Mac was tired, but she and her men were approaching a town, or so said her navigator. He told her it looked like a good place to stop for the night and find supplies before moving on, if they wanted to move on. Every now and then, Mac and her Tres 60 would stop in a town and stay for a while. They even helped one town set up some kind of order, though the vast majority of places they came across were in complete chaos. Mac didn't mind those places, more people to be fearful and listen to her in those places. Carmel, Mac's horse, was getting tired too, she could feel it as they moved. The poor beast had been on the move for a few days now with little rest. Perhaps they'd stay in the town for longer than a night and let their horses recoup. And perhaps they could cause a little trouble and recruit more members while they were at it.

Since the world as they knew it was over, it wasn't so easy to cause trouble and be known for it. There wasn't any newspapers or news reporters to report the latest destruction. Everything was word of mouth now. Even though word spread quickly, there were still gaps in communication, and the Tres 60 weren't as feared as they once were. This had caused some her men to leave the gang, but Mac let them. She didn't want weak fucks in her group if they couldn't take the way things were now.

Coming into the town, Mac wasn't sure how she felt about the place. She was tempted to just find supplies and leave with her men instead of stay awhile. Perhaps move on to the next town for the rest they required. But as the gang traveled around Cascade Locks, Mac noticed something was going on beneath the surface. People were organizing, but with who? Mac actually got down from her horse and grabbed a random person by the collar.

"Hey, what's going on here? Who runs this place?" she asked forcefully. The man, who was startled to come across a women with strength in her grip, initially didn't answer her. So Mac had to shake him twice to get his attention better. "Come on, I don't have the time for bullshit," she warned, her hand reaching for one of her knives.

"Okay, okay, chill out lady," he replied. He gave her a name, Saga, and told her to talk to that person. Mac didn't bother thanking him and just shoved him along. Mac had no idea who this Saga person was, but she sure as hell was going to find out. If there was some real leadership going on, Mac wanted in. And if need be, find herself either an ally or an enemy. So Mac made her way back to what was called the Bridge of Gods, nice name, and took a group of 4 with her for back up if need be. She ordered the rest to stay in town, lay low, and relax while she figured out what was going on.

Looking around, Mac wasn't sure who to talk to, so she simply announced, "Hey, I'm looking for Saga. I'm told she runs this place? Know where I can find her?"
