Chapter 6 - New Ottawa: Among Wolves

Two Months after the City was revived, the New Ottawans' had settle in nicely. The middle of Autumn was treating them well, but the effects of the melting continent of Antarctica was beginning to effect the weather, heat and ability to grow crops. 

"Evil has risen up my brothers and sisters, but now more than ever, just as David defeated Goliath, we shall rise above all odds and win this!"

"AMEN REVEREND!"

Reverend Everett was giving his Sunday sermon, trying to motivate his audience, meanwhile the Ghost and the other leaders of New Ottawa were planning their next move.

"These are the moments that will go down in history. We've all trained for this, after all we have the best chance of winning. Everyone, welcome back Audrey of Zeta Phi Kappa group. Her group did their best, but they realized just how hard this is. They are to be welcomed back with honor."

"Right, down to business. Thanks to Archie, we have mapped out the surrounding area, our biggest focus on the Nuclear Power plant just outside of Marseilles. We have no idea if the damn thing is still working, but we might be able to make shit work. We also have the water wheel at lots powering homes and storage right now. I have no idea how long it'll last but for some good news, Logan and his crew have recovered an old steam locomotive. It has passenger cars so we have coast to coast travel once again, but there is no way of knowing how good the tracks are."  said the Overlord finishing his briefing. 

"Food stores are holding for now, and thanks to the river, we have a supply of fish incoming for now. Guns and ammo are plentiful, so I've been taking teams out and hunting deer and anything else we can freeze and store. We have no idea how it'll hold up once winter is here, but we've gathered plenty for now." added the Busch Hunter

"The Liberty Lurkers and I have been making sure the airbase is stocked and ready for anything that may come our way. I'm not sure on the progress of the Enola Gay, but those engines seem to be giving Logan and his team trouble so H and Daws have been lending them a hand. We also found a dozen HA-40 and HA-50 in the ruins of Area 32." reported Barbara

"Excellent! So long as we all keep doing our best, we shall survive. Audrey, you and your group are to get settled for now, once that's done, report to the Overlord for assignment. As for my part of the briefing, I've done some recon closer to Seneca, and I think we should get ready."

"Ready for what Ghost?"

"Preppers, something tells me Seneca didn't die off that easily."

As the Key Counsel meeting adjourned, everyone went back to their tasks. The Ghost patrolled the streets and helped out a group as he went along. Around midday, things had went just as the Ghost thought, Seneca wasn't dead, rather they were quite alive and kicking.
