(Yes it does.)

"Ah... Yeah...Um, can I get a moment" Syphon said as he arose from the hard floor. A massive headache and Xzo waiting. Standing at his face, he looked a mess. Hair scrambled in every direction, 5 o'clock shadow. He lit up a cigarette and began to get his mind together. He sat down at his desk, motioning for his odd acquintance to take a seat. He did.

"Now let me get this...Xzo... Your supposed to just waltz up in Darkwood... Ramblin' all this who-ha...? I'm supposed to believe you, uh?" Syphon said sternly, trying to make a point.

"Yes."

"So that so?", Syphon now looked on with a "are you serious" face.

"If you do not trust me and allow me to help you out... Well thats your choice, I guess. But with my aid of wisdom and experience I can guide you to where you want to go" Xzo said calmy, staring deeply into Syphon's eye.

"Hm... Well your going to have to give me your word. I don't want you to brainwash my men. They get shit down. And they listen to me. I don't need a group of hard working men to just start holly-gagging about some mystical fairytale. You just keep them safe and work your magic. Understand, pal?" Syphon said, exhaling a goblet of words. Words from a man with no room for failure.

"I understand". Xzo said briefly.

Xzo's complete, subtle confidence gave Syphon an eerie feeling.

"Aw... What the hell. I'll have Leon work with ya, he's a bright kid. Here's your pelts" Syphon said, handing Xzo two pelts. "Come back when you need some more". Syphon now had the door open, with Xzo outside.

"What about my workplace? I require a house", Xzo shot back.

"I'll have some of my boys build you a shanty...", Syphon said as he shut the door. He was irratable and hungover. Xzo just stood outside, jerked his shoulders and walked away.
 
(( Sorry on not doing it yesterday, was well, not feeling to well ^^ anyways time to do now =) ))

As the day is going by everyone is finaly getting done with their works. The brothers are just done with the trenchline wich they seems pretty proud at. Leon is taking of to be ats Xzo's side, wich he seems quite excited over. Meanwhille Mitch heads over to the wall and helps Jamal and Derrick to finish it up. It all goes smothly and the wall is done within notime. After they have finished up the wall they head over to the area were there were a good spot for a small house and starts to construct it up. Jamal decides to head over to the newcomers to the city and have them come over and help out building the house up, wich now goes on im a rapid speed. After about two days the house is done and they are all proud of the sucess of the house.

The night is about to come, Xzo have started to get it homey in his house and the others are having a rest, drinking some and just relaxing... But as the hours goes by Keith sees some big scary looking birds fly by, they land just outside the outpost and starts to walk around. Keith is not slow to tell Syphon about what he saw happening outside the outpost.

(( All I can do now Im afraid, this day wasn't the best day for me, and if id be writing a book id not be writting at all today =) But I though I had to do my best get something atleast :) ))
 
Hearing about this immense threat, gave Syphon a panicked look. It was hard to come up with a safe-solution but their wasn't.

"It's airborne. Alright its time for lock down. Everyone goes inside. I don't care if it cramped, get food for a days. If anyone leaves, they get a bullet. This is fuckin' serious shit!" Everyone hears from Syphon. He is dead ****ing serious. The entire population gets moving inside, bringing in meat coolers and water jugs. As attention leaves him, he walks over to Jamal.

"Your comin' with me, grab some meat and drink and put it in my office...", Syphon instructs."And bring the .406, with some extra clips". In 5-minutes everyone is inside, scattered among the houses.

Inside the office, Syphon and Jamal sat by the window. It slight crack and the rifle barrel stickin' through.

"Shoot them all!" Syphon utters. Jamal does in seconds, but now the body is a problem.

"Now go burn em." Syphon says as he hands Jamal a molotov cocktail that he made while he was bored at work. Jamal looks bummed but he does it anyway. Within minutes he returns, quickly washing his hands in whiskey alcohol.
 
Everyone stays inside the rest of the days in fear of what could have happend out of these birds. As night comes they have some drink and meat as its needed, the nervs of some people are at the edge. Some hours into the night the last man finaly manages to fall asleep.

Next morning as they look out, they sees three new black birds coming down, but they are not staying long, they just brings their dead with them. (the bones) (these three looks a lot healthier then the previues ones did)) Syphon takes out his binoculars and watches the birds as they are about to leave the horisont. But right at the edge, they see the birds diging a hole with their claws to perhaps bury remains of the dead birds. And as he sees that it hits him, might be thats this disease are only carried over if you eat the body of a diseade animal. He seems more and more certain. He did after all see the different between the diseaded ones and the healthy ones. And the fact that they burried the remains, if its that what he saw, makes him atleast somewhat more confident about it. (1) Will you take the risk and belive its only thru eating it, and thus carry on with normal life. Or will you stay home and try figure a way to be more sure?

(Previus in Blackdust. Expectacilar amount of debris were cleared out and the following resources were granted: 31 Stone, 27 Iron and 13 Wood)

((Sorry on this little, and not much to move from, but lets get out of this and some new and fresh stuffs will come :) ))
 
Apon waking up in his office, Syphon and Jamal look across the outpost in silence. No movement. Just silence. Jamal looks back at Syphon, eyebrows raised. "Now what?".

"I think we're safe, but I'm not sure. Wake everyone and tell them its safe. If we see any signs of infections in anybody, their getting quarantined. Immediately!" Syphon instructed, Jamal nodding his head in agreement. He walked outside, going from shanty to shanty. In a few moments, the whole outpost was outside. They were waiting for a speech.

"Hey everybody. We had a scare, uh?" Syphon said trying to lighten the mood a bit. "It seems we are safe... for now. But I believe that we can strengthen our chance next time if we can detect these kinds of things earlier and take action. But I need ya'lls help, too." Life goes back to normal.

Syphon instructs Keith and Roger to start building the available house(as you mentioned in a previous post about evaluating buildings). Req. 200 wood.

Syphon tells everyone that he is going to Blackdust, him and Derrick. The reason is, he wishes to meet the leader and see if he can hash up any political favors.
 
(( Sorry on not posting in a bit, ive had a lil low on time... still have Im afraid... so Ill do the 1,2,3 model just this time, as it goes faster :))

RESULTS OF YOUR ACTIONS

1) Some debris were cleared out and you recive 7 Wood, 14 Stone and 16 Iron. There is some few left to get, but its getting less.

2) Your mens starts to work on the two houses, wich they work hard and fruitfull on. The works finishs up nicly after about 6 days of hard work, good cooperation and a great leader of the project made this go so well. (I hope there is no problem I let everyone work on it, coz well, no use of letting people do nothing, eh? :P)

THINGS THAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION

1) Nothing atm, everything goes smothly, Syphon and Derrick is away doing their stuffs, and the city is going on with a nice touch. (perhaps more will happend with they return =))
 
(Will anybody important ever come into the city, like a mechanic or a wielder. Medic, maybe? A crazy researcher. Albino twins victimes of multiple personality syndrome.)

1. Have 3 men completely clear out the city. Future plans will be to improve city life.

2. Convert the one of the new houses into a Saloon. Here poker tables and craps will be laid out for recreation use. Have one of the men made permanently into a Barkeep. (I'll need a budget made apon usage of the saloon so I can import booze for the patrons business.) The other house will also be converted, but this time, it'll be for the sick. Though, no extensive medical diagnosis can be given, they can at least be cared for and rested here.
 
(( Actualy, Xzo was a attempt of that, though I belive a failure :P Anyways, Ill do a doubleturn now to straighten it up (well, as Ive missed some days here or there I think its okay to do one) reason its a double turn its coz 1 week ain't enough to have it. And I think it will be a lot smother with 1,2,3 model here too :)))

1) The 3 men are sent to clear out the city, and after 6 days they are totaly done, the city is cleared out. You find 18 Wood, 37 Stone, 33 Iron.

2) As well in the meantime you start to convert the houses. First one goes into a saloon. And are decorated with tables and such. Even a bar disk are built up. Durring the work here, the newcomers Jack and Oliver helped out very much as they wanted to thank for their new home. (35 Wood. 40 Stone and 25 iron were used in the construction). The other house are converted into a medical little medical center. (55 Iron and 10 wood)

3) Meanwhille Xzo and Leon were out on a trip, taking Mitch with them, as they are good brothers who like to hang out togheter. Durring this trip they came upon a quite civilazed city wich had good tech of the varius kinds. Whille in this city they got in touch with a man called Hyrois. It came out this man hold a clinic of his on in the city, though the had a competition wich were getting larger attention from the city it self, so he didn't get to much of patients. So after Leon and Mitch told him about the peacefull town of Darkwood Hyrois got very intrested and decided to take his stuffs with him and take of togheter with Mitch, Leon and Xzo back to this place. Though durring the night before department back home, Xzo told the mens he had decided to move on, after meeting another one of his kind in the tavern of the city. (Xzo have his coffert and critter with him here, so its not left in Darkwood) So Leon, Mitch and Hyrois went back by them self to Darkwood.

4) Upon returning back to Darkwood Leon reliced he had the shanty Xzo had, all by him self now. And in there it were some various raw matrial to produce different drinks and even drugs. Leon who were though a bit from Xzo up to this date decided that with his brother Mitch they now were to open up a store, drugclinic/drinks. Leon only knew the more basic stuffs of herbalism and such though, but still he know a fairly good bit to start creating some nice stuffs. He starts to learn Mitch what he knows asap and they go to work with their new store. (And this store will be a begining of your economy. ) Though they finds it quite small and hard to work in, so durring 3 days they take help of 3 people (total 5) to extend the house in the back with a nice stone construction (50 Stone, 25 Wood)

Summary:
Xzo - Gone
Leon, Mitch - Drugclinic, Drinks, Store.
Hyrois - Medical Center
Oliver - Saloon (hopes its okay I put Oliver there :P, he really wanted to do it.)
 
(Who's Oliver. I forgot.I'm sorry I'm always forgeting shit it's just that well, my life is very busy and some sorry-to-say, unimportant issues get lost in my head.)
 
(( Jack and Oliver are Shaka's old pals from the gang. They weren't named until now, so well, its a bit hard remembering something ya newer knew :P))
 
(So is Hyrois with me now? Syphon hasn't returned with Derrick from Blackdust yet. Due to the massacre of UFOians. So I'm leaving Roger as leader.)

"Damn, I wonder when he's comin' back...", Jamal said as sat at the card-table. Roger, Keith and Aaron sat all sides. Booze and cigarettes lit, all the men considerably drunk and considerably high.

"Aw, don't worry man. Derrick's looking after him", Keith said. Roger remained silent, head kept down. He was still bummed about Shaka and with his long-time friend, Syphon, gone he seems anxious to know if hes Dead or Alive.

"Hey' I'm going out for duty, see ya!" Aaron said as he stood up and left. He was only 19- and his family was gone. He was a bright kid, brave and noble. With a chisled sicilian face, he looked like a Roman emporer in a previous life.

"See ya, bud!", Jamal said as he drew his round of cards.
 
(( Sorry that I can't figure anything cool to writte... but I promess, Ill figure something cool when syphon returns=) ))
 
Jamal and Derrick are alone on the rooftop of Syphon's office. Its night, and the cold desert wind breezes softly. Complete Silence.

"Do you think we're gonna make it?", Derrick asked, looking over onto the horizon, smoking his cigarette slowly.

"What'dya mean?", Jamal said back, who was looking over the town from the top. Most of everybody was inside, he could see Roger puking inbetween the Saloon and the Medical Center.

"Ya see that?" Jamal said pointing at the now-on his knees fellow puking into some grass patch. Derrick looked and smiled. He looked back at his tall, black friend.

"So do ya?".

"I don't know man. Maybe God wants us to help. Maybe God will take us tomorrow. Just don't think about it man." Jamal said hopping onto the rooftop ledge and down a ladder. Derrick followed.
 
And so it went on for a day or two. Nothing happening, just life who went on like normal. Everything have been going fine for a long whille, but the air didn't seem the same. Trouble were ahead.

Everyone felt it. And with this feeling the day went past, people knowing something wasn't right. And... in the night, some hours before the sun would rise again, it happend, in the horisont, something came rushing in a terrible way.

Don't knowing what it is, beliving it will be there in notime, your men will have to akt. Make your call, coz there is not much time to do it in.
 
Jamal and Derrick co-leads their men to battle.

"Take to the fuck'n trenches!", Derrick shouts to the men, all following to the trenches as they raise their weapons. Jamal is in the center of the trench, Keith and Roger to the left, Leon even came to the fight.

"Prepare to fire!", Jamal yells from the frontline.
