DBWI: Ever been to the zones?

I was curious if anyone has gone to one of the zones of alienation? I know the government says they are safe but around Los Francisco not many are willing to go near them.
 
This is because those Alienated Proletarians are mean! They create street gangs and have a very high crime rate. So, yes I have. Never know what aggressive beggars and vagrants can do in a fight, or what diseases they've got.

(OOC: How is this a DBWI again? It seems like South-Central Los Angeles)

I've been several times. Take the proper equipent, and you avoid any spots where the radiation is too high. But after seven years, things are begining to disappate. I know a lot of people don't agree with it, but Zone Hunters have been operatin there for years. Flesh and bone may decompose, but jewlrey and money and drugs and wide-screen tvs are forever. Not to mention there's at least a couple of small banks most of whose owners died in the catyclysm, so never sent anyone in to retrieve what's in their vaults.

It's still not quite for the faint of heart though, and other Zone Hunters aren't above robbing you or worse if they get a chance. But it's like f-ing disney world down there right now. Within a year, I bet most of the good shit is gone.
 
I got out everyday, with the Zone Rangers. We take a heavy suppy of RadX, and keep all the seals in our armor sealed and in an emergency seal loss, duct is a lifesaver.

As for the Zone Hunters, the Zones are off limits to everyone but authorized government personel. Alot of the Zonies complain about us coming in there and rousing them out of their shanty towns, but if we didn't do it, it would be the UNGOV military, and they aren't known to be the gentlest of people.

Well I've heard of the crime and everything but out here in California most of our concern is not looters, or Zonies as you all call them, but those who refused to leave the area. There is not a lot of them obviously, but those who are around have had the better part of a decade hording food, and weapons.

I never really had a problem with the Zone Rangers, but I have noticed you've stepped up your patrols. It's forcing some Hunters to venture deeper in the zone to gather loot. Some have even claimed to have seen ground zero with their own eyes. (I guess those folks can afford a king's ransom of Rad X)

I do wish you guys would just leave us be though. It's not like we're hurting anybody. Nobody who lived in the zone before seven years ago is alive and well today. And Hunters tend to give sentimental items back to any survivors....at a a vastly reduced rate mind you. Okay, so having a lot a pissed off survivors pointing your fingers at you all the time isn't good for business...and their some rather unscrouplous Hunters. Still, there's a lot of faker claiming to be relatives of the victims as well, however. It isn't our fault no one's been able to get the instanet up and running again yet, so he we check and make sure whose wbo for real without a thorough investigation!

But for the most part, we're just a bunch of guys risking our necks to put food on our families' table. And I most emphaticall assure you I have no affiliation with 'The University' and the 'Wyld Men' in the Zone.

Sure, some Hunters have run goods and supplies to the Universty, and the Wyld Men. But most would prefer to shoot those respnsibles for the cascade than help them!

The problem is, all the salvage is being identified, categorized and sorted to appropriate dispensing stations. Those that can be indentified and matched with a survivor or a next of kin are sterilized and reunited with it's owner.

The rest is used to finance the policty of the Zones. I know alot of you Zonies want nothing but a decent life, but the problem is, too many of you're scum-sucker citizens are causing problems.

I've only fired my rifle once, and I hope I never have to fire it again.

The University and the Wyld Men are notorious criminals, and are treated as such whenever caught. The second time I caught the same Wyld Man raping a Zonie girl, I was forced to take what little protective gear he had, and roll him down a the side of a mountain into a Level 5 Deep Zone. I doubt he lasted more than a week down there, before his body gave out on him.

Like I said earlier, if we can't keep at least a modicum of control over the zones, the UNGOV military will be in there like lions on a gazelle.

Remember the Zone Ranger Motto "To Quarantine, and Protect"
 
Bah, you guys are all wusses. I've been in the zone tons of times. Hell, I'm planning another expedition in a couple months. The haul I got last time paid off my college load (boy, did that end up being a waste of money). Just stay on your toes, have a group of trusted buddies to watch your back, a high-powered rifle, plenty of ammo and you'll be fine. Military experience or training is a must.

This is exactly why the Zone Rangers exist, we got people looting the remains of people, taking their surviving relatives rightful property.

I'm waiting for one of you idiots to try and see what's under the concrete at the old reactor sites. That'll be the day the UNGOV military decides to assume complete control over the Zones, that'll be a fun day for all of you Zonies then, huh?

Dear God, I hope that never happens. There's way too much black-market plutonium floating around the world as it is. I don't even want imagine what would happen if some Canadian separatists got a hold of the stuff.:(

Relax. I ain't suicidal; we stay the fuck away from reactors. And do you honestly think that I loot corpses? This ain't an RPG! Not only do I have a heart, all the easily collected stuff was gone long before I arrived. Most of what I bring back is scrap, like old wiring, computer boards with gold, parts for vehicles that aren't made anymore and the like.

And if you think I'm the worst? Hell, you haven't seen anything. I only go into the Zone once every couple months; it's a hobby more than anything else. I prefer to think of myself as a modern day explorer. The worst of the lot are the Squatters. They virtually live in the Zone, killing everyone that isn't one of them. And they aren't homeless, poor, or those that refused to leave. No, these people are more like barbarians. I've heard rumors of cannibalism.
 
If you avoid the places that are most radioactive, the zones are not as dangerous as they might seem. Just be real careful who you look at the wrong way, and pack heat. Don't even consider going anywhere near the reactors unless you wanna die a slow, painful death.
