Erie Retreat: The Scouts

At the early foggy morning hours at Holliday's secluded retreat in Erie, a small group of soldiers wander around the woods that surround the Doc's cabin, apparently lost.

They wear an assortment of military gear, mixing old and new with varying quality and precedence. For defense, they use obsolete, but still lethal, kinetic rifles. The long red scarfs around their necks indicate allegiance to one of the multiple militia cells spread across Erie.

Doc eventually stumbles upon the scouts after tracking them for a while on one of the trails. With his rifle ready, he takes a cautious approach. The group nod to each other after spotting Doc, and they rest their weapons. The team leader approaches Doc Holliday after confirming his identity. "We weren't shot dead - so it must be him!"

“

Doc Holliday! At least, you match his description. My name's Fang, those are Fish, Plank and Roach, my mates. We've been tracking your location for days, our intel says your place is around those coordinates. Sorry for coming unannounced, we have suspicions that Liberty is intercepting our communications.

Look, we are here to ask for your help. One of our communications satellites went offline, and we have all the suspicion to believe that it was the Navy that knocked it off. We can't send someone there to check it out because we're damn sure it's an ambush.

Our commander tasked us with finding a way to send an untracked transmission through Liberty's espionage grid. A high power transmitter should do the trick - We heard you had one. This is why we're here. A single message shouldn't bring too much attention, if that's what you're worried about.

I wish we could use our own. But Liberty's got them tracked down for sure. We send another message, they'll send a squad down on us. It's too risky.

What do you say, Doc?
