Sheltered: Warning Signs

Part of the Fate of Heroes series - spoilers ahead!

Another month has passed and the bunker is going strong while the world outside is just getting worse as evidenced by a duo of scum who attempted to pick axe their way through the vault doors. Fortunately they gave up upon finding a second door behind the first.

There is no such protection for people out on expeditions though, as Michael Mustache is killed by an unarmed, kung fu warrior. Catherine manages to escape but her injuries are too severe and dies back at the base where Amanda Bandana is assigned to harvest her. She does the job but promptly goes catatonic from the stress of what she just did. Fortunately Cannibal Amy is there to care for her, feeding her Catharine's meat to make her feel better...

Gary is also laid low by a bandit in a factory, and his ally Cynthia (who proves to be a terrible fighter) barely makes it out alive. Lucky for her, she meets Carolyn and Martha Stanley on the road, who help her get back to the bunker. As a reward for their assistance, both women are welcomed into the family.

Carolyn then tells of a new group who have established themselves at the nearby Glenchester city, led by some fierce matriarch. Christine quickly gets on the radio and warns the expeditions in that area to be extra careful. Almost as soon as she finished transmitting the bunker came under attack again by the same scum from before, now with one extra man.

This time they break through and kill Amanda Bandana and Martha Stanley (she didn't last long). Despite managing to kill one of the raiders, the remaining bunkerites cower in fear as the last two raid the pantry, taking a good amount of supplies but sparing their miserable lives. As they leave they make it clear that it is their old acquaintance Janet, aka the matriarch, who owns them now.

That did not go well.
