Before you do anything, you unwrap the bundle containing the mystery relic to find...
>NAGNAT M2005 (RELIC FIREARM. The last Russian revolver model before the Old World ended. Made out of silver. ATTACK ROLL: TALENT+WILLPOWER+2. Inflicts EXPOSED on hit, increasing RESTRAINT and FLESH damage taken by 2 for the rest of combat (can not stack). Uses REVOLVER AMMO.)
>You obtain 4 REVOLVER AMMO as well!
Your captives are rightfully concerned to see you pulling out a gun on them. "No, no, this isn't for you. We're collecting relics too. Look. I'd just have Lex beat the shit out of you if I wanted you dead."
Lex immediately fixes his posture like he's a dog hearing his own name. "Damn right. Seems you're shit out of luck since I'm leaving you with these two." He nods towards you and Ashley. "C'mon, guys. Let's go explore."
Wendy and Alexis split off to check the PRODUCTION FACILITY while Lex and Quentin pry off a tile that had a tiny yet distinct scratch on it, which leads directly to the HIDDEN SHELTER.
"OH ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING!" The Drone Goon hisses, the loose skin covering his featureless face vibrating with impotent rage. "WE WERE LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR SOMETHING HIDDEN! YOU'RE WORKING FOR WHITEROCK HUH? HUH???"
"No. I just have my own methods. Now, Ashley, ask them something."
Ashley presses the knife harder into the Half-Graverobber's throat. "You said something interesting about a revolutionary. Who is he? You seemed so eager to talk about him mere moments before."
"Don't tell her a single thing, Pasternack, or I'LL GUT YOU MYSELF!" The Bodysuit Woman struggles fruitlessly in her restraints.
"...Don't got a choice, Liz." Pasternack looks up at the two of you with an odd glint of pride, of all things, in his eyes. "He's a man who has inspired all of us. Everyone here, in my group. We're...followers of him, I suppose?"
"I feel like that downplays what he does for us but that works." Liz reluctantly agrees. "He didn't send us on this if that's what you're asking. We've just paranoid about those who would want to stop him."
"Such as?" You try to prod for more answers.
"Corporate executives, his fellow associates who think he's too radical, the works. You don't get a lot of fans when you want to help your common man while outright rejecting the corporations."
This doesn't sound particularly relevant to your situation but you can't lie, if he really is just trying to help others, you don't have a problem with him on principle.
"You sure he would be proud about your group pillaging some poor village?" Ashley snidely remarks.
"WHAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WON'T HURT HIM. WE NEED TO GET RESOURCES. WE KNOW J-CORP AND B-CORP WOULD MAKE A STINK IF THEY KNEW. IF THEY KNEW!" The Drone Goon cryptically jabbers. You assume it's some sort of riot they plan on starting. Would make sense as to why they want relics; They are powerful.
"Next question. Why are you attacking WHITEROCK of all places? I can't imagine they would be the only place with artifacts."
