RNG ScrewA specific piece of hardware found in various locations in Malton, typically obscure or darkened areas, the RNG screw is a majestic sight to behold, consisting of a single slightly rusty fingernail-sized, T-shaped bit of metal. Alarmingly, there seems to be a tendency for wounded survivors to be found dead in the immediate vicinity of this simple screw, filled with bullet holes, savagely scalped and thrown out of their homes. Surely it couldn't be the work of an inanimate object? Even more distressingly, when dispatched violently within a certain range of this screw, members of the terrorist organization Flowers of Decay seem to have a tendency to rise back up again, decidedly alive, as if nothing happened. If injured, the FOD's wounds will mysteriously vanish. The screw seems to have a strange tendency to be found wherever these ruffians go, for reasons unknown. Its true motives may be sinister indeed. If encountered, do not panic, the screw will at most fall to the ground and roll around a bit. Calmly walk away or remain perfectly still, with both eyes fixed on the screw at all times, and hands well away from your weapons and you should be fine. Wounded survivors, on the other hand, should consider immediately removing themselves from the area or seeking immediate medical attention, lest they be discovered much later shot dead or beaten to death under circumstances most mysterious. Displays of friendliness or simply being at full health seem to alleviate such runs of bad luck, however. Force seems to be an option against this sinister piece of hardware, should you bizarrely require a reason to assault a tiny piece of metal lying on the floor. Be aware, however, studies have proven the screw somehow has the ability to withstand as much punishment as a fully armored, conditioned soldier. Those who have failed to finish the job, as they say, often end up rather unfortunately tripping on a shotgun blast and onto several dozen pistol rounds. However, in the event of its destruction, the screw will always be found elsewhere shortly afterwards, completely intact, so even extreme measures are only temporary. Scientists are hard at work researching the properties of this unusual helical fastening device, though work has been interrupted by the unfortunate deaths of several screwologists, primarily when they plummeted several stories from their NecroTech labs to their deaths, falling onto sharp knives and axes hundreds of times in the process. |
