>>6025779>>6025755>>6025586While I am pretty well-versed in nautical terminology and engineering, I'll accept your vote for Lafayette Town."Frank, it's bad fucking news out here. It's at this place called Lafayette Town, out in Maine. It's a shopping attraction. I guess they always end up being the sites of these things?"
You process the information, already up and looking around your apartment floor for your refitted jacket. The very same one you wore when investigating Willamette, actually...
"How long has this been going on, Vick? How's the public not heard?"
Heavy breathing over the phone, and then the sound of a door shutting and locking. Vick's voice returns.
"About a week. The military - they've had the whole place under lock and key. No press, locals turned away, they've even been detaining people. And they're using cell jammers and internet blockers - nobody can get the word out. It's chaos over here, Frank. I'm..."
"Vick? Vick! Vick, are you safe? Get yourself to safety. I'll get a flight as soon as I can. I gotta get in touch with someone."
The line goes dead. Vick doesn't respond to anything. She might be in danger or even worse. You remember the military presence in Willamette - helicopters shooting at you and the pilot, then the special forces coming in to wipe out anyone left alive. If what Chuck told you is to be believed, they almost did the same thing in Fortune City. Donning your now-retrieved jacket, you pick up your trusty digital camera, fully functional to this day, and head into your phone's contacts.
>Call up Teddy DeLuca, the older brother of the pilot Ed DeLuca that ferried me to Willamette all those years ago. He's a reliable guy, and you've helped him financially in the past since his brother died to a zombie while helping you get your original scoop. He'll be able to drop you off in a helicopter and retrieve you, if his talents are to be believed.>Call up Brad Park, ZDC agent. He hounded your ass for years, trying to verify the legitimacy of every single claim you made after the PhenoTrans scandal. Once he realised the truth of the matter, he's been a good associate of yours and is staunchly anti-corruption. He'll be able to arrange a private jet to get you there and back, maybe with less interference from the military.>Call up Chuck Greene. Since the Fortune City expose, he's vanished off the radar of the mainstream news. You've managed to keep in touch, learning that he had to turn to a life of organised crime to afford to pay for his daughter's medicine. Eventually, she disappeared and he's now in charge of a criminal empire. He can get you through the military - by force.
