Resistance Supplies
Roadside interview with Jennifer Hurt, supply driver for NE Square quadrant"Mostly I just help with making caches. We mark 'em with this symbol here, it's the Greek letter Phi. Pretty cool, huh? Heard some egghead tell me it stands for the Golden Ratio, a kind of crazy number sequence. Who gives a crab's maw, right? It serves its purpose. City 17 uses a different mark, some scientific symbol, so we took that idea and personalized it for the Square.
"These caches are for escapees from City 9, so they know where to find supplies. We put what medicines we can spare, and different kinds of ammo, usually shotgun shells and some 5.56 or 7.62, those are the most common weapons you see. In some of the more dangerous areas we'll try and leave an extra Magnum and a few full loads worth of ammo. Like if we know there's Throwers around. Shotguns work okay on Throwers, but if you're using buckshot it spreads too much to do a lot of damage.
"The Magnum will often hit the host so hard that it knocks the whole damn thing back and shuts down the crabs on board. With the shotty you'll pretty much have to take down the crabs one by one, which is a fucking drag. The Mag is also spectacular on Shriekers, because it'll fling 'em backward no matter how much momentum they've got. I've hit a Shrieker with 10 rounds from an M16A2 and still had the damn thing run into me. Dead, yeah, but still messed me up bad. Stupid M16 has too much muzzle velocity with that dinky little round, ends up going straight through any baddies. It ain't bad for picking crabs off at a distance, though. I can get a good 800 yard center mast out of it.
"I'll probably cover about twenty or thirty sectors in six months, laying out a few hundred caches. Kill some Combine, get away quick and lay low, then go back to sprinkling out my precious cargo.
"Feels like I'm doing some of the finest work left in the world. Helping survivors survive . . . and fight. Humanity breathes. Later."
