We got back to the barge-on-wheels and were stopped by some other mutants, who wanted to jab us with needles before explaining what they were for. Turned out to be some kind of vaccine, but as far as we saw it, it was an unprovoked attack and they were trying to inject us with goodness-knows-what, so we put the pedal to the metal and drove out of there. The vaxxers were very insistent, however, and gave chase. They exploded in a fireball, but not before taking out one of our wheels - Cecil was NOT amused.
Moral of the story: if you're regenerating, eating weird berries is fine. To everyone else, they're less fine.

Jetstream: “Do you think I should feed him a berry?”
Gunther & Cecil: “No!”
Gunther: “It reminds me of my home in Unspecified European Country.”
“There’s a huge glass ceiling? So the female characters can’t get through there.”
“That’s just MEAN!”
GM: “Bag of chips.”
Player: “So … crisps.”
GM: “No, microchips. In a crisp bag.”
“You want me to fist them with a glowing rock?”
“I was just enabling you to move.”
“Enabling! Families do that!”
“You’re assuming that it died.”
“We’re player characters. We assume a whole heap of things.”
“So they’re animal mutant supremacists?”
GM: “Contrary to your deeply held beliefs, you’ve been vaccinated.”
“That thing was carrying the Death Star plans, you jackass!”
“What’s a Death Star?!”
“You can’t reach them with your junk. You’re not that gifted.”
“He’s got his own dehydrated sex toy! Run!”
(to Gunther) “No in-party feeding. We’re not into that. Yet.”
Player: “Is anything more recoverable from the car?”
GM: “Not anymore.”
“That’s very cynical and also beautiful.”
This game is currently on hiatus, but will be continued at some point!
