Two years later, the group had formed a new settlement several miles south of Chicago. After some experimentation, they were able to get a radio beacon going. They’re settlement quickly became a focal point for the rebuilding of mankind. Many other survivors came to the growing city.
Aqizzar became the elected leader of the group, and led them to great success.

Strife sunk into himself, never seeming to recover from the event. The group still conducted periodic forays into Chicago, looking for salvage. One day they found a Grand National. Strife made some mention of it, but they agreed that it wouldn’t do much good for them now. The next morning, Strife, along with one of his cats (the eldest, an old black cat named Joey were gone). Strife took a bike and his two knives. They found the bike near the car dealership where the GN had sat. Strife’s combat knife was belted onto it, inside the sheath was a note saying that it had been grand. The GN was gone, and Strife was never seen from or heard of again.
