The caravan makes its' way past the bodies left over from a battle. A few dozen Tolkeen dead lay scattered about a field with plasma burns and other Coalition trademark chaos. Most of the bodies are partially eaten by whatever scavengers Cannon Fodder had mentioned over the radio. It is a gruesome sight...

Fortunately it was a 60 foot adarok at point, for if it had been others, the scavengers may have attacked instead of flee...

Pluto Company arrives at Mad Town on schedule without any further incident. 4th platoon is spotted in small groups of 3 patrolling the perimiter.

Inside the town Captain Shira is standing among a few other members of 4th Platoon and several otehr well-dressed individuals - likely the leadership of the town - along with a grackle tooth and a handful of gunfighters and other combatants - likely the local law enforcement.

After a runner from 4th Platoon leads him to Captain Shira, Zor is prepared to meet the town’s leaders and give them some bad news…

“Mad Town is now under the authority of Tolkeen military, all towns people are to stay within the limits of the observation posts my people are setting up as we speak. Farmers will be allowed to stay on their farms.”

“Anyone caught attempting to leave Madtown without good reason will be detained for the duration of our stay. My troops have orders to protect themselves if attacked or those wo resist being detained, and use deadly force if need be.”

Zor then waited for the ‘ball to drop’, so to speak as he just formally placed Madtown under martial law.

The mayor stands stall with his hands in his pockets. He looks to his companions before responding to the Major "Surely we can discuss these matters in a more private location Major...? Come let us chat at my building."

if all parties are willing Bartaine will lead the officers of Pluto Company to Town Hall for a meeting along with the Sherrif and a few others from Madtown.

The rest of the company is left to map the town, and begin a defense strategy.

Zor simply nods his head in reply to the mayor, having a feeling that he probably didn’t like his last statement. With that he follows the Mayor, and makes an announcement on the radio.

~Go ahead Photios"~

~“I want all officers to meet me at the town hall.”~

Obidiah stops digging and climbs up out of the large hole he has made. The large golem looks as if he should be a lumbering behemoth but he moves in a surprisingly swift and agile despite his great bulk. After arriving at the church he stands back trying to remain unobtrusive.

Callie lands with barely a wobble, she seems to be getting the hang of her new armor.  It's not, and can't ever be, Bernie but there'd be plenty of time to find a proper replacement for that old light robot once the war was over.  "Besides," she says, not really aware she's speaking out loud, "there should be lots of good CS tech laying around once we kick their tails from here to Chi-Town."

Cannon Fodder lumbers over towards the church and finds a space he can stand in while being out of the way, well as out of the way something his size can be.

Lord Osema with the rest of the "crew" in tow saunters over towards the church. Spying a smattering of townsfolk huddled together watching the gathering he turns abruptly on them and exposes his battered and swollen genitalia. He makes lewd gestures and comments as they disperse. Stepping up to the front of the church he mimicks the sign of the cross and then urinates all over the front doors.

The Adarok watches the brodkil... "Disgusting"

As Osema passes the townsfolk gathered one group of them, perhaps 20 to 30 of them are obviously hardened, confidant people, armed like soldiers. At their lead is the Sheriff. He stands at eye level to Osema, while chewing on some sort of oversized meat jerky. To the sheriffs' right, stands Lord Renford - now suited up in his Tolkeen-colored suit of Lord Magus Armour. To his left is a muscular mutant cat, likely from the labs of the Coalition. The Cat Woman radiates power and intimidation just in her stance and stare. Definitely an impressive, although small number of militia soldiers.

"You put that shit away boy, else I'll blow it off."

The Captain leads 4th platoon to the church, then walks up the church steps to stand at the majors' side while the rest of the company come in.
