Vacant Graves (2012)
“Stanislaus would have been hard pressed to find us in this group, especially given our camouflage, but big groups also attract big guns. Knives didn’t worry me so much as Gatlings.
The miners were spoiling for a fight, though they weren’t ready for one. Most of them had picks or sledgehammers, which would be great for cracking filterhelms, except it was hard to get close enough for that when your victim’s peppering you with flechettes. A few of the rioters managed to scrounge up firearms—a ...single-shot rifle and a few derringers. I even saw an antiquated muzzle-loader that had probably last seen service at the Battle of New Orleans.
We didn’t encounter any hardheads, probably because Mack led us through the stark woods again. His men might’ve been spoiling for a fight, but the big miner sure wasn’t. We ran around Liutt’s mansion and followed the ridge line back to the cabin with the secret room.
For a second, I thought maybe we’d taken a magic dirigible ride back to Paris, circa 1790.MoreLess
