I think Hobo Sign is definitely cool in it's own right, and I know it's how Respites get marked.

I was imagining this as a pretty open-source thing, coming from a rational and humanitarian place. (Ie. it's nice in general to help people, but we sure as hell don't want more Vectors in the neighbourhood.) Could even be an initiative from a Black Math group who's taking the long view: the more people are healthy and alive wandering the Loss, the more C's they'll eventually kill.

I'm chewing on the idea of a group deliberately adding information to the Loss, who gives out bonuses in exchange for Ubiq posts or spraypainted warnings.

Perhaps it's the Moths, perhaps it's a well-meaning non-profit or Believer group. If you mark, say, three sufficiently scary Legs, you could have a small bonus in Bounty or rep spots.

URGNT: need 9mm clip/ration/water drone dropped 39° 16' 28.2864'' N

2B + supply fee. Good for it now or crypto. Help

Sorry Owl, drone delivery is not my deal, I am not great with those things I had one once, tried using it to drop some ordnance on some Cs, couldn't get it out of the blast fast enough because I crashed against a lamp post.

This is horrible.  Why does everyone have to lie to you?  Isn't the world bad enough off without everyone willing to kill you just for a meal?

I guess I shouldn't be too hard on them.  Until two weeks ago, i've been nearly gnawing my arm off with hunger.  Today, at least, I have a full belly, and maybe tomorrow too.


So I met up with some of these freelancers in 10K lakes.  I don't know the lingo really yet, but the negotiator comes out and says that he's made a deal, and none of us really know what's going on.  But he says we got four legs to go in order to try to turn back on a pipeline that's part of some Nat Gas deal. 

So we hit the road, and I try to get to know everyone, but nobody wants to talk, and I get why.  Everyone's all 'to survive we must protect ourselves from forming bonds.'   But that's not how it works, not in the long run.  We need each other, now more than ever.  Now that there's a ton less politics, and pointless arguments, maybe we can finally be more than this nonsense we've become.  But anyway, they're not too chatty with me.  One of them just grunted and called me Latent anytime he needed me to do anything.

Guy's a jackass.

And things are normal, meaning weird.  We saw some Cs roped to a cart of some kind, my guess is that it was supposed to be easy transport. No arms, no mouths.  But it didn't work out that well for the driver, looks like he died of...well my guess is botulism brought on by tainted food.  We dropped the Cs and raided the place, buuut not much there worth salvaging.  I did find an MP3 player, so that was nice.

Saw some wildlife, I always kinda like it when I see something natural still roaming about.  Like birds.  I mean, most of them seem to be doing okay, at least the ones that aren't scavengers...weren't scavengers.  It's refreshing.

The job itself was okay I guess, I mean this contact we found was just trying to lure us into some sort of weird slavery camp.  We got caught, and stripped of gear for three days before we snuck out.  Most of us lost our guns in the process, but at least we got that pipe turned back on.  Thats a full belly and a new pistol for me maybe...

that's essentially how we've been using electronic charges. spend a ubic charge and your good for that seen unless whatever your using says otherwise.
