Any luck assuming control of the other?

One security UAV inbound- 3 minutes. This pair was using a different encryption pattern- still working on breaking it.

Lana? How much further is the place? Should I have taken that left turn at Albuqureque?
Re: Apophos 2042
Just ahead, boss. The second possible supply stop is a salvage yard. It's quickly apparent that there are no usable part here- it's all passenger vehicles. Not even a wrecker on site.
Meanwhile, back at the mall, the security truck makes a high-speed entrance from the south end of the parking lot. It quickly homes in on SamanEric's truck, and moves in, firing 3-round bursts that (so far) are going wide of the truck and the folks gathered there.

"Nothing at the second location, heading to final location now."
"How is everything at the truck?"
Axel searches on the radio for any driving music.

Re: Apophos 2042
At the mall: Breeze's Guide plays a sudden fanfare that sounds like it was lifted from one of the Mario games. I got him! This guy is ours, now.
The security vehicle stops firing and eases forward, backing into a gap in the rubble.
Axel; No music to be found, just an automated broadcast directing people to 'the launch site' in Lawton Oklahoma. Your Guide saysWe may have a bingo!
The third possible supply location is another truck repair facility. This one has a tow truck parked beside a concrete block repair building- not just a tow truck but a heavy recovery vehicle suited for hauling semi trucks.

With the drone under control the man sets it's mission to delaying the larger vehicle on the way and ends it off.
Re: Apophos 2042
Ok, noted.
The security truck rolls out, heading back the way it came, accelerating as it goes.

Re: Apophos 2042
"Hit the motherload guys. I'll be inbound with some options in just a few."
Axel will relay his find, and try and get the tow truck up and running.
If it's easy, he'll hitch up the party bus, and drive to the mall. Otherwise, he'll leave the bus here for now.

Axel's Guide speaks up: If you can put me under the dashboard, I can run a quick diagnostic on this beast.

Re: Apophos 2042
The Guide hums briefly, then says OK. I can get this thing started... but it's gonna drain my onboard powerpack. Just don't leave me here when we get back to the Highway.
The wrecker rumbles, grinds, and then roars to life. Towing the bus seems to be no big deal- the wrecker vibrates with the power generated by the Thundercat V-12 under the hood. Axel is back on the road to the mall within 15 minutes.

Looking around the man stops loading and gets back in his vehicle. Firing up the engine he turns on the air conditioner and turns to his passenger with a wink.
Re: Apophos 2042
Tel gets everything ready for the truck to make the fastest possible change-out of tires and oil pan. They removes all of the old, damaged parts, and arranges the necessary tools, bolts, and so, near each site, so that the replacements can be made quickly. They calls to the others: "If you're handy with a lug-wrench, please be ready to help when the parts show up. If each of us slaps on a tire or two, we can be out of here in seconds."
Once this is done, they continues to help unload gold. Even if they get the truck ready, it seems like a good idea to distribute the loot. They're careful to not overload any of the vehicles, however.

Re: Apophos 2042
*Assuming that the Guide is out of charge now:
Axel drives back to the mall based on memory and any remaining road signs, humming harmoniously with the wrecker.

Re: Apophos 2042
The mega-wrecker rolls into the mall parking lot. It's a messy few minutes as everyone figures out hitching up the vehicle and getting ready to roll.
Are you going to leave the party bus behind?
We've got three more security vehicles incoming- 5 minutes. We'll probably have to fight them before we reach the On-Ramp.

Re: Apophos 2042
Axel is reluctant to leave the party bus with its roomy interior and various installed exercise equipment. Unfortunately since we don't have extra drivers, the bus will have to stay. For now. =)
*OOC- a side note, do we have places to stay, a home base or something? Or are we living out of vehicles?
