Flying Saucers and Zombies, Sixton City Limits

[Dracos]

They found themselves entering the city limits of Sixton, the cool winds traveling over them as they saw the sign...

"Welcome to Sixton."
 "Population: 358"



The trees swayed in the wind as the three kids stood upon the road leading into the forboding looking factory town.  At least the sun was up though.

Phil took a deep breath as the familiar landmarks of home came into view.

"Okay, here's what I'm thinking. We avoid town completely, unless we need supplies, but I've got enough stuff from Saturn Valley to make it up into the mountains without any problems. We head through the caves for the construction site, then figure out what to do from there. Unless someone has a better suggestion?"

The young boy looks between his two companions for confirmation.

[Brian]

"That makes sense to me," Liao said with a shrug.

[Zenthor]

"Sounds good.  As fun as frying Zombies would be, probably better to cure them than kill 'em.  Lead the way, O' Holder of the Railgun."

[Halbarad]

And with no further ado, Phil leads the intrepid trio into the mountains, towards the caves through which he found the alien shipyard.

"And can we avoid setting chickens on fire on the way?"

[Zenthor]

"Fine, I'll settle for freezing them instead," Jade grinned.

[Brian]

"What about leaving them alone and quietly being on our way?" Liao asked.  "We want to be quiet and keep the ... robozombiens ... from noticing that we're coming."

[Zenthor]

Jade rolled her eyes.  "It was a joke, Meow."

[Brian]

"Oh, okay," Liao says, before his stomach grumbles, reminding him that he hasn't eaten much since that cookie last night.

[Halbarad]

Phil manages to overhear the noise from Liao's direction. "Sorry... we can eat now if you want to, but I figured we'd stop outside the caves for lunch if that's okay. Should take us a couple of hours to get up there."

[Zenthor]

Liao's stomach grumbling reminds Jade that she hasn't eaten anything at all either since lunch yesterday.  The thrill of seeing a railgun fired and other such things made her forget about it.  Her stomach started rumbling also.

"Urk... Uh... I'm in favor of eating now, if that makes any difference.  Man, I should have at least taken a cookie or something last night."

[Brian]

Liao wordlessly offers Jade the cookie he stashed in his pocket the night before, for just such an emergency.

[Halbarad]

"Sure, we can stop now," Phil says with a nod. "I'm not that hungry myself - I usually snack while I'm working - but I wouldn't mind having something to eat."

So saying, he sets down his backpack, unpacking food from it to share with the others.

[Brian]

Liao eagerly makes himself a sandwich, or in the words of his village's youth: A sammich.  "Thanks, Phil!" he enthuses.  "I never got a last meal from my village," he muses.  "I guess this'll be it, then."

[Zenthor]

Jade accepts the cookie, thanks Liao, and starts digging through her bag while munching on it.  She pulls out her lunch from yesterday, only having partially eaten it.
