Power Repair and RTR FWB Search - June 09th, 1996
Mission Briefing
Apollo:
Survivors, as I mention in my last debrief, I’ve begun investigating where RTR are located. I’m relatively certain that they are outside the greater LV Quarantine Zone. So, based on that, I’ve sent envoys to both Southern Indiana and Nashville. I felt it would be pertinent to lay new foundations with these groups even though we’ve worked together in the past. Moving forward to today’s mission, we’ll be working to accomplish two goals. First will be the restoration of power, we’re certain that this recent storm did a number on a couple power poles. I’ve sent a Private ahead to each location to inspect the damage, rendezvous with them and they’ll let you know how to proceed. Another slightly larger team will be going to Trimble County Power Station to investigate a possible explosion and loss of communication. There should be engineers there who can direct you as needed. The rest of you will be searching a couple locations for the possible locations of an RTR forward operating base.
Mission Debrief
Apollo:
The teams looking for the RTR Forward Operating Base both came up empty handed. We're still not certain where they're staging their attacks from here in the area. Please let us know if you see a concentration of noise towers or any other indication of a place they may be using for a forward base.
Further, things aren't looking good for our power situation. The teams were able to successfully repair the two downed power poles, but that was only half the battle. It seems RTR directly attacked the Trimble County Power Plant. The survivor team that cleared it let us know that there was only one engineer who managed to survive the attack. We were able to swing through and pick her up, since the zombies were now light in the area. She was very shaken maybe even slightly delirious, but told us the following:
Williams:
They set explosives on the turbines. The noise brought so many, the guards held for so long... We held up here in the control room, the zeds couldn't get in, but somehow the RTR agents did. They murdered the guards, told us to line up, and executed every one of us, one at a time. They told me I'd get to live to spread the joyous chorus of their song to all.
Apollo:
It's time now for certain that we forge ahead and take the fight to them. We just need solid intel so we're not stumbling through the forest chasing more ghosts.
Thank you everyone for your help today, we're currently working on a way to get the power at least temporarily working, though I've been told if we run at a lower output there may be occasional blackouts.
