"I meeeeeean, there_*are_* people who routinely move through every zone except nearest to the Arc Dome: the Washoe, Shoshone, and Paiute native tribes. Granted, there's something very odd about them, what with being able to read people's minds without the related "[cybernetics":](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID), or those "[creepy EM-absorbent cloaks":](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543014464056721414/867988184431230996/13e91f0f9a0c37889ec3f71e1e8ce68bb2e922e3.png) they wear, even though I've seen'em creep right through a horde of zombies and killing machines, *and even acknowledging eachother's presence*, as if they were trying to keep hidden from something else watching'em... Despite that, they're ridiculously helpful, and they can get _*pretty_* darn close to Souterain too..."

"Got split wide-open by some cannibal's machete going for my head. Luckily, we had doctors back then too as skilled as Anna. Lost the delicate control of the fingers, but at least I was saved from amputation. Sure I'd go fix it too, but by the time this happened I'd figure it was time to settle down, plus I'd get to have a badass scar for stories."
"As for those hideaways, I think in the bolt-holes, people used to pass time during storms or danger too by things like drawing; I swear there's a ton of old sketches people left laying around in drawers in some of those spots. It's like Val made it a point to have art material, books, and the like stocked within'em, to keep hiding folks comfortably distracted I suppose, what with all the danger they'd be in those holes for a while, and for good reasons..."
"I mean, Jesus, boah," ^[==\<.\<==]^
