Dani Beale

**Dani Beale** is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn.

A vocal champion of the "Brawn strong" mantra, Dani emerged as a key strategic player after arranging a hit on her ally Simon Mee to flush both of his Hidden Immunity Idols. After the merge, Dani was instrumental in voting out Baden Cooke and Hayley Leake to further the Brawn agenda, but once she expressed her intent to turn on fellow Brawn Emmett Pugh, her alliance fell apart. Despite dodging elimination at the hands of her own Brawn allies, the remaining original Brawn members never recovered their numbers and played from the minority from that point on. Eventually, for her status as a challenge threat, Dani was voted out at the final six by the ruling Brains Alliance.

David Zaharakis

**David Zaharakis** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

A core member of the Heroes, David's tight connections with all his original tribemates helped to keep his options open. At the merge, he sided with his original allies, oblivious to the Villains' imminent crusade which saw him blindsided as their first victim.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com*

With a clear advantage in the physical challenges, ex-AFL player David is a sporting hero to many but also knows not everyone will agree with that term. He says, "The thing about AFL is you can be one team's Hero or my team, Essendon's Hero. Or you can be another team's Villain and the opposition supporters hate you. I still have other team supporters coming up to me saying how much they hate me, and I love that!"

After retiring last year from the AFL following 13 years of playing, David is currently studying Property and Real Estate, majoring in Global Finance and jumped at the chance to play in his favourite game, *Survivor*.

David says, "I've been watching *Survivor* since I was 12, I think maybe back in 2002 when it started. I just love all the elements of it - the physical nature of it, the games. As a kid you watch the challenges and you think, I want to do that one day."

But just because he's a Hero, doesn't mean David doesn't know that the game can get sneaky saying, "Just because I am a Hero, doesn't mean I am not here to play hard. I think if you watch every superhero comic or movie, the Hero always comes out on top. But in the game of *Survivor*, I don't think there is a line I am not willing to cross. I think you must cross lines to win. I am definitely prepared for that."

Kennecott

Once the Alaskan gold rush ended in 1899, Kennecott was abandoned and became a National Park in 1998. Kennecott is located in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska and was a boomtown that mined massive quantities of Copper and Gold ore until the veins went dry. With the eruption, came earthquakes in Canada that turned up earth. One day, a scavenger came across the ruins of Kennecott and discovered the Gold and Copper rich caverns within the ground in 34 PA. Years later, the Scavenger passed away but not before telling his son about the unexploited riches within the complex cave systems of Kennecott. He assembled a workforce and soon gold and copper were flowing at a steady rate out of Alaska through the Alaskan Highway to be sent throughout the Wasteland. Most of the ore is sent to Denver and Californian forges. There have even been minute traces of Alaskan Copper traveling as far east as New Chicago.
The Dead Zone

The Dead Zone is within the Immediate Vicinity of the Yellowstone Crater, It is reported that there is no life in the dead zone, but much riches to be found if one were to survive. So far nobody who has ventured into the Dead Zone have made it out alive.

## Near the Crater

Some folk say Yellowstone is still burning
I didn't believe them until I saw my first firestorm
The strong winds blowing smoldering ashes and chunks of half-molten rock across the wastes
A black wall on the horizons, with portions of it glowing like hellfire
It reminded me of an old country song

- Anonymous, unknown. Found scrawled on a wall in the Outer Ashlands.

### Disturbances in geography, topography and bizarre weather

It is said the Dead zone conjures massive ash and thunderstorms, sometimes firestorms that rage from the crater, burning a whirlwind of hell throughout the Dead Zone, Escaping to the Deep Zone and Sometimes Making it out to the outer Ashlands. The Ground it self is Unstable, Constantly shifting and shaking. large canyons and sinkholes can seemingly appear out of nowhere, consuming all caught in its fall. Some of the Ashlander Tribas have come to call these firestorms the "tears of the mountain".

## Post Rupture and Ashfall

Both the Deep and Dead zones were hit hard, most areas being completely wiped of life. Entire Cities can be found frozen in time, the faces of the people who died there, running, crying, stuck in gridlock, or embracing their loved ones forever preserved reminiscent of ancient Pompeii.

### Chaos Post Rupture

immediately after the Rupture the Cities and towns in the surrounding areas were devastated by the waves of hellfire and ash that had befallen upon them. It seemed the Deep zone suffered the worst of fates; Rather than dying in the initial ash fall like the inhabitants of the Dead zone, the Dwellers of the Deep zone suffered much more due to the after effects and close proximity to the eruption.

#### The First Firestorm

The first firestorm killed anything that survived the Initial ash waves, Hell on earth didn't even begin to describe what unfolded in the Deep Zone. Like cannonballs, chunks of semi-hard lava removed limbs and the subsequent wave of flaming debris and ash cauterized the wounds. What wasn't ripped off was degloved by the sheer force. Rivers of molten slag sweap away entire towns in the blink of an eye, the deafened, concussed survivors barely having any time to react to the intense heat igniting the air around them before being dragged along by metric tons of molten magma, rock and metals.In their last moments, they wished they had died in the eruption.
NCA M-45

## New Chicago Armory M-45

1.      [Description]

    The NCA M-45A1 is a fully-auto-only carbine built from simple materials for use by the Great Lakes Coalition military forces. It is fed from a removable magazine and is an open-bolt design. The NCA M-45A1 went through 3 prototype runs before settling on a final variant. It is currently the standard-issue firearm for frontline troops in the GLC Illinois Division.

2.      [History] In 7 PA, the Great Lakes Coalition's Combat Department commissioned a compact, simple carbine for frontline troops in urban areas. The response to that was the development of the .45 ACP, fully automatic carbine known as the NCA M-45A1. The NCA M-45A1 and its subsequent prototypes were developed at the Great Lakes Coalition Manufacturing Institution stationed in New Rockford, IL.  There, head designer and scientist [REDACTED] developed a the prototype that would end up being the final design.

3.      [Technical Specifications] The current-issue M-45A2 uses the .45 ACP pistol cartridge in standard 40-round magazines.  It is an open-bolt system with select-fire capabilities between semi-auto and 4 round burst. It features a second vertical grip, a retracting wire stock, leaf sights for longer range encounters, and a 10-inch barrel for maximum optimization of the .45 ACP round. It is currently manufactured in the New Chicago Armory as well as the [REDACTED] Armory in Michigan.

4.      [Variants/Prototypes] The M-45 went through various stages of development, in which all variants saw active combat use which aided in the refinement of the weapon over a period of time.

      [XM-45A] The first prototype manufactured was the XM-45A, which used a standard full-bodied rifle stock, not unlike an old world M14. It had fully automatic capabilities and was fed with the same ammunition and magazines. however, while slightly maneuverable, the rifle was large and not as light as its following designs. However, it was perfectly functional. A recorded 200 XM-45A rifles were used in the Battle of Champaign.

[XM-45B] The second prototype, the XM-45B, was a major shift in cosmetic appearance and overall length and weight of the rifle. the full-body stock was removed in lieu of an AK-style stock and the bolt mechanism was changed. However, this lead to malfunctions, which greatly hindered the effectiveness of the carbine in battle. It was dropped in 8 PA in favor of the final design, which is still used today.

[M-45A2] The M-45A2 is a slightly upgraded version of the standard M-45A1. It features a second vertical grip below the front sight post, and also boasts a select-fire capability. However, the fully automatic fire function was removed in favor of a 4-round burst in order to preserve ammunition, as well as adding a semi-automatic function.
Paige Donald

**Paige Donald** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

Paige started off on the Heroes tribe and quickly found herself in a good position. At the swap, her tribe had a numerical advantage until Gerry Geltch foolishly flipped to George Mladenov's "Spice Girls" alliance. She was blindsided at the new tribe's first Tribal Council when Shonee Bowtell naively played an idol on George, an idol that was given by the producers at the afternoon retreat purely to benefit George.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

The beaches of Samoa could not be further away from Paige's real life as a Ringer and Jillaroo in Central Queensland. Growing up in a country town, Paige left home at 18 and started working at cattle stations where she's mustering cattle and saddling horses daily.

Paige says, "I am not really a beach person. The sand in your crack, everywhere, I can't stand that! But living rough is no stranger to me. You know, I spend my weekends and lots of time hunting with my dogs, spending it out in the bush with the good old swag."

She says her Hero would be her grandfather who helped raise her but is not going to let the title of being on herself get to her head, saying, "If you think you are a Hero, you are a d\*ckhead. If you don't think you are a Hero, then you probably are one. A Hero is someone that loves helping other people, getting in, putting themselves on the line to be able to get things done."

Hoping the game of mateship will help her through Survivor, Paige is there to win but also wants to experience something challenging and make new friends. She says, "I think making friends is probably most important. Obviously, everyone wants to win, and I wouldn't mind a new car or a house. But I think even if I didn't end up winning, I would be okay with that, knowing that I had made some really good mates."

Immunity Challenge

## *Survivor* Gameplay

### Description

A type of challenge, between tribes or individuals, where the competitors aim to earn exemption or protection from Tribal Council

### Appearances

Every season

The **Immunity Challenge** is an important aspect of the game. Winning this challenge will secure a tribe or an individual safety from the upcoming Tribal Council.

## Tribal Immunity

During the tribal phase of the game, the tribes vie for the ownership of the Immunity Idol. The winning tribe will be granted safety from the upcoming Tribal Council.

In rare cases, there are Double Tribal Councils where both tribes go to Tribal Council, where the tribal Immunity Idol is temporarily replaced with the Immunity Necklace which is usually only available post-merge. After a Double Tribal Council, the tribal Immunity Idol is put back into play until the merge.

## Individual Immunity

After the merge, where there is only one existing tribe, the remaining contestants compete in individual challenges to seek possession of the Immunity Necklace, which guarantees safety at Tribal Council for its bearer. Unlike the tribal Immunity Idol, which gives exemption to an entire tribe, the incumbent wearer of the necklaces still must attend Tribal Council and cast a vote, but that player cannot be voted out.

On some occasions, individual immunity has been played for during the pre-merge stages of the game, usually occurring during a Double Tribal Council.

## Strategy

During the pre-merge stage of the game, tribes that are allowed to sit out members may opt to let a weaker tribe member compete for the Reward Challenge, and reserve their stronger tribe members for the Immunity Challenge to potentially better their chances of winning the latter to escape Tribal Council. Conversely, a majority alliance within a tribe may choose to purposefully lose an Immunity Challenge to eliminate an undesirable tribe member.

## Trivia

* Brooke Jowett, Emmett Pugh and Hayley Leake have each won the most individual immunities in a single season, at 5.
* Brooke Jowett, Locky Gilbert, Luke Toki and Emmett Pugh each have the most individual Immunity Challenges wins in a row, with 3.
* Brooke Jowett has won the most individual Immunity Challenges in an *Australian Survivor* career, with 7 over the course of her two seasons.
Mitch Shaw

**Mitchell "Mitch" Shaw** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn*.

Mitch took an early leadership role on the Brains tribe. After outsider and initial intended target George Mladenov was gifted a Hidden Immunity Idol by the producers, the majority alliance decided to vote out Mitch for his strategic position on the tribe in case George decided to play his idol.

## Profile

Des Arc

Founded in 1871, Des Arc was a rural town with a meager population of 177 Post-Ashfall in Iron County, Illinois. The population declined after the eruption until a need for metal ore was heard. The remaining inhabitants began mining metal ore and the population exploded to an estimated 6,500 people in 17 PA.

Soon after New Chicago light its blast furnaces, scrap metal became uncommon in the wasteland. A small community of less than an estimated 200 people located in southern Illinois began mining Iron ore to fill New Chicago's ravenous appetite for raw material. Soon, this small town became the wasteland's primary supplier of raw iron. The now bustling city decided to name itself Des Arc, after the numerous signs found within the city.

After being extracted from the earth, the raw iron would be sent up the Mississippi river and moved east into New Chicago where it would be turned into steel, ammunition, various weapons and machinery. 25% of all goods created with Des Arc iron would be shipped back down through the Mississippi river and would be given back to Des Arc as payment. Then, 8% of what Des Arc received would be given to the Republic of the Ozarks for protection along the Mississippi river and against raider attacks.
APC-01

Armored Personnel Carrier 01

Armored Personnel Carrier 01a

## History in AshLands

The M2 Bradley, re-designated the APC-01 by the Penn Technocracy, was found on many army bases and bunkers after the ashfall. The APC-01 was used in the Technocracy's Great Expedition. It was used with great effect against many of the creatures and hostile tribals who inhabited the deep zones. While almost all APC-01s are salvage, about 10 are the newest model, the APC-01a. The APC-01a has been "improved" over the original model with an all steel construction and ash filters, after partial design documents and reverse engineering.

## Armament

1. 1 25 mm cannon
2. 1 M240C machine gun
3. 8, 2x2 grenade launchers

The ACP-01 lacks the TOW 2 missiles of the original M2 Bradley.
I didn't Enlist for this

Recruits are grouped together with other people from their state. They patrol the area in/near that state.

i'm in Nevadan and Enlisted at 17, youngest you can get in. Got sent out to patrol North NV. I Run into Mojave Union sometimes. Become bros, listen to music, play cards, explore ash ruins when we find them. Boring day, nothing but ash for miles. Suddenly fall into hole in the ground. See some furniture, an old tv. Look up, see collapsed sheet metal. This is either a buried shack or a makeshift bunker. See something move in the corner. Climb the fuck out. Call /Mu/bros and /TEF/bros. Ten guys show up. Drop a flash-bang down there. Something scramble to get up and out. Everyone mag-dumps into the thing. Stick-thin, fleshy thing. Skin half-merged with fabric. Face looks like a fucked up version of a nearby bro. What the hell. Hear about Arkansas, and all the shit TEF troops went through there. Can't sleep knowing that there could be more
Republic of New York

## Area of Operations

The **Republic of New York** (RNY) was formed in 4PA (Post-Ashfall) from the majority of New York State, with the notable exception of New York City. Syracuse serves as the nation's capital, as well as the largest trading hub.

The **Republic of New York Militia** (RNYM) serves as the primary offensive and defensive arm of the RNY.
The Birth of the FNC

After the eruption we first felt fortunate. Living in the north east we found ourselves relatively untouched by the ash clouds and still had some contact with the rest of the world. It wasn't long though until the refugees came, and Boston fell into anarchy. It seemed like our little safe haven was due to collapse under the strain.
. but before the end, help came from an unlikely place.
. They claimed to be remnants of the US government, still alive and looking to bring the country out of this nightmare.
. we just assumed they had disbanded after the eruption
. whoever they were, they were effective
. after a few months, they tamed Boston, and reestablished ties to the world.
. Soon, aid was rolling into the area like never before
. as things improved rumors began to spread
. What good is the US government if most of the state's refuse to even recognize their authority?
. It wasn't long before the announcement made it official
. sanctioned expeditions would be sent to the other states to establish contact. These expeditions were filled with an assortment of volunteers from the NEC, though oddly enough, very few were refugees.
. For many natives, it caused a bit of resentment
. these people were let into our homes, but when the time came to re-establish control over their land, they refused.
. The ones who ventured out would soon get a taste of why they refused to leave as they approached the outskirts of NYC
. While the NEC survived untouched, Boston wasn't, and if it wasn't for the timely arrival of help, the anarchy of the city would have spread
. NYC was the proof, and it stopped the expedition cold
. Their were rumors of barbarism, but nothing confirmed
. When they entered the city they found blue helmets on pikes, the world offered its aid to the Big Apple, and the city cut it off
. After a very brief firefight, the expedition, outgunned and unprepared, retreated
. If the NEC was to expand, the city would have to be dealt with, it was only a matter of time until whoever was still alive there began making their own raids outside the city
. and the NEC was an obvious target.
City-State of Gunnison

Sheltered from the majority of the ashfall by strong winds and a valley, Gunnison was one of the better-off parts of the Ashlands in the immediate aftermath of the Rupture.

###

### History of Gunnison

In the aftermath of the Rupture, the town of Gunnison took in the few refugees it could support. In order to make the best of limited resources, rationing was imposed by the town government, and strict limits were imposed on fishing and hunting.

However, the town barely survived the first winter, where temperatures commonly hit -25 fahrenheit. This was only made worse by the region's windchill, which made the already freezing temperatures even worse. As a result of the temperature and scarcity of resources, there were many deaths from starvation and exposure to the elements in the region. To make matters worse, bandit raids from neighboring towns alongside the Gunnison River were frequent, driven by desperation and lack of resources. While the town of Gunnison was successful in repelling the incursions, they were only barely successful in doing so, and lost many of their best men and women.

When spring arrived, Gunnison still stood, but only because of the heroic efforts to both defend the town and maintain the stores of food and livestock needed to feed the town, as well as the vital seeds needed to grow crops for another year. The local college, Western State University had also remained relatively intact, and served as a vital hub for pre-Rupture knowledge. Several buildings in the University were also converted into plant nurseries and greenhouses in order to support the town.

By 3 PA, the City-State of Gunnison would ally itself with the state of Colorado Springs, and became part of the Patriarchate of Colorado.

## Resources

Aside from the seeds and livestock the town of Gunnison had so desperately defended during its first winter, the town was notable for its hydroelectric power supply. The hydroelectric power is supplied by the nearby Blue Mesa Reservoir Dam. The dam would eventually be secured by militia troops from Gunnison, as a result of local tribes attempting to occupy the strategically important location.

Gunnison primarily raises sheep and horses, with the latter being used for cavalry, pulling plows, and transportation.

## Post-Rupture Development

Around 3 PA, engineers in Gunnison succeeded in producing Giardoni-style air rifles, Volcanic pistols and six-pounder cannons. The Gunnison Air Rifle is notable for chambering .45 caliber ball, and mounting an air tank capable of holding enough pressure for about one thousand rounds, under optimal conditions.

While Gunnison's post-Rupture weaponry is not as effective as it's pre-Rupture counterparts, the city is capable of producing new ammunition and spare parts for the less complex weapons.
Castramentation of Saint Francois (CSF)

## **History of the CSF**

The CSF was formed by park rangers, policemen, national guard, and paramedics, as well as other emergency ersponce forces in the Mark Twain National Forest, and the surrounding areas after the eruption had destroyed normal life in Missouri.

The CSF was founded because the the ER forces listed wanted to continue to provide services post-eruption. The mountain rang of St. Francois was the first choice due to the natural safety it gave, and the closeness of two major post-eruption governments.

They forged alliances with both nearby governments and made agreements to aid scouts from both, acting like a powerful yet neutral state, such as Switzerland.

## **Functions of CSF**

The CSF is generally a hunting a state, and trades furs and food for various resources. The CSF also shelters scouts and soldiers from both TEF factions, as well as travelers and scavengers.

The CSF gets income and supplies from their tax put on those who use the CSF bases as refuges. Various payments are medicine, munitions, clothing, and sometimes weaponry.

Both TEF factions, if they were to become aggressors, are able to use the CSF as neutral, unhostile land in which to create meetings and treaties. The minor faction acts as a political middleman, and is often used as a postal stop for the two larger factions.

Gray Skin Rumors

So anyone here ever actually been inside or the blast crater?

From what I hear from the greyskins (and the occasional drunken ranger), the crater ash can vary from a solid mass to a thousand feet of quick-dust in a single step... and that rivers of molten glass snake through the surface and between the different layers of dust... supposedly they constantly ebb and flow in every direction, "popping" right out of the Big Gray when you least expect it.

But one of the grayskins I met in a bar in New Denver told me a story far stranger; there stands a single structure in the dead center of the great crater. The grayskin braves that go into the great crater don't go closer than a rifleshot to it; but they say from that distance it closely resembles a concrete cube, two or three stories high, featureless save for a entrance way cut straight and clean out of the rock, leading pitch blackness inside. Its been said that no has entered it; a great glass river surrounds the structure and only very sporadically does the "tide" bring it back down underground enough to cross in some areas.... worse yet the grayskin said that the glass is the least of it, that the closer you get the more a "great fear rises up in you"... he told me that outlanders, brought to the structure in search of loot have been seen throwing themselves into the glass after reaching the opposite bank...

Some of the greyskins have a whole mythology for it, saying that it is a physical manifestation of the "noosphere" (what ever the fuck that means) and that if you are worthy to reach the interior you will be granted a single wish by its "inhabitants"....

Of course these people huff dust to get high so I'm probably seeing WAY too much into this insanity. But can anyone else confirm if they have heard anything similar?
Michael Warren

**Michael Warren** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

Michael entered the game immediately targeting George Mladenov for his reputation as an *Australian Survivor* villain, with *de facto* tribe leader Simon Mee sharing similar sentiments. However, Michael's erratic behavior and aggressive conduct at Tribal Council, coupled with the naivety of the other tribemates, convinced the Villains to follow Shonee Bowtell's counter-campaign instead, leading to his elimination.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

A professional journalist, Michael is a sporting enthusiast who is passionate about people and telling their stories. However, he is aware that sometimes journalists aren't always heroes in the eyes of the public, saying, "I think people look at journalists as Villains because they feel journalists lack heart or sensitivity. But a real journalist has all those things. They do care, they do have empathy, but we also want to get that story."

As someone who believes in living life each day, the adventure of Survivor is something Michael has wanted to do for a long time. As a fan of the game, he remembers having *Survivor* parties with his friends at university and talking about how they would play the game.

Michael also wants to play the game for his mother who passed away in 2017 and says, "My mother knew I loved Survivor so she'd be shaking her head with laughter knowing I made it to the show. I know she'd say I've got the mindset to make it all the way but whether I can, will be a different story.

"If there was any season I'd want to be a part of, it's *Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains*. I love that a Villain wants to get their hands dirty and that’s my mentality. I'm not looking to play the perfect game, I know I'll make mistakes, but I love that Villains just don't care about ruffling the feathers. I'm prepared to lie, cheat and steal and do whatever I can to get to the end. I'm not here to play a boring, laconic, non-urgent game. Anything goes."

Here We Stand in the Ozarks

here I stand among the highlands of the mountains of this once green woods that is now lust with ash. As I stand here peering over the distance where there once was open land and fields of scenery now blocked out by the now mournful sight of the now darken hills of ash. That is when my brother comes up by my side after we had got over a good amount of distance from our hometown where our people reside most at.

"hey man, you got to slow down here you don't want to be caught off guard here".

As I turn to look at my brother's tattered leather jacket that had been handmade years ago from our first "hunt" as I look into the face of my brother I spoke up to him

"I know, which is why I have you by my side brother"

I turn my gaze back to the now "deadlands" as we now call it here. He gets up on the rocky hill where I stand as we both stare out in the gray view

"I remember when we first came up here."

I reach down my pocket of my worn out leather jeans that I have. Handmade it myself from one of my hunts and pull out an old flask that I found on a dead guy out here a long time ago.

"yeah I remember that time too, strange isn't it?"

As he says with a rather blank tone in his voice
"It's a shame how it all came to this"

Before I took a drink out of the flask that is still filled with moonshine that we both made back at our town my brother points out to the glimps of light over the distance

"you ever wonder what goes on over the gray ashhills?"
I take a swig from the flask before handing it to him.

"many times yes but I always end my mind with the same answer"

I turn my stare away from the hills and beacon my brother to come since the day is getting dark now.

"and that answer" I look back to him and say "is that whatever is over those hills I imagine they have it easy then we do here in the Ozark mountains".

I sighed as we begin our descent down the rocky mountains and make our way back to our hometown. I think that anyone outside either be Texans or those from Oklahoma foolish enough to try and venture here to our land if they can manage to make it over the gray ashhills.........may whatever god they believe in give them a painless death before they are slaughtered by the monsters we are trapped with here. "just another day in Arkansas" I tell myself before me and my brother got to town.
The Great Cheese Curtain

Great Lakes Coalition

The tales I overhear from most survivors in our area joke that they thought winter decided to screw them early. The ash layer was minimal along most of Lake Michigan but word from the West was unnerving. Most of the region benefited from broad manufacturing and the ability to transport resources and capital along the lakes. Teams quickly secured the Manitowoc Shipyards and the naval station north of the Chicago. Chicago has been burning since the ash first fell, once they realized the government couldn’t do anything to provide the massive resources and logistical infrastructure needed to keep such a population calm and compliant roving gangs and looters quickly tore the city apart. Leaders in Wisconsin sent a battalion of their Badgers in hopes of keeping the violence from spreading to the northern and western regions. Those drunken chaps started calling themselves “The Great Cheese Curtain” a homage to Cold War Berlin. Puny Bastards. Many of the salvaged naval vessels had their guns removed and repurposed around the outer colonies, some went to guard ports and other various strategic positions. With the Lakes being controlled by the coalition there was really no reason for the naval arms to remain shipboard, it also allows more goods to move along her waters
1st Cumberland Cavalry Regiment, an encounter with raiders

Day Zero plus 648

Newly re-constituted Kentucky Militia of the T.E.F. 2nd Kentucky rifles, 1st Cumberland Cavalry Regiment. We pushed into the Ashlands two days ago with the 1st Illinois Light Infantry Infantry, Marion Regiment. The going has been mostly easy so far. Our horses have come from some of the best stock and our men the same. But when we saw the ash, we knew things were going to change. The mood has gone from positive to somewhat somber. The cadence songs and occasional merry hoot and holler has faded and a pregnant silence hangs in the air. Even the horses seem..different. The Ash bothers their eyes and we had to put the screens on them after awhile, most reckon its the discomfort from those screens. The ash is just oppressive. Its a layer, not more than two inches thick, that just covers everything. Its omnipresent. Anything not capped, covered or closed will be ruined in mere minutes. Every step turns up a fine dusting, and there seems theres no respite. The company Sergeants say it gets worse as we go in-Its a trip many of them have made before, Carbondale to Colorado Springs, bringing supplies to the Forward Operating posts and helping out the TEF. But so many of us are green. Who knows how well they'll fair?

Day Zero plus 652
 We met our first contacts today. A group of raiders out in the wash near the remains of Great Bend. Hopped up on home-made opioids and gasoline, not more than a couple dozen of them. Went forward with a scouting party, hey thought it would be an easy task. They opened up on us with some fairly normal run of the mill firearms, but were either too high or too fucking scared to make any effort to aim properly. The first shots swished by our heads. we might not have even noticed were not it for the next folly falling about five meters in front of us. The Squadron commander ordered a charge post haste
 One might understand why a few of us were reluctant-myself included-to bloody our sabers when we had perfectly capable rifles right in out hands. He quickly organized into a maneuver and fire element, leading the manuver element himself. With ten of us in tow we flanked off as the fire element rode forward, took up positions and began firing. As the flanking element closed the gap, the fire stopped, well timed
 We fell on their unprotected flank. The flash of steel-the shots of pistols, the rattle of sabers-General Bragg would have been proud. One of the raiders rushed to me with an axe-like some sort of ancient warrior. Three .45 caliber slugs put him to the ground, and a trampling from one of our horses yielded a lovely crack from what was undoubtedly his spine breaking free. All said and done we had routed and destroyed a numerically superior force without a single casualty. Everyones spirits were high at that moment. They still are-our resolve had been tested and we hadn't blinked. It was a good showing, for sure.
New Chicago Expedition

February 14, 12 PA, New Chicago Expedition

It's fucking cold out and I don't want to be here. We've been going through the same 2 mile back-and-forth for the past 3 weeks and it's driving me crazy. Our CO is playing favorites with the ass-kissing PFC's so obviously they get the blankets and us at the rear get completely shafted, so Tony and I have been sharing a sleeping bag for warmth. Conditions are awful, and deviating from the trail is a big no-no. We're only here for hardware supplies and nothing more. A couple of guys in the back of the convoy tried stopping at a Radioshack for some equipment for our ham shack up in Rockford but the CO stepped in and beat the shit out of them. I'm getting sick of that dude. He's a total asshole and I KNOW he's responsible for Matthew's death. Everyone does, he knows it too. I'll get him one day. For now, we just go back and forth, picking up nuts and bolts and putting them in garbage bags, taking them back to the rendezvous point, rinse, and repeat for weeks on end. God.

Lone Fort State

The Flag of the Lone Fort State

The Lone Fort State is a Republic primarily based in Texas but has power in New Mexico,Oklahoma,Arkansas and Western Louisiana Areas. As the Southern Hald of the State was spared from the Ashfall and the rest of the state was located within the southern Outer Ashlands. Forged from the Chaos that was the Eruption, The Lone Fort State expanded into surrounding areas.

## History of the Lone Fort State

The Lone Fort State originated as an allance between the forces of a former preacher and a former oil magnate, and quickly evolved into a paramilitary organization, taking control of several Texan oil refineries and infrastructure, allowing it the economic means to evolve into one of the strongest post-rupture nation-states, quickly enveloping the remains of Texas and much of the surrounding area. Currently, their army, the Texas Expeditionary Forces, is attempting to expand into Louisiana and the Outer Ashlands.

## Government

Within the Lone Fort State, they looked on its past to show how to better server the Lone Fort State, It is a Consitutional Republic with its Capital Located in Pre-Eruption Austin. The Republic has a total of 23 representatives from each of the districts within the LFS.
Saint Francois Mountain Range

## **The Range**

The St. Francois mountain range is a small gathering of mountains located mostly in the Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri. It continued to be heavily wooded and populated after the eruptions at Yellowstone

## **Faction Affiliations**

The mountain range is home to the minor faction CSF. The CSF uses the mountain range as their location and shelter of their multitudes of bases that they use as safe havens and trading posts.

Both the TEF (Texas) and the TEF (Tennessee) have affiliations with the range, as they often trade and use the CSF as a secure, neutral middleman betweeen the two major factions.
The San Jose Shantytown

20 years post YS
The first thing I had to get used to was the noise. I doubt there was a noisier place in the Outer Ashlands - certainly not the wastes I was used to patrolling in the Mojave Union. They had sent me here, handing me a pile of papers and a similarly paper-thin backstory. I was a “caravanner”, as they were called, bound from New San Jose up to San Francisco. The guards suspected me, of course, but my papers were quality work. I still see them watching me, though… So there I was, fresh in from San Jose. I mean, you could smell the ash on me. If there are two things you need to know about San Francisco, they’re that it’s loud, and it’s big.
Coming from the wastes such as I was, and being barely old enough to remember the eruption that made the world the mess that it is today, the thought that any building could be much more than three stories was a new one for me. Here, though, the shantytown that had grown seemed to touch the sky. Clinging to the edges of crumbling skyscrapers, the wooden structures seemed like they were about to collapse at any moment - and indeed some of them did, with some poor fucker’s house shearing off the rest and going tumbling down to the ground. Usually someone would come around to pick up the body, but in my time there I would see some corpses that had clearly been there for a month or more. Initially, it made me wonder why they didn’t just live inside the skyscrapers, but I soon learned that the interiors of those giant structure were filled with machinery of all kinds, pumping out all kinds of goods to trade. The houses had been created so that the workers could easily commute to these sweatshops without having to navigate the streets below. In fact, given the huge number of walkways stretching precariously between shantytown towers, it seemed like most residents never touched the ground. The other side effect of these sweatshops, in combination with the huge mass of humanity all stacked in one place, was that during the day, the noise in some of the more crowded areas of town was almost unbearable. The thumping of heavy machinery, coupled with whistles, merchants shouting in any of a hundred languages, and the noise of the shanties combined to produce a pulsating, almost sexual rhythm that the whole city seemed to revolve around. Combined with flickering neon lights and an abundance of cheap, loose women, the effect was intoxicating.
Compared to the wastes of the Mojave, you can hardly blame me for wanting to stay. And if it weren’t for the jackbooted thugs that ran the place, I would have felt almost guilty for plotting to burn the whole place down.

Day 84 in the Grey.

Day 84 in The Grey, day 284 of deployment tour, 13th Alaskan Highlander Battalion. many of the men are tired after trudging through the Grey for 84 days straight. No survivors found in the area we were sent to explore. Barley any loot, mostly remnants and personal belongings of the days before the Ash fell. A private from alpha company lost it when he saw a small glint of sunlight the other day. Because we weren't hit by The Ash, most people still see the sun even if it's the middle of winter. It was the first ray of sun we saw sense we entered the Grey. Our secondary objective is to make contact with the T.E.F. Hopefully we find them soon so we can get out of this ash filled hell
