[DW] “Head-Hunter caught by his...hand?”

No warnings really. Fluff, maybe mention of murder but that’s it. Child USER again. Stanley ALT again.

The USR Is fighting two battles and losing.

The USR Had cut off Alaska—or, simply, the Yielded Wastes—long Ago. It had filled with Withering, irritated creatures that liked to make lunch out of patrols. So Republicans left there hand to fend for themselves, creating large compounds and federations with lots of resources and weaponry. Now the Sky Republic wants it.

But the Yielded Wastes didn’t get by on the snow alone. COTA had a hand in supporting their growth, and most inhabitants of the Yielded don’t exactly like their Republican ancestors anymore.

Now, to get to Alaska on foot alone, they would have to go through Canada....which doesn’t like them either—and are currently fighting—so now flight in the next option. They fired up an old federation right up on the borders of Minnesota to easily fly to Alaska and fight the Canadian Front.

Conflict travels the grape vine easily, especially with big names. So the Remnants easily found the federation’s location, USR camps, and so on.

Conveniently, Stanley had just been found and recruited. It was a golden opportunity: people who (finally) look like you, relate to you, AND hate the same people as you? It was a no-brainer. So, when the Remnants offered him the grand job of wiping out the Republican council, he said yes. Immediately.

It didn’t take long. A disguise, some fire, bullets, bloodshed, the nine yards. Job done.

But while he was leaving, some little fool decided his finger was the best delicacy in the entire wasteland.

Someone had asked me to make a scenario like this since the first Stanley bot. Not only did I not see their comment until later, but I also had no plan for it...until now.

Next DW bot is going to be another COTA one...then some USR. I like making unapologetic bad guys.

As always, make sure to comment if you think something a little funky. Or just to say you liked I. I always like replying to those.
