ON

[Camp to Bushes]

Mojo slipped quietly into the shadows, it took a long time but he looked at it as if he were going to catch his next meal. He just hoped that the men who were shooting arrows wouldn't get lucky and kill someone. He crept around people, buildings and finally into the tall grass. He hoped that the had guessed correctly and that he was coming up one side of the men or better yet behind them. Mojo paused, waited and listened. If nothing else he could help distract them while others charged and apprehended them.

[Outside the compound]

Sam sent the word through the chain of command she'd set up and organized everyone to take as much food and supplies as possible and evacuate the camp.

Since there was nothing to the South except the ocean, she chose to go North.

She found Damon, grabbed what she could and headed for the rendezvous point.

Gaia was none too happy about leaving behind the big pot that she had been using to cook all their meals in. She had a woven basket on her back with a few smaller pots and stored food items. She met with the others that gathered. A simple person, in the throng of others. She looked around to find someone to walk with so they could talk as they traveled.

Sterling packed up his things along with the others. He knew he had a past, that they all had a pass and he was tired of not remembering who and what he was. If this trip would help them all remember, he was for it 100%.

Tom Bosley had a small pack mostly filled with small rocks. He'd been practicing with a crude sling for defense and was eager to put it to use. "I want to go back and kill those fermigaters. There's only a handful of them. Anyone want to help?"

Sterling looked over at him a strange looking smile coming to his face. "Sure, I'll go. Let me get my bow."

Helga walked up with several men behind her carrying her large tub filled with what supplies she had. "They are in the building to the South of my hospital. At least some of them are. There is a good deal of banging going on in there."

She indicated that the men could put her tub of supplies with the other items being gathered for evacuation. "Just be careful."

Kara walked up to the men. "Count me in," she said. "They killed four good people for no reason at all."

"I think we should take the initative and the sooner the better." Sterling said.

Sam nodded to Cam. "Take whomever you need. I'll take the rest away from here. Just be careful."

Maria joined the group carrying several staves. "I want to help."

"I will set up a relief station a short ways from here, where I will be out of range of the fighting but can help anyone who gets injured," Helga announced. "Half the supplies can go with you, I'll keep half with me."

Sam nodded. "Good. Be careful."

[Bushes]

Mojo sat still, he readied one of his thin poisoned slivers of wooden needles that he put in his blowpipe and took aim at the nearest man. If he hit it would feel like a insect bite.

Kastner was busy getting what he could around the camp remains, mostly things like long branches and some kind of vine; if done right could be a good stretcher for the wounded or with some bedding over it put gear on and move it as they need? They were quick to make and effective; he could get the supplies loaded and people to move the wounded or heft the gear with them?

Gaia walked up to Kastner "Excuse me, do you think you could bring that huge pot out of the cooking building. I am unable to move it."

"I can get a couple of guys to fetch it." kastner said. "Hard to have goot Food if no pot to cook in." He joked and moved ot find two people.

After a few minutes Gaia shrugged and hoped that he would be able to get it, if not well they would have to do with out it. She headed back to the group and look around once more for someone to walk and talk with.

Kastner came back along side the Woman known as Gaia. "The men Jake and Berry will see that your pot is safely moved."

"Okay, let's divide up," Sam said. "The sooner we get out of range, the safer we'll be." She turned to Cam and Alexandria. "Be careful. We'll go a few hours out and set up camp. If there's enough of it left, we'll return to the compound. If not, join us and we'll move farther North."

She signaled to the group leaders and headed up the almost-imperceptible path towards the mountains.
