Scavengers in the area report finding a large stash of plastic grey masks buried just down the hill from the combat site. Sources at the various Bars are reported to be ecstatic, especially since no responsibility has been claimed so no-one needs to pay out on any bounties or info gathering missions.\\ | ||
