Alex reads the label on the canister that we found and he sees that it is for a nutritious plant that was edible on the Talolan planet, but it is unknown whether or not it is digestible by humans.

We continue our travel and make it to Menomonee Falls. Alex picks up all of the things that he had stored in the cave and we stay here the night. The next morning as we get up and see that it has started snowing. We figure that it is going to accumulate into a couple of inches of snow, but it’s better to get started moving. We load up everything with the horses and start off.

We stop in Franklin at the prison, though it is not a swap meet time now. The person at  the gate asks us who we are and we discuss the Templars being around here and he says that they are called “The Crusade”. He seems concerned that they are so close. He offers us a spot to stay for the night and we bed down. Before heading to sleep we look to trade. JD is interested in some grenades and we find only one. He negotiates with the man and convinces him that his .357 is the one Dirty Harry used in the movie. He is convinced and gives him the grenade. Zerc is not able to sell any of his toilet paper unfortunately.

The next day we hit the road and after a couple of hours we see a pile of bodies the road. Looking around, we see smoke off in the distance. Meaghan, Zerc and JD go off to take a look while Simon and Alex stay with the cart. After a few moments Alex and Simon hear noises north and south on the freeway. Simon jumps underneath the cart and suddenly huge mutated wolves converge on us. Alex creates a barrier around the cart just in time and the wolves bounce off of it and cannot get through. They seem momentarily confused. The others hear that something is wrong and start running back. Meaghan and Zerc start shooting and take several of them out, almost all of them with headshots. Alex struggles but manages to keep up his barrier for several more moments until the others can shoot all of the other wolves. We pile the dead wolves on the cart to keep their pelts and continue on.

We see from their tracks that the Templars are near Caledonia, but we do not pursue them now. Later that day we finally make it back to the compound. We have been gone about 4 days. Alex begins to connect up his nanotech and prepares to grow more Talolans. Meaghan skins the wolves for their pelts.
