A few residents of Finn Rock mull around the Town Center, while others venture out in groups to take a closer look at the state of the town. Backglass sits on an old oak bench beneath a tree and thumbs through an well worn book. Supercram paces a few yards away, muttering to himself incoherently. Houssam, Bogusbet, and Master Bush head off toward one of the safe zones. Freetymes and Wicked chat quietly in front of a small shop on Main Street. There is little activity and movement throughout the ghost town. By evening of the first day, a few of the residents gather in a small coffee shop just off Main Street. Roars of yelling discussion reverberate throughout the shop and out into paved streets. After a few hours of discussion, each of the members in the coffee shop somberly nods and gathers what little items they have and head toward the Town Center. Trestain and Dussle appear in the Town Center, each arm filled with various medical supplies and gear. They drop everything in the dying grass and the echo pierces the near blanketing silence of nature. Moz and Broomhead stand idly by, watching the unfolding events. A few of the residents that were speaking in the coffee shop tell every one of their plans. After a moment of drawing straws, Master Bush, Freetymes, and Houssam are left with the shortest. They all silently look at one another, and dawn on some surgeical gear, and prepare themselves both physically and mentally for what they are each about to do. XenHu comes running from the East. He explains to everyone Autoload is coming toward the Town Center from one of the safe zones. The three soldiers set off, heading into an alley. They each hide behind a few large green and rotting dumpsters. In the distance, a hundred feet or so away, Autoload is seen slowly but surely gliding toward the Town Center. As he gets closer and closer to the soldiers, their nerves tense up. Master Bush vomits slightly to his left, and Houssam wipes from his brow. As Autoload walks into striking distance, each the members grab their clubs of iron and ambush Autoload. He cries out in pain and screams in agony as the Freetymes slams one end of his club into Autoload's face, as if planting a flag. Master Bush winds up a ferocious swing and works on breaking Autoload's legs, incase he tries to get back to his feet. Houssam nervously holds his metal club in his jittering hands. Master Bush yells for Houssam to throw in the final blow while he and Freetymes have got him under control, but Houssam can only seem to stand and watch. Freetymes slaps Houssam and tells him they need to do it, for Finn Rock's fate. Houssam shakes off his chills and paleness and firms his grip on his metal club. He raises it high over his head and lets out a cry and he brings the end of it straight through Autoload's chest, puncturing heart and lung. Each of the soldiers slowly back away from twitching body. After a few minutes, they each tie a rope to his feet and drag him out of the alley and back to the Town Center.
On the dying and brown grass rests Autoload, Han Po-Tsang (Healthy -- Cop) , bloody, beaten, and befouled by foreign metal.
