"AMELIA, don't move," a voice that sounded like the captain's but stressed to the limit commanded. He was holding a laser rifle with a gyroscope-split beam, which she recognized only by the shape of the nozzle.

The man speaking had a helmet with an insignia on the temple. It featured three circles connected by lines, with an S at the top, an L on the left, and a K on the right. She didn't know what it meant, but she stepped down, calm and ready to talk.

"What do you want, Cappy? What did you get yourself into?" she asked. His eyebrows went up, and she could see his eyes. This man was no friend. She had her hand on the rail when another guy held the bar and the door closed. The barkeep was dead, lying behind the stall.

After spotting his crew, she noticed four of them on the left, two on the right, and another standing behind Cappy, who was struggling. He must know something, or he wouldn't be so squeamish.

Said the one holding his chin back, Amelia had been in situations like this a lot lately. Something was going on with the earth; people were losing their minds. When someone attempted to enter the bar, Old Vic Junk Town had been quiet. Whoever these people were, they were not part of the settlements. Amelia held her hands up.

As soon as she did, the minions of this strange man and his crew pulled their rifles up, aiming at her, thinking they could get one over on her. Amelia rolled, or rather ducked, drawing her Western revolver out of her holster.

The ones on the left fired shots at her head, but by the time she rolled back, she had already taken out both of them and the fourth guy on the left. Their leader had ducked behind Cappy to use him as a shield.

The rough outbacker already had a plan, with Cappy shaking his head in fear for some unknown reason. As their leader, or what they thought was the Boss, these raiders seemed well-equipped. The man with the three symbols in the form of a triangle had already ducked out the door and was gone. Then Cappy, who had a belt in his mouth, dry-heaved as the belt was so old he could taste the mould and sweat.

As he got his words straight, he said, "Do you understand what you just did?" She freed him but started getting the idea that he didn't want to be saved.

After he brushed himself off and looked for the other guy's guns, he said, "That man you just shot at is the second commander of the biggest gang in Old Vic. He's holed up in the old Parliament House."

She got the feeling that something was wrong or that she was just about to die, but it faded when she asked, "You mean the Red-Belly-Typan? Is that what RBT means? Shit, they have half the Gold Coast and most of the old NSW." She usually didn't swear, but the words fell out, "Shit."

"Now I get ya," she said, turning her head to look at the barkeep, who was still bleeding out. "He's going back to their hideouts. If you want to fix them, you better hurry. I hear the RBT is this close. There are rumors that they have raided the pre-war government bunkers that are supposedly holding advanced technology."

Cappy nodded. "Yes, and you just picked a fight with them. He would have let me go eventually. He's a tough bastard and doesn't take shit, but he's also surrounded by the biggest gang on the East Coast of Auz."

Amelia gripped her pistol. Her Western revolver was hard to find; she had to scavenge the desert, even though Australia never held weapons in the numbers the USA did. She only had four weapons: two melee, one sniper, and the ivory revolver.

But her skills in combat had grown, and expanding her knowledge was part of her routine.

"So what do we do now? Do they want the mountain? Do they know about it?" Amelia shook her head.

But Cappy nodded. "That's what it was all about. He knows I'm close to uncovering the truth. It's only a matter of time before he either kills us for it or waits for us to take it and then swoops in and clears the place."

Amelia smiled. "There's no way a gang can get into the mountain. Trust me when I say it's impossible." She felt the words come out but didn't expect them to weigh so much.

But Cappy pointed out, "Hey, if anyone can beat the RBT gang, it's you!"

Taking a breath, she realized he was right. She had survived worse than this. The year is 2151. It's been almost 26 years since she heard anything from that mountain. Cappy didn't know what she knew or even seen what she had seen. The only thing he knew was that the mountain held technology. Without thinking, she pulled him in.

After pushing his shoulder, he laughed, but the one who tied up Cappy heard them speaking and reported back to the RBT ring leader, Bossman. Who whispered in Jackson's ear. He was older than all of them, but when he heard the name Amelia, he lifted his head for the first time in 10 years. Dust cracked off his old skin, and his leather-like appearance was scarred from 200 years of battle and fighting the hordes.

"RBT needs you. We won't be able to take the mountain without you," Jackson nodded. He knew things the ring leader didn't. People from all over came to pay homage to his existence. They called him Atom, but he knew he was not actually the conduit of radiation. These people had been worshipping him for a century.

Jack was his old name, and now Atom. The gangs from all over came to him and asked questions, but it had been 10 years since anyone had visited him deep under the old Parliament House in Canberra.

Bossman walked away. His name carried weight among the Eastern Auz gangs, but his true name was lost to the gang. Most people called him Bossman T, Typan. Who waved the man with the Scarecrow black rym hat, who whispered in his ear. Typan T was holding a sledgehammer. Upgraded with welded spikes and a jet on the back, he used the thing rarely, but his gang feared it, just as much as him.

Then, as they walked outside, Typan T closed the doorway. That leads to  Atoms Prophet Jack was breathing slightly chained up like a prisoner. Atom barely spoke to him anymore since they imprisoned him. Insanity never comes, but he feels the hunger grow like a festering darkness, ready to take over.

Typan T jumped into the truck, with its batteries holding enough power to drive across Auz. The drive to the city was 3h away, and by the time they get there, Bossman, do you think they are going for the mountian?

He shook his head,  not unless that knew something we dont, set up forward base next to the steel tower. If anyone attacks you, retreat, wait for me to arrive, i have a plan for that security system.
