert scanning for any signs of an ambush or other forms of hostility. Everyone agrees it is not wise to stop here and as the tank passes under the cement underpass on the far side of the complex they notice countless spikes with heads adorning each on. Each of these heads appears to be bald with gold ear rings and Auron looks over to Huey and states, "I think we found your friends...".


It is just another day in Detroit Suck City...

  3. The Gamma World game is delivering the best it has got; post-apocalyptical weirdness! It is a deadly land.
