"So where to now Captain?" You hop into the shotgun seat while MUNCH goes back to his own spot. NUMBERS snorts as if about to wake up, but coughs and just goes back to sleep.
[AVARICE] Bastard better enjoy it - that's the best seat of them all on this crummy bike.
Without a word, the Captain takes out the hex map then points to the obelisk on the horizon.
"Is there, is there any particular reason?" You kinda get the creeps from that thing...
>TRAVEL: SE (THE PILLAR CALLS)
[AUTHORITY] The Captain looms over you. "BECAUSE WE MUST." You swear you can see him grinning under the mask and all you can do is nod.
He turns forward and shifts gears. The Crawler hums to life and you're well on your way to the southeast.
...
"IRON LUNGS," MUNCH says like a bolt from the red.
"Munch," IRON LUNG says, casually inconsiderate.
"So WHERE are we supposed to be going anyway???"
The Captain fishes out a worn note from his breast pocket and stuffs it into your idle hands. You read it aloud.
"Ace,

II - Destroy evil

>The official seal of the House of the Volf, a powerful and influential noble house obsessed with maintaining order in what remains of the Psydonian Empire.
>The Duchess of the House von Flügel, a minor but very wealthy independent noble house infamous for their deadly robotic infantry and augmented soldiers.
>The Inquisition, the long-standing militant wing of the schismatic Church of !!PSYDON!! and the former not-so-secret police force at the TYRANT's beck and call.
>[CHAOS] XOM's. :)
>There's no fucking signature?!
>WRITE IN.
"So why are these ASSHOLES sending FOUR DUDES IN A BIKE to do this job?"
>[AUTHORITY] [SILENCE] The Captain says nothing...
>WRITE IN.
