Oblivion

 Sanctuary for all and a Hell to most

"Terminus—those who arrive survive. Follow the tracks to the point where all lines intersect. There are maps at the crossings to help guide you with your journey. Sanctuary for all. Community for all. Those who arrive, survive. Terminus, sanctuary for all. Community for all."

The voice of the woman echoed the room as they entered. "Hello." Rick said, startling the woman who sat at the desk. Her headphones came off and she leaned back to look towards the intruders. "Hello." Rick said louder, so the others in the room would see them.

A guy rolled his eyes and sighed. "Well, I bet Albert is on perimeter watch." He says, with annoyance. He walks from behind his art table and stands before them.

"You here to rob us?" He asks

"No." Rick said. "We wanted to see you before you saw us."

"Makes sense. Usually we do this where the tracks meet." He clears his throat. "Welcome to Terminus. I'm Gareth. Looks like you guys have been on the road for a good bit. And with a child. Couldn't have been easy."

"It wasn't." Bambi says. Holding Ace a little tighter.

"We have." Rick says. "Rick. That's Carl, Daryl, Bambi, and Michonne."

"Bambi, huh?" Gareth muses. Bambi rolls her eyes.

"Gareth, huh?" Bambi mocks back. Daryl smiles proudly. "It's a nick name for friends and Family."

"Right. Hi. You guys are nervous. I get it. I do. We were all the same way. We came here for sanctuary. That what you're here for?" He asks

"Yes." Rick answered.

"Good. You've found it. Hey, Alex. This isn't as pretty as the front. We got nothing to hide, but the welcome wagon is a whole lot nicer. Alex will take you guys. Ask you a few questions. But uh, first, we need to see everyone's weapons. If you could just lay them down in front of you."

The group shared a look. Rick gave a quick nod and placed his gun on the ground. "All right." He says.

"I'm sure you understand."

"Yes I do." Rick said, as Gareth moved forward, he began to check Rick as Alex went immediately over to Daryl. Bambi held Ace as she watched. She sent a look to Michonne and the woman gave her a nod.

"Hate to see the other guy." Alex said, in relation to Daryls black eye.

"You would." Rick says.

"They deserve it?" He asked, as he frisked Carl.

"Yes." He answered.

"Just so you know, we aren't those kind of people . But we aren't stupid either. And you shouldn't be stupid enough to try anything stupid. As long as everyone's clear in that, we shouldn't have any problems. Just solutions." Gareth nodded and left.
Alex, moved and picked up Michonne sward and handed it to her. He went to grab Daryl's bow, but he was quicker and grabbed it himself. Bambi smiled and grabbed her own knifes from the ground.

"Follow me." Alex said. He led them outside. The door squeaked as he pushed it open.

"So how long's this place been here?" Daryl asked.

"Since almost the start. When all the camps got overrun, people stated finding this place. I think it was instinct, you know? Follow a path. Some folks were heading to the coast, others out west or up north, but the all wound up here." Alex stopped near a woman.

"Hi." She said with a smile. "Heard you came in the back door. Smart. You'll fit right in here." She said, as she grilled.

"Hey, Mary, would you fix each one of these new folks a late for me?"
