From the Brotherhood
To Ocala

While we understand that it is not in our position to interfere with local politics, we feel alarmed that you are willing to trust these heathens again simply over the promise of...some chunks of beeping metals. Heck, even we have only recently managed to find some of these...techs... that you speak of in our wanderings through the wasteland. We have precious few of these things, but you may take one from us.

Do not trust the Vanguards. You have not seen the destruction that they have caused-but we have.

Let me guess: somebody stole your sweetroll?

The Conch Thalassocracy of the Keys: Grandkhan
Leader: High Doge-President Santiago Ruiz (Charismatic)
Faction Trait: Expansionist
Capital: Duck Key, FL (Pre-War Community)
Structures: Farming Equipment, Water Pump/Purifier
Population: 510
Slaves: 0
Education: Oral
Food: 1,320 (+800)
Water: 585 (+800)
Energy: 0 (+0)
Tech Parts: 5
Scrap Parts: 650
Ammunition: 2,650
Military Equipment: 110 1-H Guns, 45 2-H Guns, 10 Heavy Weapons, 4 Canoes, 1 Small Boat
Robots: None
Military Skill: 7

Construction Instructions:
-500 Scrap, 5 Tech parts into 1 Ammunition Converter. Not gonna run out of ammo again!
-100 Scrap into 2 canoes.

Orders:
40 people armed with 25 1-H guns and 15 2-H guns, in 4 canoes, are to sail east to Fiesta Key, bypassing the mirelurk infested Long Key and attempt to salvage there. After easy salvage is gone, they are to then move east to Lower Matacumbe Key, and repeat the process if they still have space on the canoes. After this is done, they are to move east to Upper Matacumbe key, and once again repeat the process. If they encounter danger at any point, they are to return home with whatever they have salvaged.

Another 20 people, armed with 12 1-H Guns, 6 2-H Guns, and 2 Heavy Weapons mounted on the boat itself, on a crew entirely composed of dedicated 100% Santiago Ruiz loyalists, are to take the 1 Small Boat and sail north, across the Sea if a small boat can do it or hugging the coast of the Keys first till they reach the mainland if necessary, are to travel west along the southern coast and then north along western coast of the mainland in search of the Vault and civilization. If they encounter hostiles, they are to flee immediately and continue their mission. They are to undertake no risk except for initiating contact with groups of humans, and even then, they are to be as careful as they possibly can, withdrawing at the sight of danger. Their prime mission is to explore the coast and, if they find friendly civilization or civilizations, return safely back to Duck Key with the information. This is some oddessey level stuff, I know, but it must be done. If friendly contact is made, the explorers are to exchange everything they know with those they make contact with, and attempt to gain as much knowledge and geographical information as they can, and open up trade relations with the newfound cities.

The thieiving child is to be punished as the law of Duck Key requires, but afterwards guards are placed, at Ruiz' personal expense, around his stockpile. They are to be extremely stern in ensuring that nobody steals again.

I fully expect an epic written from this, in verse, chronicling the semi-mythical encounters these explorers, and especially the brave captain encounter. From stealing a dragon egg in the jungle-ruins of old miami and raising it to be a loyal companion, to escaping the clutches of the Demon-Seductress of whitewater bay, to stealing the enchanted power armor of the Warlord of the Empire of the Broken Knife, to seducing the Queen of Naples.

Hello, here's an application for a new player for consideration. Just hoping I didn't miss anything important:

Faction Name: Survivalist Union
Leader Name: Head(wo)man Julie Keyes
Leader Trait: Charismatic
Starting Location: East of Port St. Lucie
Leader Background: Born around 2210 somewhere in east-central Florida, Julie ran with a small gang for many years, choosing her surname off of an old movie poster. Around age 20 she developed a certain ideological bent, and set about trying to unite the survivors, raiders and tribals of the area under common cause; namely, that of mutual cooperation towards a structures less, benevolent society. With the beginning of radiobroadcasts about three years ago, she has also adopted a pro-wastelander stance opposed to “vault-babies”, “bunker-bastards” and “Old World Blues”.
Origins: Survivors
Traits: Defensive
Capital Type: Pre-War Community
Background: “Some men are born to greatness. Other have it trust upon them. Having the biggest gang around helps” –Julie Keyes, 2243
A collection of settlers from small villages, small-time raiders tired of the life, and tribals interested in a new lifestyle, the Survivalist Union has only just formed under the leadership of Julie Keyes, building the new settlement of Liberty City in the old suburbs east of Port St. Lucie over recent months. Partially as a result of the… varied natures of the new citizens, the Union possess definite laws for the most important of issues, and chem use, slavery and even cannibalism are common, although conditioning and careful laws (once summarized as "waiting in the background until trouble, then hitting it with a big stick") help keep everything working.

Overseer's Challenge:

* Bring the heroes of the Battle of the Trail into the vault -- question them closely to get psych profiles and, by closely questioning other ex-slaves about them, identify the less desirable members/ones with harmful intentions. Keep the less desirable ones in the unused wing; move the rest into residences in the main Vault.

Orders:

* Now that Naples is clear of gang influence, begin salvage of the city in force. A force of 170 people (armed with 10 Heavy Weapons, 60 2-H Guns, 100 1-H Guns) and 1 Mr. Handy move in, liberate the remaining slaves, and begin returning scrap and tech parts to the vault. If possible, scout the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University and Southwest Florida International Airport; however, those may be a bit far for a single expedition.

* It's a long shot, but send 1 Canoe (5 People, 5 1-H Guns) north along the Gulf Coast to investigate the Tampa detonation.

Inter-Faction Reports

BATTLE OF CONGRESS CITY. A new war has come to the Sunshine Wasteland. According to Radio Socialism broadcasts, they fell under attack, and immediately relayed news as the unnamed enemy infiltrated the city. The attack apparently began at night as a series of explosions were reported throughout the town, and chaos ensued. In the chaotic invasion, the enemy had somehow bypassed the walls of the community and the fighting became hand to hand, with only limited amounts of firearms being used. The last report from Radio Socialism was that the radio tower had been directly attacked and that sword wielding soldiers had infiltrated the building. Sounds of a struggle were heard by the listeners across the wasteland before all went silent for about an hour. A new voice spoke over the radio, proclaiming that the Congress City of sin had been purged of its corruption and that God once more reigned over its people. They announced that further struggle had stopped and that the heart of the Vanguards had fallen. No other broadcasts emerged from Radio Socialism, as all went quiet.

Faction Reports

Atomic Foxes

Spoiler :

The Atomic Foxes situation has stabilized at last. Unfortunately, Commander Mila Quinn sustained a venomous sting from a local mutated insect. It was not realized until too late the scale of the damage inflicted by the creature. The time came to find a successor, and the Foxes were uncertain who the dying commander would select. There were only two passable candidates. One was an enigmatic new immigrant who had already shown himself to be a great asset to the community, though he is still not completely trusted. The other was the son of Commander Quinn, who took after his mothers fearsome nature. To no ones surprise, the late commander selected her son, Colt Quinn to carry on the leadership of the Atomic Foxes.

The Atomic Foxes main undertaking for the year, beyond some preparations for immigration in Lake Park, was a major scouting expedition down I-75. They took care to investigate any known pre-war towns or urban centers along the route, though much of the elevated highway went through barren wilderness and forests. The first stopover was around Jennings, Florida, which they found to be occupied by a particularly ruthless and large group of cannibalistic raiders calling themselves the Hamiltons. They found themselves engaged in a major firefight with the raiders, leading to a large number of deaths among the scouting party, though they eventually managed to rout their attackers. The next part of their journey was lengthy and tedious, scouting down I-75 with only the strange noises coming out of the seemingly endless forests to keep them company. Thankfully, the somewhat elevated route prevented any unfortunate interactions with large amounts of wildlife. When they exited the woods, they encountered yet another hostile force, calling themselves the Scourge. The remaining expedition members encountered a small patrol of these raiders, but easily wiped them out. The patrols evaded, the expedition continued down I-75 to High Springs, which they found to be empty of any real threat, and even found a stash of tech parts for return to the base. The expedition came to an abrupt end at Alachua, where they encountered beasts the likes of which they had never seen. Giant creatures with enormous claws, gaining them the appropriate moniker of deathclaws, tore through power armor like it wasnt there and quickly wiped out half of the remaining group. According to the survivors, laser blasts only seemed to annoy them. As the deathclaws had thoroughly infested the nearby stretch of I-75, and were firmly entrenched in Alachua itself, the five remaining Foxes determined that it would be a good time to return home. Thankfully, they managed to get home without any further unfortunate incidents.

Commanders Challenge: The Hamiltons have tracked us back to Lake Park! They are coming in full force and appear to be determined to have us for dinner! Some of our people are frantic and calling for a retreat into the bunker. Others have stated that we should hold our ground and defeat these attackers, calling for aid from Lakeshire. If we flee to our bunker, we may survive the crisis, and the Hamiltons may even bypass our settlement at Lake Park, but its entirely possible theyll move against Lakeshire or Hahira in the process. How do we respond?

Children of the Rapture

Spoiler :

The Children have had a number of developments on the home front and abroad. On the home front, the Reverend left for a few days and returned with a group of brahmin hauling a truly mind-boggling amount of tech parts. Shortly after, a number of rules were established by the community for the entry of any potential migrants. Immigrants will now undergo a three month indoctrination class and baptism before they will be allowed to join the community. To enter the camp they must surrender everything they own to the community. The immigrants will be taught the true words of the Bible and its infallibility. Only those who are clean of evils such as the gay and who have fully accepted the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and God will be allowed into the community. As a final test of their faith, those who make it through the camp will prove their righteousness and devotion to the church by executing those unclean who are screened out over the duration of the camp.

The community further sent out a number of small scouting expeditions to learn about the area surrounding their cave system. The first expedition went to the neighboring town of Mariana, which they found to be the heart of a thriving community with fertile lands and prosperous growth. They have amicably welcomed the scouts, but have forbid them from salvaging any scrap or tech from within the city limits. The airport, which was in the other direction was also scouted and salvaged to an extent, though they found it to be populated by a number of smaller monsters and creatures which proved hostile. The area there was found to be equally fertile to the rest of the town for farming. The expedition further travelled north to Greenwood, which they found to be almost worthless for farming, but full of tech parts. The expedition thus returned in triumphant success. The third expedition went out towards west into the numerous old forests and preserves in the area. They found that the forests were slightly arable, though not even as close to fertile as the region immediately around Mariana. Thankfully, there were only a small amount of monsters in the region, mostly nests of radroaches and molerats.

Reverends Challenge: The discovery of a prosperous community which does not know the true word of god has shaken the faith of our people. Mariana consists of heathens and unbelievers, and this has caused some concern. Some of our people advocate open hostility and raiders upon the community, seeking to diminish their obvious military advantage. Others suggest a more subtle approach to developing the Faith among Mariana. Still others recommend leaving the town alone, while our eventual growth and greatness under Gods watch will speak for itself. How do we respond to this debate?

The Conch Thalassocracy of the Keys

Spoiler :

The Thalassocracy has developed some surprising security after the difficult few years they have passed through. When the raiders came from the south once again, they were repulsed by ample heavy weapons fire, and only a few people were lost, while numerous raider ships were sent to the bottom of the sea. Also on the home front, a new ammo convertor was constructed so that the people of the Thalassocracy will never again run short on ammunition. Some issue was had with the allegedly harsh treatment and imprisonment of a child who had been caught stealing from the Doge-President, but the dissent at this action has been kept to murmurs at worst. An expedition of canoes was sent to the east to salvage Fiesta Key, and they had tremendous success, recovering a large number of rifles from an abandoned gun store. A little bit of ammunition had to be expended to keep attacks from the nearby mirelurks at bay, but it was widely agreed that the cost was worth it when the expedition returned home.

In what many called an odyssey of unknown proportions, the Thalassocracys sole surviving boat went to the north, its five month mission: to explore strange new lands, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where resident of Duck Key has gone before. They crossed the Rabbit Key Basin, and spent their journey headed north along the western coast of the Floridian Peninsula. To their surprise, they found the old vessel that had been seized by mutineers a couple of years ago, completely intact, though lacking any fuel, and with no signs of the crew or their supplies. It was beached in the swamp, and partially overgrown with local flora. The ship was seized and equipped, allowing them to haul a better amount of scrap throughout their journey. This proved to be the first stop of numerous ones, as they sought to explore the western coast in a grand expedition, though no real sign of humanity was detected until they reached Marcos Island. This island, once a resort town, was found to be empty of friendly life, but filled to the brim with mirelurks, causing the expedition to carry on a bit further. They next reached the ruins of Naples, which they found to be empty of any significant life, though a few ghouls were seen scurrying about. An extended shore party made contact with some vault dwellers who stated they came from Vault 40 somewhere in the Everglades. A friendly exchange was had before the islanders returned to their ships after conducting some further exploration. They found another massive pre-war military stockpile of ammunition, and found that there was too much to return home with them. They turned over half to the vault dwellers, and brought the rest on board.

They next traveled to the Fort Myers and Cape Coral area, looking through the two conjoined towns for any sign of life. Cape Coral proved to be empty except for the radroaches, with no sign of any human habitation. Fort Myers seemed to be the same sort of scenario, with very little movement in the ruins. They next entered into Charlotte Harbor, exploring the ruins alongside the bay. Punta Gorda was clearly dominated by the local mirelurk population, and the crews of the ships kept a wide berth away from them. Port Charlotte was found to have a smaller mirelurk population, and the crew was able to make a more thorough exploration on foot of the ruins, finding not much in the interior.

The expedition continued up the coast, to the town of Englewood, and similarly to other locations, the area was vacant of any significant hostile life. They carried on to Venice, which they found to be walled off, but friendly, giving them greetings and stating that they are the first representatives of another civilized town that theyve encountered. A feast was put on the table, and the Venetians welcomed the travelers, giving them a safe harbor and a much needed respite. In exchange for some ammunition, they gave the travelers some supplies, and even a few tech parts they had in storage. They found a less friendly welcome at Siesta Key, a fortified island compound of raiders calling themselves the Corsairs. They pursued the vessels for a time, until heavy weapons fire and the sinking of a few of their canoes led to a hasty retreat. The expedition continued into Sarasota Bay, where they found the town of Sarasota to be mostly empty. They found a handful of tech parts to return to the ships, but not much more. The nearby town of Longboat Key was populated by a small amount of mirelurks, encouraging the expedition to push on to the much larger Tampa Bay area.

The expedition made landfall in the ruins of St. Petersburg, finding a group calling themselves the Saint Vikings, apparently the source of some recent sports broadcasting. Friendly greetings were exchanged, as the ships carried on with their mission. They found the Tampa area, rather than being clogged with ruins like the rest of the world, were a verdant land full of varied fruits and vegetables, a true Garden of Eden. A landing party reported the same throughout the entire area that used to be Tampa. The last stop of the expedition proved to be Apollo Beach, and there they found the familiar ruin of the pre-war world, accompanied by a good amount of mirelurks. The expedition continued to travel north after Tampa, but found little beyond wooded interiors and various types of monsters. By the time they reached Apalachee Bay, they determined to turn around and set a course for home, arriving just a few days before Christmas to much celebration.

High Doge-Presidents Challenge: Our voyage was a definite success, but since the return of our heroes, theres been an outbreak of disease among our people. Some are quite concerned about this outbreak and are unsure on how to proceed. One suggestion is that a quarantine be enacted over the infected, but others have suggested a more purifying approach, burning equipment and food and water brought back by the late expedition. How do we respond to the outbreak?

Monastic Brotherhood of Poor-Fellows and Crusader Knights

Spoiler :

The Monastic Brotherhood concluded this year with a great triumph over the enemies of God. After placing spies among the Vanguards over the past year, the Brotherhood was able to pave the way for a tremendous victory. The spies, having become trusted members of the community, were able to set up a signal system for the Brotherhoods army, notifying them when a large expedition left, leaving Congress City less ably defended. The spies, using their positions managed to accomplish two key goals, destroying the ammunition dump and convertor within the city, and opening the main gates for the attacking army. Though the spies themselves were killed, and the Vanguards managed to reclaim the gates, the fighting became solely hand to hand. While the Brotherhood had advantage of the numbers, the Vanguards fought ferociously for their city. Eventually though, the Brotherhood had the remaining Vanguards trapped and they surrendered, becoming servants as penance for their deviance from Gods light. The Brotherhood then established control, setting up a new watch and guards for their new holding in the Sunshine Wasteland. The Vanguards live on, however, and the Brotherhood remains vigilant against the possibility of a counter-attack. In Ocala, the Vanguard embassy has used the reports from the battle, to turn the tide of public favor against the Brotherhood, though they remain neutral in the conflict. Combined with an expedition to Citra which recovered the bodies of those from Ocala who had gone there, the Vanguards have managed to appear much more sympathetic to the public in that town.

The more aggressive have suggested a direct assault on the city with overwhelming numbers and weaponry. Others have suggested an ultimatum or more diplomatic methods, but there are concerns that such a means would put their defenses up against us. The more passive of our society claim instead that we should allow Ocala their neutrality and give them time to come to God naturally. How do we respond?

New Gulf Commonwealth

Spoiler :

The New Gulf Commonwealth launched a major campaign to begin to find new lands for settlement, along with substantial salvage efforts. The first expedition was sent to Tavares, to clear out the local giant ants, and for the most part they succeeded. Though a number of giant ants remain in the area, they appear to be workers only, and the soldiers and queen are destroyed. Salvage in the area was fairly minimal, and the expedition ascertained that much like Leesburg, the area was only good for the slimmest amount of farming. A second expedition went much further east through woods and forests to the ruins of Deland. There they found the soil to be also just barely usable for farming, while the town itself was full of a number of hostile monsters. They recovered what they could in terms of easy scrap and returned home. The last expedition was sent to the small town of Wildwood, where they ran into a number of nasty predators, that inflicted some damage on the group. They fought off the attacks and did what salvaging was possible, but at this point nothing significant of value remains in that ruined town. On the positive side, tests showed the area to be moderately well suited to farming, certainly better than other areas scouted.

Vanguards

Spoiler :

The Vanguards have faced enormous devastation and the risk of the loss of the whole revolution. After the murder of Comrade Oscar, new elections were held, and the voting resulted in the election of the Disc Jockey, Kimberly as the new Chairman of the Vanguards. Unfortunately the jubilation from the elections was short-lived, as an expedition was sent out to Citra to recover the bodies of those lost in the previous trading expedition with Ocala. This expedition was actually a major success under the parameters they were given, making their way to the ruins, and vaporizing a good deal of giant mosquitos in the process. They further managed to recover the bodies and weaponry of those who had died in the failed trade with Ocala, and brought the Ocalan corpses back to their home for burial. This friendly gift helped restore some faith between Ocala and the Vanguards, as a new embassy was created. Unfortunately, the whole affair was made minor after the sounds of battle were broadcast from Radio Socialism. The expedition went to the Gainesville Bunker first to secure it against attack, where they heard the final report from the few survivors who arrived, including Comrade Kimberly.

Apparently the attack began when treacherous Monastic Brotherhood spies detonated an explosive within the Vanguard ammunition dump, destroying the convertor, forge, and most of the town’s ammunition stockpile. It was revealed that these spies had infiltrated the town as immigrants and become trusted guards and friends. Other spies blew up other buildings, but none were essential to the community’s defense. Dozens were killed in these initial attacks, but the spies fell themselves to retribution. Unfortunately, this was not enough, as the surviving spies opened the town gates, allowing a massive enemy force to gain entry and attack. With only the slimmest amount ammunition for the town’s firearms quickly expended, the fighting became hand to hand. Badly outnumbered, the Vanguard garrison was eventually defeated and the few survivors were forced to surrender into Brotherhood slavery. The handful that escaped the disaster made their way to the bunker, as the Vanguards regroup from this major defeat, all other plans put aside in the wake of catastrophe.

They command powerful loyalty from our best fighters, and there could be a risk of mutiny should we reject their demands for Kimberly to step down. How do we respond?

Maritime Collective
Aerwyna is the descendants from a family who members were part of the Navy when they took part in the war to push the Chinese out of Alaska. Ever since the Battle of Anchorage, Beckett family were honored as heroes for achieving great feats of valor and their amazing leaderships skills. It wasn't long before everyone in Pensacola knew of the Becketts and Aerwyna’s great-great grandfather was elected Mayor of Pensacola. After the nuclear missiles were launched and destroyed most of the United States the people of Pensacola needed guidance more than ever and the Beckett family rose to the occasion. Since the Great War she and her family have been the figureheads leading the Maritime Collective. Besides Aerwyan, her two brothers Taylor and Daniel Beckett lend their hands in assistance. The Maritime Collective are mostly survivors of the now ruined city who under Aerwyna and her family’s previous guidance continue to survive. Aerwyna and her brother have helped the community out when doing salvage runs since Aerwya has a good eye for finnding things.

@thomas.berubeg, it doesn’t make too much of a difference, but it should be noted that your route took you directly through some of the most developed parts of Orlando, hardly avoiding it at all.

@Lord_herobrine: I’m assuming no cost for the football field or memorial at this time.

For what it's worth, I'd assumed they were going to take Route 429 to go around.

The urban sprawl of Orlando is to the point where you'd pretty much have to go all the way down to Lakeland to avoid it (and attached theme parks).

We have plenty of tech parts to sell, would you be interested in buying some for ammunition?
