Retcon that the android picked up Denzen instead.
The PCs destroy some large hostile androids.
Enter Aran Nanoq, male elf combat medic for the arcology FD.
He has a cool hover skiff.
Aran offers to hire the PCs for a total of 100k if they can solve where these "grendroids" are coming from. (yay this is turning into a 200k mission to Alaska!)
The PCs agree and give aliases, Ardric => Dorian, Charles => Roach, Denzen => Bilbo Baggins.
Aran offers some supplies before they go south into the wilderness to investigate.
The only thing to the south is an abandoned US military radio tower called Silvertower.
The group also purchases some supplies from off the net, notably two drones, listed below.
6:00 pm
Back to Garra's Harold Street Pub to rest and get Big Mac to bring along.
2062-09-25 06:00, everyone wakes up to head out
Somewhere along the path they run into a group of travelers
Gary (probably human), an ork, a troll named Grimace, 2 elves
They were making enough noise for the PCs to find, but they seem to have all their coms in faraday cages
One of them is a death mage
The PCs pretend to be surveying the area
Gary offers 1k for a photo of someone they're tracking for a bounty, Gavin of Askkon Inc.
The PCs continue along the trails until they reach an avalanche. They decide to climb it, but Big Mac fails, takes 34 damage, and suffers exposure to the cold.
It started hailing outside.
Find a nearby cave and camp for a short rest.
10:30 am
