As the Lone Star Republic and the Ottawans land, they are greet by the people of New Ottawa.
"When you said you had shit to offer, you weren't kidding."
"We knew rebuilding the world would take time, but most importantly people. Keith, this is Takashi of the Japanese Wings of Fury and Clancy of the Irish Republican Army. Both are from their homelands but journeyed here for the freedom we are fighting for. Please treat them with the same respect you showed me."
"Shit, I get Ireland, but Japan? That's over yander."
"They got hit hard and the IRA lost plenty of its members trying to fight the New World Order. Also, where is your contact from Louisiana?'
"She'll coming up the Mississippi using hovercraft. She'll be here."
"Ghost, we got boats on the water."
"Have them beach it at Lots."
"Roger that."
"Sounds like she's here."
As the Ghost and Keith head over to Lots, Cassie and her group had landed and began unpacking.
"When you said Ottawa, I thought you were crazy."
"Shit Cassie, you know how we are in Texas."
"So who's this?"
"This here is the Ghost of Ottawa, the leader of New Ottawa.
"Well Ghost, I am Cassie, of the Bayou Witches of Louisiana. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Witches? Like those who use crystals and hexes?"
"You've got it."
"I...Sure why not, what the heck. Welcome to New Ottawa."
"Using a waterwheel to provide electricity? Very unique."
"Yea, with all of the recent additions to our little city, we are going to need an alternate for of power. Once you two are settled, come to the Courthouse, the Key Counsel is meeting, and you both should be there."
"Sounds like a fun time, I'll just follow you over there."
"Likewise partner."
As the Key Counsel convened once more, the issues facing New Ottawa were piling up. Members of New Ottawa and the Counsel voiced their issues, hoping to get help and support.
"For our new friends and allies, I am the Busch Hunter, lead hunter of my group of New Ottawa hunters. Due to the influx of people joining our settlement, we are in need of more hunters and farmers. Archie has been doing his best to instruct our farmers on what to plant, but frankly, we lack the food to keep everyone fed."
"I am the Chief Scientist, Juno, here in New Ottawa. My team and I have been working with the Overlord and Bubba to keep the lights on. The problem is the waterwheel is too small to give us the power we need accommodate our new allies and even the Japanese we are making citizens. We are discussing looking into Lasalle Lake Nuclear Power Plant as a solution to our problem. The Japanese have a nuclear technician with them who is willing to help us get power from the station to here. Problem with that is Reagan. We have no idea when he'll attack us again, nor if he'll hit the power plant. We've also considered looking into the Starved Rock Lock and Dam. Simply using the turbines to power the city is far better, but we lack the man power to get it done."
"I'm Logan, head mechanic in the Aviation Motor Pool, frankly, we need parts. Stripping cars is great, but without the ability to make our own parts, we can't repair every plane we have. CIMCO has a smelter that we could use to cast parts, but again, just like everyone else, manpower is the issue."
As the counsel deliberated, Keith stepped on the panel floor.
"As it seems, you are all in quite the bind, but I believe the Lone Star Republic can aid you. You've given us a place to rest our heads as the gulf reclaims Texas and the southern states. I can divide our civilians into groups to aid all of you. I also noticed a lack of soldiers in the area, and seeing your military commander is here, I'd like to have him work directly with our commander as well."
"Like Keith said, you willing gave us a place to stay, so it is in our best interest to assist you. I, Cassie of the Bayou Witches of Louisiana, wish to assist in anyway possible. The Ghost took us in without question, so let's return the favor."
"Truly, Americans of all kinds can come together and build something great. All of us have been hurt by the New World Order. I want everyone on the counsel and station leads to get with Keith's and Cassie's people. Logan, if you want parts, we'll get CIMCO fired up, but our main focus should be on keeping the lights on and freezers cold. Juno, we will all help get the lock and dam sending power to New Ottawa. This is why the New World Order won't win. Teamwork of Americans, Japanese and Irishmen. We can't lose, so let's get out there, and make our little friendly city the best we can!" said the Ghost standing up. As the meeting ended, the groups loaded up in trucks and began their journey to Starved Rock Lock and Dam, eager to keep the lights on in their little city.
