Mick finished up cauterizing the pipes as the drivers as made their introductions, they were a weird bunch indeed but Mick was in no position to be picky, and they all looked like they could handle themselves, people don't last long in this world if they cant. Mick walked over to his mantis helicopter and began the fire the engine up, it was spluttering and creaking but the semi-functional ignition finally started to fire up. Mick finally responded to the drivers as he started to open the garage door, and the powerful sun beamed into the dusty hangar.

[i]Yo William, its pretty dirty in here so I'd get Dr Hanz to look at that cut before it gets infected, I dont want to have to quarantine you in the boot of your own car, fella.[/i]

Mick then turned to Andries, who was fiddling with the gatling gun on his rough, but ready looking car.

[i]I have dossiers on everything, you don't live to 32 in this shitty county without doing your research on the world around you, and I sure as hell wasn't going to recruit a bunch of random outlaws for such an important and lucrative job, I wouldnt want to waste the ammo trying to protect myself from a daylight robbery...anyway time to move out.[/i]

The garage door was now fully open, Mick had stepped inside of his chopper which 'walked' out of the garage with its insect like legs and Mick turned to the convoy as they loaded what little gear they had and jumped into their cars.

[i]Okay Convoy, I'm gonna be your eyes in the sky, switch your in-car radios on so we can all communicate but dont stuff up the channel with too much chatter, it drains my chopper battery. [/i]

The Mantis' blades began to whir as it slowly began to hover, first 5 feet then 20 feet then 40 feet off the floor. The radio crackled on as Mick's voice came through suprisingly clearly over the comms.

[i]The road in front of us is surprisingly rocky, although that fat mayor was against it, we are going to be taking the unbeaten path to get out of this shit county, so the path will be very uneven. I'll need the Off-road vehicles to take the lead..[b]Oshkosh, WingJack and The Banshee[/b] will be taking the lead of the pack for the first leg of the trip, the rest of you follow in tight formation...we cant afford to get lost in the dustbowl...move out![/i]

The engines of the 7 drivers all roared to life as they peeled out from the garage and left nothing but dust in their wake, the mission had begun.
