As it was, a full thirty scavengers came with him to the meeting point at $87,953, proudly proclaiming they were the Burb Council. The Doctor figured showing up in the Burbs would be a sign of goodwill, as would the free food that Roy served. Clyde nearly had a heart attack and insisted on half a dozen armed guards as an escort. They sat at a long table, The Doctor, Marcus, Clyde and the guards on one side, the scavenger, his girl, and his entourage on the other. Marcus wondered why the kid always seemed to tag along for everything. Roy and his help busied themselves serving everyone a vague approximation of pizza made with goat’s cheese and mutton. Clyde started the conversation, exaggerating the city arsenal’s power and how if the Righteous Horde attacked they’d be decimated, how they’d be stuck out in the Burbs with no food and no way to get into the city. After a few days they’d leave just like all the other groups that had failed to take New City.
