*Pulls half of the seeds out of my pocket*
Do you want some of these?

@Webmaster

*Looks at them for a moment and smiles.* Nah, I think I'll be fine. After all, those could help your group so much more than they would help me, seeing as I would need some place to grow them anyways.

@Stabby

Are you a roamer?

Are you a roamer?

@Webmaster

Generally yea, though I'm a pretty slow one at that, since my main goal it to search a city from top to bottom as best I can before leaving. *Looks thoughtful for a moment.* In fact, I would say that most loners are also likely to be roamers as well, either by choice or by necessity.

@Stabby

What if you get sick? Or hurt?

@Webmaster

Then I take my time to rest and recover if possible, and if I'm unlucky I die. But that's the main reason why I take my time as I search a city, that way I don't make stupid mistakes that could cost me my life.

@Stabby

Do you have medicine for yourself if something happens? You can't control when you get sick, after all.

@Webmaster

Nope, since anything I find is usually the wrong type or not effective enough, so I leave it behind. It's really just a gamble on if my body can fight it off after finding a safe place to rest at when it happens.

@Stabby

That sounds so dangerous.

*Shrugs a little.* Well, it's not like I have a choice about it.

@Stabby

What about bandits? Do you ever run into any?

@Webmaster

*Is thoughtful for a moment, is about to say something, and then looks thoughtful again.* I've run into one or two, but on both occasions I got lucky and they lost interest in me.

@Stabby

Wow, I never hear about things like that happening. We have real problems with bandits in our camp.

@Webmaster

I think I've just been real lucky. What kind of problems are you having aside from the obvious?

@Stabby

With bandits? They like to steal our supplies and cause trouble for search groups.

[Unhinged]

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

I can't do that; it sounds cool, though. Would that even work here?

@Etcetera

Don't think so. It would open up a lot of exploitable loopholes.

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Can somebody please explain what, exactly, we are doing here, what we need, and why we need it?

@Mammalia

You are here, because the odds of you getting here were super slim, yet with Curtis came the perfect tool for us to get at the piece to Nemid's Machine, that lies in the Dead Stretch. I also want to make sure each of you understands that you should not return the piece to the government here, as much as they may insist you should.

@Unhinged

I figured.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*looks a bit uncomfertable.* I.. I'd rather not say much about how considering that it's part of the reason I got kicked from my group. That aside though, it helps that I love exploring places like these for scraps of knowledge, as I tend to find most of my necessities along the way. *I've gone back to my usual self by the end of my second sentence.*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Oh really? Then you'll have to show me later, when we aren't in the middle of a ruined and possibly fragile city.

@Stabby

I'll be sure to. I want to explore this place a bit more, though.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Gasps*
How? I thought that the stories about people surviving on their own were just stories.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Nods*
There's no choice.

@Webmaster

Do you think, one day, there will be?

@Balance

*Shrugs*
I don't know. I don't really think about what life would be like if we didn't have to do it this way.

@Webmaster

Do you ever make progress? Something new and better?
