Sorry about the late update guys, I was a little busy yesterday. On the bright side, I finally discovered a faster way to upload screenshots so I won't be as lazy with the updates

Can't we refill car batteries with normal batteries anymore? Try to unload the flashlight and use it to fill the car battery.

Opening the hood of the car, you see that the car battery has a slot for ordinary D-size batteries. Having a hunch, you open up the flashlight and sure enough its batteries fit the car's slot perfectly. You insert them and check the battery gauge on the headboard...1%! Its not much, but it should be enough to start the car and at that point, the alternator will take of the rest. You just need gas.

Try opening the front door, if it's locked walk around the building to see if there are open doors or windows. Once inside search for things.

With a quiet click, the door swings open. There are an assortment of goods still lining the white shelves. You decide to gather everything at the counter first, do a count and then take as much you can:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mostly junk food, but you also found two books, one has a picture of a man shooting a bird with a shotgun; the other is a novel, the title reads: "Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad". You've never read it.

You also found a fire extinguisher behind the counter. The pressure gauge indicates that it's intact, though there is a large dent on one end. In any case, you can't possibly carry everything, (you do have enough room for the junk food and the books, however) what will you do?

[Kassire]

Take the food and look for any empty containers

[StrawBarrel]

Pick up the junk food and books. Give the fire extinguisher and other things we can't carry to Glennie (If she can carry them). Try to put gas in the car (Do we have the right equipment to so?).

We would need to get a sealable (Not aluminium cans IIRC, so jerry cans, plastic bottles, glass jars, etc.) container as without gas we cant get the car close enough to the pump to, you know, pump gas into it. I guess we could empty one of the pepper plastic bottles, not like we're setup for cooking anyways.

You put the junk food in your pack and decide to leave the fire extinguisher; you could give to Glennie, but you don't trust her enough. Then you have an idea, the car needs gas and you have an extra bottle of pepper...

You dump the pepper into one of the pockets of your bag, hopefully you can still use it later. You then take the small plastic bottle to one of the gas pumps and fill it up. It takes two trips, but you mange to transfer enough gasoline to start up the car. You put the fire extinguisher in the trunk of the car and carefully advance toward a gas pump. When you get out of the car to fill the tank you see this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Looks like the gasoline tank is punctured. No point in filling it up now. You take the fire extinguisher out of the trunk and give it to Glennie, but she refuses it.

You could kill her.

But, she may have some utility later. You wash the small empty bottle with some water (from the toilet), and fill it up with water (also from the toilet).

As you step outside, you notice a pair of vending machines in front of the station; there is still some food left on the display and the machine (despite all odds) still works.

Unfortunately you don't have a cash card. You look to Glennie;  she shakes her head.

You really could kill her.

What do you do?

[StrawBarrel]

Check around the gas station to see if there berry bushes or fruit trees (in the winter).

[Sheb]

What do we need? We have a pack, food, a working car...

Store all the food in the car, drop everything we don't absolutely need in there. Then let's go loot the mine. There is good loot in the entrance.

To be honest, the biggest problem would to be having something to drink, as food we could easily find by (e)xamining underbrush, we really should go look for more places to ransack that's not dangerous, so let's head north. Along with the fact since it's ordinary water and not clean water from the toilet we'll vomit, morale debuff, and stat decrease. We should live off of junk food and the like OR find a purifier.

The car has a punctured gas-tank, not exactly working-condition per-say.
                                                                                                                                                     
I'd say follow the road north until we find a place of interest, thirst is going to be one of the big killers so we really should find a reliable source of something to drink.

Follow the road north

[High tyrol]

Follow the road north

not until we have checked the map maybe we spotted someplace of interest?

[StrawBarrel]

Take batteries out of the car

[Kassire]

Follow the road north

not until we have checked the map maybe we spotted someplace of interest?

It's either FEMA camp or the Mines, I would say both are dangerous. If we follow the road we may be able to find houses for survival supplies.

You decide to go north and follow the road. After-all what's the worse that could happen?

The strange blue creature is still a ways off, but even from here you can hear crackling emanating from its body. It doesn't sound good.

What will you do?

[Sheb]

Turn back, grab the car, run over the shocker. We don't care if it's bleeding gasoline.
