Wasteland Bouquet: The Wasteland 2 Journals

Wasteland 2 - The Wasteland Bouquet Adventures

From the shot-up journal of Caravan Lily

We managed to pull back with the survivors and meet up with our reinforcements.

They had medical supplies, ammo and our new orders. Vargas wanted us to make a push, try to beat back the Red Skorpions and get into the Prison if we could.

I heard the Rangers used to live here, way back when. I wonder if they kept it so secure, or if it's just because the Red Skorpions are fucking psychos...

Whatever. One squad stayed behind, doing what they could for the wounded, the other went in with us. The closer we got to the Prison walls, the worse the fighting got.

They had a farm, an actual farm, and they were using slaves to work it. The guards were so heavily armed we were lucky nobody died... they didn't care about the slaves getting in the way of their bullets, either.

My arm's all bandaged up. The foreman jumped me and got a lucky shot off before Rose could deal with him.

We got there in the end, though. Drove them back, killed as any as we could. We're at a stalemate now. There's no way we're getting into the Prison, not with the killzone they've got set up, but they can't get out, not as long as we've got a squad watching the entrance.

I can't stop shaking. Magpie says it's the adrenaline. I'm gonna see if Rose has any of that rotgut left from the Rail Nomads.

Vargas radioed in again. Wants us to head east, find some militia. Word has it they're all geared up with no one to fight, and Vargas thinks they'd be willing to help get into the Prison.

Only problem is, the way east is deadly. Radiation clouds. There's a canyon that's safer, but we'd still need suits to get through.

At least the suits were easy. Vargas told us about a guy near the prison, said he should be able to set us up with what we needed.

He was pretty reluctant to help us until Magpie had a word with him. I dunno what they talked about, but I heard her mention his brother and suddenly he just forked over the suits.

We're getting the last of our supplies sorted right now. I'm not looking forward to this, but we don't have much choice.

Major events so far:

War between the Rangers and the Red Skorpions rages.

The group has gained radiation suits and the location of possible allies.
