Coach Erics "package"
Mars drone "package"[]
A Mars drone (portrayed by Arcadum) visits the bank and hands over an unknown cylindrical canister package to Coach Eric, telling him that he needs to keep it within close proximity on behalf of the Mars Corp. Questioned what he knows about the previous attack Eric tells him to keep an eye on "the big guy at the noodle shop", meaning Big Conk.
The drone doing a check at local businesses ended up at "The Grindstone" bar and accused Faye of being a minor, not permitted to sell alcohol. Initiating a search Faye shoots the drone in the back. As it returns fire it gets swarmed by the patrons and is seemingly killed by Talus Nova. Dash Spacer sees his duty as a practitioner before any company alliance and transports the body to the hospital, placing it in a stasis pod.
Rook returning learns of the drone stopped by and interrogates people of what happened, learning the drone pulled a gun on his daughter. In his search he encounters Coach Eric who isn't willing to share much information about any possible reason for the drone visit. Before leaving Rook threatens to strangle Eric with his own guts if he finds out that he had anything to do with it.
Locating the stasis pod where the Mars drone where put in suspended animation Rook fires into the glass multiple times, making sure it wont be reanimated.
Later on the "package" given to Coach Eric starts beeping ominously, eventually counting down. Just in time he disposes of the container into the tube that leads to the wasteland outside as it explodes blowing a line of fire bellowing out.[1]
