In RBM, we didn’t see a whole lot of the convoy camp, so with the new mission driven Scout in Redux, I’m spending a little more time on that instead of rushing to exit the quarry. If you’re curious about what Carol’s actually seeing, the field kitchen Scout has “appropriated” is a containerized kitchen. I debated back and forth between the CK and a MKT-99, and in the middle of this chapter, changed to the CK. Never fear, they’ll still get the big community center kitchen at Homestead, but this will make life a lot easier on the cooks than the makeshift kitchen system they used in RBM. And for further curiosity, the M934A1 Expansible Van that pulls it. (Link tips: click with the middle mouse button or right click if you want those to open in a new window.)

With RBM, there was the version-with-smut (AO3) and the “clean” version (FFN). I know some readers popped over to FFN for the clean chapter, so I’m going to add a PDF for the clean version of the chapter that anyone who wants to skip the smut without breaking immersion can pop that up to read.

Although at the rate I’m going, even with Scout and Shane speedrunning their smutty times, it’s going to take until chapter 20 to get to that point on Day 3! 🤣
