Ziggy grunted. She only half believed Ayita truth be told. Ziggy liked knowing what was going on and having all the information. She'd never be caught with her pants down again, not like that day she met Ayita and was rammed off the road by those people posing as police. The angelic runes she bore on her skin over her scars were a testament to that.
"Let's just go." Ziggy said to Ayita and Cam. She then got in the Abamo, starting it and waited for everyone else to get in before driving it to the train.
About an hour later Ziggy had moved the Abamo on a flatbed car, and had positioned herself behind a few sandbags, her sniper rifle resting on it as she scanned the horizon for any sign of trouble, dead or living or otherwise. It seemed the best place for her to be while the others loaded up or prepared for the trip.
"Well, the long range radio is no go." Brody said from inside the Abamo. "I expected as much truth be told. Maybe when we get closer to home."
"Man oh man imagine us rolling up with all these people." Thomas said. "Mallory said to bring her back something nice but I don't think a few hundred people is what she meant by that!"
Ziggy shook her head grinning. "Guys, we're bringing her a functioning train." she spoke. "I'm sure that counts as something nice!"
Blake then walked up and climbed on the flatbed, joining them. Ziggy looked at him briefly before bringing her gaze back to the horizon.
"All good here?" Blake asked. "People are all in, we're just loading up some more supplies."
Ziggy then saw movement through her scope in the tall grass. "Hang on, I got something!" she spoke as she waited to see what it was. "Yup, that's a butt! Not sure if living or dead though."
Thomas and Brody took position next to Ziggy, Thomas with a M249 machinegun, Brody an M4 assault rifle and Blake with the hunting rifle he always had with him.
"Definitely human." Ziggy said after observing the target more. "Looks like our mermaid friends are here. I can shoot her tail clean off, just give the word!"
Blake radioed his people that it was time to go. Ziggy just kept her crosshairs fixed on the target. It was time to get this show on the road. Well... rails.
