Nice to make your aquaintance.. pull up a seat - we'll be at the Ballastor mines thisevening if there isnt a hitch..
Afternoon leg-stretching, bites to eat and the roadkill contest nets a raccoon - you think..
Evening draws in with a few miles to go, lights on,
BOOYYooNNgg - something metal hits the (hardened) windscreen
Lucille jams on the anchors -
Guys - lets have a look - two in, two out.. something should be back on the road - a dustbin lid size..
She pumps up the floodloghts, and turns two headlights down the sides of the bus. There are hand-beamers available to light your way...

she pulls out her ruger superwarhawk and uses her low light vision she stays in the bus looking out, to see if she can see anything.

Once you've been up an down these roads - its much the same - thats why they play the roadkill game.. low brush and bush backed onto by tall fir and pine - and deeper in, real big stuff, that loggers drool over. The acidic soil keeps off a lot of vegetation, but surprisingly the stuff continues to thrive.
You got lights! but in the forest cover, it is still hard to see..
I think it was a bin-lid, a dull black binlid ...it dropped out of the sky and bounced off the windscreen .. hell of a whack. If the screen was not layered, it would have smashed through, an we'd be in the ditch
Outside you can see where the bus whacked on the anchors, so just before thayt would have been the impact.. good place to search form...
Next person to post, please roll five dice for a team perception, to see what you can see.

If there was debris - you would have seen it - there does not seem to be much around - you play the beams around the tyremark area, nothing disturbed coming out of the bush , no tell-tale signs on the road. A mystery!
The area up ahead is well lit by the bus floodlights trees and bugs. Was that something big and black just dipping over the trees..? no heat sig you could notice.
CLimb back on the bus, wheres everyone sitting? windows 1- front to 6-rear L & R sides - the end is stocked up with crates and cartons. 1R is the doors 1L is the Drivers side window.
Flat on the floor is not an option..
Usually, Lucille L1 Four-Eyes up at R2 Fryer R3 Hunter L4 Nina L3 to chat to everyone.. Youve all checked the panes next to you, they are hardened.
three minutes after you have set off - Lucille slows the bus - illuminated in the lights is a black dustbin lid just off to the right hand side of the road. It is a donut heli drone size of a tyre. The motor is warm. The bus draws to 40 yards and the thing takes off, hovvering wobbly
Slung beneath it is a shotgun barrell, that clicks and opens fire three shots at the windscreen - the drone sways with the minimal recoil. Even with a superb shot, it is not getting through - but it is a little disconcerting to have sparks batter off the glass in front of you as you watch
Bloody thing - there go my wipers!
Licille accellerates towards the donut angrily (another 3-4 rounds and she could ram it..!)
Realising you are safe inside - well, mostly what do you want to do?

"Fraggin' drone.." Four-Eyes reached for his revolver, all the while lowering his window, before taking a single aimed shot at the flying hunk o' junk.

Awww.. an I dont even get to shoot at speed. stoopid drone takes a slug through the casing, theres a pop and a small flash, followed by the heap of junk hitting the tarmac with a hollow clunk.
You could mount it on your wall... stuffed..
Four-Eyes has shot himself a drone. WIth a whoop you investigate it... prodding does nothing , a smell of ozone in the air where the rotor blade engine has fused. It has no power.
Anyone know anything about drones? Electronics or computer skills will identify the parts. a shotgun mounted below, with a 50 hopper. bout 30-40 left.
Looks quite neat.. theres a dent in its front casing with a fleck of yellow bus paint.
It is dark now, with only a few miles to go.....

Four-Eyes came closer to the drone, flashlight and weapon at ready. Seeing it went to meet his tech-maker, he began to study it.

Scarab corp - see.. underneath the drone is the company name embossed into the plastic shell.
Looks quite fast, little armour, it may have been damaged by whacking into the bus.
Quite old, some newer upgrade components installed recently - see...
You take the shell apart by the heavy clips and some ignorance, exposing the internal cuircuitry. Sure enough the newer parts gleam.
Some sort of control components , wired onto the guidance - we can look these serial numbers up....
You heft the drone parts onto the bus it weighs around 12 kilos about the weight of a tyre - mostly motor for the blades .. Lucille scowls at it.

After loading the drone in (and pocketing a few shotgun shells), Four-Eyes caught a glimpse of Lucille, not looking too happy. He took 2 pieces of gum and advance toward her all-friendly looking "Hey Lucille, for some barren land, 'seems it's kinda well-guarded..So, know anything about a rigger hangin' 'round here?..Or that Scarab corp..coudl be the maker, could be the owner too..whoever owns that flyin' hunk o' junk might get mad, but then again he did shoot first, only normal we reacted back...we'll dump it at town, maybe get a few 'yen for parts, good gas money..So, got any thoughts on that?"
